Think Michelangelo at the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. Build 
scaffolding and lay on your back while plastering.

Yes, I'm joking.

On the sloping ceiling and the short back wall of the East Wing I 
used what in Ozark County is called dairy board. It is white, 
plasticized and stiff and is held on with special fasteners. It 
reflects light wonderfully and washes down easily. Has a slight 
texture, so doesn't blind one with reflection. It was awkward to 
install by myself.
