ᐅ Would you recommend liquid textured wallpaper (paintable wallpaper)?

How can you remove liquid wallpaper from the wall?

So, the search function brought me here... it’s a bit old, but I’m going to hijack this thread for myself.

In our new house, it was decided to paint almost all rooms with this "nasty" liquid wallpaper. In the children’s room, my daughter wants to have a photo mural on one wall. Naturally, we started working on THAT one wall first. It’s dragging on, creating endless dust, and I’m about to lose it.
My internet research led me to a video where someone uses a steam device to remove the stuff quite effectively. Has anyone tried this? Or do you have any ultimate tips for me?

Is it possible to apply a textured plaster over this paint (in the other rooms)?

Steam probably won’t help much, since the liquid woodchip wallpaper I know is dispersion-based. You would then need to use paint strippers, which I wouldn’t recommend for amateurs. It’s better to get a drywall sander (sometimes called a pole sander) and sand as much as possible before filling.
But for a wall, it can certainly be done by hand, possibly by using a plaster scraper or a rasp designed for plaster.

Our painter sanded off the material. It was a huge mess and a lot of work.

So... a brief update. We managed to borrow a small steam cleaner and found that, at least on the "photo wallpaper wall," there was actually still some wallpaper underneath. From there, it got noticeably easier until we came across a layer of oil-based glue paint. We’re still unsuccessfully scraping at that part *laughs*.

Otherwise, using steam to lightly loosen things up is actually quite effective. The wood chips should be removed as well as possible, and after that, we’ll simply apply a standard textured wallpaper. We still have plenty of other tasks to work on.
