use a hammer and chisel to remove the plaster. If you're having problems
with the plaster not breaking predictably, I'd say that's probably due
to your technique. Don't try to chisel all the way through it in a
single blow. Instead, score it lightly all the way around, just deep
enough to get through the whitecoat. Then score it again, harder, about
half-way through the browncoat. Finally, chisel all the way through the
browncoat.

Well, I sho'ly get the idea. Sounds faster and cleaner,
but with more elbow grease.

That's pretty much it, yeah.

Not certain my chisels are up to it, 'tho. Maybe
just put 'em on the bench grinder, sharpen 'em
up a bit.

There ya go. Good luck!
