I ordered a tub of X-Tex to soften the awful Artex that I has actually painted on the kitchen wall 30 years ago (what was I thinking?). It arrived on the allotted time and I set about covering the walls with this liquid, it was best left over night as per instructions and when I started to scrape off the Artex the next day I found it was extremely hard work, after a few sweaty experiments I discovered that you have to steam the area (with a wallpaper steamer), leave for approx. 20-30 mins and then start scraping, it's a lot easier (I wish they would have put that in the instructions). The thing to remember is that it is no easy work to get rid of the Artex covering, be prepared for a hard slog.....
