If it won't budge just skim over it

Dif zissner stripping solution and a paper tiger should shift it. Personally, I wouldn't risk skimming over wallpaper.

I've came across really old thick almost like laminated paper fused on to walls. That s**t does not budge believe me.

Skim it.

There comes a point where that is all you can do... I agree

Thanks all

i would dot and dab plasterboard over the walls. you would then have a decent background to skim.

Paper it again in a really funky on trend, bold patterned paper. ......you're welcome.

Why not just take the plasterboards off and reboard assuming it isn't to much sheet of board ain't that much
