Product Description
Zinsser 2976 PaperTiger Scoring Tool for Wallpaper Removal Triple Head
From the Manufacturer
PAPERTIGER Wallcovering Scoring Tool perforates waterproof wallcoverings so remover solution can penetrate and resolubilize paste. PAPERTIGER's patented scoring disks open surface holes to let DIF penetrate and attack the paste. In 1985, Zinsser introduced a tool that answered the need for a better way to perforate waterproof wallcoverings. This wallcovering tool, called PAPERTIGER, was as revolutionary an advance in its field as DIF was in remover solutions. With PAPERTIGER, scoring became faster, easier and safer for both worker and wall.

Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2020
Did a bit of research and that's when I discovered Zinsser had the Triple Head Paper Tiger scoring tool,for sale through Amazon; so I ordered it. Put it to work right after receiving it, to score more wallpaper.
Oh my goodness! It was a HUGE improvement, in my opinion. I could score a large area of wallpaper without getting tired, as it covered so much more area with each pass, so to speak. I already knew to keep the pressure light and steady, so have never had any issues with harming the drywall.
By the way, I realize there are different kinds of wallpaper, and some come off easier than others. Mine is from the late 70's or early 80's, and after some trial and error, this method worked best for me: I used a clean paint brush to apply hot water to the top layer, quickly followed with some DIF gel wallpaper remover, applied with a small foam roller (DIF alone didn't seem to work that well). After waiting about 15 minutes, I could usually get off most or all of the top layer.
Then I applied a bit more water to the under layer, and carefully scraped it all off. For me, a Zinsser scraper has never worked well; always felt awkward. However, I have great results with a small flexible putty knife, works great.
