Subject:      removing vinyl wall covering.
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"

I know this has been covered before, but I can't seem to find this in the
archives. I am trying to remove all of the original vinyl wall covering
(which is peeling and blistering) from my '83 Westy and replace it with a
fresh painted surface. Most of the vinyl has come off easily with a hair
dryer, but there are some very stubborn pieces that try to take wood with
them. Has anyone had success with a adhesive remover? I tried a sticker
remover, but it wont penetrate the vinyl. Thanks for any input.
