Abstract
A method is disclosed for providing a substantially smooth surface on a wall substrate having a wall surface with surface irregularities. The method comprises applying an adhesive substantially uniformly to the surface of the wall substrate, and attaching to the wall surface a base sheet having sufficient stiffness, thickness and compressibility to conceal the surface irregularities and provide a substantially smooth surface on the wall substrate. In one aspect of the method, the base sheet is a nonwoven fiber glass mat.

A method for providing a smooth surface to a wall substrate having a wall surface with surface irregularities comprising:
- (a) applying an adhesive substantially uniformly to the wall surface and
- (b) attaching to the wall surface a base sheet comprising a nonwoven fiber glass mat with sufficient stiffness, thickness and compressibility to conceal the surface irregularities and provide a substantially smooth surface on the wall substrate.
A method for providing a substantially smooth surface on a wall substrate having a wall surface with surface irregularities comprising:
- (a) applying an adhesive substantially uniformly to the wall surface, and
- (b) attaching to the wall surface a base sheet having sufficient stiffness, thickness and compressibility to conceal the surface irregularities and provide a substantially smooth surface on the wall substrate.
A method for providing a smooth surface to a wall substrate having a wall surface with surface irregularities comprising:
- (a) applying an adhesive substantially uniformly to the wall surface and
- (b) attaching to the wall surface a base sheet having a bending stiffness of at least about 120 gcm, a thickness of at least about 0.020 inches and a basis weight of at least about 3lbs/100 ft.
