Thanks for the replies. They were about what I expected, i.e., time
and work.

Will try the DIF GEL stuff. I located a store 50 miles from me and
since I have to be in that area anyhow next week it's no biggie.

Save your time and money. Warm water.

I agree. Spraying water lightly to cover, wait, spray again, wait, start
scrubbing. Paste is simple to remove, just requires elbow grease.
Softens easily with water. When you get down to the wallboard, you want
to use gentle pressure so the water and friction don't damage the paper
covering the wallboard. It will stop feeling "slimey" when the paste is
gone. Shine a flashlight across the surface to try to find areas you
missed, as the texture will show when painted sometimes if paste is left
on the wall.
