How to take off stubborn bits of old palster
Anonymous user 23/02/2024 - 3.08 PM
I am preparing my walls for skimming and I have used a wallpaper steamer. There are layers and I've got through to some tough bits where the steamer just wont take it off or loosen it - is there anything else I could use, perhaps a solution? The ceiling is a particularly tough area. Could the white bits that won't come off be glue or pva or similar?
Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

If you spray the tough to remove layers with a mixture of fabric conditioner and hot water this should remove them without causing too much damage.
