Default Removing OLD HARD walll paper

" wrote in message
oups.com...

Ok, i'm now onto the wallpaper removal of a different room. It is all
old and cracking and when I'm taking it off by just picking at it, the
paper comes off in small flakes. I was thinking of spraying and
scraping, but I was also thinking that it might be possible to just
take an orbital hand sander and just go over it with a medium grit
paper. Has anyone done this? - removing wall paper is one of my LEAST


A steamer is the usual gadget. Steam
dissolves the older types of wallpaper adhesive.
