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? |

Re: Stripping wallpaper!
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. Last edited by Specialone; 21-02-12 at 08:07 PM. |

Re: Stripping wallpaper!
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

Re: Stripping wallpaper!
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.
