    Hey everyone, first off, I apologize for the long intro. This video was actually shot on 3/29/2017, back when I was real new to this. It's NOT my best quality video, and yes, I did narrate too much. I have worked on getting to the point much quicker these days so if you watch some of my latest videos, I get to the point quicker. It's funny because this video has never gotten a lot of attention, then suddenly, UA-cam started showing it much more and it has gone crazy lately, getting 15,000 views a day and I'm thankful, but I am working hard to put out better quality content all the time.
    I actually will be shooting a popcorn removal video again soon, so be watching for a much better version. It will have better lighting, better sound and more to the point. So I thank you so much for understanding that being a UA-cam creator is a learning process, and I am working hard to get better, and I do value your feedback as long as it's polite. Thanks and see you on the next video. Guy

    As a painting contractor I do these removals fairly often. Personally I like to use the popcorn removal knifes that have the bags on the end to catch the majority of the texture. I still mask all floors and walls off completely but they help with keeping the job clean quite a bit. Also airless paint sprayers work great to spray the water on. I like to spray the texture with water 2-5 times while waiting 10-20 mins between. Good points in this video!

      @Katelin B as long as you don't get it extremely wet it won't damage it. In the past I have even used a garden hose with a nozzle. If you use an airless it's actually somewhat difficult to get it that wet. Key is lots of coats, medium sized tip, 517 works great.

      So did you do the job?
      I literally just finished the DIY removal in my own home. The home has been completely renovated because it’s just all garbage, carpet, vinyl flooring etc.
      we removed the flooring, floor boards and zero furniture in the house. I laid plastic down and wet the ceiling and scraped with two other people. We wore masks and goggles and gave ourselves a blow job after, pun intended. Got the 800-1000 square feet done in 1 hour, cleaned any lingering material with a vacuum for about two hours after.
      You can either live with it or get rid of it and I was not going to live with it (probably still will if it’s in my lungs!). My house was built in 72’.

    @SkiDooSummit670 4 роки тому +2

    I am doing my kitchen. The thing I wished I had known about is the vacuum sander. I used an orbital sander, and had a lot more dust. Also, I was eliminating a soffit. So after I got the soffit down, I had to install wallboard on the ceiling and wall, and replaced wallboard around a light fixture that was used to char the wallboard and crack it! I used very hot water without detergent, scraped the whole popcorn ceiling. After it was dry I used Gardz first on my gouges from scraping, sanded the old wallboard at the edge, and taped the joints first with a couple of coats, then after it was dry, troweled the whole ceiling with no sanding on most of the ceiling before troweling. I did not have any nail issues. I am not quite finished, so I might rent the sander at the end. Great video.

Plus, you know what the contractor should state they will do. Many who claim they can do it, won't do all these things and you'll end up with a low quality job. So I'm glad to help.

    Hi Kilted Guy! (love that). Just sharing that my husband and I removed popcorn from three rooms (so far). What a mess, even with taping and removing furniture. Our house was built in 1987 and the ceiling hadn't been painted. I like how you advised to really wet the surface and wait. We did have to spray ours several times and then lots of touch up and repairs. We were hiring a professional to skim coat the whole thing and then sand and prime/paint. One note to share is to turn off heat or A/C as the drywall dust will migrate to every room. Another thing I'd mention is having really good lighting for the clean up/repair work and even to inspect after final sanding and priming. Things just show up during each phase.

      ps: we have a cathedral ceiling with beams.....and popcorn. I'm rethinking things and might put up the lighter weight drywall instead of working between all those beams! Thought about using some type of flooring on the ceiling but not sure yet. Not looking forward to the mess either way

    • @ThatKiltedGuyDIY
      @ThatKiltedGuyDIY  5 років тому +2

      Pam, thanks for sharing. Yes, the popcorn removal is about the messiest thing we do in drywall. And that's great advice to turn off the heat, IF you have forced air. IF you have ANY vents that draw air in, either cover them up, or turn off the system. And good lighting is KEY to doing a good job of finishing. I use a portable light on a stand as I can move it around as needed, and the more you shine it Down a surface, the more it shows the defects. If you get a chance, send us some pictures of one of the rooms. Before and after, or just after, and I'll feature it on my Facebook page at: facebook.com/profile.php?id=709003475845845&ref=br_rs and other places like my website, etc. I love customer before and after pics.

      I do understand fully. It's soo much more work than most people realize. I've had to quit doing them entirely due to my vertigo not going away so trying to do this channel full time. I would say though that doing an overlay is NOT easy. If I have a choice, I would go with removal any day. OR consider tongue and groove ceiling boards. Good luck, and keep me posted.

    I lived in a house that had silver glitter popcorn ceilings. I personally thought it was beautiful. I was young, in my teens and I lived there at least a year before I realized it lol.
    My little brother and I would tease our friends and joke how we didn't see the glitter lol. Some would get so bent out of shape trying to figure out if we were kidding or not. Too funny. Thanks for reminding me!

    My attached garage was converted to an extra room in the 1970s,and I used it as a business office / recording studio and it has the popcorn ceiling. In 2014, I repainted the entire room, added cedar wood trim and painted the ceiling with white paint and it looks great. It's the only room in the house that has this type of ceiling so I am going to leave it alone. But thank you for the video, I may get a wild hair one day and decide to re-do the room.

    Finally someone who addresses the drywall tape at the edges and cleaning it up! I've scraped almost every room in our house and managed to keep the tape in pretty good shape, but it was a real surprise in the beginning and freaked me out. We'll probably put up crown molding still to better cover the popcorn I didn't quite get out of the crack. Thanks for your videos! I also scraped my ceilings barefoot! Haha

      Mary, thanks so much for the comment. And I find it silly why people get so worked up over me working barefoot. It’s not like there are boards with nails laying around it’s a carpeted floor most of the time or plastic in this case. Good luck with the crown molding if you go that route, and be sure and study the technique well as it’s kind of tricky to make the miter cuts. Thanks again, Guy

  • @mattwilliamson1714

    Video was fine... great explanation for anyone that's never done this.
    We used a small paint sprayer (Graco 395) with a 2' wand for getting water on the ceiling (Dawn or Krud Kutter if there was paint, just water if there wasn't any), and my partner was doing it this way when I joined him. I wasn't good from the ground with the 10", but one day I was stilted up (just taped all the ceilings) and asked him to hand me a 6" knife for each hand, to see if I could do it better... wow was it a cleaner, faster job and the ceiling looked like it had just been mudded & taped. For everyone after that first one, we'd have a king-sized mattress bag hanging on 4 corners of a 6'x2' scaffold and we made bank cleaning those.
    My partner would pull the scaffold around the room in front of me. Got where I could drop ~95% of the popcorn in the bag. Hardly left anything on the ceiling. (We had the Porter Cable, but after it dried, just a quick dusting (under a minute per room) with a Radius360 sanding pole would get it clean enough to skim or prime (depending on how bad the original ceiling was). Best part was, since most of the popcorn was in the bag and we used a paint sprayer, very little spray fell down, so the floor stayed pretty dry. We'd sweep the small amount that hit the floor to the corners and get that the next day, but since the huge bag of popcorn (from the entire job) was sitting on the scaffold boards, we could roll the entire thing outside to a dumpster and throw it away.
    I haven't done it since my 40s, and he's long since retired (in his lower 90s now), but with young shoulders pushing two 6"s on stilts, it was really fast & effective.

  • @daniellindsay733
    @daniellindsay733 4 роки тому +7

    Nice and thorough description! I dealt with my 'popcorn' several years ago on my 3600 sq ft house. I used a bit different method to minimize the mess. I emptied out the room first, laid down rosin paper, and using a garden sprayer, a scaffold (particularly important for my 10 ft high ceilings in some rooms) and two tools. I used the same 6" bladed, round putty knife blade seen in your right pocket, which I rounded the corners on first. I then took a paint roller tray (metal). Holding the putty knife in one hand and the paint roller tray in the other, I scrapped the asbestos-laden popcorn a section at a time. I used my garden sprayer to wet the ceiling, a section at a time. Perhaps I had a bit of an advantage over others--my popcorn was laid down (up?) over a masonry-mortar ceiling which encapsulated the tiny wires in my radiant heat ceiling. (House is vintage 1967 in Southern California). Wearing a respirator and glasses for safety, I would scrap the moistened popcorn into my roller tray, and as it would fill, I would dump the tray's contents occasionally into a kitchen trash bag which, when full, wasn't stupidly heavy. My goal here was to avoid getting this stuff into the air, and leaving a mess on the floor. To me, it saves a significant step--clean up! I avoid getting this stuff into the air as it only falls about 12-18 inches into my paint tray, rather than 8-10 feet to the floor below. Being the owner-operator, I was able to legally dump all of this popcorn material (even with asbestos) into my garage can and my local trash company hauled it away like any trash. Once the ceiling was thoroughly dry, I would go after it with a standard kitchen broom to remove any more of the loose stuff. Rolling up the rosin paper, into the trash it went as well. I didn't own a shop vac at the time so you can do this quite simply with the minimum of tools. (1) Respirator, (2) 6" putty knife, (3) paint roller pan, and (4) a bunch of kitchen trash bags. Remember to check your local regulations regarding doing this yourself, and how you may legally dispose of this stuff. I figure I saved a small fortune because I understand that when you hire a professional to do this, they have to follow a myriad of OSHA rules and regulations that drive up the cost! Thanks for sharing. Go Air Force (me too).

We are suddenly being kicked out of our rental due to the sale of the home, (we were planning on buying next summer) and I'm having some tough medical issues such as Prostate Cancer, Permanent Vertigo, Restless Legs, Neuropathy (nerve damage) etc. So we put out a video explaining this and many of you asked us to create a Gofundme so you could say thanks for all the help I've given you on these videos, my comments, etc. I really hesitated, as I hate asking for donations, but then you said it wasn't a donation, it was a way for you to say thanks.

    I was in my daughters newly purchased condo(circa 1988) and was going to add drywall to existing popcorn ceiling however I found out the original ceiling was not fastened to studs but rather a grid system which in turn was attached to trusses. I decided that adding the extra weight to the original ceiling would not be a good idea. I eventually scrapped the ceiling and after watching your video, I discovered that I was not putting enough water on it.
    I ended up doing more sanding because of it and skim coated the entire ceiling and re-sanded. The ceiling came out nice but a lot of work for one room. Four more rooms to go! Hopefully the remainder will go more smoothly (pun intended).
    Thanks for your video.

    • @ThatKiltedGuyDIY
      @ThatKiltedGuyDIY  5 років тому +1

      Hi, it sounds like that ceiling probably had RC channel which is a sound deadening technique. It’s probably a good idea that you didn’t put the extra layer on there. I’m glad you were able to scrape it and yes a lot of people don’t put enough water on and that makes it much harder.
      Usually, actually about 99% of the time, I don’t have any need for skim coating an entire ceiling. I just re-coat the joints that existed and smooth out any gouges & defects.
      Anyway, I’m glad you got something out of the video. Thanks for the comment. I’ll catch you on the next one, Guy Purcella

    Some paint stores get their paint shipped to them in a shallow cardboard caddy. It holds (4) 1 gallon cans of paint. I use this caddy to catch the acoustic as I scrape it off the ceiling. It works fantastically well and eliminates 90% of the mess. At first look, you might think it won't hold enough scrapings to be useful, but it is. As it fills up, I dump it out into a medium size uhaul moving box. When I'm finished scraping, I just dump the larger box out into the dumpster. I highly recommend trying this method.

    I used the hose from my yard with a two way adjustable sprayer I adjusted the water pressure and the spray pattern I wanted outside in the yard. When I was happy with the pressure and the spray I turned off the water from the nozzle adjustment . I put the hose through the window or door of the room I was working on, I put plastic down on the carpet or floor I only had to work the on-and-off on the sprayer nozzle. Spray the ceiling while it was soaking in and softening up I took some towels and wipe down the walls. By then the ceiling was ready to be scraped it went quick and easy. I was done. The biggest problem I had was the stuff from the ceiling sticking to the bottom of my shoes, I used a scraping to scrape off the bottom of my shoes a lot. When I was done, I rolled up the plastic put it all in the trash can. It took about an hour maybe a little more. Then got ready to tape and texture and paint.

    I have removed much acoustic over the years. Your video is really thorough for those looking for advice. Grocery bags over the shoes is helpful. I like using the scraper with a bag mounted on it, like the unit Homax sells. It takes a little longer to scrape but a lot less of a clean up later, although I do like the idea of getting her scraped in one go.

      JAH, it actually happens a lot. I always use the green frogtape now as it's less likely to damage the wall, but if it happens, I just touch it up with paint, or repair the missing mud if that happens, and then paint it.

    I sprayed thousands of gallons of acoustic in my day also ,started with hopper then trailer rigs to a skid mount truck rig would spray 3-4 houses a day. Hello from CO-Springs

    • @ThatKiltedGuyDIY
      @ThatKiltedGuyDIY  4 роки тому +6

      Hello from Grand Jct. I actually didn't do as much of the spraying back then as my dad preferred to do it, but we did it a bunch of different ways. In 1974 he moved us here from Eagle CO. While in Eagle he did a lot of work for George Shaw, of Shaw construction and ran a crew of about 50 guys doing a LOT of the condos and such in Vail and other ski areas. (His name was George Purcella). At one point I think at least 3 of my dads brothers worked with him up there and they even had a family band playing country music. It was while in Eagle that I first did drywall at age 8, walking on stilts, spotting nails, lol.
      He got tired of the big crews and moved us to GJ and opened up the 1st Big O tire store in town. He sold that after a few years and went back into drywall.
      So we started out spraying by mixing acoustic in 55 gallon drums in the back of a Datsun Pickup and dumping it into a pro style sprayer but it was one your could pull by hand, with an auger and heavy hose. Then he got a Trailer rig again with the dual tanks. My first time spraying was a hopper when the big rig was broke down and we had to spray an entire big house with a hopper, so he made me take turns, lol. Not a fun way to learn as my arm killed me, but it's funny now. We were down to just my dad, me, my uncle and my cousin Earl who was 6 months younger than me. Good memories. Thanks the reply. Guy

    Excellent video , my son is a plastering contractor, and he just plastered my ceilings over the popcorn and it came out beautiful, the plaster was white and i did not have to paint. He has never had to scrape a ceiling and he has done many, many homes. He said it is now a new method and hardly no one scrapes anymore.

    I like the hose clamps on the extention pole. That had never occurred to me before. I use tape to fasten my knifes to extention poles. With smaller blades sometimes I take the based out of the handle and epoxy thread inserts insede them so they thread directly on the pole.

    • @ThatKiltedGuyDIY
      @ThatKiltedGuyDIY  4 роки тому +7

      Kyle, I've taped knives to poles hundreds of times, so that's how I used to do it to. I sprayed the popcorn with my dad in the 70s and we sometimes needed to reach way high to scrape it off the walls after spraying, or to reach high to knocdown the texture and masking tape did it. But once I started removing it I wanted efficienct and fast and the hose clamps did that, plus they hold tighter. Never thought about epoxy but that sound interesting too. Thanks 😎👣

    I got lucky when we did our house. My husband did the upstairs (main floor) and I got the downstairs which at the time was only one huge room and a bathroom. We later turned it into a den with 4th bedroom BUT anyways, it's was over concrete. I just brought the garden hose in, misted the ceiling, and walked back and forth knocking it right off. It was kind of fun even tho not super fun for my aching rotator cuffs lol.

    Did most of my house about 15 years ago wish I would have sanded like you showed. I did most of the house wet but did one of the bedrooms dry and I must say if you can scrape it dry you do much less damage. The finish of the dry scrape needed very little Finnish work. I only did my house so there mite be big differences from houses but I would try to start dry but there is some dust when dry not as much as you mite think tho. Any way thanks for the video I was glad to see I did it correctly.
