I have a stipple ceiling that was hideous and far too coarse (looked like they sprayed popcorn on wet plaster for the stipple!) blech!
So, I have taken a puddy knike and removed all the 'popcorn' looking stipple and left a smooth DUSTY plaster underneath. The ceiling is concrete, so I don't want to remove the plaster and redo it as it would be quite uneven underneath. So now I just want to paint over the plaster. It is VERY dusty, and if you brush it with a broom, it drops dust.
So...my question is how would I go about painting this? I assume I need to seal it? Primer? Should I use a spray bottle and wet it down first and let it dry to 're-set' the plaster so it's not so dusty? I have a feeling if I try to paint it with a roller right now, the roller will just gunk up with the dust! HELP! Thanks so much!
