Technical Data Bulletin

Recommended Uses

DIF Fast-Acting LIQUID can be used to strip most types of wallpapers that cannot be effectively peeled or dry-stripped

from the walls. These include: traditional paper wallpapers, vinyl coated papers, paper-backed vinyl wallpapers, solid vinyl

wallpapers, foils, mylars, grasscloth, textiles and even painted wallpapers. (Borders – see section – Removal of wallpaper

borders.)

Application Data

Determining Where to Begin Removal

The type of wallpaper will determine where to begin the removal process. Grasp a seam or an edge of the wallpaper and try to peel it

off. Remove any layer that will peel off first and then apply DIF Fast-Acting LIQUID to the remaining backing paper or residual

adhesive. Stop if attempts to dry strip the existing wallpaper fail or result in damage to the drywall, and refer to the instructions below

for removal of specific types of wallpaper.

• Traditional Paper Wallpaper

Traditional paper wallpaper is uncoated, porous and will absorb removers readily. No further preparation is necessary before

applying DIF Fast-Acting LIQUID.

• Coated Wallpaper

If wallpaper is a washable type (generally a standard paper that is coated with a vinyl or acrylic coating) score* the surface using

the ZINSSER PaperTiger

scoring tool to enhance DIF Fast-Acting LIQUID penetration. Score the wallpaper from the ceiling to the

floor, using just enough force to break through the surface of the wallpaper.

• Painted Wallpaper

If the wallpaper has been painted over, score the surface thoroughly using the PaperTiger scoring tool.

• Vinyl Wallpaper

Most vinyl wallpapers are either peelable (the top layer can be removed, leaving the paper backing behind) or strippable (the

entire sheet of wallpaper can be removed, leaving only adhesive residue behind). Always try to peel or strip the wallpaper first and

apply DIF Fast-Acting LIQUID to the paper backing or adhesive residue. If the vinyl wallpaper cannot be peeled or stripped off, score

the surface thoroughly with the PaperTiger before applying DIF Fast-Acting LIQUID.

• Foil, Mylars, and Other Sealed Wallpapers

Thoroughly score the surface with the PaperTiger before applying DIF Fast-Acting LIQUID.

• Textiles

If textile has been installed directly over adhesive, simply apply DIF Fast-Acting LIQUID. Some textiles need their surface scored

with the PaperTiger.

• Multiple Layers of Wallpaper

It may be necessary to remove the wallpaper one layer at a time since multiple layers can resist full penetration of the scoring tool.

*When using the PaperTiger, apply only enough pressure to penetrate the wallpaper to avoid damaging the drywall. The

more holes the better. If unsure, test a small area before proceeding.
