OK, generally speaking, should I sand with or across the joints?

Rent one of these and connect it to your shop-vac. Works like a
charm, especially if you have a lot of ceiling work. If you have just
one ceiling, then pass and do it the conventional way - extension
pole.

I'm using a 100 watt flood light with all other lights turned off and
holding it up against the ceiling so it shines across the ceiling. That
makes the imperfections stand out!- Hide quoted text -

That's ridiculous at $398

Hence: " Rent one of these " ... I borrowed one from a friend - cost
was zero dollars.

For a pro I'm sure it is worth the money, if used daily in
construction.

I would challenge you to fine ONE pro using one of these.
