Uh oh, something is amiss here, John! It is important to apply Rust-Oleum Zinsser DIF Gel Wallpaper Stripper with a spray or sponge, do not use a fine mist sprayer. Let the product sit for 15-20 minutes and then scrape off. If the top layer does not come up easily, score the surface with 10 holes per square inch and apply more gel. Allow DIF to penetrate for an additional 10-15 minutes.
