Hello. I have a travel trailer which I’m replacing the walls in the shower area. The existing walls which are 1/4 inch thick press board with a waterproof coating are glued to the trailer walls with liquid nails. I need to remove the existing walls because the plumbing fixtures won’t fit if I just add the new wall covering over the existing wall. My problem is the existing wall was glued in place with liquid nails and I’m afraid that when i pull the old wall off it will wreck the trailer walls. Can anyone give me some advice on a method to soften the liquid nails enough to be able to pull the walls off with the least amount of damage to the trailer walls. Thanks!

here's one way http://www.de-solv-it.com/contractors/
or ask these folks http://www.icipaintexportusa.com/macco.html of course, they may tell you to buy their Liquid Nails Remover (LN595) as mentioned in this article http://www.buildingadream.com/_discBT/000000a7.htm but I'm sure they have other tips..
