Popcorn Ceiling Repair Patch (The right way!)
Вставка

- In this short video, we repaired an old popcorn ceiling with the help of the Graco Texspray.
After repairing the drywall, apply a quick pass of fast setting drywall compound. Using Adfors FibaFuse Fiberglass drywall tape, skim out the patch so it is flat with the existing ceiling. Use a wet sponge to feather the edges.
While the patch is drying, begin mixing the textured compound.
Be sure to tape off the surrounding area. We used Trimaco Self adhering plastic film roll.
Adjust the knob on the back of the gun to your desired finish by making multiple test passes. Once you have matched the textured finish, begin spraying with short sweeping passes, making sure to not to apply too heavy in some areas. Leaving some time for the compound to dry in between coats. The compound will shrink up as it dries and will reveal more of the tiny bumps you see in the texture so be careful not to overspray. After fully curing, the patch was completely undetectable
Wow, prob my fav. how-to video ever! No stupid, distracting music. No boring, excessive talking. Just SHOW ME WHAT TO DO.
Kudos to you man.
other than the fact he didnt float it out enough you can still see the square
That is the best popcorn patch repair job I have ever seen.
Why would anyone ever opt for popcorn, a bunch of my job is removing that ugly texture, popcorn is used to hide ugly uneven seams
@@mjm7071 NOISE. Sorry for shouting, but NOISE is a great reason for popcorn ceilings. Remove the texturing on the ceiling and put in a tile floor and behold, you have an echo chamber.
I'm here, cause I gotta patch and repair a popcorn ceiling this weekend
Wow! Looks amazing! Obviously once it dries it’ll whiten more. Idk what people are complaining about. Great job 👏🏼
I’ve seen many videos and some are just painful to watch as the results were terrible. This is excellent work. Done right!
Looks easy with the right tools, Yeah right !! This is a lot of experience and talent and using the right tools.
Blending with the rest of the ceiling is the most impressive.
Someone canonize this guy into a saint! Great repair job!
This is how you really do it. Good job 👏
1st real popcorn repair video I've seen! Thank you
That pump he is using is in between 4-6 thousand dollars, if you're on a budget wall board tools sells a texture sprayer for about $100 and you need an air compressor but lot cheaper! Great work though how it should be done!
Great repair job.
Anyway,popcorn ceiling shoul be fucking illegal
Only if it's asbestos. Newer products don't contain ass best oze :)
No explaination of materials used... No words, period. Like what was that mess looking material you put over the patch and why did you need it? Did you use drywall mud or joint compound? Premixed or dry? Lot of questions that should have been addressed in the video.
😂
You act like you paid to watch this.
This was more of a video for folks who already know how to patch drywall but don't know how to fix the texture after. I took a lot from this.
That mesh is 100% polyester, it can be used to seem joints for waterproofing showers and is mainly used for roofing it's very strong and crack resistant
Simply excellent for a rush patch/repair. I bet it looked fantastic these next day. Thanks for sharing!
WOW! I'm in construction and that is a great repair!
Wow looks good. One thing I would like to try.
It would have been nice if you would explain what you were doing while taping this video
Ill do a version 2.0. This was actually a rush job and the process used was mainly for speed. There are ways of making it “better” but it also takes more time
I was just thinking the same
Excellent work!
Nice. The last time I did a popcorn ceiling I believe that I missed a step. I didn't add the joint compound into the mixture. Your job looks great. Because my eye is trained to see it, I can see a slight bulge where you scabbed the sheetrock in. I know the client was satisfied. I'm in the middle of repairing a popcorn ceiling so I will remember to add a pancake batter-like consistency of mud to the mixture. Another thing I noticed, you guys used the mesh from a 40" roll, right? I had that roll years ago but it's hard to find. It sure helped me on plenty of jobs.
Sean Wright you are right that there is a slight bulge where it meets existing texture, because you have to sand that texture to blend it, but we also took the final video shot right after so it was still very wet. The texture shrinks back slightly due to its very high water content. It looks a lot tighter now. Not as perfect as redoing the whole ceiling, but a patch is a patch. The roll is a current product its called fibafuse which is more of a fiberglass fleece, not a mesh. It skims a lot tighter
I see the seams on the right side bulges down 1/8 of a "
@@hellrazor3441 yeah. I noticed it. I'm pretty sure the client still was happy.
Fibafuse 36"×150' roll
I did a couple of patches but I did not know about the mesh.
I just scraped the popcorn off a cut bit away from the piece I cut out. It was about the same size as that.
I then muddled and flared out to where I scraped the popcorn off, skimmed it then sprayed.
I was very satisfied the way it turned out being my only second time using my hopper.
Doing one now that I did not scrape the popcorn back as far as I did the other two patches.
Not sure how it is going to turn out.
Now that I think about it, I am not sure I skimmed the whole piece. I did use the same thickness of drywall though.
Looks like you used a thinner piece. Did you?
Also, I knew nothing about mixing mud with it that I can remember. Might try that, if that is what you did. Or, did you just use mud by itself?
That was cool. What was that plastic sheet he used? I also noticed that he didn’t need to use tape on the joints.
What was the sheet that you laid on top of the mud ? Is it the same material that tapes made out of ? Where can I purchase some?
good video, just one question, Is that a special mud for popcorn on the ceiling?
Can you do this without the spray gun?
dont try this yourself these are pros in action great job
No paint to match the color between the patch and the old popcorn?
Good video, I hate popcorn ceilings if I have a house I would take all that s**t out it looks like houses from the 70's new houses don't used that stuff.
I never seen anybody use mash that wide
I got about 22 years of drywalling, customer services (patch). Repair joints by skin coating all ceiling and respray or patch
Does this hopper work with popcorn ceiling texture? It doesn’t work for me! Had to borrow a different hopper.
As good as that was, I could still see the patch. It drives me crazy.
That shot was like 2 minutes after cleaning up. Still wet so it would be very visible. As it dries it shrinks tighter and gets lighter as well. The customer said it looked good after no need to paint. It was just a quick patch as they didnt want to strip the whole ceiling
Nicely done
That was just fantastic.
How much does one charge to repair this?
is there like a diy affordable version of these tools ?
Most texture guns require a large air compressor so you kind of need both, but in terms of a cheaper solution there are texturing cans sold with various tips at home centers, check out homax ceiling texture
I have that rig! Awesome!
Hey Good job, what is that plastic that you put after the sheetrock ?
Thats what i was wondering.
Its fiberfuse sheet, its a type of tape
@@whiteboywskillz exactly right
Over kill
Way way way overkill. This could be considered structural. Haha good job.
Looks nice, but didn’t learn from it.
Thats fair, i didnt have much time on this one to explain steps but i might do a new video soon.
what is the model number and type of sprayer?
I use the same fibafuse
Man I bought this rig a few months ago instead of a big bulky goldblatt .... But I was ready to throw the thing across the room yesterday on a repair. Just went back to hopper and compressor. Can you do a video describing how you're adjusting the pressure to match repairs? Are you letting the popcorn soak or did you just mix it up and go... When I tried to spray it with low air pressure it was just like violent diarrhea... Switched back to hopper bucket and sprayed perfect
@Sancho Pansa here we go another w3t back who thinks he knows drywall.
@@chris-pm5oy How do you get popcorn out of a klan robe?
@@nixonwasframed all drywall mud can easily be removed with just water
Which gun is that? I like that it’s a closed top.
Nice pro job
No primer applied ? Did you mix the white paint in with the QT?
I find when you prime you see the exact square you repaired
What did you charge for that? And how much today for the same thing?
The right way costs too much , let’s proceed with the can way 😂
What type of sprayer are you using??
No drywall tape? Not worried the joint will crack?
Thats a fibafuse patch, its like a big piece of tape in a way. Covers all the joints at once
@@Toolaholic Thanks for the info!
What’s the tape used with the mud called ?
Darn. I can see it.
Its because it was fresh still, it shrinks back as the water evaporates, it will lose around 50% of its size.
Why didn’t you tape those lines? It’s driving me nuts, you need to use drywall tape or it can crack out.
That's what I was thinking
He used the Fiberglass which is a lot stronger than tape...
@@sigmundfreud1872 nah fiberglass may be inherently stronger but it cracks easier. I dont think any pros use it.
where can i get that roll of FibaFuse Fiberglass?
Did you paint the whole ceiling white after or you didn't need to?
Cobra Karl we didnt paint the ceiling as the existing was not painted, but it does help to blend old to new as aging can yellow popcorn
I just $70 on two small cans of texture spray...... Literally only covers 8 sq at most per can.
Still look where the patch went
Quedo como tecata de naranja
😂, start with buying a expensive tool 😂😂😂
Good job bro. You put way too much quickset 😅
Why was there a hole in your celing anyway?
Plumbing leak
Can I ask what scares you so much that you wear a mask while doing drywall work? :)
Look up silica dangers. I wear a mask for almost everything construction related.
@@Toolaholic Too much water can kill you too, people drown every day :)
What is the ratio
You don't just tape the seams? You put fiberglass mesh/mat over the whole patch? What happens if you just use 2" tape on the seams? Does the texture fall off in places?
The mat covers the seams its basically a giant piece of tape. You also have the added benefit of not needing to fill the center
What does the sponge do??
It feathers the edges to blend.
Popcorn ceilings are the worst idea anyone has ever had since the beginning of interior design
He filled the gap without drywall tape its nit done correctly
Wrong. Look up fibafuse. Thats what was used as a complete patch
Right way... Make it flat. Upgrade
Should have painted it first but otherwise good job
Niiiiice
You can see the patch dog
Lol its still wet, it shrinks back just like any drywall compound
I can still see the patch . All that work for nothing .!! Nice rig tho . Maybe next time
Final shot was minutes after completion, the material shrinks as it dries, also the colour changes. Client was happy with the final result. It was a quick repair job, but there are ways of hiding it further if needed
No tape? Taking a chance it'll crack.
Thats a full overlay of fibafuse, its like taping the whole surface. Much stronger than paper tape
I can still see a square where the repair was done. Not exactly perfect. This is why it is best to use good old fashioned joint tape and mud over the repair with multiple coats of joint compound. This lazy method of using a square piece of insulation is what doomed this repair from the start. All the positive comments are from DIYers who don't know any better.
Can you show us the wrong way now?
EXPLAIN
Probably charged them over 1k just for the patch. 👎
Step 4. But a 2800 dollar machine. Lol.
Thats a fair point, but you can also buy just the hopper and use your own compressor
Only someone who shouldn't paint uses a spray gun. Waste of time, tape, plastic, money, electric.
PRIMO WORK!
Left out the important step of feathering/tapering the edge of the old texture so you can truly blend in the patch. Scrape the old texture back 12" wide taper that goes to zero at the patch all the way around and you can blend the old with the new. Plus, why the mesh? Makes no sense the only place it is doing anything is at the joint so just scrape the old texture away from the joint and tape like normal. You created a lump then textured over the lump. Totally see the patch outline. Nice try to hide it from distance camera angle. Fail. Sorry to be so harsh but if you are claiming the right way, do it the right way.
This was a quick patch for a client listing the home. The reason it looks lumped is because its wet, it actually shrinks back considerably when dry because texture is sprayed on extremely wet, the video was taken moments after clean up. The mesh is not mesh, its a fiberglass fleece and the reason its nicer to run a full patch is because you dont have to infill the center. Trust me when i say, the patch was much flatter when dry. Is it perfect, nothing will ever be, its a blended patch.
texture in a can $15 ouch my wallet
Wearing a mask while tape/floating is laughable.
No time to test, old house, wore as a precaution for asbestos.
He does not speak English leave my primo alone
Terrible job. Won't last. Didn't use joint tape
