Removing wallpaper adhesive
Hi,
I have recently used a steam wallpaper stripper to remove the wallpaper in my cloakroom. This worked fine to remove the paper, but it has left a adhesive residue on the wall which I cannot see m to get off.. I have tried sanding, but this seemed to just sand off loads of plaster, and I have also tried a B&Q wallpaper spray, but this did not seem to touch it. You can scrape the adhesive off using a scraper, but this could take me days, it is quite a rubbery consistency.. Does anyone have any bright ideas ? some cleaner or chemical I could use to speed up the process.. Thanks, Paul... |
