Using the wallpaper stripper
Check the state of your plaster before you start work
u
as high temperature steam can loosen weak, porous or
poorly bonded plaster. Plaster is also loosened more
readily in areas of cracks, holes or if the steam plate is
held in one position for too long.
You may be able to detect if you have weak plaster by
u
tapping a few areas of the walls with your knuckles. If this
produces a hollow sound, we recommend proceeding only
with extreme care.
In all cases test out the wallpaper stripper on a small area,
u
about 100 cm
, before starting work properly.
2
If at any stage finishing plaster is loosened or you hear a
u
crack, do not continue. The wallpaper stripper is safe for
drywall/plaster board surfaces.
Due to the heat generated by this product, it is possible
u
that certain surfaces, ie. carpets, soft furniture, table tops,
cabinets etc., could be marked or damaged. To prevent
this, ensure a wooden board or other barrier is placed
under the boiler to prevent the heat damaging the surface.
Dust sheets or newspapers are not adequate for this
purpose.
