Wallpaper paste spiked with super glue

I like to paint, rooms that is,although I have been know to paint on canvas.  I find it very satisfying to end up with a new-looking room, fresh and clean.  What I don't enjoy is the prep work. I don't mind taping the trim but washing down the walls, moving furniture, ripping off unnecessary trim, and especially stripping wallpaper are not my idea of fun.  It's finished now on my current project, the wallpaper stripping, not the painting, but what a chore.  I'm pretty sure the wallpaper I've been working on was held on with wall[paper paste with occasional dots of super glue thrown in for good measure.  That wallpaper did not want to come off.  I'd be stripping away, getting fairly large strips off when suddenly my scraper would hit a stubborn spot - it felt like super glue to me.  But it's done, finally.  Now I can get on to the fun stuff.
