        Hi, guys, I need help quick! I have started to paint a room. It had wallpaper on the wall, that had been painted over, so I took a day to remove the wallpaper. I started to paint the walls and more wallpaper was underneath, so now all I have is a mess! Everytime I roll some paint, more wallpaper comes off with the roller. Is there anything I can do to prevent this? It took me about 2 hours to get about a 5x5 area done and it is a terrible job, looks awful! Please help quickly, I have company coming this weekend and thats where they will be sleeping. Thank you so much for any help you can give me.

        Maybe paint the walls with just water in your paint tray and keep removing the wall paper until it's all off.

        It's never a good idea to paint over wallpaper because you just make it harder to eventually get that wallpaper off.
