Question:
1. putting joint compound/plaster over popcorn ceiling kosher?

I'be be concerned about how well it adheres as the popcorn is easily flaked
off.


2. what's the longevity of this process, prob bad if ceiling gets wet.

Yes, but why would it get wet? If it does, you have more serious problems.


3. will removing popcorn placed over plaster really that bad to remove
or is contractor full of it?

Over plaster as opposed to over sheetrock? Mine came down easily by wetting
it with a spray bottle with a few drops of detergent in it. Then scrape,
sponge, done. By the first half you have found a good techinque and no
gouging. Some older homes could have has some asbeston in the popcorn, but
not after 1978.



4. he already covered about 1/4 of ceiling, any recommendations on what
we should do?

I don't know abot that.
