Hire it done. This is no job for an amateur or with spray cans!
Carefully. A gentle brush with a broom covered with an old rag.
YThere is a shiny spot where you painted over a water stain on a textured ceiling because of reflection. I used original kilz on this stain it still shows,I have been a professional painter for 30 years and have not seen this happen. Are there any other explanations out there?thanks
my husband did our living ceiling by doing a textured plaster & spraying fine opalescent glass chips on it to get a sparkly finish.
Special surfaces are often used on ceilings for a couple reasons. One, a rough surface hides defects on the ceiling easily. Because it is a ceiling rather than a wall, the surfaces do not collect dust easily. Two, the rough surface acts to absorb sound that would otherwise echo through the room.
Textured or "rough" ceilings are not good candidates for taping. Often the texture is sprayed on and therefore susceptible to peeling and damage. A better system of masking is to use a painting shield, they come in several sizes and forms. The method of use, is to put the shield over the ceiling and tight up to the wall. Paint up to the shield, then move it to the next section. Be sure to wipe all paint from the shield each time you use it and always put the same side against the ceiling. You don't risk getting paint on the ceiling that way.
A drawing with texture.

When you paint a textured ceiling, you need to use a thick nap roller to roll over the bumps and crevices on the ceiling. You should also cover the floor and furniture for easy clean-up.
A texture hopper is unable to apply stucco. Texture hoppers are used to apply water soluble textured material to ceilings that are not a sand/mortar based material.

YES
The term 'acoustic ceiling' could have many meanings to different people. Are you dealing with a suspended ceiling with acoustic ceiling panels, with glued on 1' x 1' acoustic ceiling tiles or tiles which have been stapled to firring strips? Or are you talking about a drywalled or plastered ceiling which has an applied textured surface. The method of fastening a wood member to each of these will be different.
It depends what the ceiling is. Presuming it is artex, you would need to PVA it first, and then apply plaster... so PVA, and plaster.
Which side of textured paper do you type on? i have linen with a smooth and textured side.
It is the kind of plastered ceiling that is not smoothe but textured. It may appear a little like gravel, or the lumps may be a little larger. They usually are not nearly as big as actual kernels of popped corn, but clearly the effect is to have something other than a completely smoothe surface.
Scrape, refloat.
