Yes.

Try hiring (or buying) a wall paper steamer, this makes things a lot easier,
especially if you 'score' the wall paper in a diamond pattern before using
the steamer on it.


Break and old saw in half or buy a short Stanley Jet Cut (That's all
they are good for) and use tha to score the paper. Set yourself a target
of so many square feet per tea-break or you will soon become
discouraged.

Wet the paper with wallpaper paste then squirt it with a pop bottle full
of water. (Drill a small hole in the top.)

By the time you have cut the new rolls to size, the old paper will be
ready to peel off.


Q. With a large pattern you might get something like a foot or so waste
if you cut the next length from the roll to match. Would you be better
off matching alternate strips?
