Thank you! I had a newbie plasterer leave behind clumps of dried plaster on my wall. I was able to follow this video to remove them. It looks like they were never there. Thank you!

Thank You!!!!! I am going to try this!!!

Thanks I'm going to try this .

Thank you so much for sharing this!

These artex removal videos are very irresponsible - probably just because the makers don’t understand the risk. Whether you call it artex or popcorn finish, you should test it for asbestos before removal. The tests are relatively inexpensive these days - particularly compared to the medical costs to be incurred if you or a family member contract an asbestos related illness! How much is your life worth?!

Yikes. What a sloppy mess!

Our house has this except its SUPER thick and you can literally see where they just took their fingers and smeared it through the plaster. My roommates and i have been calling it cakewall but I'm not sure if the style has a name

brilliant!

Makes sense. Sand the tips to expose the stucco for better water absorption and to soften it, then scrape away. How much area do you figure you remove in an hour?

Or rent a wall sander

What a S job previous hack job

You saved my life 😍

I’m wondering if using a steam wallpaper stripper might do the job to moisten the artex sufficiently to allow it to be scraped off.

Just be careful as depending on when it was applied to the wall, it may contain asbestos.

bruh i accidentally punched the wall and know my fingers bleeding ;-;

Thanks for making this video! We just bought a house that is sooo awful with the walls! It’s a mess! I needed this video!

My bathroom is like this, grrr. I was seriously thinking of demoing down to the studs and just starting over. I'll try your method first. Thanks

I have an entire room of that crap. Im considering just hiring a contractor

Don't bother with a damp rag, just use a spray bottle on the mist setting and get it nice and we. Let it sit for 10 to 20 minutes and it will peel off like soft butter.

Maybe paint stripper

I just did something similar and my hands are paying the price. Thanks for adding bit about the moist towel, right in time before my second session today

Our walls our like this but the bumps are spaced out and with higher bumps . Don’t know what you call it . Great job having the kiddos help out too, I plan to do the same . Good skills to learn .

Thanks for the video, would have taken me years to do my house.

Wouldn’t it be easier just to re-drywall the room? I’ve got two bathrooms like this, except it’s very thick, like faux French plaster look....really unsure what to do to it.

Great video - quick and to the point thank you

0:59 why is the dude with windswept hair staring at me?!?!

Thank you, I've got big task in hand as my house is covered in this and outdated wallpaper.

Omg thank you so much! I will be doing this

Ulgh, this was done to all our bedrooms as my dad just had a friend do it who had no experience with painting. Nice to know I'm in for some work. =_=

Looks like asbestos texture

After that first scrape if you cover the old artex with wallpaper paste (it allows the moisture to remain on the wall) and after a while - keep testing a smaill area until its easy, then scrape off. Very messy but if you have floors etc covered and a large bucket to collect the gooey scrapings.

Please pay attention and find out if the texture has asbestos in it!!!!!!!!!! Asbestos will cause cancer and will make you very sick.. Never ( PLEASE ) sand on your textured walls especially if it was put on during the 60s to the early 80s.. Have your plaster ( or paint ) checked before doing any sanding, causing the dust to enter your lungs.

I'm going to have to try this. Thank you

I really hope that Artex coating doesn't have asbestos in it!!

Tell your 9 year old son he's smart and amazing🤗

Nice! Thank you for sharing!

Very helpful! Thanks for posting

House remodel & the mud guy got some plaster on my wood trim, do you think just using water would remove it? I don't want to remove the beautiful stain finish.

Thank you sooo much for posting this. I have been facing a wall that had a few largish holes from a teenage daughter. While I researched my husband would sneak in and said he could do it himself. Well today he said we need new drywall to make a new wall that covers the other one. I have a tone of joint compound and various forms of tape and patches to remove but I have hope now that I can save my wall.

I have to do my entire apartment 😩

Man, I watched this and then went to town. Definitely saved me a boat load of time, Thank you.

WTF?!! did you get it checked for asbestos?!!!!

lmao what are kids for anyway?

We're moving in 2 weeks and the house we're moving to has this in over half the house ..over the entire walls!!!!. How in the world does someone think this looks appealing?! I appreciate this! I was perplexed on what to do

for all the scraping, I saw somebody actually use a wide putty knife duct taped to a shop vac hose. So all the debris from scraping get instantly sucked up. No mess afterwards! :)

OMG. I'm up late, probably too late and found this. Too funny and oh so true.

I wonder if you sprayed it with a water bottle if that would have been better than damp cloth.

This is dangerous advice, please ignore

ASBESTOS ASBESTOS ASBESTOS ASBESTOS ASBESTOS ASBESTOS ASBESTOS ASBESTOS ASBESTOS!!!!DONT FOLLOW THIS VIDEO UNLESS YOU WANT TO GET MESOTHELIOMA!!!!!!!!
