I did a small patch job using the spray can it was a nightmare to use. Ended up spraying the can into a plate and patching it like in your video. Much better way to go in my opinion. Had another section peel from a leak that our house had before we purchased. Thanks for the video!
Thank you. This seems like a much better method than the Homax popcorn ceiling spray can which was to me the very worst product I have ever bought at any hardware store any time in my life.
Thank you. I have a large pat h of exposed drywall from water damage. The roofers fixed the leak but left me to remove the sagging popcorn (done months ago) and today I'm planning to finally popcorn patching the ceiling. The spot shows up in my zoom background unless I move my camera and so I'm excited to get this done in time for next semester. I hope it comes out right without paint, but that was a great hint if it's not matching. Thanks again for this simple explanation
Hi, Its manufactured by Litex and I bought it at Home Depot a couple of years ago. Its called "Popcorn Ceiling Patch and Repair" if I remember correctly.
If your home was built before 1978, I recommended wearing a good quality dust mask when removing any loose popcorn since many older popcorn ceilings contain asbestos. In the State of Hawaii, a homeowner cannot remove even a small amount of their popcorn ceiling for asbestos testing if they live in a condo unless it's done by a certified professional. However, if the dwelling is a stand-alone single family dwelling the homeowner can remove a small sample by themselves for testing.
Can you recommend anyone in hawaii that does popcorn ceiling repair I have a huge hole in my ceiling was gonna repair it my self but my condo was made in 1973
I have about 15 small dents as bashed cealing with end of weight as loon neighbour 247. 3 of the small dents u can see concrete the other circle dents you can see the dent but the paint not removed. Could do what you done with all right.
I tried a repair on mine in the hall & along edge of ceiling & didn't see this video, then, & it left a whitish line..Where can I get this? I was @ home depo twice before I did mine, & they didn't show me this producgt..I still have more to do, & this looks better than what I used..Thanks 6-13-16 Anita
My popcorn ceiling is a bit different than this example. It has long sharp points, vs this example that looks as if someone was applying mud with a box a nerds mixed in lol. How do I repair my type of ceiling?
I have a stucco ceiling that I will be working on for a customer where there was a water leak from the roof and it has left several cracks on the ceiling. My guess would be to first tape the cracked areas and then use a pre-mixed stucco patch to cover the tape. If anyone has a better way to correct this, any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks!
Nah you’re right but get some mud in the crack and a layer for the mud to sit on that’s got not voids in it or it’ll blister (look up blistering drywall paper) then you can coat over that paper. But make sure you get mud under the paper too!
From everything I’ve seen, you want to sand the area of repair w/180 grit sandpaper to 4 to 5 inches outward of the repair area. Spray it with a good primer like kilz before applying the popcorn patch.
I have an actual hole in the ceiling. I live in apartments and unfortunately made a hole with the broom one night because the upstairs neighbors were being too loud. Would I just patch the drywall normally with stucko and then use this popcorn patch once that is dry? Any info helps.
My ceiling is tinted. I have a large area to repair and I just can't ever imagine getting the tint right. I think I'm faced with removing the whole popcorn ceiling. Depressing.

How to cover up game with spots will paint you ceiling
Thank you. This seems like a much better method than the Homax popcorn ceiling spray can which was to me the very worst product I have ever bought at any hardware store any time in my life.
If you don’t mind my asking Henry, what were the drawbacks of the Homax popcorn spray can?
Wow didn't know it was that easy; been waiting for a handyman but now I will do myself-thank you!!!

Dab on with a course sponge (real sponge with big holes) works much better to get a consistent texture match!
I remodel mobile homes this tip is spot on and works great. Thanks

Is this water proof?
I use in my house a texture roll & works great.
Appreciate your help
Try using the popcorn ceiling in the spray can I think you'll love it

+daMacroGuy Good point. I clearly mention this in a number of articles I wrote on popcorn ceiling.
Can you recommend anyone in hawaii that does popcorn ceiling repair I have a huge hole in my ceiling was gonna repair it my self but my condo was made in 1973
Great job!
Was the ceiling primed before it was sprayed originally?I have found a ceiling fails if it was not primed first.
Do u have to prime
Need this stuff.. my dad painted my ceiling last night and over sprayed areas because he couldn't see if it was spraying.
thank you...this looks close to what I have to patch.
Thank you exactly what I needed to see.
exactly what I needed. Thanks!!
Many thanks for the useful video. Thanks
Thank you so much this is exactly what I needed to know ☺

Thank you I truly thank you
Thanks for the video !
I've used the spray stuff before. It was pretty messy.
why couldn't you just breakdown the material that you removed, and mix it in with some watered down sheet rock compound? wouldn't it match better?
It came out wonderful

nevermind, looks like a sponge will do the trick

Hi Mark...after you do the repair but before you paint it, do you normally prime the repaired area first or just paint it and skip the primer?
From everything I’ve seen, you want to sand the area of repair w/180 grit sandpaper to 4 to 5 inches outward of the repair area. Spray it with a good primer like kilz before applying the popcorn patch.
looks good
While the ceiling doesn't have to be painted. the end patch doesn't match the texture of the ceiling.
I have an actual hole in the ceiling. I live in apartments and unfortunately made a hole with the broom one night because the upstairs neighbors were being too loud. Would I just patch the drywall normally with stucko and then use this popcorn patch once that is dry? Any info helps.
Use spackle not stucco
I came for the same reason lol
This exact thing just happened to me today!! Thanks for the video.
I'm assuming you followed mixing directions, but it sure seems like that stuff was a bit too watery to spread well.
Nice job, thanks.
rob lowe?
Wonder if they have a spray can that will do the same
Spray can gets very messy and doesn't even out well. I've used it.
Stay away from the spray on popcorn patches
My ceiling is tinted. I have a large area to repair and I just can't ever imagine getting the tint right. I think I'm faced with removing the whole popcorn ceiling. Depressing.
Popcorn ceilings really don't bother me... aslong as it not throughout the whole house
correction: roller
if i do this by myself the whole house will collapse. I'm incel.
