SteveB Save your money on DIF and like products. Use a paper tiger
and warm water.

Normally I'd agree but sometimes there are wallpaper jobs from hell.
DIF helps on those.


And I have to agree with you on that, too. Wallpaper glues can vary. A
common one is cellulose, which is a plant material. When wet, it is gooey,
and dry, it is hard. I think it is about the easiest to get off. I am sure
that in this world of new products there are glues made of things we'd
rather not know about. And I am sure that one size does not fit all with
regards to solutions that interact and make them gooey again.

Hot water, DIF, vinegar, stale tomcat ****, whatever makes yer wallpaper
sticky.

Hot water worked for me, but had I been in another region where temperature,
humidity, or whatever originally called for the use of another type of glue,
I mightn't be touting plain warm water.
