Hello siszone, I'll pass on how I take off the paper that I remove. Mix DIF wallpaper stripper by Zinsser with water in a pump up lawn and garden sprayer, spray until soaked repeating every few minutes, after a period of time the front of vinyl coated paper should begin to come off by pulling sheets from edges, once front is off wet backing until it will come off also. I always like to do this process on one sheet of paper to begin with because if it will not come off there is no need destroying more wall than is behind one sheet. There are cases where paper will not come off without doing a great deal of damage to drywall......Mike
