bikeman564™ Posted July 7, 2015 Share #1 Posted July 7, 2015 that was damaged from the leaky roof. It's a 4' x 4' area. Then I'll need to paint. And my entire condo has a textured ceiling that was knocked down (that's a painting technique). Looks good, just hope I can match it to look some what 1/2 ass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Road Runner Posted July 7, 2015 Share #5 Posted July 7, 2015 Good luck on trying to match that.That was my first thought. That surface looks like a special spray on coating? They have stuff to try to match the popcorn, but I'm not familiar with that surface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saved a piece of drywall and will take it to the Home Depot for assistance. It'll probably look like crap but I don't really care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kzoo Posted July 7, 2015 Share #7 Posted July 7, 2015 On a previous house I had built, the drywall finisher sprayed the ceilings and then came back a day later and used a large power roller on it that shaved the small lumps all down to the same thickness - quick and easy. They did the same thing in all the closets. There was a room in the basement that they did it to that was not specified for. They had to come back and they used the same roller to shave it down to the paper and then did a light sand.On a previous house I had a very small section of ceiling that a crack developed about 3 months after we moved in. I tried to fix it the way you say but there was no way I could get it to match. Luckly, it was in a very out of the way area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thaddeus Kosciuszko Posted July 7, 2015 Share #13 Posted July 7, 2015 Did you know that the 'snow' from the poppy scene in the Wizard of Oz was asbestos?Curiously, it looked just like that white stuff in your ceiling there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
