Then need to purchase protective clothing and gear to moisten and remove. Plus plastic sheeting to protect carpet/ furniture etc. Dispose correctly. Have a neck masseur handy too!

Spray water onto it from a small spray bottle (spray a small area at a time), it will then scrape off easily with a paint scraper. Put tarps or similar on the floor of course to protect flooring or carpet. I did whole house and it came off so cleanly I could just wipe it down and paint.

Sheesh, 65 year old female DIYer. Pretty poor advise so far. Would definitely get tested first then follow on after test results. If asbestos, not a job for DIY with water and overalls and plastic sheets, and what to do with it afterward. Peter

Don't worry about asbestos if your 65 won't really matter now

Do you know when it was done. If after 1990 you can safely say it won't have any asbestos in it and testing would be a wast of money.

How do I remove decorative plaster from a ceiling, 65 year old female! Need to be rid of it in order for paint to be applied?

You may want to get this test this for asbestos first. Look in yellow pages or Google for someone close to you or you can post a small sample to a lab that does the test.
