I used wallwik to remove the woodchip, which was stuck directly onto
plasterboard.

What's special about wallwik? Could you use any old cloth?

How is it different to wallpaper pasting a binbag to the wall as
suggested
once as a cure for artex? (the binbag would not need to be kept wet?)

Good idea. Must try that. Would it stay on there I wonder


You mean you would rather have binbags than artex - good point, although it
is meant to be a way to remove artex.

The wallpaper paste is kept damp for a long time because the binbag seals
the moisture in. When the artex is soaked, it scrapes off
easily(aparently - I haven't tried it yet) and stops dust too. Early artex
has asbestos in, so this is a good thing.
