Texturing a ceiling after removing popcorn. And i ve seen it do. You can create texture by pushing drywall compound along the ceiling with a broom stamping it with a potato masher or swirling it with a sponge. Texturing your ceiling with a paint roller after removing the popcorn material is actually quite simple.
Given that you ve put so much work into preparing the room fastidiously covering the walls and floor with. Bare drywall will suck the moisture out of the paitn and prevent you from distrbuting the texture evenly. When scraping a popcorn ceiling there is a very common belief that you can just scrape it and paint it.
Even among the various textures that homeowners find appealing you can choose from a wide variety of styles. To do so simply obtain some texture mix dip your paint roller into the mixture and begin applying it to the ceiling as if you were painting it on. I really wish our textured ceilings were popcorn.
They re this weird sponge spackle combo that is impossible to match just ask my husband who spent like 10 hours trying to get his 4 patches to match after installing some can lights in our basement ceiling. And it can easily cover up any damage that might ve been created on your popcorn removal. There are a lot of different options for what to do with the ceiling after the popcorn has been removed.
Continue until you have removed the popcorn ceiling to reveal the drywall surface beneath. For easier scraping and practically no dust during popcorn ceiling removal use a garden pump sprayer to mist the ceiling and let it soak in for about 15 minutes before scraping. With a light water application the popcorn seems to come off fairly easily even when painted.
The problem from what i see is that when the guys are looking at the ceiling after the texture is gone saying it looks pretty good and they dont spend the amount of time on it like they would on new drywall. Many people choose to create a texture by manually manipulating the drywall compound.
