In my kitchen there is wallpaper, but this is not your typical thin hard to get off wallpaper. It is a thicker wallpaper that has textured vertical ridges and it seems peels off quite easily. It should come off in strips withouth much more than a scraper.
What I am curious about is steps after this.... I will need to go to HD or Menards and purchase some supplies for sure, what all will I need?
1) Best thing to put down to catch glue, debris, ect?
2) Best method to get off excess glue / possible wallpaper stuck to wall? -- sanding??
3) After wallpaper is off, and the wall is smooth, after sanding? Are there any steps prior to painting?
4) Do I need to prime? - If so, reommendations for type and brand?
5) Looking to do a light blue paint, recommendations for type and brand?
6) To me this seems like a straight forward job, any additional thoughts, suggestions or things I may be over looking?
Or we could bring the craft I miss most next to macrame plant hangers back...
Decoupage.
Gardz would be the perfect primer over anything, even over what's her name's faved liquid plaster/cheap hobby acrylic over fine furniture with no need for prep paint. Annie something stuff.
Since it offers no protection itself, anymore than raw plaster does, leftover Gardz would be perfect. I find myself actually saving tiny empty bottles that once had sterile saline in them.
I bet, if I put my mind to it. I could sell Gardz to crafting women for $14.38 a tiny bottle (so I could factor in new internet sales tax to make it an even $15 on their credit cards) if I packaged four bottles with a stir stick! People will buy anything on or shipped with a stick. I would have to rename the stuff though so will be thinking about that.
Send your extra Gardz to me with a funnel.
I will send you the address in Maryland or around Cape May, NJ to charge the FedEx bill.

Here are a couple updated pictures of the largest hole and the crack over the kitchen sink. This is after the second coat of compound - still a little wet in the picture.
Here is a couple of the living room - where there are cracks between the drywall above the doors and windows. This was after the first coat.
The patch looks good, but on the verticals I would recommend along the edges sand off some of the texture along the edge maybe at least a couple inches. Then apply your pre mixed, that will get rid of that edge of your patch that is so noticeable.
