Wallpaper removal - tips...ideas ?

[myway]

Wet a sponge and wipe it down several times.What peels or bubbles cut and remove it. Skim, texture and paint.

Liquid fabric softener works as good as the remover they sell and it's cheaper.

This. ^^^^. Saturate it and give it plenty of time to work. I’ve sprayed it down a second time prior to peeling off before also if I get into some stubborn stuff.

I have an 8x12 area then about 23' x 13" above cabinets.

I'm torn between sanding and texturing and/or completely removing paper . and texturing.

I want the outcome to last.

Scoring and a steamer worked well for me

Good luck. My wife and I bought a house 8 years ago that was all wall papered. We paid someone to take it off and texture the walls. No way was I going to do it.

I put the thinnest sheet rock over mine and walla. Wall a little thicker about 1/2 "....Then textured it

At this location, I don't think an extra layer of sheet rock is an option.

I am leaning towards just letting the Wall paper guy take it all down and I'll texture & paint.

Wagner Steamer. Just did this last year and while it was a complete PITA it was only thing that worked

Go to Lowe’s and get a gallon of “bonding primer”. Apply it with a 1/2” map roller, let dry and paint.

I will rip the Sheetrock off the wall before I ever try to remove wallpaper again. Maybe not the most rational thing to do, but certainly more therapeutic.

The wall paper guy will be here Tuesday. Hope it goes well.
