Trying to remove ';PEEL-N-STICK'; wallpaper from latex painted drywall. Are there any solvents that work?

So far, no luck with the typical wallpaper methods. The adhesive seems bonded to the paint and either will not budge or takes the drywall paper too. I am hoping that there is a usable solvent to deal with the PEEL-N-STICK adhesive.Trying to remove ';PEEL-N-STICK'; wallpaper from latex painted drywall. Are there any solvents that work?
If it's sticking that well, why try to remove it?





Unless it is a shelf-paper type glossy surface, you should be able to scuff it up using sandpaper, cover it with an oil-base primer and paint over it. You may need to use a bit of putty to hide the seams, but - in most cases - although it's not the best, it is possible to paint over something that is adhering that well.Trying to remove ';PEEL-N-STICK'; wallpaper from latex painted drywall.

go to your rent-a-center get a professorial steamer and some good putty knives it takes time but it will come off
Grab a blow dryer and apply it to the wall paper, enough to soften the adhesive a little bit. Then in a spray bottle dilute GOO-GONE with water. Could get a little messy but it worked for me. You could find GOO-GONE at any grocery store or hardware store.
