*#&^%*$# fecking Wallpaper
 

Never ever again! Anyone wanna tell me how to get this shit off the wall in more than a 3 cm shred at a time????

Go and buy some wallpaper remover. You mix it up with water and soak the paper. The paper bubbles up from the wall and it is easy to scrape off in big pieces. The trick is having the patience to let it soak in.

I've been scoring it and soaking it and now am using the absolutely most appropriate tool for the job....a spatula :p I tore 3 holes in the drywall being in a hurry :yikes:

you mean you bought wallpaper remover and it's not working ??????

Lil if its vinyl paper you have to pull off the vinyl layer first and then remove the backing left on the wall with the method I mentioned

Sounds like it's been painted over some of the layers. You can rent a special wallpaper steamer that dose a great job.















(slow down) ;)

Right! TY BIBI, I know you are right...That is what I'm trying to do...I did not buy remover because the last time I found it really not any more effective than water, but this time I may have to go get it. It's soooo hot and with the ceiling fan on the liquid is evaporating and drying instead of soaking in good!

Oh and well patience is REALLY not my strong suit.:D

I don't know why I thought I'd actually get to paint today :p

HAHAHA...Here I sit giving my sage advice and yet I am facing a wall that I should have tackled a year ago.......

Good luck Lil....I will never wallpaper again! lol

If it makes you feel better:) ………….. NO WAY you would have painted today anyway.

Most all of the time you have to a little spackling at best, to get a wall to look good with paint. Giving that time to dry and sanding before a sealer or primer, then waiting for that to cure before covering with paint would have made for a long day and a crummy job.

Just being dry to the touch isn’t enough. Anything that was wet should have at least overnight to cure before covering it with the next process.

ahhh Lil...That crosses the street of "it hurts sooo good" to plain old frigging torture lol

WTF PF...........we aren't trying to boil an egg or anything her you know ? :)

I don't use spackling...we were a millitary family...everyone knows you use toothpaste to fill the holes up in base housing :yikes:

:grin: :rofl: :grin:

Bibi- the elephant girl! She doesn't forget ANYTHING!! LMAO

You could, of course, remove the walls and put up new ones. :D










I'll go back to my corner. :)
