I use something called Enviromose for stripping emulsion (it's one of

it softens it up very nicely. If I want to remove all traces, I'll
follow it up with acetone.


SWMBO'd is rather "sensitive" to organic solvents. Not a chance of
washing the wall down with acetone. B-)


Well, I was thinking more of rubbing, but the resulting smell is pretty
much the same :-) But I find that no matter what you do, you're going
to get into trouble for it.
