Preparing walls for plaster skim?
 

Is there a product I can use to dissolve the mortar, or a tool I can hire
that will make light work of the mess I have to clear? If I carry on as I
am it's going to take days!

I used a belt sander. Smoothed off the old cement ridges in about 10
minutes. A bit dusty, mind.

I'm getting there, I guess I was looking for a no-effort solution, but I've
ended up steaming off the worst of the mortar, then finishing with an
electric sander... That makes lighter work or if than the hand scraper.

Thanks.
