Chris ,love the polymer clay,it looks like stained glass...beautiful..

Charleen that bag is sweet..

Debbie, Do Not use the roller thingy to perferate the wallpaper ....If you get too aggressive you will leave tracks on the walls,that will have to be filled with mud,...Just dont use it...

what you need to do is...You need to peel the top layer of the paper ..then all you have left on the walls is the paper backing. Now get a spray bottle fill with water and a small amout of fabric sotfner, or dish soap,just a squirt will do,Now just mist the tar out of the paper backing,let it set a few minutes,it should start bubble and peel. Start peeling an washing...and washing and washing and washing...

Try not to do much if any scraping,it is Very Easy at this point to damage the moist drywall paper,thats the last thing you want to do is damage that.Unless you know how to repair drywall,Sadly I do know how...LOL.. The real trick is getting that paste completely off the walls,it dissapears when its wet,reappears when dry,you can feel it tho,as you are washing. If you have any questions you can tree mail me. I am a PRO at this . And I have learned the hard way. Green Grin! Green Grin! trial and error... Hilarious! wallpaper paste is tuff stuff to wash off....I have wallpapered my bathroom 5 times now,and ive damaged areas of the drywall paper itself,soo after repairing with mud,we would have to reprime before the paper went up again,and i guess i was always thinking I,ll never paint this room,I will always paper it,,so I left paste behind, painted over it,then hung paper over that...LOL... I did successfully remove paper and paint other areas of the house ... so there is HOPE and LOTS of it... Lovey dubby

But Please dont use that little rotary tool... Lovey dubby
