how do i remove plaster mouldings
we just bought a 1950’s bungalow with cove ceilings and plaster mouldings. The house has obviously settled over the years and cracks have emerged in the mouldings. We want to remove them so my question to you is, how do i remove plaster mouldings off of drywall? Thanks everyone!

For removal, you probably need a hammer, dust mask and perseverence. If you want to recreate the cove mouldings, there is a product made out of metal that you can use in place of the old cove mouldings. You just install it and paint and few people would know the difference. It saves an enormous amount of money over installation of new plaster.
How did plaster mouldings end up on drywall??
have you thought about restoring them? probably will be expensive, but there are people who will fix the cracks for you.
is there another reason you want to remove them?
i would bring in a few plaster guys and see how much they want to restore them before i started chiseling.
