    Default Removing paint from plasterboard

    I am in the process of sanding emulsion off of plasterboard. The prob I am having is that the colour of the paint is so close to the plaster I cant tell the paint is removed until im beyond the paper.

    Im thinking of just going over it a few times to take the majority of it off.

    I remember reading you can score the paint prior to tiling.

    Any suggestions guys?

    Don't score the plasterboard, you will destroy it's strength.
