Hi All: My bathroom ceiling is 6'x10' with a "beloved" popcorn finish. There are some hairline cracks in the popcorn. Should, and how do I repair these? Drywall compound with a toothbrush? I have a ventilation fan that I do not believe is vented outside, just to the attic area. I believe I've read that they should be vented all the way to the outside?

I believe the ventilation fan was installed after the piopcron ceiling as there are patches of popcorn adjacent to the fan that are falling off. How do I repair this? Scrape off any loose popcorn with a putty knife and reapply popcorn via one of the popcorn repair spray cans?

Hate to think about it, but should I take down all the popcorn and paint? The majority of the popcorn seems solid.

Thanks
