the wallpaper in our dining room was 2 layers thick. The 1st layer and it's backing came off easily, but the layer underneath seems to be glued to the drywall without backing. It is taking forever to remove it. We have scored it and are using "dif" but we can only peel small pieces at a time. HELP!!

Sorry to hear about your luck. Review this thread (http://forum.doityourself.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=116896) about wallpaper stipping advice as it may help. If in the end, it refuses to come off, you can follow the advice for painting wallpaper to assist as well.
