You are right only use these steamers for difficult wallpaper removal, and do not hold it in the 1 spot for a long time

Thank you for you honest review

Thanks so much. I just bought this and used it with a paint scraper, as the directions said. Now I know to just use my fingers. The paper is 30 years old and is thick, so it's taking a lot longer to remove, even wallpaper remover wasn't great. I'm going to leave it on a bit longer and just pull away to paper.

Just used it on a very very stubborn and old wallpaper on my plasterboard. Tried everything first including wall paper stripping solutions. Had no choice. Then used the Wagner. It worked like a horse. Just be careful to not hold for too long when steaming plasterboard. Ive definitely wet my plasterboard so will give an extra day or so to dry before doing anything on it. Good video thx

Any caveats to using this on plaster walls with ancient wallpaper?

Ideally you want to score the wall paper first, with a wall paper scorer to allow the the steam to penetrate the wall paper versus applying steam directly on it.

I like what you said BUT, wallpaper is thin, eventually, steam sogs the fibers without scoring. If you’re too aggressive scoring, you scratch up the wall requiring repairs that many of my viewers can’t readily repair. So. I keep it black and white on my channel to make it easier for my viewers. Thank you.

Excellent video! I'm removing wallpaper that obviously didn't have the wall prepared before installation. It's more like a tattoo than a wallpaper and it's been giving me Hell. So I bought one of these steamers.

@@randomrazr Yes. It was a lot of work. But the steamer was effective. I had to do a strip about 12" square at a time. Some places were easier than others. It did save me from having to repair a lot of torn dry wall.

@@randomrazr Good question. Yes. I think that would have been a better solution. Probably faster too. But hindsight is 20/20. I don't have much dry wall experience. One things for sure. I would NEVER put up wallpaper. We moved and the new house has ZERO wallpaper which is great.

@@kevinmagee6450 i got a room with not one but TWO layers of wallpaper and im 70% sure the back wall is lathe and plaster. so debating whether to give the steamer a shot...or if its faster just to rip the wall down and slap some new dry wall up and look up mudding tutorials on youtube lol

I just bought one of these for some REALLY stubborn (hideous) wallpaper and man, I was dreading you were going to say that it was a waste of money. Now I feel much better. By the way, you missed your calling in life-you should've gone into acting. You're a cross between Schwarzenegger, Christopher Walken and Sergeant Carter. LOL!

Painter with 37yrs exp based in UK, never use steamers there too aggressive on plaster & can end up blowing & cracking it, i never use them as my method has never failed me, large scuttle bucket filled with hot bubbly water & a good emulsion roller mines a 12 inch purdy that holds lots of water when strippjng, only roll upwards as the water will sit on top & not go on the floor as it would rolling downwards, the bubbles will help to keep soaked as they sit on the surface, most papers today are easy peel but it's the older papers that become brittle that take longer , i always try first without soaking but if it just tears off in small bits then i just soak wait for it to absorb then go again, 2 to 3 times is normally enough, never fails

Wallpaper Hanger here in the USA with over 40 years hanging and stripping wallpaper. Ditch the paint roller and use a pump up garden sprayer faster and less mess. Works best with stripper additive for faster penetration. Also here in the USA most homes are drywall (plaster board) not the hard pink plaster in the U.K. Most wallpaper hung here is with a premix heavy solids paste (tub paste in the UK) compared to your cellulose and starch packet mix pastes which are far more watery and water soluble making them easier to strip than the pastes used in the USA. Personally I prefer wetting vs steaming but on those really tough ones steamers have their uses.

@@capodad2u stubboŕn ones yes a steamer may be needed, but i do it in steps 1,2, & 3, 1 being try without soaking first as when wet it becomes easy to tear & if old just tears in bits, most are easy peel nowadays & sometimes you can just peel clean off, 2, large scuttle of hot bubbly water & 99% of the time it comes off really easy, you just have to penetrate the backing, you can tear off a piece & see how much it's gone through, Sometimes just another soak can make all the difference, i jyst keep applying wait for it to soak & go again, as i said the bubbles sit on the surface to keep wet, i never have a problem this way & step 3 steamers i never have to do 👍
