Work slowly along the glued area. Apply steady pressure rather than yanking, so the panel releases from the adhesive in one piece.
Use a heat gun on stubborn spots. A little warmth softens most construction adhesives and makes the panel easier to lift.
Scrape residual glue off the wall with a putty knife once the panel is off.
Patch and sand any marks left behind before painting or installing a new wall treatment.

A Few Things to Know Before You Start

Most faux leather panels use a construction adhesive that bonds hard within 24-48 hours, so removal is easiest the sooner you tackle it after installation. If the panels have been up for years, expect the glue to be more stubborn, which is where the heat gun step really helps. Keep the heat moving rather than holding it in one spot, since too much direct heat can mark drywall or damage paint. If you’re planning to reuse the wall right away, a coat of primer over any patched or sanded spots will keep the new finish looking even.
