Mark. http://www.earlex.co.uk/html/steam_html/ss200.htm Yep - it uses a vacuum system to attach the steam plate to the wall. Hmm - not sure I like the sound of it - too much steam will soften the plaster and make the wall crumble! Mark. |

And seems a wee bit unnecessary...I've only used one before but it was a case of steaming one part and then while you were stripping it you moved the plate along a bit and it was softening the paper while you were stripping and so on and so on . I thought the velcro straps were to fix it to your head. |
