pay someone else to do it :lol:
Jarvis, my handyman at my Somerset estate, says you need to score it with a Stanley knife before you soak it, Mary. That should help the water penetrate and the paper should lift away much more easily.

Ive already attacked the ceilin with stanley blades….. steel wool brush….. i swear they don’t make paste like this stuff… the actuall woodchip chips are fallin aff….. but the brown backin… JMMOG……
ask Jarvis any other suggestions please…
