    contact paper should peel right off. A hair dryer will loosen it by warming the glue.

    If it is wall paper you need to perforate the veneer with a paper tiger, and spray on a glue dissolver like "dif" then peel off the layers. Take your time and let the glue dissolve. Use a putty knife but try not to destroy your sheet rock. Don't use the paper tiger on the backing.
