Can you plaster over wallpaper?
You should not plaster directly over wallpaper as this will create a weakened surface with poor adhesion. Instead, you should remove the wallpaper and leftover adhesive before applying your plaster. Not sure where to start? Check out our guide explaining how to remove wallpaper.

The length of time plaster takes to dry will depend on the type of plaster you’ve used as well as the ventilation and temperature of your room. Thin coats in well-ventilated rooms may take 3-7 days to dry whereas thicker coats of plaster can take up to two weeks to fully dry.
