    LOL 2:39 She says to prep the wall for more wallpaper. Yeah right.

      Lol wall paper is never a good idea. It's always temporary and difficult to change. I'll gladly paint my walls every 10 years or so

    I used everything she said but the scoring tool broke so I scored the layers of wall paper and paint with a utility knife. I ended up scoring the plaster wall in the process but that's ok because my main goal was achieved; to get all the wall paper off of the century old plaster walls. Now I have to repair the plaster before it is primed and painted.

    Thanks for the tips. We are taking wallpaper off my 100+ year old family home and wasn't sure if there was any difference in technique in taking wallpaper off drywall vs plaster.

    I am removing paper that has been in my home before Noah's ark was built! since I rent my landlord sees nothing wrong with it. I have been living here for 25yrs. I can't look at this atrocity for one more second! 😣 I have gotten the paper. but the problem is that the plaster came off with my first pull. About 2 feet. is there any way to compound this and sand when dried? HEIP!!!

    Wallpaper should have been outlawed when it came of the Mayflower! It is the worst shit to remove. You are actually better off drywalling over existing wallpaper.

    My wallpaper is down to the brown paper beneath over plaster wall (t least i assume it's plaster, very vulnerable, can scratch with fingernail). This is the difficulty: I've tried steaming it but even the tiniest amount of pressure on the plaster causes it to score. It's like how is this possible? I swear it seems like the paper is bonded and fused with the plaster.

      I had the same issues, mine was plaster behind my wallpaper, steam didn't work well for me especially on the ceiling. I bought a hand pump sprayer and filled it with hot hot water and then scored the wall and sprayed the paper a few times over a 10-15 minute period and it came off quite easily, I did have a few scratches here and there but just used drywall mud to fill them and sand lightly, primered and painted and looks great.

    This is a huge pain in the ass. The idiot before I owned my place literally glued thick canvas paper over like 5 layers of paint and random wallpapers. I just said screw it and tore down most of the plaster then replastered it.

      I couldn't use the soak method, it was layer of ps8nt, then a wall paper then paint. then walpaper, then paint. fml

    None of these work. I'm in a 1912 colonial and I tried every method except steam and it's a no go. About to get some 200 grit sand paper for the 9 inch angle grinder and go to town
