I'm having trouble removing some wallpaper?

Question

I used a scorer and have sprayed a gel remover. Overall the paper is coming off; however, it looks like the previous owner did not primer the drywall. Some of the paper (the yellowish-glue part) is not coming off and/or is pulling some of the drywall off. Does anyone have any suggestions to remedy the problem and get the rest of the paper off? (PS I have tried to use the fabric softener trick and I'm still having trouble)

Answer 1

If its really stuck just leave it. You could skim float over it and start over with paint or whatever.

Answer 2

use steam.  you can get a steamer from most paint/paper places like sherwin williams i think, and yes, it sounds like you've pulled off the drywall paper.  It's fixable with drywall mud.  sounds like you've quite a mess on your hands.  If all else fails, try a belt sander....(just kidding, i don't think that will work)

Answer 3

My parents just had this problem.

Used Vinegar and Water (1:1), a putty knife and a lot of elbow grease!

Answer 4

If you get some SIZING  apply it to the paper,,,,,,,,,It will sorta melt it away...
