Hi Spencer! I just arrived in the UK from my home in the US. My daughter and son-in-law live here and just purchased their first flat. I (Mom) was invited over to help with a little wallpaper removal and painting!!! I've always done my own painting but have not had much experience with wallpaper removal and prep for painting (after removal of wallpaper.) So...KZbin to the rescue!!! Luckily, I found your channel!! Your presentations are outstanding!! I think I've watched all of your videos on this subject. My shopping list is ready and I'm ready to tackle this project!! Thank you so much!! Also, I am very sorry about your friend Juan.

7:04 a.m. Thank you so much. I cannot tell you how much this video is going to help me.I stopped working on taking down my wallpaper about a week ago after experiencing every problem you mentioned in this video. At 78 years of age, completing the task became unimaginable. I watched one of your videos before, was inspired, but the excitement fizzled out because I was faced with other problems I was up against. In this video you ADDRESSED every problem I was having on my wallpaper removal adventure as well as HOW to FIX THEM. So I thank you again many times over.

Good work

Just found your channel! Wallpaper removal in a 110 y/o house with 5 layers in the great room is my challenge. I'm glad to see there's a professional that has the DIY answers.

I took wallpaper off bathroom wall. I am left with a lot of brown paper, white paper. Looks a mess. I am learning from you what to do. Very helpful.

[@mindycarter2321]

Wish I had found this video sooner. My house was built in 82. Assuming dining room had wallpaper at some point. Whatever the issue the wall peeled badly. Found video after video after video saying lock it down with Gardz. Can not find Gardz anywhere so I used a product by Kilz that is supposed to do the same thing. Started to skim the walls. No problems at first. Later after lots of expensive mud was applied the wall bubbled like crazy. No matter what I did they continued to bubble. Peel. Redcoat with the clear “sealer” and remud and more bubbles. Finally got down to the wire and was able to get peeling to stop for the most part. Skimmed the room primed with Kilz oil based original which I always use although it gets me three sheets to the wind. And painted. Room looks great now. Much better than if I would have hired a “professional”. I say that because I have yet to find a “professional” that works in this industry. Lots of dip****s though. Had a 5 gallon bucket of Kilz original sitting there the whole time. I thought about trying that but the KZbin “pros” all say Gardz. Had I found this video I would have been done a very long time ago. Thank you for the QUALITY info Spencer!!!

Thank you for the video 🙏🏻

Spencer, great video, once again! Hey let me ask you, I have had a bonding issue recently using hot mud and putting on a thin coat. Pretty darn thin, probably 1/64” up to 1/16th. I had to scrape it off and redo it. Anyway I read later on that the manufactures say that you need to put on an 1/8” inch! I am doing a lot of spot repair work scattered throughout the house and trying to keep the repairs thin so it’s easier to feather into the light “skip trowel/Spanish skip” already on the wall In your experience how thin can you really get away with hot mud? Oh considering I started priming over the existing matte and semi gloss paint that is around all of these repairs I have yet to do. Oh last thing, I live in the house and I am really trying not to do any sanding if at all possible. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated! Great channel, cheers:))

[@alexthomson7465]

I had something similar so I just put lining paper over it and painted that. Not as good as your finish here but I found that manageable. I filled the seams and lightly sanded them. Cheers for a great explanation Spencer and hope you enjoyed your working vacation! 😂

[@spencercolgan]

Thank you alex.

Like the video I am removing wallpaper in bathroom there is green boad uner it. But under the adhesive layer of wallpaper is what I think is primer ot paint because I see pencil marks on green board. Should I prime this and which would be better

[@ProfessionalPainterDecorator]

wonder why in Amrerica you don't skim over the taped plaster boards with plaster? Also... do you have Zinsser Gardz, that seal plaster board like that?

[@spencercolgan]

We have Gardz. It’s quite expensive, in my opinion. Re plaster……there is plaster over the 4’x8’ boards of gypsum-sheetrock(we call it) but what you’re seeing in the video is a column of plaster that just covers 12” or so over the joints of adjoining boards of the Sheetrock. I hope this answered your question.

[@Gunvaldtheoneandonly]

aside from the level 3 job areas, I have some places where the paper, used as crown molding, came off without damaging the walls. Is it possible to add a coat of Kilz then paint without the intervening steps?

[@spencercolgan]

I like to make it all one surface… Smooth, and that’s why I do the intervening steps

[@dennispuleo9575]

This guy is priceless 🤣

[@spencercolgan]

I forget what I said in this video… Please remind me, I need a laugh myself

[@risingsun82]

Good job. But, another option is to plaster over the entire wall paper with glue based compound following with a skeem finish coat😉🙂

[@spencercolgan]

Tell me about this!! All Compound had glue so tell me how you do this and where I can buy this

[@chrisbeach44]

Hey Spencer. You’re making work for yourself using kils. Sand down, a coat of zinsser gardz, skim walls with filler, sand down, gardz again and then paint.

[@spencercolgan]

I like what you’re saying, but here’s the thing… I don’t think it would save me any time and guards is a lot more expensive

[@chrisbeach44]

Fair point Spencer. Gardz is water based so dries quicker. We can’t get kils over here so I have no price comparison. Keep up with the good videos.

[@vitalivlas7877]

First think about your health before use an oil based primer 😊
