Scraping Wallpaper Sucks...

just sayin'

What are you using as a solvent?

Is it actually paper, and not vinyl? If so, my dad once made this concoction that, among other things, I believe, had baking soda in it. You could just about slough it off with a fingertip. You have to soak it in it.

If Vinyl, I believe a heat gun or steamer does the trick. You can probably find great tips online, maybe ask.com

true facts from all sides.

even when it's easy, it is full of the suckage. I hate the way the wallpaper glue smells.

pewwwww, like stale... glue. Yeah.

Been there, done it as much as we can.

Soap, hot water, and ZIF. The paper is off fine...its the adhesive that's being a bitch. Its coming off with the scrape of a fingernail, but that takes FOREVER.

For whatever reason the previous owner of my house decided it would be a good idea to wallpaper the cabinets.

So it makes it doubly bitchy, since its adhesive on wood.

I wonder if Goo Gone would work on that...

I have most of it off, but hmm...next time (didn't even think of Goo Gone)

Removing wallpaper is what terrorists should have to do for punishment, but I think it is banned by the Geneva Convention.

I had ugly wallpaper in my bathroom, so I picked at it a little bit. And then a little bit more. And then, I started tearing it off in huge stripes of pink and blue seashells.

In the end, I found it much easier to knock out the walls, and put up drywall. Which were then painted.

Yeah, I hate taking down wallpaper THAT much.

Goo Gone helps.

Peeling wallpaper sucks BIG TIME.
