OUr new house has some plaster ceiling (it's an old house) and I haven't done much reading myself on this but I'm starting here. We've got some cracks int he surface plaster, I was wondering if anyone had some experience with having their ceilings refinished - plaster or otherwise. I have heard of some people putting wall board up instead of newplaster but I have not seen in. The newer addition to the house has this kind of ceiling.
The ceilings do need refinishing, it isn't something I can let go. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) |

If the plaster is just cracked and not falling down, you can fill the cracks with that white wall filler, (assuming that its a rough finish this works),( if it's a flat finish this, won't work..) then, smooth it out and then re-paint the ceiling. if the paint is peeling however, you need to scrape it, sand it and then re-paint. if you try to paint over peeling paint, big chunks will start falling off as the wet paint hits it! (bad experience....)
