52016 Wallpaper Scraping Tool Scraper: Sticky Paste, Multi-Purpose Removal

I previously used just a putty knife and some crappy Sherwin Williams spray. It ruined my walls and underlying drywall. I used this instead, and it is AMAZING. SOOO much faster! and cleaner! and easier to use! It doesn't make it a breeze, as it's still labor intensive, but this does make it 1000x easier. Definitely worth the money. Highly recommend the spray by the same company as well. Don't remove wallpaper without this!

Great tool, worked well just don’t scrape too hard, it will gouge your sheet rock.

Worked ok, a bit flimsy but made it through the job

I'll start by saying that my project didn't involve multiple layers of wallpaper, just one (thankfully).I've removed wallpaper a few times from plastered and primed drywall surfaces using different methods (scoring tool, steamer, commercial spray to dissolve glue, etc.). Some methods/products were over the top aggressive and too messy. For this project, I wanted to keep things simple and followed the directions provided in a video by a Canadian contractor, which can be found on a well known site. I only used 3 products: warm water and ordered this wallpaper scraping tool and a yellow contractor sponge from Amazon.To start, I put on disposable gloves, covered the floor with a plastic drop cloth to control the mess, filled a bucket with warm water, dipped the sponge in it, squeezed out the excess water, then ran the sponge over the wallpapered area I was working on. I waited a few minutes to allow it to soak in and soften the outer layer enough to begin peeling it. Once I removed the top layer, I repeated the process over the paper to allow the glue to soften. Again, let it sit a few minutes, then I was able to peel off the remaining paper with ease. I also used the scraper to remove excess glue. The trick here is to be patient; if the paper doesn't release from the wall, then run the wet sponge over it again and again. Remember to use a light hand to avoid damaging the wall surface. All I have left to do now is wipe down the walls one final time to remove any glue residue.This was by far the easiest wallpaper removal project I've ever done and the scraping tool made it easier. I used the metal edge of the tool for most of it, didn't find the plastic/dull side all that useful for my project.

Used this scraper to remove the adhesive layer of wallpaper. I was previously using a putty spatula & wanted something with a better handle and grip. I like the non metal side of this scraper because it allowed me to remove the layer of paper once it was saturated with the stripper. However, whenever I needed to start a new row to strip, I would need something that had more of a sharp edge to get underneath the paper. The metal (sharp) side of this product was not very effective. It’s too short and has no flexibility to it so it easily scrapes and damages that wall if you’re not careful. It is also not very durable. It would never scrape a full strip with even pressure. I wish I would’ve returned it but I had already started using it and the metal started to immediately rust from the water and stripper solution. I also bought the stripper solution from this brand. It worked well and I recommend it.

Working on my third room of very old wallpaper removal. The latest one is decades old and must have been the apply your own paste as it is very thick. I needed a better tool for the final 'glue' removal. Tried this and it's working great. One of the best features is the padded handle, and having two ends helps prevent a tendency to angle too much and gouge the drywall. This is my go to tool from now on.

This works amazing! It helps control the pressure on the wall and prevents damage to the wall during the wallpaper removal.

This tool is a lifesaver. It is so easy to use and great to scrape wallpaper off. It is the perfect shape to fit nicely in your hand and to scrape. I tried a flat scraper and it was way harder to use and was digging into the drywall. I went out and bought another one of these because I liked it so much!
