Please be careful of the fumes and plan accordingly. Some heated glues are toxic.

I would have just painted over the panelling. I've seen textured paint, stripes painted, a brown bag textured type of application.

I had blue paneling in a rec room and saw a beautiful room display at the Ralph Lauren Store in Phoenix, where they used dark forest green cordaroy to cover the walls. So I painted all the blue paneling forest green, the moldings and doors black, used black and white cow hide for a rug, used red, black and grey indian rugs as wall hangings, and now have a Polo inspired Man Cave with gas fireplace, wet bar and Western artifacts.

Carroll, I understand totally. I have been going through and doing the same inside and out and ohhhh the lessons learned! But luckily there is always someone who has gone before up and lots of DIY and inspiration here. I like the room Becky Sue @ Designs by BSB did with mud, paint, and glaze allot, but there are so many ideas here that I like as I go along. Right now, I am working on my living room (forever) and thinking about the texture on the ceiling (storm damage). enjoy the journey the outcome is the reward!

@Mike F, pics pleaassse!?

@ Mike F - yes please, pictures?

Pardon the photo skills, but these may give an idea as to how the room turned out.

@Mike F - Beautiful!

Mike F ...looking good there.

You can try using a heat gun or hair dryer set on high to see if that'll soften the glue residue enough to allow it to be scraped off. It may take off the paint and texture too, but that's easily fixed if the walls have a smooth finish.

Ahead of schedule and under budget....These are just myths....;)

One of the joys of any DIY project is the ability to savor the project...if you can prolong the experience, you can enjoy it for much longer.

Personally I get great satisfaction watching others work. It really puts into prospective why we charge the rates we do when were asked to do jobs such as this. And I not only get the satisfaction of getting paid, but to see the end results as well.

Keep up the good work Carroll, were all rooting for you!

I had a spectator yesterday....my clients son was watching me demo the front deck of their home in 90 degree heat....BTW...he was watching from the inside were the AC was blasting.

He did an awesome job of refilling my water bottle...;)

had this same thing and we retextured and primed the room. It only took my husband 30 minutes to do the whole room. It is the best room in the house.

Had the same problem in guest room, just retextured over it in a orange peel, splatter pattern and voila, all better.

T.J. Weber - that looks terrific!

If you can get the glue off, you should think about natural clay plaster. We did our entire house in natural clay from American Clay out of Albuquerque. You would have to have all the glue off and probably use Kiltz 2 with a little silica sand mixed in. That would give it a good base to adhere to.
