help a confused homeowner out

[Effective_Unit56]

I got a ceiling question which has been bothering me for days. our ceiling was scraped off and we filled some of the cracks in it.

One painter suggested spraying ProBlock oil based primer then spray the new texture. but another painter says go with texture first then the primer and paint.


which is the correct way to do it though? any friendly advice here?

Definitely prime first! it helps the texture stick better and look even. Hope this helps!

No way. Primer is a "primer" for a reason. PRIME first, and I believe @anonymousse90 here agrees with me.

Touche on both of the commenters before me. The painter that says ProBlock oil first before the texture is the one you should listen to.
