That's the way this stuff in the master bath is but it's just paper no cloth
feel at all. I think it's probably been on there at least 20 years. When we
removed the vanity mirror we were astonished to discover the paper had a
white background. For the nine years we've lived here we thought it had a
brownish-yellow background. No amount of scrubbing would get the paper white
again so off it comes. Still scraping the stuff, get about a square foot an
hour it seems. Have to be careful not to take the first layer of paper off
the wallboard backing. We should finish today though.
