hi all, i have volunteered to decorate my daughters bedroom, first job was to remove the wallpaper in preparation for putting Emulsion on the walls.
I have hit a snag though, on one wall, (which was the wall involved in making the room bigger several years ago), this new plaster on plasterboard wall had a coat of emulsion on it before it was wallpapered a few years ago, so on removing the wallpaper it has also removed some of the paint as well, in patches !!!, i know that if i dont remove ALL of this old paint it will look simply awfull if i paint over it again before removing ALL of this old paint !!!
So does anyone know of an easy method of removing this old paint, i have a very sharp scraper, which does work up to a point, but i feel there is an easier way.
