Need help with painting walls

[ynot167]

To make the story short...

Bought house...took wallpaper off...walls have raised squiggly glue marks and some sand paint.

What is the best way to clean the walls prior to priming and painting???

Remove Old Adhesive: Use a heavy-duty detergent, such as trisodium phosphate (TSP) and a sponge to remove the excess adhesive from the walls. Some areas may restrict trisodium phosphate, so you can use its nonphosphate equivalent. Your hardware store can help you find the right one. Rinse the walls using a clean sponge. Do not wallpaper or paint over the walls until they are completely dry.

Sand comes off with a wide drywall knife, but it's not fun.

Thanks...but the glue is from paneling I believe...also some parts have sanded paint.

Man, if you have paneling glue you are screwed.

Start studying how to drywall if you want nice walls.
