OK, I think that I will take all your advice and try to make some "sample" products ... yes the enamel is very thick paint, and I am going to try the lime - to see if it will work to get the texture I want ... with a trowel - no doubt it will thicken it up - but will it dry right - and stick to the old wall paper? vinyl - (I'm thinking vinyl because it washes easily - but it may have been put up before they had the self adhering backside ... and if it is paper it wouldn't be much different than the surface of the dry wall ...
at least that is my theory ... thanks for all your great advice ... I may end up getting the mud/joint compound - I've worked with that before and found it easy to apply and mix even when it came dry.
Quoting: Shadow Dance if it is a paper wallpaper there's a good chance it will bubble when applying anything waterbased....good luck...post back on how it goes. yes, you've both convinced me that the paper has to come down, and given me several great way to do that without damaging the dry way ... luckily this is the only room in the house with paper ... yes, I will let you know how it goes ... thanks again, I really appreciate your input - but it is going to take me a while to talk myself into removing that F'n wall paper LOL and PS ... thanks for the vid on the "lime wash" I wouldn't even know what to look for ... and it was very helpful thanks for you time ... now back to your regularly scheduled programming ... ain't GLP GREAT!?!!
