Subject: Thankfully my best friends have just renovated and invested in a steamer, so that is at our house for the forseable future. I'm Ok with filling and sanding, didn't think about the wet sponge to take off the glue layer though. Particularly because I don't want to oversteam. I know I will be really proud of it once it's done, and that it's a process. I just didn't realise that it was going to end up being such a big job.
In reply to: Cece 's message, "Oh horrible job! If the wallpaper is not really old, it's pretty easy to strip. The top layer usually just strips off. Then I go over the bottom layer with a wet sponge, leave it to soak a bit, then get a get a 6" stripping spatula, and it comes off easily. The wet paper is sticky and messy, but nothing a big garbage bag can't handle. If the top layer won't strip, try using the wet sponge on it and leaving for a short time (not enough to let it dry.) If it's really difficult, you can rent a steamer.(inside.)" on 17:06:33 11/09/13 Sat
