Paint stripping

Hello, I had read about stripping gloss paint by heating, sanding, or chemical strippers but how do you strip emulsions or don't you? Our bathroom ceiling has some peeling paint. I have scraped this back to the plaster. I thought I would have to strip all the paint - good and bad - off so that the whole ceiling is back to the plaster, so that the new coat will be flat but I have had limited success sanding and heating so far. No web sites seem to mention stripping emulsions. Is it not necessary? Will a few coats hide any patches where I scraped the peeling paint off? Thanks. Cover the emulsion with a coat of thick wallpaper paste, let it stand for 1/2 an hour, then try scraping. |

Not something I'd fancy doing on a ceiling though |
