I had, still do in a few places, something like that, only mine was a fo (sp?) spanish style texturing. The paper tiger wouldn't touch the plaster. I even tried white vinegar. I decided I didn't want the smell in the walls. Finally I did just pull the walls down. I'm glad I did, because of all the shoddy wiring. It also gave me a chance to insulate the walls too.
Insulation isn't just for outside walls, it cuts down on the noise from room to room. I did farm out the mudding and taping. That really is an artwork to get it right and believe me, I'm no artist.
How did your reno go?
