Great, thank you both. I haven't had a chance to get back to my project yet but going to be picking it back up this week.
Again, thank you both for responding!!
I am preparing the lower bath and basement stairs walls for painting. The previous owner used wallpaper and (cough) contact paper. Taking it off, I've left noticeable divots in the walls, and the contact paper on the basement stairs tore down to the brown paper.
I've mostly removed the wall...
