Question 9

We have old wallpaper to remove. Just spoke with Joel and he recommended this product. I now see that some older reviews mention that the product is not very viscous and that it's difficult to use on vertical surfaces. Is that still true for the latest, current version of the product? If the product is painted on the walls, with regular paint brush or roller, will it stay on long enough to do the job? View answer

Question 33

Do you ship to Canada? I have lead paint on my basement concrete and the workers used Blue Bear Mastic cleaner which I thought was the wrong product and then Klean Strip in some spots and then Blue Bear Coating Remover which was what I thought they were using initially and worked the best by far. They used water wash in between the different products. It still smells very bad after a week even with negative air pressure machine. I'm very sensitive. Help? I think they need a degreaser to properly clean View answer
