I didn't want to reply to an Oooooold thread so I started a new one just to let you know how I remove the glue.
First of all (If you're lucky) the wallpaper was a high quality vinyl or cloth. I pull off all the paper leaving the glue on the wall If it's thin paper it rips a LOT!
Once I have all the paper remove, I wet the wall with a big sponge and warm water and I never use METAL Scrapers or putty knives to remove the glue. I take the cover from a wall plug.
Or use the one with the 2 holes. and thats what I use to remove the glue it tends not to gauge the wall like a putty knife or scraper will. I tried an ice scraper once and it worked ok but the sharp edges tended to leave scratch marks on the wall.
Try it!
