Any suggestions on what I can use around the house instead of the scoring tool to score the wallpaper? Thanks much!

That's easy. You take either a serated edge knife or a serated edge pizza cutter. You are just trying to score through the top layer of the wallpaper. Make sure you don't make grooves in the wallboard or you will have a mess when it comes to painting. There will be dimples in the wall.

I hope you don't hurt the walls behind the wallpaper with pizza cutters, serrated knives, screwdrivers, etc. I have used 30 grit sandpaper with success; once the paper is scored, it soaks up water pretty well then comes off.
