Hi,

I just bought an apartment in Spain - its a nice place, but one or two of the rooms have walls with that lumpy, chipboard effect. Little tiny rectangles that were in style in the 80´s! It doesnt seem to be wallpaper.

In order to get rid of this effect does anybody know if I have re plaster the walls? I think the answer is yes, if so is only a light, thin plaster required?

Thanks!

Some of my school books were covered with this woodchip wallpaper in the 70s. I spent the year slowly picking the chips off.:)
