Textured ceilings?
Mar 11, 2008 by stan | Posted in Decorating & Remodeling
I posted a question previously about how to strip a textured ceiling,i have subsequently tried using a steamer but found it hard and laborious work.
I am therefore thinking about using a block and sandpaper to take off the high spots of the texture,trying to get it as smooth as possible but am left wondering that if i wanted to paper the ceiling would the paste and paper 'take' to the newly prepared ceiling?
Oh boy I bet your arms feel like they are falling off
Try using a drill with sand paper attached ask at your local hardware store.
OH Yikes !!!!!!! don't put wall paper on the ceiling,it would be worse to remove,try painting it then using a old rag dipped lightly in another color and dab where ever you want

Using a good scraper might work better,experiment I guess. I have never heard of wallpaper on a CEILING !!!! If it was me I would just paint.

Instead of using sandpaper on your block to remove the texture use a "sanding screen". Same principle, much better results. If you'll get extra fine screen all you might have to do afterwards is a very light go-over with fine sandpaper. The screen will be found in the sheetrock supplies instead of with the paint/sandpaper.

How can you get rid of textured plaster ceilings?
Feb 07, 2008 by Gurl | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs
Can you easily get rid of textured plaster ceilings? Like this:
http://www.holoweb.net/~liam/pictures/2004/05/misc/pages/cimg0794/cimg0794-500x375.jpg
prime over it with paint primer so the plaster ( joint compond works) will stick to it. A typical room will cost several hundred dollars to have done, but it is not easy to do a really good job if you haven't done it before. the good news if you try yourself, is that if you don't like the results then you can keep trying.
One helpful hint. If you DIY:
If you can't feel a bump with your hand you won't be able to see it when done. This can save you a lot of time as you are deciding if you should fix something that may just be a shadow or difference in degree of drying.

Hand textured ceilings - what ratio water to mud?
Jul 16, 2006 by whimsical sagacity | Posted in Decorating & Remodeling
I have stippled a number of ceilings, and am trying to get the best consistency of mud. what do you recommend?
Sure you can add some water for texturing purposes. Just add a little at a time until you like what it's doing. I always do. Straight mud is a little too thick for me, and frankly, for everyone I've worked with. You're not going to hurt anything by making it a little creamier. I get the stuff in the plastic pails, not the boxes. Experiment. It's Art.

What's the best way to get rid of swirly textured ceilings?
Sep 27, 2006 by KK | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs
Sanding them down? Plaster sheet over the top of the ceiling. Any idea on cost per square foot?
Most homes in the Boston area seem to have these horrible ceilings.
if the stippling ( textured swirls) doesn't scrape off to easily, you are better off putting new plasterboars over the old ceiling and re -plaster them...yes it's a messy option, and more costly but when you have a nice smooth ceiling at the end of it, you will be glad you did it. normal plasterboards are 8' X 4' and you would get away with using 3/8" boards to make things easier, but the ceiling should have most of the heavy stippling hacked off first...get a good plasterer to quote you a price and see if it is worth the hassle...I think it is, to be honest

How to fix textured ceilings?
Jan 30, 2009 by Mommy of 3 Beautiful Girls | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs
My ceilings are textured and recently had a roof leak that made a part of the ceiling come down, now there's a spot on the ceiling where there is no plaster or whatever you want to call it. Does anyone know how i can fix it??
They sell spray cans of the texture stuff at Home Depot and Lowes. It is for repairing spots on the ceiling.
