Thanks! I should probably have added that I didn't have access to a steamer then. I'll get one for the rest of my room (which may take awhile, since I'm switching rooms) and see how it works. I'll also try the wall scoring thing killerjackalope was talking about.

If you don't use a steamer (we never did and have done this in many houses) then very lightly score the walls with a knife of scraper edge before the initial wetting, just a big criss cross pattern, this makes the solution soak in much faster and a bit deeper, as long as you go lightly the paper will still come off whole aswell...

I just wanted to add I did this last year and I would recommend renting a steamer as well. It went much faster, much cleaner, and did not damage the walls. Like night and day between the chemical solution and steaming it off.
