The kitchen ceiling of my house (circa 20's) is flaking here and
there. There are several areas in which pieces, of various sizes
and with thickness roughly equal to several paint layers, are
peeling. I could of course just pull them off, sand slightly, and
repaint the ceiling. But I'd really like to fill them before I paint.
My question: How best to do this, and should I use spackle
or plaster? The surface beneath is solid.
Thanks very much!

P.S. A future question will be about the plaster on the basement
walls (finished basement) that is flaking AND powdering. How best
to handle that, including proper prep? (I assume a moisture problem
on that one, but can't detect any.)
