I’m up against this stuff they put in Capp homes years ago, which is radiant electric wires stapled to the ceiling drywall, then covered with mud or acoustic (acoustic in this case).
Does anyone out there have any experience dealing with this stuff? The owners don’t use it much, want to keep it operable, but also want to get rid of the acoustic. I assume the usual wetting and scraping might work if done carefully, but if anyone has methods/approaches/hints and tips, they would all be appreciated.
Thanks.

Prescriptive codes don't address the connection at less common angles, so base the connection off more typical ones using bolts, structural screws, blocking, and steel tension ties.

I have the same system, dating from the 60s, but it's in plaster plus kitty litter, so I would love to learn more about it myself.
Actually, it works rather well. I have zone heating for three bedrooms and the living room. No duct work, no blowing dust, no heating the whole house if you want heat in one room.
