When I did the walls and ceiling on The Lady, I found some really high quality work by GMC:

Don't know if they were saving money or just incompetent.

Used a very flexible kitchen knife to cut down the high spots.

Then I cut and fit 1" thick styrofoam panels. I used some welding rod (thin wire) to hold them in place.

Then used 'Great Stuff' expanding foam to fill cracks and gaps. the foam held the styrofoam in place.

The excess was trimmed off easily once cured...overnight is best. It's hard to cut until it's fully cured.

The new wallboard and ceiling went in over this.
