The floor must be covered with a drop cloth with waterproof backing. To soften the ceiling’s surface and make ceiling scraping easier, the team will spray the ceiling with a standard garden sprayer. Make sure to not spray the ceiling with too much water. The top layer of water helps to keep dust out of eyes, nostrils, and other parts of the ceiling-scraping team’s bodies.
