greeting all,
I need to cut some small holes in an old radiant ceiling and was wondering if anyone has a method of finding the wires as opposed to gently scraping back to find them.
thanks

the electronic Bosch stud finderwill locate them...
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming
WOW!!! What a Ride!
Forget the primal scream, just ROAR!!!
Yeah, and probably one of those non-contact Christmas light testers would work.
A strong nation, like a strong person, can afford to be gentle, firm, thoughtful, and restrained. It can afford to extend a helping hand to others. It's a weak nation, like a weak person, that must behave with bluster and boasting and rashness and other signs of insecurity. --Jimmy Carter

As a general rule, if you just start cutting you'll find the wires soon enough. Especially if the power's on when you do it. The trick is to NOT find the wires.
(Several types of circuit-tracing devices might be used. I had a cheap GB unit that would have done the job, but it quit working about a year back.)
Any of the heated gypsum panels I have removed were filled up pretty good with wires. I could not imagine getting around them.
