Due to your home being quiet older i would not be surprised if your ceiling was painted using a oil based paint. When placing water based paints over the top you have an adhesion issue which will lack the strength when it comes to contact with your tape etc. Now these are your options: - Re-coat with a Flat Enamel Paint although will carry a smell for a little while and or takes a while to re-coat (24 Hours). This will 100% Work - Zinsser do have a range of products that will work and are water based. The one I recommend and stock is the Zinsser All Coat which is an all in one solution and sticks to basically anything and can be tinted. They also have other primers but this will give you a great dead flat finish coat! Hope this helps, Good Luck!
