ADVICE - remains of old wallpaper on walls... cover up/ smooth finish

I've attached photos of one of my bedrooms. The walls were covered in wallpaper over 20 years ago, and about 10 years ago, an attempt was made to remove it. However, a lot of the wallpaper is still stuck to the walls and has been painted over multiple times. I think it looks really bad, and I would like to make the walls 100% smooth in the easiest and most affordable way possible. Removing the slabs and replastering would be ideal, but it's way out of my budget. I’ve come across Polyfilla 'SmoothOut,' but it seems expensive for the size. I’ve also seen Knauf Fill and Finish (20kg light). What other options do I have, and what would be the best solution? submitted by /u/Huge_Ad_6401 [link] [comments]
