Default Textured paint removal

Anyone have experience removing textured paint. My first instinct is to use
a paint stripper or heat gun and scrape. The paint is on plaster walls.

Anyone know what works best?

Thanks.



Don't know if it'll work on plaster, but I wanted to remove the
texture and paint from the drywall in my 73 POS. Got a 2" carbide
paint scraper, and scraped the snot out of every wall. When the
texture came off...it left little pits...but a quick skim coat fixed
that. Primed then painted. I got hammered by many saying I should of
put 3/8 drywall over the top...but I didnt' want to muck with all the
jamb extensions, elec boxes etc.
