If you have looked at my June 5, 1944 post you can see my hardstand for my P-47/P 38 is made from drywall. My question is, Is there an easy way to get the paper off of the drywall? I still have the taxiway and the driveway (is this the right word?) to do.
Thanks
If you have a steamer that will get it off. If not you can lay a wet towel on it for a little while and the water will soak into the paper and make it easier to peal off. Do a couple tests first so you know how wet you can make the towel without soaking the inside of the drywall too much.
For future use, they make paperless drywall–but, not only is it more expensive, it does not have that surface texture papered drywall has.
Dave - I didn’t think about the steaming part.
Cap - I don’t worry about the texture. This is part of the same piece of drywall. But it was real pain you know where, also real messy. I did quite a bit of sanding on it
Thanks guys
Gotcha.
Then follow Dave’s idea. From my experience with wallpaper and the like, get a secondhand steam iron. An old tea towel wetted, then wrung out to near dry will help, too. Work the edges until you get the paper lifting up, then use a scraper to peel the res away.
