The oval scoring tool features a no-slip, soft grip handle and four hardened stainless steel blades. These blades are perfectly angled to perforate wallpaper, creating small holes that allow the remover solution to penetrate the wallpaper and reach the adhesive layer more effectively.

- Mix 6 ounces of the ROMAN PRO-466 Wallpaper & Paste Remover Concentrate with 1 gallon of hot tap water (120°F).
- The 32 oz bottle of concentrate yields a total of 5 gallons of remover solution.

Operating Instructions: Wallpaper Removal Process
Follow these steps for effective wallpaper removal:
Step 1: Score the Wallpaper
Using the ROMAN Perforating Scoring Tool, gently perforate the wallpaper. This creates small holes that allow the remover solution to penetrate and break down the paste. Apply light pressure only to avoid damaging the wall surface underneath the wallpaper.
Step 2: Apply Remover Solution
Apply the mixed remover solution to the scored wallpaper. A low-pressure, low-atomization sprayer (such as a garden sprayer) is recommended for application. The remover can also be sponged on. Allow the solution to soak into the wallcovering for a minimum of 15 minutes. Test a small area for removability; re-saturate if needed.
Step 3: Scrape the Wallpaper
Begin scraping from the ceiling down, using the ROMAN Angled Scraper to remove the wallpaper from the wall. Re-apply remover as needed to keep the wallpaper moist. After the wallpaper has been removed, rinse the wall with clean water and allow the wall surface to dry thoroughly before painting or installing new wallpaper.
Maintenance
To ensure the longevity of your tools and the effectiveness of the product:
- Tool Cleaning: After each use, thoroughly clean the scoring tool and scraper with warm water to remove any wallpaper residue or adhesive. Dry them completely before storage to prevent rust on metal parts.
- Concentrate Storage: Store the unused concentrate in its original sealed container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
If you encounter difficulties during the wallpaper removal process, consider the following:
- Stubborn Wallpaper: If wallpaper is not coming off easily, ensure it has been adequately scored. Re-apply the remover solution and allow for a longer soaking time (e.g., 20-30 minutes) to allow the solution to fully penetrate the adhesive.
- Residual Paste: After removing the wallpaper, if residual paste remains on the wall, apply the remover solution directly to the paste. Allow it to soften, then scrape it away. Rinse the wall thoroughly with clean water afterward.
- Tool Effectiveness: Ensure the scoring tool blades are clean and sharp. If the scraper is not effectively lifting paper, check for any debris obstructing the blade or roller.
