Wallpaper seams will show through if they are painted without first applying a joint compound.

Answer: True
Explanation: True. If wallpaper seams are painted without first applying joint compound, they will likely show through. This is because the seams create slight ridges that the paint will not smooth out. Applying a joint compound (spackle) over the seams and sanding them down before painting helps create a flat, even surface, preventing the seams from being visible after painting.

Answer: True
Explanation: Paint will absorb into the seam and it will show.

Answer: True
Explanation: Yes it’s true because if someone don’t want to pay to take all the wallpaper off which is more expensive then putting on then you can actually put joint compound to seal the seams and the texture of the wallpaper and then once dry you can sand smooth then paint.

Answer: True
Explanation: But I still don't agree with doing that. Wallpaper is not meant to be painted over.

Answer: True
Explanation: Wallpaper seams show through when they are painted without first applying a joint compound because of the differences in texture between the seams and the surrounding wall surface. Wallpaper seams are typically slightly raised or have a different texture due to the overlapping edges of the wallpaper. When paint is applied directly over these seams, the differences in texture become more apparent, making the seams visible even after painting. Applying joint compound to the seams helps to fill in any gaps or irregularities, creating a smoother surface that blends more seamlessly with the surrounding wall. This minimizes the visibility of the seams when painted, resulting in a smoother and more uniform finish.

Answer: False
Explanation: If it’s done properly, you shouldn’t be able to see it at all

Answer: True
Explanation: Yes, that's correct. Wallpaper seams can be more noticeable if they are painted without first applying a quick dry primer then applying a joint compound or filler. Primer seals the wallpaper, minimizing direct contact with the joint compound which has moisture and will bubble the wallpaper. Joint compound helps to smooth out any gaps or unevenness along the seams, providing a more even surface for painting. Applying primer, joint compound, sanding it smooth, and then painting over it can help create a seamless and uniform appearance, reducing the visibility of the wallpaper seams.
