“Used on 25 year old very thick artex”

written by Malikj146 on 14/01/2015

Having decided to remove all our artex from our hallways I thought I would give X-tex a go. To be perfectly honest I am astonished at the results. If applied in the correct manner (As recommended on tub) and sufficient time left after application the artex comes off a treat. I use both a 4" razor tipped and a double handed 6" razor tipped scraper to do the work and providing you keep the blade at a shallow angle the stuff flies off. Put it this way, I managed to get about 250 ft sq done in about four to five hours, including application and soaking time . Our artex was a very heavy bark effect and after a bit of trial and error found that a soak time of about 90 minutes was ideal. As easy as stripping some wallpapers .The hallway will be replastered afterwards so a wash down will be done to eliminate any residue . If users have had bad experiences I can only guess they may not have used sufficient gel or possibly not given it enough time so soak in. Anywhoo, it certainly works for me. Just a pity it is not available in 10 litre tubs :)
