  • Suggestions for an ok but not too pricey wallpaper stripper...?

    Anyone got one I could borrow for a month or so?

  • I have a wallpaper stripper in Leytonstone which you can borrow. However, check if you actually need one as in my experience you are wasting your time unless it really requires it. A wet sponge is faster. A perforator can be more useful than a steamer.

    Top tip: if you ever come across Victorian varnished wallpaper then spray a mix of ethanol (or meths) and water 50/50 onto the surface. Slightly flammable, but I can’t find anything else that will soften it.

  • Spraying walls with ethanol! Amazing.

    I’ve borrowed a spiker thing and ordered some DIF so we’ll see how that goes.
