Sherwin-Williams Flat Superpaint Striping On Ceiling

I cut open a bubble this morning and see all the paint layers separated from the drywall skim coat. Interesting that this did not happen on the first two paintings of the ceiling. I guess each repaint softens the paint all the way to the skim coat and if there is dust a bubble can form from the weight of the wet paint.

I remember when this painter first arrived I asked him if the skim coated ceiling needed to be dusted off before priming. He told me no because the pressure from the sprayer would blow off the drywall dust.:laughing::laughing::laughing:

Since this paint is dead flat I am wondering if I can cut out the bubbles, repair the surfaces, and do a touch up without having them spray and back roll the entire ceiling again.
that should work just fine
