Go over it with KILZ. Their alcohol based material, NOT their water
based stuff. That's one of the things Kilz is made for.
Beware, that stuff must be well ventilated. The smell is strong and
in a small room you will soon be drunk !!!! Turn off all pilot lights
too. Read the can....


This guy needs grip, & the advice from most of the posts I can see
is sound.
I'd take issue with the lead scare though.


The Kilz I believe you refer to is better for stain blocking than for
grip.
Yea nasty stuff.

But kilz is for pussys,- If you want a primer that will stick to just
about antthing _and_ knock you out _ at the same time XIM!

Ahem,
Never mind.



I have used KILZ for this application and it works great.
The possible lead is one reason to avoid sanding it.

Personally if it was my ceiling, I'd just put ceiling tile or
something over it. All that screwing around sounds like too much work
to me, Of course I hate painting....
