Pretty much. I do a quick wipe wet it with water and a little dish soap really helps break that glue down. Then wipe with clean water and dry towel gets all that glue off. Then either good primer+paint or primer then paint. House i bought lady looooved wall paper lol
I took the paper down and the glue is dry as can be. Not tacky at all. Should I still remove the glue or can I get a good primer from Kills and just prime it?
Yes I would take a hot bucket of water and a sponge and wipe the glue off if you don't it could have a chemical reaction with the paint not adhering properly. It's quick and easy to do.just wipe the walls with a sponge and hot water.
You never made the follow-up? I didn't find it anyway.. my bathroom wallpaper was from the 60s and I believe was put up with paste. Hot water doesn't seem to dissolve it easily like you are doing here. Do I need a different tactic or just keep at it again with hot water? Thanks!!
After I removed the wallpaper (took me literally less than a minute, pieces came out by themselves) the whole wall was covered with green goo (glue?) How do I remove it? I tried water, soap, vinegar, hydrogen peroxide, none of it works.
I have never seen green glue should be clear or white not sure but sounds like who ever put the paper on used the wrong product. It should wipe off with a dense sponge and hot water.
@@nitrokyosho looks like a kid painted the wall with a watery green color and it's completely removed from the actual wallpaper which itself comes off easily.
I like to use kilz stain blocker primer water based before painting also I use a pre mix dap spackle to fix any wall imperfections can be applied with a putty knife.
Thank you so much I am planing to paint over the wall so is there another step to paint over it or once i take the glue off in this manner i can just go ahead fill up the holes and paint?
Hi, thank you for the video. I'd seen another video similar to yours where the person used a wet sponge and I started doing it with that. The paper doesn't come off as easily a it did in your video or theirs. It almost shredded when I did it. I know it could be my technique, but could it be due to how they applied the paper? Could it be because I didn't use hot water?
After wetting the paper, let it soak for 10/20 mins before peeling it off. I personally soak the entire wall at a time, while one wall is soaking I go back to the previous wall and remove the paper. Believe me the whole row will come of in one pull, just like cutting softened butter☺️. You have to be patient. Try it and let me know if it worked for you. You may have some tiny pieces in the corners that might need a plastic spatula to loosen it out.
Thank you for the video! Hopefully an easy quick question. When can one sleep in the room after the wallpaper has been removed and the walls have been wiped down? Do you have to prime it first?
You can sleep in the room immediately there's no health hazard danger, I use water based kilz primer low odor I slept in the room after painting same day. I Also use behr paint water based low odor.
Hi..I need help! I have just removed some VERY old paper…but I have a lot of old, yellow, hardened glue left over. I don’t think your water will do a thing. Any better ideas? Ty!
Get a steam machine there cheap at home depot $60.00 the steam will melt the glue then wipe it Wagner 725 Wallpaper Steamer 2418627 - The Home Depot www.homedepot.com/p/Wagner-725-Wallpaper-Steamer-2418627/316606367
Watched your vid, hoping for some short-cuts as I have about 60ft of wall to prep. Major issue I am having is at many doorways plastic corners were applied with contact cement to protect the wallpaper edges. How do I remove this OLD contact cement stuck on walls to paint over?
Is there anything different to do if I have a wall that had wallpaper but was painted before the glue residue was taken off? I have a small bathroom I want to repaint but you can see glue residue under the current paint.
please i need to know the next step make another video!!!!
Thank you so much, I did what you said to remove my old wallpaper on my plaster wall. Worked great!
Thank you glad to hear
I used this process, went over couple times, the walls are squeaky clean. Ready to paint. Thank you for sharing this video. God bless.
Glad to help friend

What is the ratio of vinegar to water?
He’s only using HOT water, no vinegar.

Thank you for this video!!! Who knew??? You wouldn’t believe how long I’ve been putting this off!!!
Glad to help my friend
Great video for a simple approach. Am sure your next video will suggest to prime the walls to seal any glue residues. Thanks again
Will this work if the wall was never painted underneath and it's basically untreated sheetrock?
Yes the demo I'm doing it on is a wall that was never painted

Yes

Hey Ray, thank you for the video and the information. it is very helpful.

Is the process the same for a chipboard wall? I'm afraid the glue inside the chipboard will disolve!
I would give it a try

I would try to sand it down to get rid of it
So what the next step guys? help me pls
Now patch any wall imperfections then prime with kilz water base primer and paint
Will this work on wood?
Yes
LOVE LOVE LOVE your videos Thank you!!!!
Thank you buddy and thanks for watching
Where's the next video after this ?
Thanks
Glad to help friend
Thank you for the help :)
Glad to help
Is there anything different to do if I have a wall that had wallpaper but was painted before the glue residue was taken off? I have a small bathroom I want to repaint but you can see glue residue under the current paint.
The only way to fix that is to sand the walls smooth
Hi sir thanks for the video but what’s the name to that sponge?
Does this washing process work on dry wall, or will this ruin the wall?
This video is being done on dry wall
My glue is mega thick. I have repeated four times and still have the glue on the cement wall .
I would try using a 3 inch putty knife after the glue is activated and use it to gently scrap the glue off the wall
Can I use fiber cloths?
I use a sponge but give it a try
Where's part two?
The next step is to spackle any damage on the wall prime and paint it and you're done
Awesome! It is working!
Glad to help
What type of primer would you use for this oil base or just standard?
I use Kilz white stain blocker paint water based, no one uses oil based any more in home's
These are great but what's the next step?! Thanks!
Fix any wall defects with some spackle then prime and paint
