How to apply
- Remove loose, crumbling texture with a putty knife. For water damage, remove texture about 1 inch past the damage and prime with a shellac primer such as Zinsser B-I-N.
- Stir 10 seconds. If too dry, add up to 4 tablespoons of water until a dipped brush holds product without dripping.
- Dab it on with a soft bristle brush, working from the outside in, and move the aggregate to match the ceiling. Protect the wall with a 6 inch knife where texture meets the wall.
- Let the repair dry 24-48 hours. Clean hands and tools with warm soapy water.
Good to know
Painting is not necessary; the patch is formulated to blend with the existing ceiling texture. Read the Popcorn Ceiling Patch technical data sheet.
