Hi All
Just hung some 1200 grade lining paper as a base for emulsion.
How long does the paper take to dry before painting?

It depends on how wet the paper is, how warm and well ventilated the room
is. But a rule of thumb is 24 hours in a warm well ventilated room, before
painting. Wet paint has a tendency to peel the paper off again if started
to quickly.

Room's not too warm as the rad's off. Paper wasn't too wet either.
But is sounds like a job for next w/e. Thanks ;-)

Be aware that it may still slacken on applying your emulsion (and may
look truly appalling) but it should tighten in again as the paint dries.
