Water, not Gasoline



Finally found a solution to get the vinyl paper off the bathroom floor without resorting to gasoline and the fumes right next to the water heater pilot light. (An expert I found online said to use gasoline, but he looked like he'd been blowed up a few times, so I was leery.)

It's just water. I let it soak into the paper for five minutes or so, then scraped it off with a metal scraper. It's even getting the adhesive, which is the thing I was most concerned about.

Ultimate goal is to strip the paper off the floor and then level it, so I can put tile down. The leveling is to stop the stupid toilet from rocking back and forth when one sits on it.

Once the floor is done, I'll move on to other work in the bathroom to get it ready to convert into a Dr. Who-themed toidy.
