A look at how to use Homax Texture spray from the Home Depot to repair your textured ceiling. The spray used in the video (Amazon Affiliate Link): www.amazon.ca/...

i guess Im randomly asking but does anybody know of a way to log back into an instagram account..? I stupidly forgot my account password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me.
@Colton Archie I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im in the hacking process now. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
THANK YOU! Have been trying to find guidance on this repair issue. The close up shots and tip about refrigerating the spray were by far the most impactful and unique among other videos I looked through.
I am redoing the texture of the ceiling from "Crows Feet" to this canned "Popcorn" texture but wasn't sure about it. This helped me explore this product! Thank you!
Thank you for posting. I have the exact same issue with upstair bathroom leak. My ceiling repair is smaller but noticeable and don't need the entire ceiling textured. This is exactly what I need. Great Video!
I am in this exact same scenario, with roughly the same size repair. Thanks for posting. I have found many other videos about ceiling repair and patching, but nothing that covers just tape damage. You were lucky, I have yet to assess how bad the mud repair is going to be, I hope I can avoid replacing the tape as well.
I can replace tape and get it ready for texture in less then 10 minutes lol with one pan of 5 minute and wet sponge to clean the edge off before it sets up that repair will blend perfectly when you go to spray I noticed personally to have the can further away from the ceiling im a repair guy just never used then spray texture in a can until today also put your can in hot water it won’t come out as thick
nice video.this can only has one setting for the texture. the one i bought has a dial for heavy, medium or fine . People have had problems with spraying the one i bought so they are shaking the can,then soaking in warm or hot water for 15 to 20 minutes then shaking again. I'm really surprised that after chilling your can anything would come out at all but glad it worked for you. I confirmed with the Homax about solving the spray problem with the hot water soak on mine. The affiliate link has the one i bought with the adjustable settings so youre good to go
Does the spray get all over everything? I had used some spray paint once inside on a ceiling ac grate (ac off) and the fine aerosolized paint got all over everything in the room… I think I would rather roll on a texture if possible.
I never prime before use. The product is water based--as is the drywall compound. As a result, the product partially dissolves / softens the drywall compound and better bonds to it as it dries. Go slow. Don't spray one heavy coat.
Thanks for the videos, very informative and appreciated! My dilemma: I'm a newbie at creating ceiling finishes, and I have a 20" x 40" section of ceiling in my GF's house that I've patched (after watching your videos, thanks!) but now have to match the finish/skim coat. It's some variation of a knockdown finish but I can't find any YT videos that clearly show any knockdown that is very similar to what I have. Question: Is there an online "drywall / ceiling / plastering forum" where I can upload photos of my ceiling finish, and where someone could see it and tell me exactly how to replicate that specific finish? Any help wld be much appreciated, thank you! PS: I don’t have any special equipment like a spray gun or plaster finish sprayer. Just the regular hand tools, sponges, a Homex can of knockdown texture spray (which doesn’t seem to apply anything nearly as thick as what I apparently need) etc.
@@TheFunnyCarpenter Thanks, I did, but not the same effect I have. But after posting my question I searched further and found a forum, think I have a solution. Many thanks!
Hello!!! I really wished i saw this video BEFORE i attempted to do this type of repair. Little did I know that there were different types of Homex products for different type of textures! So my first time around I used the Homex Popcorn texture on our ceiling and then found out our ceiling texture is classified more as orange peel :(. So now i have this eye sore that i want to try and attempt to do again. Question 1. Does Homex scrap off easily? Question 2. Once that stuff is off, to prep the area is to use mud, sand, then prime? Question 3. Did you paint the whole ceiling again after you sprayed the Homex product on? or did you just paint the area you repaired? Question 4. Is there a special paint that you use on texture ceiling? Thank you in advance, i thought the results looked great.
ah man, i did a small crack repair and it was awesome, then I did the rest and they looked like crap, I warmed the 2nd job cans, that's were I messed up(directions say to...) it just left no peel and a visible stripe

@Colton Archie it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thanks so much you saved my ass :D
@Peter Reed happy to help :)
I'm also doing a ceiling that is better matched by the wall texture. Thanks for confirming that doing so can be the right choice. ❤️
A world of difference when the can is chilled. Thanks!

If you’re painting up some trims be sure to check out this handy vid: th-cam.com/video/ygnHSUCagL0/w-d-xo.html
Along with 2' - 3' distance, they also recommend circular motion 👌🏽
Have learned a laughed a bunch from your channel. Thank you!

Feather the trigger Bearly press it it will spray big blobs but less will make it to the wall
Very interesting
This video is exactly what I was looking for, thanks. Question: What jackstand tool did you use to hold up your spray containment sheeting?
That was 3rd hand from Fastcap. You can get cheaper options at most the big box stores.
Thanks man. This is exactly what I needed
I just recently removed all of my textured ceilings, what a pain in the neck.
I think that’s where the phrase comes from:)
WORKS PRETTY GOOD BUT IT IS REALLY MESSY TO WORK WITH!
I never prime before use. The product is water based--as is the drywall compound. As a result, the product partially dissolves / softens the drywall compound and better bonds to it as it dries. Go slow. Don't spray one heavy coat.

There a guy on TH-cam Vancouver Capenter. I thought I saw him doing a knockdown stucco repair with the homex spray. You should check out his channel.

👍🏻👍🏻Loved the video. The main question is, does your wife notice the repaired area?
Happy wife Happy life! She thinks it looks great:)
With a wife like that who gives a s...
Asking the important question lol
Don't beat yourself up i just used a homax knockdown texture and also had that kind of result. Not bad but for bigger globs we need the hopper
Thanks for the video!

Could this product be sprayed all over your ceiling to create the orange peel look if you don’t already have it ?
I imagine it could but it would be pretty messy:)
Spraying the ceiling is the worst, it came out as a glob. You made it look wasy
Thanks for sharing.
The Mrs. is every wife!
🥰😍
Wow. Your wife should be in more videos. She stole the show💜
Creep
I wish I knew an easy to remove this stuff.
What
😎🛠️😎🛠️😎
Don't appreciate the "wife" with the attitude.
Me either😂
You just talking and doing nothing! thought maybe you did some work too
