We have a hallway with very smooth lime plaster but it’s been wood chipped On top. The bottom was damp and the woodchip came off easily - but where it is dry it is impossible. Scoring / wetting / scraping isn’t doing the job.
the woodchip is from the 70s and the glue seems pretty strong… I think though straight on to white paint / maybe backing paper from the 30s.
the early 20th century lime plaster is excellent so I am V V V keen to preserve it. Hence hesitation to use a steamer.
what gels work best? Want to try some chemicals!
advice much appreciated
