Hi
I'm beginning to remove some old wallpaper. The paper is painted anaglypter (spelling?).
First off I'm just ripping it off dry, with the intention of sponging and steaming it off for the next stage.
Underneath the paper is a yellow substance which is patchily coming off with the paper. House is 1900's terrace, I think the walls are plastered with a limestone cement base material.
I'm not sure what this substance is, but to describe it :
- It's almost paint like
- Doesn't cumble and comes relatively easily (mixed with PVA?)
- Don't think it's part of the wallpaper.
- Pictures here:
Thanks in advance
James
