Stud suddenly visible on kitchen ceiling

yeah this can happen as I stated in post 6, hopefully you won't find too many, it is a common event with plaster boards to have nail pops
just push the ceiling up and if no more pop fill the holes in

So by pushing up to fix hole 1, I created hole 2 and 3? Makes me nervous about applying any further pressure to the board.
 
you can just fill them as they are and take ya chance they won't pop again, it is difficult as I am not there to actually feel the board, but it is clear the nails are not fully in , only go as far as you are happy to go
 
Appreciate you’re helping me remotely etc. If I apply final push b4 filling, should I just apply pressure in the area of the three blemishes?

Finally, what process/products do you recommend to fill?

Thank you again

yes just where the nails have popped, any plaster filler will do, you won't need a lot, I have used pound shop filler before now ,just dampen the hole a little bit before you fill it
 
You can use insulation washers (wedi) and screws if the hole is too large to nail in.
 
Add two extra screw fixings, in the middle between #1 and #2, and between #3 and #1, make then a little below the plaster surface, so you can apply plaster over the top. That should pull the board up, then you should be able to plaster over the top of all 5 heads.

Thanks. However, not much good at plastering.
 
Hi again

Have these plasterboard screws in toolbox but not sure of drill bit size to use.

Also how far into plasterboard should they go?

Many thanks again.

You don't drill PB - the screws are self drilling
