None..
Care to explain why?None..
I said "I was thinking to scrape whatever I can scrape off (wainscotting adhesive and detached paint) and then apply Peel Away." So the Peel Away would only act against the leftover paint. Because there are so many coats of paint, just mechanically removing and repainting would look ugly.Am, will Peel remove that adhesive? Why have you not considered scraping what you can and just skim coating the walls?
huh?:huh:None..

From my previous experience, I think Peel Away is fairly simple. What scares me is needing to mechanically scrape off the old paint, which would be near impossible and certainly not be done without compromising the plaster substrate.[/quote]
Whatever you do, you are going to compromise the plaster. I think you would be better off doing it mechanically but what the heck do us painters know with probably 150 years of experience between us? You came asking a question and got answers and made up your'e mind. Use the stripper:whistling2:
Am, we're thinking along different lines here by the nature of our backgrounds. As a painter I would think of Peel Away for only two reasons, basically: to return a surface to its substrate look, like your brick wall, or if the paint system is failed down to the substrate, complete system failure, as on an old neglected house. Another use might be if old trim has been scraped and repainted over decades and looks akin to the contour of the dark side of the moon, but that's for an aesthetic reason and stripping is far more realistic than patching.
With what you have the thoughts of Peel wouldn't even come to mind. I wouldn't consider anything other than scraping the bulk of the adhesive off, using a sealing primer to lock it all down, applying a couple of skim coats, sanding and priming, and then two coats of finish. I've seen what you have, and worse, and the recommendations you're getting are so because that's what we would do in that situation. What type of Peel you would use and what effect it would have are as much as mystery to me as you, and if I were contemplating that usage I would be on the phone with Peel asking them what they thought. My purpose in life is to not make it any harder on me than it has to be.
