I have read many of the suggestions regarding blue etc for gloss backgrounds so we had a artex ceiling with gloss paint so out with blue grit.
So put a layer of blue grit left it 24 hours then put on bonding coat with a multi finish...... today after having skimmed it on Saturday noticed a big crack across the ceiling gave the ceiling a tap heard an echo realised it had not bonding to the ceiling, long and short had to pull the whole ceiling down as the bluegrit had pulled of the gloss paint and well now got bloody sore shoulders.
Lesson learned the hard way
