"Any brand is fine even the Argos value is good!  Since you are in Ireland anything between £20 to £40 paint stripper is fine ...just remember to just cut the hose to about 12 inch length and rescale steamer with Oust when necessary!"

"Edith F- great idea! Finding it very hard to source a Jiffy Steamer in Ireland. Can you tell me what brand wall paper stripper you use and maybe where to source one? (as you can tell I've never stripped wallpaper!)  Thankyou, Michelle"

"I am late in responding, but I use plastic millinery wire for all of the washable hats that I make.  Works great, but caution hand washing, rather than throwing in with a washer of jeans. LOL"
