Wallpaper Removal

 

DETERMINE IF THE FACE (PATTERN) OF THE PAPER CAN BE PEELED OFF EASILY.

IF THE PATTERN COMES OFF:

APPLY DIF WALLPAPER REMOVER, EITHER GEL TYPE OR CONCENTRATE TO THE PAPER BACKING AND PASTE THAT REMAINS ON THE WALL. ALLOW THE REMOVER SUFFICIENT TIME TO WORK, THEN SCRAPE THE BULK OF THE PASTE AND PAPER BACKING OFF. ONCE THE BULK IS REMOVED USE THE REMOVER TO WASH ALL THE REMAINING RESIDUE FROM THE WALL.

IF THE PATTERN DOES NOT COME OFF:

THE USE OF A PAPER TIGER WILL BE NEEDED TO PERFORATE THE PAPER. THE PERFORATION WILL ALLOW THE REMOVER ACCESS TO THE PASTE. THE BEST REMOVER FOR THIS APPLICATION IS THE GEL TYPE, IT WILL CLING TO THE WALL AND PENETRATE THROUGH THE PERFORATIONS SOFTENING THE PASTE. AFTER THE PASTE HAS SOFTENED YOU CAN SCRAPE OR PEEL THE PAPER OFF. ONCE THE PAPER IS OFF FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS DESCRIBED IN (IF THE PATTERN COMES OFF).

DIF GEL
DIF GEL IS NON TOXIC, ODORLESS AND SAFE TO USE. IT IS NON WATERY AND WILL CLING TO THE WALL. IT IS READY TO USE AS IT COMES, IT HAS LONG LASTING OPEN TIME FOR EFFECTIVE SOAKING. THE GELS OPEN TIME WILL ALLOW YOU TO WORK ON LARGER SURFACES REDUCING YOUR WORK TIME. IT CAN BE APPLIED BY BRUSH OR ROLLER AND IS EFFECTIVE IN REMOVING CLAY BASE, HEAVY–DUTY CLEAR AND LIGHT WEIGHT PASTE.

DIF CONCENTRATE
DIF CONCENTRATE ALSO IS NON TOXIC, ODORLESS AND SAFE TO USE. IT IS A THINNER MORE WATERY SOLUTION, 22oz OF CONCENTRATE MIXES WITH 2 GALLONS OF WARM WATER (THE WARMER THE BETTER). BEST APPLIED BY BRUSH OR SPRAY, STARTING AT THE TOP OF THE WALL WORK AN AREA ABOUT 2’ x 2’. DIF CONCENTRATE IS THE MORE ECONOMICAL OF THE TWO REMOVERS BUT THERE IS MORE MESS THAN WITH DIF GEL.

PAPER TIGERS
PAPER TIGERS ARE THE TOOLS THAT WILL PERFORATE THE HOLES IN THE FACE OF THE PAPER. THEY COME IN TWO STYLES, SINGLE HEAD OR TRIPLE HEAD. THEIR BLADES DONT JUST PUNCH A HOLE IN THE PAPER THEY CUT AND PULL THE PAPER AWAY. THIS TOOL DOES NOT REQUIRE A LOT OF PRESURE APPLIED TO IT, JUST LET THE BLADES DO THE WORK AND THERE WILL BE LESS DAMAGE TO THE WALL.
