Hi
I'm removing 25 yr old polystyrene tiles from a bedroom ceiling and being left with a very uneven surface of old adhesive with gaps.
I'm thinking of using a skim coat compound (I believe that Polycell make one for the inexperienced amateurs) to improve the surface, and then apply a textured ceiling paper.
Can someone please advise if I will be doing the right thing in applying a skim compound, or is there something alternative you would recommend I do (and no, I do not want to replace the entire ceiling!
Many thanks
Ray
