Does anyone have any good techniques for removeing textue pain from Plaster walls? I’m doing an old house with plaster on stone walls and someone used a very thick texture like paint to cover the walls and “simulate” old world plaster. It doesn’t look good at all and I want to remove it down to the plaster. Is there anything out there that will make it easier than just brute force scraping?

I would try a sanding screen on a pole, to remove the high spots, then skim-coat over it, to get that plastered look.
