I have a customer who is trying to remove some wallpaper in her bathroom. She has tried DIF and a steamer. Nothing is working very well. She will get a liitle area off nicely and then it will pull off the face of the drywall. The wallpaper she is trying to remove seems to be a commercial quality paper. The paper has a mesh backing. The DIF works on the adhesive, but it does not seem to get through the heavy paper with any kind of consistency. I suggested that she try one of those scoring tools. I would appreciate any suggestions for techniques or products that she could try. I thank you in advance.
