Zinsser Wallpaper Cover-Up. Obliterates heavy wallpaper patterns and strong colour to provide a smooth, paintable finish. Perfect for quick and effective re-decoration without the need to strip or remove old wallpaper.

For the best results, ensure that surfaces painted are clean, dry and free of dirt, dust and grease. Wallpaper to be painted must be well adhered to the surface. Any flaking or peeling wallpaper should be removed.
Always try a test area before starting any project to assess compatibility of the final finish. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the tin at all times. Thinning is not normally recommended as this will reduce the opacity and stain blocking abilities of this product.
- Stir thoroughly before and during use, making sure to reach the pigment in the top and bottom creases of the tin
- Best results from Zinsser Wallpaper Cover-Up are achieved by applying generously with a high-quality microfibre emulsion roller, limit use of a brush application to just cutting in as a roller will give smoother, more even finish
- For very dark wallpaper for contrasting colours, a second "wet-on-wet" coat will need to be applied 15-30 mins after application of the first coat
- Allow 4 hours to dry before painting with a high-quality emulsion
