you heat it up and then you just take it off, we used an iron on our wall, it made it so much easier. several sponges, a couple 5 gal. buckets of clean water, a 1-2 gal. garden-type pump sprayer and a commercial paste solvent/stripper to start. mix stripper and HOT water in sprayer, thoroughly wet walls, let sit 10 min., saturate again and start washing off with sponges. rinse sponges and change water in buckets often. After the wallpaper has adequately wet down & has sat for 10 to 15 minutes, I used a large (12in) window squeegy, ran it down the wall, goobs of paste will come off. I rinse the squeegy in a pail of ht water. I had to repeat this process twice & sometimes 3 times, but it goes realy fast.

How much wallpaper paste do I need?

To determine how much wallpaper paste you need, first measure the total square footage of the walls you plan to cover. Typically, one gallon of wallpaper paste covers about 300-400 square feet, but this can vary based on the type of wallpaper and the surface texture. It's wise to check the manufacturer's recommendations on the paste for specific coverage details. Always consider purchasing a little extra to account for mistakes or uneven surfaces.
