Wallpaper Removal Project Step by Step Instructions

• Step 1 - Score the Wallpaper

  The solution to easy wallpaper removal is to loosen the glue behind the wallpaper.

  Begin by perforating the wallpaper with PaperTiger Scoring Tool. Its unique patented scoring wheels perforate wallpaper to allow the stripper to penetrate and dissolve the adhesive. PaperTiger works on all wallpaper - even painted-over wallcovering. The exclusive automatic depth control lets you cut through several layers of wallpaper without damaging walls during normal use.

  Only light pressure is needed. The more holes you make, the better the stripper will penetrate.

• Step 2 - Apply a DIF Wallpaper Stripper

  DIF® Wallpaper Strippers make your wallpaper removal project easy. They penetrate with special enzymes and wetting agents to loosen any type of wallpaper and dissolve old adhesive regardless of the surface it is on. Leaves walls clean and ready to redecorate.

  Start at the top of the wall and work your way down. Follow the directions on the DIF container. Allow time for the DIF Wallpaper Stripper to work.  Begin removing the wallpaper when it turns a dark color or starts to bubble.
