Author Topic:   Border removal

I put up a border on a wall that had texture. I am now trying to remove it
I used DIF and it mostly came off but there are still some sections that
have fibers I can't get off. I am painting now and it really shows badly.
Please help!!
Thanks,
DeeDee

Hello Dee Dee,
It is hard to visualize what is happening there.
When I remove border I remove the vinyl
facing and than the backing usually can be wet
a couple times and removed. You may be able
to sand off the fiber you are referring to. If the wall
was a smooth surface you could skim coat some
spackle over as well.
Hope this helps,
John Aufiero
