Best job for it ..don't even scrape just bang it straight on...don't just take my advise ask others that have used it @stuart23 @jamesthefirst .
The dude above might of been plastering 30 years but if he has not used it his advise is worthless..it's 2016 not 1970
 
I find unifinish a bit hit or miss, either hangs about forever or takes up really quick. I've done a few ceilings like you described, I found best way was to first coat then leave it till its really tight then second coat. If you get second coat on too early thats when i found it hangs about for ages and you get air bubbles

It was fine when it eventually set! Probably advise the same, leave 2nd coat until first is nice and tight, there was a few areas where the paper bubbled, I just cut it out with a stanley. But if you leave second coat off until first has tightened up you will probably see them and catch it with second coat
 
If you want to have any of the day left to enjoy your daughters birthday use multi mate first time I used uni my son was coming 3 did the job got home he's 6 now it hung that long [emoji1]
