Removing Popcorn Finish from Ceiling?

Do I just use a paint scraper and then sand the wallboard before repainting?

Popcorn ceilings most often have asbestos in them. Asbestos is carcinogenic. It is dangerous to disturb the popcorn particles. You need to have a small sample checked for asbestos, and if positive for asbestos a special crew needs to be hired. My husband died last year, partially due to asbestos exposure. Please be careful.

With or without asbestos, this is an awful job. You need to get some good advice and instructions about it if you are going to tackle it yourself.

Try googling for information, or visit your library for some home improvement books which might have that information.
