OK all…
what is your method for patching spots where the paper gets partially peeled off the sheetrock.
The bathroom I am remuddling had mirror tiles stuck up with those little foam sticky squares.
75% ot them will be covered but I need to address the ones in the open…
no matter how much peel the loose paper once you apply the mud, you find more lucy stuff…
Primer??
minwax wood hardener???
Pfizer wood hardener???
peel it down to bare gypsum??
Milkbones for ALL viable solutions!!!

I have run into that when removing wallpaper. And I want to do something, but the person that I am working with doesn't see the need for the extra money. But from my experience it would be worht it.
The last one that I did on my own was a house that the WP had been painted over and it was a BAD job.
And in the bathroom and kitchen the ceiling WP had cracked pealed, and crumbling.
I scraped what was loose then use BIN. I was not too worried about the paper fuzzing. But there was a lot of places where the paper was still stuck, but when tried to go over it with mud it would chip and crack and then you had the scrungies in your mud.
The BIN seemed to work.
But they have a latex primer just for this.

I've used Gardz quite a few times, but now I just brush a very thin coat of regular 1-2-3 on the spots. Seems to work just as well.It's not too late, it's never too late.
I love it!!pretty good advice from a conservative!!!:).

First off, if the paper is just loose, I've had luck gluing it back with Elmer's. Beyond that, I remove as much loose stuff as possible, prime, and then use Zinser's canned spackle (the smelly stuff) instead of mud. Apply one thin coat, sand away the fuzz, then another finish coat.
Sand. D-Mix skim coat the wall. Or better yet, re-rock. (How big can a mirror wall be?)

I just go above the loose paper area and make a clean cut with my knife with a new blade. Then peel the paper to there, a coat of finishing mud, feather it out when it is dry with a terry cloth towel, dampened, wrapped on a block of wood. I use the towel trick on all repairs, it blends the edges much better than sand paper.
