Default Wall Paper

Ok OOTers, here's a home improvement question:

I have used a steamer to remove some wallpaper I had up in a room. Of course, there is some glue left on the walls from the paper. I have tried DIF from Home Depot and a pole sander, with miserable results. I trew some vinegar and water onthe walls and found that this works best.

My question is if anyone knows the correct proportions vineger:water to mix for optimal results.

Welcome to my weekend in hell. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Isn't that the same stuff as DIF?

If it is, it doesn't work.

DIF is Goo Gone's bitch...

Also, don't apply to the wall directly. Apply to a rag and then rub the wall.

I actually tried this too. It works ok, but not nearly as good as the vinegar. It actually comes premixed in a concentrated solution.

It appears the best ratio is gonna be 1:1.
