off the drywall itself. Unfortunately, when unprimed, the drywall and the wallpaper are inseparable. Maureen, sometimes I have seen drywall replaced in this case. The other option is to remove the peeling places, scoring with a utility knife to stop chunks of drywall from coming off. sand the walls, prime them with an oil base kilz, sand again and skim the whole thing with joint compound. However, this is normally not a job for a homeowner.
