Post Your Answer To The Question Above: Name: Your Answer: Name: tiera interiors | Date: November 7, 2004, 8:46 pm | Answer: After peeling wallpaper, you must have a shart flat object like a spatchular that will scrap the excess paper. Then you must take sand paper and sand that area so it can be smooth for repainting. You can check out home depot or lowes for type of solutions that can assist you. Name: Rachel | Date: December 29, 2004, 10:40 am | Answer: You must remove wallpaper glue before painting. If you have already painted over the glue as it sounds in your posting and the paint was latex you can still remove the glue using a wallpaper paste remover such as DIF or TSP. You will then need to prime the walls and repaint. Name: Debbie | Date: May 15, 2007, 10:00 am | Answer: Can the walls with the residual wallpaper glue be primed then painted? Does the glue always have to be removed??
