Stripping wallpaper!

In the past I've had no probs with a Stanley knife, steamer and scraper but this stuff has been painted and it's just flaking off really slowly and taking hours.

Anyone got a magic remedy I can use?

Score it as much as you can then get the steam cleaner to it.

Plenty of steam and plenty of knife scores is the only way.
Close the door to the room and leave the steamer going for a few minutes so the room gets really steamy.

Think its called a Frogger.?.?

A board approx 9"x9" with a handle on it. The board is choca full of nails approx 1/2" long. Score the wallpaper with it then steam away till your heart's content.

Re: Stripping wallpaper!

get other people involved and have a competition to see who can get the biggest piece off. It may not make it easier but it's a way of getting others to do it for you

You can buy a rotary tool that has two or three pointy wheeled blades - makes loads of pin*****s in the paper allowing the steam to penetrate. Various makes - think my one is Stanley.
