Old Repair On The My Lounge Ceiling

Hi,
I have been decorating our lounge today and started off by putting a coat of white emulsion on the ceiling. We have been living in this house for about twenty years, but I think sometime before we moved in part of the ceiling was repaired. I only notice this when I emulsion the ceiling each time I decorate, as most people don't tend to look up at their ceilings! There is a kind of slight ridge on the ceiling, where the repaired part is slightly higher than the original ceiling. Each time I decorate I intend to make an attempt to tidy it up a bit, but in the end err on the side of caution and leave it alone. Should I continue to leave it alone, or is there an easy way of tidying it up a bit? Many Thanks.

You could use a surform tool, do you know what that is? Amazon.co.uk User Recommendation Easy to use and makes less dust than sand paper, though you could finish off with that, the exposed bare plaster should then be sealed with a couple of coats of wallpaper paste or size before repainting

It's really hard to advise without seeing what you are up against.

Perhaps you could post a pic?
With dust in mind & your own safety Zubar, use Sand paper but do not press to hard with your pressure, once you can see it's level, I would use a cheap undercoat followed by your top coat.
