Allow the primer to dry for the recommended amount of time, which is usually 2 to 4 hours. When dry, paint all walls and ceilings with the latex paint of your choice. Step 3
Seal cleaned paneling with an oil-based polyurethane. The polyurethane acts just like an oil base primer. Use a foam roller pad to cover large areas and your paint brush to cover areas that cannot be coated with the roller pad. Tip
Periodically refresh the wash and rinse waters, to keep the water hot enough to cut through the sticky tar and cigarette stains. To completely eliminate the smell of smoke, clean the heating and air-conditioning system's ductwork or have it professionally cleaned. Soot removers are chemical cleaners used by fire restoration companies. They are effective in the removal of smoke and tar. Cleaning should be sufficient for wallpaper.
