@@homemend Thanks! Exactly what I was looking for! I was dreading this repair, but you've given me the confidence I needed. I searched on "how to repair a drywall seam crack in a popcorn ceiling".
This is the BEST channel on RUclips for home projects. I'm sharing you with everyone. Since I subscribed I've been playing catch-up with all your videos. Fantastic.!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow man, this is a very thorough repair job. I know its an old video but wow amazing! Im subscribing. I live in apartments and the repair guy sprayed the ceiling with flex seal and spray painted it white. This video does the job perfect and in less time too!
Thank you for these videos. I have been scammed by 2 different contractors who never finished but were paid for work to my house. As a disabled woman, I was so discouraged and felt hopeless. These videos have given me hope that I can try to do them myself.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! You made this look so easy. I’ve reached out to 3 painting companies and no one is returning my call. I’ll be doing this myself. Great video!!!
Ceiling came together by being motivated by You...Thanks. And stepping back and taking MY time to do this ceiling the correct way! I’m even proud of my work. My Wife is! That’s the test!
Wow, what an amazing video. I am a single woman and have to do a lot of repairs on my own, which I don't mind because it's good information to know and I can stand back and think, "I did that". Thank you.

This is amazing Dustin. I wish I had come across your video months ago. I knew there had to be a better fix/patch than what I have received. Thank you.
Hey Jon thank you so much. That’s the beauty of Evergreen content my friend. Until they find a new way to repair popcorn ceiling, this will work. Thanks so much for commenting
Just bought a condo and noticed on inspection that a patch of popcorn was missing. I'll be giving it a try myself now! I have a feeling I'll be using quite a bit of your videos in the upcoming months😉 Thanks!
For better results you should put a white primer coat underneath. Helps the 'popcorn' materials stick (its doesn't stick that well to joint compound or bare wallboard), and its white so it doesn't take as much texture material to cover the gray-colored wallboard. As others mention, it doesn't always work so its best used in inconspicuous areas (above the door like he did is a good place to do it).
Great video, I spray painted a popcorn ceiling only to have the popcorn start falling off the ceiling , scraped it back but the areas are 3x3 in 3 sections, nightmare , and now losing money on what was supposed to be fast and easy job. This will be my last paint job on a popcorn ceiling. You just open yourself up for problems. Best thing to do is remove the popcorn, and skim coat the ceiling with joint compound, more work, more money and very messy but worth it. Popcorn is no fun unless it’s at the movies.
Wow that’s crazy Scott. There were a couple methods I used one is obviously the spray but if that was taking the popcorn down that sound like a mess. The other option I use is a foam roller cover and it has slits in it all threw out so it can get into the crevices in the details of the popcorn ceiling. They can be a bear. I’ve had one where we had to rehang the entire ceiling just to make it look nice, A great use of quarter inch drywall, you can just go right over top. Thank you for sharing Scott
I’m pretty sure he is talking about the popcorn texture falling off a little while after he painted it with a airless . Reason for that was you didn’t seal the popcorn before you painted it . A latex paint is water base ..... how do you remove popcorn ? With water !! The latex paint acted as water and loosened up the bond it had with the drywall and a little bit after you sprayed the ceiling and cleaned up your airless , he walked back into the room to pull the plastic and popcorn was just hanging down from the ceiling ....so what’s the trick to make sure it don’t happen again you ask !!! Well their are a few. 1.) pray and ask god to please let the paint dry before it soaks so deep that the texture losses it bond . you typically will be safe painting them but id say 3 out of every 10 will give you that result 2.) prime before the popcorn is applied or add primer to the popcorn before you apply it to the drywall . Yes that means putting primer into your mixing bucket and then adding your popcorn powder mix to it and whipping it up and shooting like that or you can mix it in your paint color instead of the primer and knock it out like that but i recommend using primer for a good bond then spraying with a airless . Or 3) don’t spray it so heavy when painting . Move the gun faster but constantly if your not sure if it’s sealed or was primed before or while being applied . Or 4,) you can seal it before you paint with your pure white or behr ultra pure white that you used the first time . Was I right about the color ? Hope this helped ..... check out my one video on my page I plan on adding more . And to the OP , nice video brother . Keep pushing that mud !
Exelente muchacho! (YOUNG MAN!) I LIKE YOUR TECHNIQUE, ABOUT FEDERING THE EDGES AND SO IT BECOMES SEAMLESS FINAL RESULT, THE BEST VIDEO FOR POPCORN CEILING REPAIR MA FRIEND!
This video is extremely helpful! My buddy gave me the roll on popcorn but it’s not as coarse as the original popcorn. Maybe I should ditch the roll on and try the spray? Hopefully Lowe’s has this spray stuff.
Thank you for a great video. We tried it, everything went all right except the popcorn spray from the can - our didn't have enough pressure and created a lot of mess! Could you, please, tell what brand of the popcorn spray you used on the video? Thank you.
I had the very same problem with a can of Homax popcorn spray. The can ran out of gas halfway through the contents and didn't go on smoothly at all. The mess was awful.
Great vid! We have popcorn ceiling in the master bath that has started to fall off in 3 cantaloupe sized spots over the shower. Best fix at this point?
Hey sky. I’m guessing that would depend on how easily it’s coming off. If it was in the bathroom chances are it’s been taking moisture for years and may come off easy. If it’s a small section or maybe even one cantaloupes size section I would try to patch it but if it’s coming off easy and in other places I would scrape it down, skim coat and paint it. There is a video :-) I hope this helps
Thanks for amazing video... Exactly what I was looking for... Is it hairmoose you are using or just empty bottle filled with paint. Please reply.. I am in the middle of this. Thank you😀
hey kapil! they come in a spray can..popcorn texture homax is the brand...there should be a link in the description or the depot has them in the paint dept.. :)
Instead of using your fingers - Smoothing the patch repair area edges is easy with a standard damp (not wet) soft bristle paint brush. It's called feathering the edges.
If all there is a noticable stain on the ceiling and we removed the popcorn texture can we just apply the spray texture and repaint the whole ceiling? Or can we just use a shellac over the stain then use the popcorn spray texture over it? Please advise.
hey summer... just a stain?..i like the zinnser stain kill because it dries flat white, kilz dries shiny so its noticable. you should stain kill any stain because it may be seen through the new texture. i hope this helps!
hey tone...it only covers about 2 square ft i believe...make sure its shaken really well and apply it the way i did...unless you hire popcorn guys...the homax is the only product i know of..i hope this helps :)
Adventures of a Handyman don't be afraid my friend! People love to host you doing a video. Just make sure you tell them to stay outta your shot! Lol. Thanks for sharing!
skh1825 Hey hey! I will typically use like a stain blocker something like kilz or cover up. It just takes it back to the white ceiling tone and prevents any bleedthrough if it was a previous stain from a leak. You can also use kills to kind of blend the ceiling after the popcorn repair has dried if it’s noticeably different. I hope this helps and thank you So much for commenting.
Hi James. For it to look flawless yes he would need to paint the entire ceiling however you can feather the paint on with some thing like upshot or spray kills and kind of blend it so it’s un noticeable. I hope this helps!
Question for you.. say the ceiling isn’t level all the way across... when you put the drywall patch into place, one side is flush with the ceiling, and it lines up nicely along the sides, but the opposite end is about 1/4 of an inch lower than the existing ceiling(the patch is screwed into the joists so it cannot move up nay higher at that end), what would you do?
Hey Steve I used five minute mud and put a fan on it so it should dry pretty quickly. If you’re using the green or blue top bucket premixed, you may have to wait a little while. It will dry bright white and you’ll know it’s dry
Hey Ricardo good question. You can cut a piece of wood slightly bigger than the whole slip it in and secure it on both ends and then have something to secure your patch to
Home Mender Inc we only have homax cans here.. I find the knockdown can is crappy .Hopefully popcorn works better .If not im doing it with a knife and sponge. Too small to bring in a hopper.
My mom has a really old home and ended up with a leak in one of the bedrooms. After it as fixed her ceiling had a nasty crack in it that I'm unsure how to patch since it doesn't seem to have drywall but a metal strip and concrete.... What would be the best way to patch it? Oh and it also has the fabulous popcorn crap as well....
hi beth.. you can use that 5 minute mud to fill the gap a little at a time until its smooth enough to coat with popcorn.. if its a large gap, you may need to secure a strip of drywall to make it right.. i hope this helps!
Home Mender Inc Yes it does thank you, I've patched many drywall holes but haven't dealt with the metal mesh before so i was kinda looking forward to the challenge lol Thanks again
Hey.. any big box store will have the stuff. 5 minute mud, its a powder usually comes in a small bag or box. Have to use it quick or it will set in your pan. If you dont have much experience i would get the 20 minute mud. The spray is from the paint aisle, called popcorn texture. the brand is usually Homax. Hope this helps! thanks for watching.
hey 2, it would be best to use painters caulk on a thin crack.. if its a bad crack you may need to scrape the popcorn off and apply some mesh tape..etc..then apply texture. if you need it, theres a crack video below:) ruclips.net/video/yk6EvKpiG7U/видео.html
My ceiling in my rental had water damage. They want to popcorn the area, but in my completely furnished with brand new furniture and tons of plants apt!! Is that advisable to do with a furnished room? I have the option to opt-out of the popcorn and just touch up the paint. I am afraid they could damage my new furniture and art!
Hey Doreen depending on how big the damage is I’m guessing. You don’t want your rental property to look bad and it’s easy to do with the popcorn ceiling.I would protect everything with plastic sheeting and then repair as needed. I hope this helps
@@homemend I do have the option to opt out and just paint it. I might do only the painting as it isn't that thickly textured and they can spray the popcorn when I move out. It is a small area. I just don't trust anyone with my new stuff. It was damage from another tenants floor above me. My handyman can touch it up with paint & primer. It is freaking me out that the spray can get on something and ruin it. I used to clean after construction and I saw all the drips etc!!

Question for you.. say the ceiling isn’t level all the way across... when you put the drywall patch into place, one side is flush with the ceiling, and it lines up nicely along the sides, but the opposite end is about 1/4 of an inch lower than the existing ceiling(the patch is screwed into the joists so it cannot move up nay higher at that end), what would you do?
Hey Mira. You could use thinner drywalll or just notch out the back where it contacts the stud so it will lay flush. You got this!
@@homemend I'll try the notch out... I wasn't sure if it would be okay to do that, but I trust your advice! Thank you!
How do you match the popcorn color when existing is little darker than what’s coming out of the can?
Hey nick! I like to feather it out with the spray zinnser stain blocker dries flat white and if you feather it, it can blend nicely.
good job

I add a little bit of caulking to the edges of the old popcorn so it won't continue peeling . But other than that thanks for the video

Just to confirm the mud needs to be completely dry before applying a second coat? 24 hours?
Hey Steve I used five minute mud and put a fan on it so it should dry pretty quickly. If you’re using the green or blue top bucket premixed, you may have to wait a little while. It will dry bright white and you’ll know it’s dry

Hey.. any big box store will have the stuff. 5 minute mud, its a powder usually comes in a small bag or box. Have to use it quick or it will set in your pan. If you dont have much experience i would get the 20 minute mud.
The spray is from the paint aisle, called popcorn texture. the brand is usually Homax. Hope this helps! thanks for watching.
Home Mender Inc ah ok, thank you 😊😊
I’ve found going in a quick circular motion works well. Not much in a can.
hey robert..they can be tricky..thanks for the suggestion!
Good job thx

Thanks for u help
no problem samir! glad we could and thanks for watching!
Hey! What kind of spray do you recommend, the home depot kind sucks lol
finesse my friend..th homax is the one i used... the sweep stop method works..and you gotta have that little blue tip on it! hope this helps red
@@homemend Thank you, I'll defiantly try again tomorrow. The second I stopped spraying the end clogged up lol.
Can i add some of that to just cover a crack?
hey 2, it would be best to use painters caulk on a thin crack.. if its a bad crack you may need to scrape the popcorn off and apply some mesh tape..etc..then apply texture. if you need it, theres a crack video below:)

My ceiling in my rental had water damage. They want to popcorn the area, but in my completely furnished with brand new furniture and tons of plants apt!! Is that advisable to do with a furnished room? I have the option to opt-out of the popcorn and just touch up the paint. I am afraid they could damage my new furniture and art!
Hey Doreen depending on how big the damage is I’m guessing. You don’t want your rental property to look bad and it’s easy to do with the popcorn ceiling.I would protect everything with plastic sheeting and then repair as needed. I hope this helps
@@homemend I do have the option to opt out and just paint it. I might do only the painting as it isn't that thickly textured and they can spray the popcorn when I move out. It is a small area. I just don't trust anyone with my new stuff. It was damage from another tenants floor above me. My handyman can touch it up with paint & primer. It is freaking me out that the spray can get on something and ruin it. I used to clean after construction and I saw all the drips etc!!
This homax can in the video is water soluble and easy clean up if that helps.
@@homemend So if that popcorn stuff gets on furniture it can be wiped off? Why does it smell so nasty, like toxic chemicals?
I tried to; repair popco;rn ceiling using HOMAX CEILING TEXTURE got my hand covered with the crap but never touched the ceiling
hey tinker...that little blue tip...very important!
