pee,should the water be hot? I've been using cold,I'm also using washing up liquid in the water.

I've scraped jesus away,anyway I dont think people are intrested in him anymore,he seems to be turning up everywhere.MJ is the new missiah.

p!ssing my sides noway, all hail MJ (with stones) lols.

Yes my dear noway, as hot as your hands can take it. This should work a lot quicker for you know. Let me know how you get on.

This sounds weird but it works. Score the paper then soak it with hot water with fabric softener in it. Let it soak in for about 15 minutes or more,,,then strip.

Anyway i've giving up for today, need a shower now and a nap after all that.Stew,I will give the fabric conditioner tomorrow.Thanks

The important things are the scoring and the soaking for at least 15 minutes..

Hi pee, yeah I did about 6 hours yesterday,and only half-way there.It's only a small room about 5f x 5.

I thought it would be about a 2 hour job,looks like it might be a 2 week one.
