I have a distemper ceiling and I washed off what came of easily with hot soapy water and a scourer about 5 times, but there is still some really hard stuff not wanting to move, so I used Zinsser Bullseye 123 as a primer sealer as was recommended by Brewers.
A week later i am filling a few dents prior to emulsion and saw a small bump by a crack I was about to fill. I went to scrape it off the ceiling with a glass scaper blade and the effing bullseye paint that a scraped off peeled back fairly easily.
This was not what I expected to happen. The paint is quite 'flexible'. If the paint wants to stick to itself then I supose that the less strong bond between the ceiling and the paint will 'give' if it's put under unusual 'pressure' by me peeling it.
Do I peel the whole lot off?
I'm tempted to patch it up and hope that there is sufficient adhesion for a couple of years, after which I will get the lot replastered as i have spent such a lot of time on prep and am gutted
Should I compalin to Brewers and get a refund?
I've got another ceiling to do
