Going to convert an old kitchen into a shower room and utility, I started on removing wallpaper and found there were 3 layers in parts including vinyl, got them off eventually and found yellow gloss paint underneath, this had been painted direct on to plaster. The paint had been partially removed in some parts but is intact in others and wont come off very easily. Question. What is the best method of removing this gloss paint prior to tiling,
Chemical? will the stripper chemical residues stop the tile cement adhering to the wall?
Heat strip? never tried it before.
Mechanical? What kind of mechanical device should I use, I've tried a 3M paint & varnish remover disk (like a disc of plastic brillo pad ) which fits in a drill but it doesn't work. I've seen in the dim and distant past a gouging tool with metal fingers which will fit in a drill ? can anyone recommend something?
