Removing Paper Walls
Sometimes the wallpaper on the walls is an excellent alternative to paint for interior decorating. But during the renovation of the rooms, the paint or paper change of motive is necessary remove all the paper so that it does not affect the new paint or layers.
For non-washable papers without Layer Vinyl
Dampen the paper with water using a sponge, rag or brush. Remember that during the work may be exceeded in water so it would be advisable to cut the supply of electricity where you are working for security reasons.
When meeting the wet paper will begin to blister and rise from the wall. At this time take the top corners and pull low. If the paper tears can help with a spatula, removing the remains gently, trying not to damage the wall. You can override the sizing liquid water or a mixture of water and vinegar.
For washable or vinyl Papers
You can remove the first “layer to the view” by hand with a spatula and without water as this will be useless. Subsequent layers of paper are common, so after removal of the first can continue with water as indicated above. Another way is to use a roller drill, a plastic tool that is responsible for making small holes in the paper so that it penetrates the liquid and thus dampen the lower paper layers, softening the glue.
We recommend you go doing the strip of paper work, dipping in and pulling a few minutes after the paper is wet and tends to rise. Finally subtract the walls waiting to dry completely, paint repair imperfections or marks up with putty or dough scraper, sand, and proceed with new paint or wallpaper.
