Anaglypta
« on: February 10, 2016, 07:04:46 pm »
Ok, not really building but hope this is not too random. We have several rooms covered in this awful stuff. The plaster beneath is an unknown quantity but will indoubtedly need filling patching and sanding when we remove it. This is just a thought- has anyone tried an electric sander directly on the Anaglypta and, if so, with what result.

What about just knocking it all off and starting from scratch? 


Or skim over it.


I'd go for the former.


Good luck :)

We have successfully removed wood chip with a spiky roller that pierces right through the paper and then followed this with a steamer. I guess it would work with anaglypta as well.

We've done the spiked roller/steamer route and it worked but you get an awful crick in your neck.

You could dot and dab it - ie glue plasterboard to it.

If you wanted to insulate a bit you could batton it with an air gap and plasterboard it.

All depends on how blown the render/plaster is already.

Thats best method but shut doors windows and switch steamer on and let it fill room with steam.
Go to on of big diy stores and get a long handled scrapper that has a large  stanley like blade in it.
They are great comes off a treat without damaging wall too much.

Keep using steamer to fill room while you have a cuppa

Well, not sure how traditional a method this is but we began experimenting today. A  flat bone handled dinner knife (circa 1920 ) -and enthusiasm - worked the best and even with dry paper got under the surface and sliced the anaglypta from its packing paper. We have  already scaped away and cleared two  walls  (We have not quite worked out how we will attack the stairwell with a dinner knife!)

This works brilliantly for woodchip, but I've never tried it on anaglypta.

Mix up a bucket of wallpaper paste.  Spread liberally over wallpaper.  Allow to soak in for about 20 minutes.  Whole lot will just peel off in huge strips.
