Rent one of these and connect it to your shop-vac. Works like a

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 -

Yep. I bought the Harbor Freight model for less than twenty dollars. Had to
use the shop vac's hose though.
