My Paint on my ceiling has chipped near my stove, i replaced my stove hood to get rid of cause, How can i blend old paint edge to textured ceiling before i prime and repaint whole ceiling. the texture is fine, the paint looked as if it was poorly applied, and the heat and stove fumes peeled it. I was told alcohol would soften and blend this paint edge?

Hello, I've been remodeling my master bedroom on and off over the last couple of years. About a year back I finished the main area complete with new base an crown molding. I stopped putting the molding on in the main area where it comes together with a small hall that leads to closets and the master bath. A particularly long run just shy of 21ft on the crown molding required a splice of two shorter pieces which came off without a hitch and the long piece was hung. I'm just getting back to starting the hall that leads to the bath and went to match up the crown molding I had hung last year which seens to have pulled back from the edge about 1/16 of an inch creating quite a large gap when putting in place the matching crown piece. What are my options here other than taking down the log run which I am NOT doing. Thanks in advance. gs425
