plastered my kitcken ceiling. being quite a novice i messed it up a
little.
instead of reskimming the ceiling i simply pollyfilled the mistakes and
sanded.
i sealed the ceiling then painted with crown white kitchen paint.
first coat up and some of the parts where i have pollyfilled, you can
really see. quite bumpy looking when caught in a light source.

i am wondering will another coat help.
should i sand the painted high spots and apply another coat.

ive heard about polycell basecoat i am thinking of buying some,
will this help smooth out the high spots and is it ok to apply over my
crown painted ceiling.
thanks!

Steve,

Is the paint you have used a silk, or anything with a 'sheen'?
If yes, then try coating with a very 'Matt" based paint... this can
hide a mutlitude of sins.

Must disagree. Any paint with a sheen will show every flaw depending on
the direction of the light. Try matt emulsion.

makes two of us then.
I know from sheening a bad plastered ceiling in my kitchen.
Repainting in Matt worked a treat.
