Wallpaper steam stripper, works every time and preserves the skim.

I'll give it a try!

But then, I've used steam specifically to remove skim before!

When I did this once, removing wallpaper, it removed the skim in places as
well. Anyway ended "doing a propper job" and removing the old skim, which
wasn't well attached (no PVA) and getting the wall re-skimmed.
