Popcorn Ceiling Repair Patch (The right way!)

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! Looks amazing! Obviously once it dries it’ll whiten more. Idk what people are complaining about. Great job 👏🏼

I'm here, cause I gotta patch and repair a popcorn ceiling this weekend

[johnly]

I’ve seen many videos and some are just painful to watch as the results were terrible. This is excellent work. Done right!

[InCountry]

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.

[harrycock]

WOW! I'm in construction and that is a great repair!

[Ahmetminnich]

Can you do this without the spray gun?

[shanewooll]

Simply excellent for a rush patch/repair. I bet it looked fantastic these next day. Thanks for sharing!

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!

[simonktmwong]

Wow looks good. One thing I would like to try.

[rrando]

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.

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?

[MexSider]

good video, just one question, Is that a special mud for popcorn on the ceiling?

[Toasty_]

That was cool. What was that plastic sheet he used? I also noticed that he didn’t need to use tape on the joints.

No paint to match the color between the patch and the old popcorn?
