just venting my frustration. every method to strip decades of latex paint (not sure what else is mixed in under there) off my old 1" thick plaster walls has failed, so i'm just going to skim coat everything - fuk it. just bummed such a common problem has no reliable solution (trust me, i've tried them all... pastes, sprays, deglazer, peel paper, googone, krudcutter, citrus. heat gun, steam, scrapers). someone told me i should blame it on OSHA because your grandfather's toxic paint removers were a lot more effective than all the "safe and natural" stuff they sell now...
