Hi Paul, I am enjoying watching your videos for I am a first-time DIY. I have taken the 3 layer of wallpaper and paint on top of wallpaper off and now at the stage of sanding my walls back. I was told by a paint specialist that my walls are one of the worst he's come across. However the work has to be done so watching your videos is encouraging me that it can be done. So thank you for your videos

Hi Paul, I’m a DIYer from Puerto Rico, your video is great, thanks for this tutorial. I just removed a wallpaper with 2-3 coats of paint on it, but thankfully the wall doesn’t look as bad as the one in this vid. Tomorrow I’ll go buy Gardz since I had no idea that was the next step and that’s how I found you, after googling what should I do next. Question: how do I smooth the compund to a yogurt consistency if I bought the one that’s already mixed? I just found out our Home Depot doesn’t sell Gardz, can you suggest another equivalent product?

Thank you Paul Peck! I took out the wallpaper and several coats of paint on top of the wallpaper that had been in our guest bedroom since we moved there 25 yrs ago. By the time I got done my walls were a disaster. Since watching your video and you answering my question I was able to finish the guest bedroom and make it look fabulous. My husband was amazed! Thanks for saving me lots of money, I thought I was going to have to hire someone to fix my mess. I'm a 62 yr old female and I feel great being able to accomplish this big project! Couldn't have done it without following your video!

Excellent Video - thank you so much! I am a DIYer that is attempting skim coating after wallpaper removal for the first time. Don't think I could have mastered it without your video!

Hi Paul, Thanks for the videos. I'll be doing my first skim coat tomorrow. With the help of your videos and lessons, I definitely feel more confident going into the job; albeit after watching your videos over, and over again! Thanks for the tips. Much appreciated!

7th year painter here and I'm in awe at how easy you make this look. I'm watching for tips to use at work with large repair patches.

DIY'r here, with an 80's kitchen with walls that the wallpaper has peeled off of. Thanks for your videos! I am a senior on a fixed income, so being a do-it-yourself'r is critical if I want to fix or repair anything.

Bought my great aunts condo. Wallpaper every where. Going to give it a try using this video

Only 19 years old and learned a lot already from your videos going to be doing my grandma's uncles (my great uncles) 60 year old house who passed recently and I appreciate you for these.... Anything for the family🔥

I've begun working on my basement walls. Previous owners wallpapered walls, and I tore it off to get rid of mildew and mold. I gouged the walls in some areas, so imagine my excitement when I found you and learned how to correct my problem. Thank you so much for your videos.I think your expertise is going to help me do well on my project!!

DIY Homeowner - old wallpaper throughout house from 70’s - just removed from one bathroom - 4 rooms to go! First project by myself like this. Thank you for all this helpful advice!!! You make it look so easy- all the best pros do!

Hi Paul, DIYer here, remodeling my 1913 bungalow kitchen. Had a contractor raise the ceiling 2' in half of the area to match the other half, and I'm doing everything from the mudding and taping on out. I have new drywall butted against old drywall, plywood walls, and mdf - and NOTHING lines up nicely! Also, there were damaged areas where I removed tile. Gardz worked great there! About to skim coat, and your videos are giving me some much-needed encouragement!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! My boyfriend and I are working on renovating our 3,500 sq. ft 100-year-old farm home, we are diy-ing most of it. Your video is a life saver almost all of the rooms have wallpaper that needs to be removed so we appreciate the tip. Thanks again!

Thank you for the great tutorial! DIYer, working on a 1916 home. About 6 layers of wallpaper, over plaster, and with some very poorly done drywall patches in places too. There will be lots and lots of skim- coating 😆

DIY’er here, just stripped 5 layers of paper off of my spare bedroom walls to a similar mess that this wall is in, I didn’t really know what to Do with it and was contemplating hiring someone until a friend mentioned learning to skim on KZread and here I am, thanks for the knowledge and I’m looking forward to trying a few of these skills to fix it :)

As a DIY guy, this video is a huge help! I'm dealing with a bathroom wallpaper removal project, and now I know how to do it right!

I have worked in construction all my life I’m big on DIY. Mostly remodeling work small companies. Finally a video that’s to the point without all the hoopla keep it up

Thank you Paul. I am re-doing a drywall in an upstairs bathroom that had vinyl wallpaper on it for 30 years. It came off and cleaned up pretty well on the wall it’s not too bad but everything you showed me will make it better. I am retired but I build custom fine hardwood furniture. Because of your videos I will be doing some drywalling thank you again.

Great tutorials. Thank you! I’m a DIYer who recently renovated a small house from start to finish. A lot of what I had to do was new to me including plastering. Some of the locals watched the whole process from start to finish and one of them recently asked me to renovate a small room for her. I can live with a few imperfections in my own home but doing the work for someone else takes it up a notch. Your wallpaper nightmare vid was a huge help as it pretty much matched what I was dealing with. Skim coating the wall is next so I’ll be going through more of your vids. Thanks for making them available.

Thank you! I’m a DIYer who moved into a home with wallpaper that was painted over. The dry wall was destroyed taking the wallpaper off, and this video was fantastic help!

Thank you for tips. I used pro 999 to cover after wallpaper removed, worked great! Skim coat is tough as beginner but I'm stoked to finish my job with the tips you gave!

DIYer and my walls look worse after removing wallpaper. Thanks for the video. It gives me an ounce of hope, especially the order in which to proceed. The brown paper exposed areas is what I have been worrying about. Thank you!

Dawg!!! You make it look so dam easy!!! I come back and watch from time to time to up my game...I have plaster walls..I have done 2 coats of mud going thicker..after sanding and smoothing I'm on to skim coat layer 1 and 2!!! I'm glad to revisit I always get something out of it! I am a youtube DIY graduate of kindergarten class...thanks for putting your skills out in the universe for the laymen, much appreciated.

Thank you for this video, Paul. I’m a DIYer, who did this 20 years ago in a room in my house. Wish I had your tutelage then. Lovely job here, you are an artist

Thank you, thank you, thank you Paul. After watching all your videos I’ve removed my popcorn ceiling (safe), patched many holes in the drywall, Guardz my walls, skim coated everything, knock downed the ceiling and orange peeled the walls in the entire house AND everything looks fabulous! I’m sure a professional would probably find mistakes but I’m proud of what I did and like I said it looks great to me. Will be putting primer and paint on this weekend and looking forward to the end results. Can’t wait for your next video!

I’m working on a bathroom wallpaper removal right now! Also about 30 years old, and gross. Fortunately the walls are in mostly excellent shape, since they had been painted with semigloss paint prior to the wallpaper. I just have to get the old adhesive off and repair a few very small areas where the wallpaper pulled off a little too much wall.

Hey Paul, Thanks so much for these videos. I am an independent remodeling contractor and have been for about thirty years. I've done lots of full on turnkey remodeling projects and do 90% of the work myself but always avoided major drywall repair jobs and wallpaper nightmare repairs because... well I'm kind of slow and until recently not real proficient at drywall finishing. But, 4 months ago I started watching your videos and immediately began improving. I am currently on a project in which the client has requested that the popcorn ceiling be removed. After watching your skim coating videos I feel confident that I can give them a smooth ceiling and leave them well satisfied. I will let you know how it turns out. Thanks again!

Thanks Paul the content! I’m currently working on a bathroom and master bedroom remodel. Both rooms had floor to ceiling wall paper. Let’s just say it’s been a learning process on how to removal it the best without causing too much damage. This video is really helpful.

DIY with several yrs of remodeling/maintenance experience. Got a project with wallpaper removal and doing some research as the drywall paper got torn in a few spots. Thanks for the detailed overview on this!

I can't tell you how thankful I am for this video. The previous owners of this home not only did a terrible job with the addition to the house but they did a terrible job with the drywall, placing the wallpaper, removal of wallpaper, and then another bad wallpaper job on top of that. It's a nightmare. Just purchased the guardz primer, sanded down some areas, and removed excess wallpaper. I am a DIYer but know more about plumbing (daughter of a plumber) so this is all somewhat new to me. I have had enough experience to know that the job the previous owners did was a "diy don't"! LOL! Thanks to you I know how to overcome this little hiccup and I hope it works so I don't have to replace the drywall.

Paul, I'm a DYI'er, thanks for the videos! I recently removed wallpaper from a bathroom and your tutorials are giving me the confidence I need to repair the walls. Once I remove the wallpaper from behind the commode tank (without removing it), I'll be ready to do the repairs and paint.

I’m working on skim coating our 2 bathrooms. You make it look so easy, but I understand you have lots of experience. To anyone that’s never skim coated before, go into the project with patience. Understand your first few walls will not be perfect, take your time, and start with the smallest wall. Thank you for the videos

Hi, thanks for the tips, i learned a lot. Im a diyer trying to become a good handyman, you are pretty slick with that knife, congrats and thanks again for the lesson.

I tried skimming over bare brown paper last year and it was a disaster, it does bubble like crazy. Took me 4 layers of drying and sanding over a few days to finally get it under control. Then I saw one of your earlier videos about using Gardz. anyone who says the paper won't bubble is lying.

You can use mud like this on some paper and it soaks up the moisture and pull right off when before it was impossible to pull off… or skim like this then spray knock down

I am 100% new at this. I figured out on my own how to use my clothes steamer to remove the wallpaper from the walls of my small bathroom. I found you to show me what to do next before painting. My walls are a mess but now I know how to get them smooth. Thanks!!

I'm in the process of fixing some holes left behind when I removed a couple of towel bars, mirror and light fixture based on what I've learned from your videos and See Jane Drill 😏. I have the Guardz sealer, got my mud pan, taping knives (6", 10", 12"), joint paper tape (corners have to be redone), sand paper. My next step is to seal the torn drywall paper and on to skim coating the ceiling and walls. Wish me luck, fingers crossed I don't make a complete screw up in there. Thank goodness I have a second bathroom lol. Thanks for your videos, I've learned a lot.

DIYer, working on my first rental house. Had to pull down wallpaper in the master bedroom, master bath, hallway bath, and kitchen. Wall paper was originally put directly on the drywall with no primer. Even with my best efforts it tore the drywall paper up. I used the gardz to seal it and was looking on some good instruction on what to use and how to do the skim coat. Thanks for taking the time to put up this video.

Hello I’m a DIYer/ Handyman, just pulled some bad wallpaper in a mobile home unit, about to clean up brown paper and seal.... your video is going to be very helpful for my next steps , Thank you for posting it ... very informative for me upping my drywall game

Great video. I just started a Powder Room remodel which had wallpaper installed 35 years ago. I used a steamer with good success in removing the wallpaper but I also experienced some top layer of drywall tearing. I’ve cleaned up the loose paper. Then started to fill in the divots with White Spackle and then bought Kiltz to seal the speckled areas. I’ve made good progress. But I am glad that I found your video and I will now skim coat the walls. I am sure this will give me a better end result and reduce the amount of sanding I was expecting to do. Thanks

Your tip about lighting is so true. I am remodeling a house that had that Mediterranean texture. I had to get rid of all of that, and flatten out the walls. Then more sanding. I found that lighting the work area with a light focused on my area, worked really well. If I didn't move the light with me as I went, I would end up too far from it, and it showed later. Live and learn. You have had 20 yrs to get your walls looking like that, and they are great. I have never done it, or corners. I learned how to make it end up looking like yours, but the effort I put in was way more than yours. Thanks for the tips and video.

Just took the wallpaper off in my bathroom and outer room..found original wallpaper under it from the contractor. They put it directly on the drywall. I steamed it off but there will be repair work needed so really appreciate your video!!

Thankyou! We just purchased a home it was completely covered with wallpaper from 70s. This video is going to really help us fix our walls.

You make it look so easy. Thanks for the tips . I’ll try them . I do carpentry work ( mostly finish work ) . I’m currently removing wallpaper and trying to redo the walls in my own bathroom. Drywall is something I don’t Love doing, but I get stuck doing drywall repairs at work a lot and now I’m doing it at home . I figure I might as well get better at it so I don’t dread doing it 🤣🤣🤣. I can make it look beautiful, but it takes forever. Hope your tips make it go faster for me . I hate bubbles and knife marks . I’ll have it looking perfect, then try one more time and ruin it . My dad was amazing at drywall. He’s retired now . He made it look easy too . Thank you 😊

Thank you for this video! Have a horrible wallpaper removal job in my bathroom, took it down to the paper and looks much like the wall you show here, I figured it needed a skim coat so I searched KZread and came across this. I'll be sure to pick up some gardz too!

So glad I came across this channel. We are pulling off chair rail and the wallpaper that was below the chair rail over the Christmas break. 100% a DIY person, mostly in woodworking but now I gotta do a little bit of drywall work ;) This video will help for sure. Great explanation!

I’m a professional wallpaper hanger. I usually scoff at a lot of these videos, but you’re spot on. Some kind of sealer to seal the damaged places in the drywall is very important. I really feel that frequently do it your selfers cause themselves much pain when they basically destroy the wall while being determined that the paper must come off. If it is smooth and tight it may be better to go over the paper rather than doing all that damage. The worse tool is the paper tiger. It really does a lot of damage. Thank you for a well informed video

DIYer here, already did one bathroom in our new house and somehow didn't mess it up, but this video is gonna make the second bathroom so much easier. I imagine the walls will be way smoother this time, thank you for the video!

I have removed the wallpaper, sanded and applied the Gardz. My husband and I are going to tackle the skim coating today. I’m very thankful to have this video as a source! Keeping my fingers crossed that we do a good job!

This will make skim coating a lot easier for you: kzread.info/dash/bejne/n459xKOiiLKZn5c.html Good luck and let me know how it goes. 👍🏻 Thanks so much for watching and commenting.😎 -Paul

Thanks for the tips. I am a DYI homeowner and working on a half-bath. I removed the wall paper today and will start my first ever mud skim coat job. You make it look simple, I am sure the technique gets better with time. I will post before and after photos. #drywalltube

I’m a beginner diyer. Thank you for this video! I royally messed up a couple of sections of my kitchen wall trying to remove wallpaper. I’m going to use your tips and fix the mess up and paint over the rest.

I'm a painter and real estate agent. A lot of times I have to fix drywall and it is hard. Great video, thanks.

Just brought my first home after renting for 20yrs, forgotten how to do all of this basic stuff and now I've got 3 floors of wallpaper to remove and walls to repair! Thank god for your videos i was actually in despair yesterday when i took the wallpaper off in the living room, this gives me hope!

Avid diyer here, and have always avoided major drywall repairs other than quick patches. Recently purchased a 1962 home that had multiple layers of wallpaper. After removing everything I found wall patches from previous renovations and none of the texture matched. After repairing anchor holes, screw holes and other damage, the walls looked like Swiss cheese - and I was about to call a Drywaller to skim coat the whole thing when I found your videos. I decided to try it myself - it’s not like I could make them any worse! 1 12” knife and pan and 6” taping knife, a couple of buckets all purpose joint compound and a 3/4” masonry roller (all in about $75) and a couple of afternoons of my time - my walls look absolutely gorgeous. Perfectly smooth (even with an eggshell paint!) they look better than any repair I’ve paid for in the past! Thanks for the great videos!!

Great video, I am a house painter, but am remodeling my bathroom. The worst wallpaper I've come across, in fact, I and my partner quit taking jobs involving wallpaper removal. Thank you so much for this video, I'd say you cut 80% off my repair time. I've used various Zinsser products, but I will find that Gardz somewhere. I also added some led lights which saved me a lot of time on the painting of my high ceiling walls with knockdown texture. Thanks again for the excellent, well-done videos.

Thank you so much. We owned rentals for 23 years and did all our own repairs. We might flip a home if they sell it to us and their is wall paper in just about every room. I’m figuring the budget and time. My brothers are construction workers and I can summon their assistance if needed. Your video was extremely helpful.

Applied my Gaurdz yesterday and going to start the skim coat today. Man i hope mine turns out as well as yours. I can tape and mud but Im far from a professional. Thanks for the video. I learned alot.
