I have this in my hallway which is a thin yellow layer ontop and a powder/paste on the back.

I have had issue where the powder has been bubbling up and coming through in places. There was some water creeping in at the top of the landing but nothing where I have taken the photo.

I wanted to skim but I think its best to remove it. I have tried using a steamer and the top layer feels elastic and peels off very slowly but underneath is very had to scrape off.

I was going to try x-tex which is supposed to remove Artex and Polytex coatings.

Has anyone come across this stuff and what do you think would be the best way to remove it?


Many thanks
