Posts Tagged ‘Stripping’
Hi, I started stripping our hall wallpaper yesterday and have got all of it off, or so I thought. Actually the previous owners have put pvc primer and then skimmed over the original wallpaper and then papered over this (the flat was built in 1900), the original wallpaper is really firmly stuck to the plaster and I’m having to use a chisel to get it off. Steamer doesn’t seem to be helping at all. Plaster is in good condition underneath. Does anybody know what might loosen the old paper? I’ve read fabric softener or vinegar? I think the steam might actually be making it stick to the walls harder!
