Hello,
the drywall work is complete. Ceilings and sloped ceilings have been covered with gypsum boards.
There is still a small gap between the sloped ceilings and the ceiling. There is also a small gap between the sloped ceilings and the walls.
These need to be sealed with acrylic sealant. The question is, should I do this before or after applying smooth fleece wallpaper to the ceilings and sloped ceilings? And should I do it before or after wallpapering the walls with textured wallpaper?
Thank you very much.

You don’t do that at all. Because no matter what you do there, it will crack. So you leave the gap and cover it with a nice molding.I also applied acrylic there after the textured wallpaper was installed. Then I painted over it in white... after 1 3/4 years, there hasn’t been any cracking at all.
Lucky you. Woodchip wallpaper also helps to cover up some imperfections. It’s especially critical when you don’t glue anything on top, but just paint over it. Specifically:
The biggest cracking issue occurs at the junction between masonry and drywall. Example here: walls are masonry, so practically rigid, ceiling with wooden beams and drywall (gypsum board). Not truly rigid. Solution: instead of using acrylic sealant, install a trim strip at the joint.
Junction between drywall and drywall: both are flexible. So the solution could be a trim strip or alternatively embedding a crack bridging tape and then repainting or wallpapering over it.
That’s my understanding. Karsten

Ok, thanks, I don’t like the trim.
I asked three painters, and they all say to apply acrylic directly after wallpapering, before painting.
Do they not know what they’re doing, or do they just want to finish quickly and leave?
But I know the painter who does the final work; he’ll come back if it doesn’t work out.
