I have a 100 year old house and have started removing wallpaper. The
original layer appears to be the old-fashioned all paper wallpaper
applied to an unpainted plaster wall. Some of it is adhered so tightly
that many small areas of damage to the plaster ocurred on removal. I
plan to fill the holes and damaged areas with joint compound and
reinforcing tape, and then use wallpaper liner to smooth over the
imperfections. I have several questions:
1) do I really have to prime the walls first?
2) can I use sizing instead?
3) can I size and put the liner over the old paper?

Prime either way not with latex over paper as the water may bubble or
loosen the old paper.
