I just finished my popcorn removal. Here’s the current state of the ceilings. The ceiling is now in various states of smoothness and torn up a bit and I’m looking for advice on next steps. If it was all pretty even it seems like I would prime and paint. Wondering if I need to do a coat of something to smooth out the ceiling first, and if so, what would work best? I read a lot of DIY blogs and mentions joint compound but I’m wondering what I would use to fill in such a large area? I have a pole sander and orbital sander at my disposal.
Any advice would be appreciated!
