Why on earth would anyone sand popcorn without taking appropriate steps to
prevent the spread of the dust? Sound like total incompetence to me. Wetting it
and scraping seems a lot more reasonable to me, Or at least setting up an
exhaust fan to create a negative pressure area, and sealing the nearby ducts,
etc.
