1) what does kill the suction mean? 2) how do you kill the suction? Great BBQ!

I've spent more time posting on this forum about it than it would take you guys to just do it haha

Right. Have got rid of any ridge and feels as flat as I am going to get it. Quick question. Do you spread the artex on and then use the artex pad or just dip it and then apply it? I am concerned that when I apply it then it will end up proud of the rest of the ceiling. I suppose if it's thin...
