Therefore my inquiry. Q2 is standard... we have that too. But we will only be painting. And I will have no problem with the wall looking like plaster and not like smooth filler. In our old property on the ground floor, we scraped off the wallpaper back then. The substrate comes from a time when wallpapering was standard. And it is sufficient for me. There are no dents in it. I think if you let the plasterer know that you only want to paint, then he will also put effort into Q2 - at least that's what I hope.
