Step by step process

Step 1
Leave the hard work to Polycell Wallpaper Stripper, which will penetrate the wallpaper and dissolve the adhesive to actively release the wallpaper. Wearing protective gloves and safety glasses, pour the stripper into the water (half the contents and 16 pints / 9 litres of water) and score the surface of the wallpaper (vinyl wallpaper should be peeled off to expose the backing material).

Step 2
Brush or sponge the solution onto the paper, leave for 5-10 minutes to soak in, then simply scrape off.
-
Step 3
For minor plaster repairs, Finishing Skim Polyfilla is thick enough to brush straight into shallow holes and smooth flat with the free spreader.
-
Step 4
For those little holes and cracks you find as you're re-papering, use Quick Drying Polyfilla and you'll be ready to continue papering in less time than it takes to make a cup of tea!
