I painted the kitchen ceiling this past weekend because I replaced some Sheetrock in a certain area. The area I sheetrocked came out fine but another area peeled a few hours later. The spot is about 8 inches by 3 inches. I had put 2 coats of fresh ceiling paint on with about a 2 hour wait between coats.


I will let the paint dry a few more days to make sure it is completely dry but here is my question:

After I scrape away any loose paint from the edges, should I use a little bit of joint compound to fill in that area and then paint or should I just sand the area and then only paint that spot again? If I use the compound will that area be a little higher after I apply the 2 coats of paint? That is what I am trying to avoid.
