wood chip wallpaper on ceiling!

Hi,

Have tried to get this off ceiling but its stuck fast!

Don't want to use a steamer in case i mess up the plaster board underneath.

Could i sand it down and then skim over with something like smooth over polycell???

any better ideas?

Am on a budget and would like to do most of the work myself

thanks,

  • Best way I know is =

    Run steamer in room for about an hour sealed, windows and doors closed (will be like a sauna) that normally helps
  • like smooth over polycell???


    Don't even think about it, the tub goes no where ! you would need a bank loan :rolleyes:

    sounds like a plan. If i do sand it what could i go over it with if not smooth over?

    Suppose I could just put on a couple of coats of paint and noone would know any different???
