Hi,
Have tried to get this off ceiling but its stuck fast!
Don't want to use a steamer in case i mess up the plaster board underneath.
Could i sand it down and then skim over with something like smooth over polycell???
any better ideas?
Am on a budget and would like to do most of the work myself
thanks,

Best way I know is =
Run steamer in room for about an hour sealed, windows and doors closed (will be like a sauna) that normally helps0 -
like smooth over polycell???
Don't even think about it, the tub goes no where ! you would need a bank loan :rolleyes:0 -
sounds like a plan. If i do sand it what could i go over it with if not smooth over?
Suppose I could just put on a couple of coats of paint and noone would know any different???0
