We bought this spray on gel from Lowe's called ..DIFF ....and it works great and let it soak alittle and then it peels off. We were remodeling the old farmhouse here this past fall and there was layers of papers on many years old and it came off great with not much effort at all. Its a blueish colored gel, we bought it by the gallons and had two big areas to do with 10 foot ceilings. I am sure it would work well with borders also. We also used a foam brush to put it on also and that wasn't as hard to use as the pump sprayer since we had some much to do. The longer you leave it on the better it would work. It even took off the netting that was on the back of some of the really old wallpaper also without any trouble. We only have one more room to do yet but that will be this fall after show season, need a break from remodeling the whole house from the end of September until when we moved in December 1st everday after work and all weekend steady doing one room at a time. After we did the wall stripping we had used textured paint after primering the walls. Its a 1769 orginal chestnut log house, red metal roofing and the interior is plastered walls and I didn't want it to look "new", so we went the other way plus some walls in the kitchen are tongue and grooved walls from floor to ceiling and the interior doors to the various rooms are the same, they kinda look like barn doors with latches from the original house that are iron. It was tons of work and it took us from 1996 to 2007 to finish it up when we had the money , but well worth it and no morgage.
Now my bathroom smells like vinegar!! Can anyone give me step by step directions or hints to removing this border? I want to paint my bathroom but there's an old border that needs to come down first.
