Fixing stipple.

http://groups.msn.com/bossnasstfppic...msnw?Page=Last

The last picture is of my ceiling, in an aparment condo. A bit of a stipple problem.

Constructed spring and summer 2003, took possession in September 2003. At this point, I've given up on getting the worthless developer to fix it, I've long since done all the other minor defects myself. I've done a little stipple work in the past, but it was in an assistance role and it was with a large rented spayer. This is pretty small (standard sized post-it for scale).

Should I try to ignore it? Any easy small scale fixes?

Is the sheetrock cracked/broken? Is there access above the damaged area?

Where I'm from they call that 'popcorn' but, whatever.

They make an 'acoustical ceiling repair' product that is sold at the big orange store. There are several varieties depending on the texture of your ceiling. They are in a pressurized can and only cover about a 2' x 2' area. So it might be just right for your application. Be sure to mask the wall and floor with plastic sheeting, the stuff is messy. And, as always, 'For best results, follow label directions'

Good luck.

Actually, the ceiling appears to be concrete with a skim coat of drywall compound on it. I'm not 100% this is the case at this exact location, but I discovered that it was the case when I tried to move a light in an adjoining room. So I would venture to say that the sheetrock isn't there and there is no access to the area above.

Yeah, my dad calls it 'popcorn' too. An arty friend has also told me that 'stipple' just means 'random raised dots' and is a painting term. Ever since I had to paint one of them and the nasty oil paint came in an offcially labeled "Stipple-Acoustic Ceiling" can, I've called it so.

And it turns out my local home depot has no such product, but I'll check Rona on the weekend.

Good luck.
You mentioned "messy," but forgot to mention "powerful." This stuff is anarchy in a can. Treat it with respect, its pumped up to about a million more psi than a spraypaint.
