anyone know if this would work over older wallpaper? We have been trying for 16 years to get this old nasty flowered wallpaper off the wall... tried fabric softener trick, heat trick, water soaks, sanding (top layer is kinda plasticized finish)... nothing works, and its pale yellow flowered in my SON's room ... he's not amused by my not being successful in removal!

If this starch trick would work over wallpaper if its cleaned first, I could give him his Pokemon wall he wants :shock:
...and might it work on flannel, too? Or would that be too thick? I see some use dec wt. fabrics? flannel isn't too much thicker
