Okay, I googled it and got nothing useful.

I removed the wallpaper from the kitchen and want to paint. Of course
the glue residue has to be removed. I have been that route before
using just warm water and scrub pads - not a fun occupation.

I vaguely recall seeing something somewhere about a specific product
for this job, or at least a product that works on it. I bought some
TSP but the local newspaper help column says it is a bad idea as
getting the glue plus tsp residue off cleanly is a problem.

Anybody?

Warm water and time. Get one of those 99 cent sprayers from the store.
Spray water on there. LET IT SIT for a minute or two. Wipe gently. Look
down the wall at an angle, and you can see if you have left any boogers of
glue. Do it again. Work in small areas, like 3 feet by 3 feet.

I have removed all the wallpaper from a 1800 sf house. There isn't an easy
way to do it. There ain't no magical chemicals.

Warm water and time.

Determination and patience help, too.

Have fun.

Steve

I've used this stuff many times. Works really good.

Greetings Harry,

There is a magical way to do it that doesn't require any determination,
patience, scrubbing, or time.

Textured paint.

Hope this helps,
William

PS: Use normal paint in subsequent coats and your wall will become less
textured with time.

Thanks for the replies. They were about what I expected, i.e., time
and work.

Will try the DIF GEL stuff. I located a store 50 miles from me and
since I have to be in that area anyhow next week it's no biggie.
