Fans are down to be cleaned, walls have been tsb'd but what about
popcorn ceiling? I can't wash it. Painter friend suggested a bonding
primer. Kilz says for grease stains but then says area must be free of
grease.

I don't want to scrape this ceiling............................


If this is going to be a rental unit for any length of time,
this is as good a time as any to swap the ceiling treatment
for something that's easier to maintain. Do they still make
that white-coated masonite? That stuff cleans fairly easily.

I'm with you, Goedjn, Bill, get rid of the popcorn and either have
the ceiling replastered or find another solution. Room will look
much classier.
