Glue
Removing paper border that my wife hung. I have never had this much trouble with paper. I asked her did she use somekind of glue besides just booking the paper. At first she said no. She then said it seems like she did. Anyway, in the places I have off (one complete side), the glue i s thick and sticky. Now I would say theh water activated the glue on that side, and it may have. But, the other areas are a tacky too, and they have had no water or anything. This stuff has been up a few years. Hate to say it, but I am at a loss as to any quick painless way to proceed. I think about waiting til tomorrow and let everything dry real good, sand, etc., but some of this was stripped yesterday, was not wet, and is still tacky. What gives?

Re: Glue
My current home had a kids room. Mom cut figures out of books and glued them to the wall with whatever was available. Sanding was my only option. I used a Mouse, the orbital was too aggressive.

Re: Glue
If this glue was dry, I'd do the same thing. 12:05 here and it is still tacky. Maybe it will be dry tomorrow. If so, I'm not trying t o remove anymore. Just going to maybe sand, prime, skim, prime and paint.

Re: Glue
This glue s eems to be trying to dry. I bought some Dif. I have never had to use it before and not sure I want to chance reactivaying this stuff and ruining the paint I have up to that area. Hopefully it will be dry by the time I am ready to second coat, and I will just prime and skim since this is my rental anyway.

Re: Glue
Just some glue wife used. Why? Have no idea. Never knew her to use glue like that. The stuff is slowly drying. I had decided to put another border over it but may not have to,

Re: Glue
I use an iron to remove those tough borders.
