Tips & Tricks:
1. Set times vary depending on thickness of texture, age of coating, and how many layers of paint. Test scrape every hour until ready or let set overnight (12 hours) before scraping.
2. Keep product wet EZ Strip stops working if it drys out. Cover treated area with plastic and reapply to any areas that have dried out to reactivate.
3. Use a mud spatula to scrape drywall texture and scrape carefully so you don't gouge the drywall or rip the paper lining. If you do no worries small rips and gouges can be patched before painting.
4. Catch your texture as it falls into a paint tray for easy clean up. Dispose in your regular house hold garbage.
5. Scrape along the tape lines! You do not want to remove the tape along the drywall seems so always scrape along the tape lines carefully.
6. Be prepared to patch any imperfections revealed under your drywall texture before painting. Be sure to wipe surface clean with a damp cloth and allow to completely dry before patching and painting.

Just bought a house with heavy textured walls. I HATE THAT CRAP!!! I'm glad I found out how to get it off the walls. Thanks.
I like the fact that it isn't harmful. I have pets inside and don't have to worry about fumes. I have 2 rooms to scrap paint off . Walls & ceiling. Tedius & time consuming sure..but I have the time and I plan on doing just a small section at time. That doesn't bother me. Just glad to have found something that works , doesn't damage the drywall & doesn't have harmful chemicals. I'm on a budget so taking awhile to do it myself is a better option than paying thousands for a contractor.
Cannot wait to give this a try on my walls that are heavily textured! They're so heavily textured they are collecting DUST!!!!!
Did it work? My whole house is like yours, I have to dust my walls, painting is a pain and god forbid you rub against the wall, you're likely to end up bleeding!
HI, I'm planning to use this product. Did it work?
I like the part where is doesn't make a lot of mess vs. Using one those pump sprayer load it wit hot water spray the popcorn ceiling n then scrape it this way make a lot of mess n its wet, but it comes off easyly
The difficulty with this removal task was that the tile was loose and had to be held in place. Working overhead is tough and not for everyone but for some preferable to the cost of a contractor. EZ Strip Popcorn Ceiling Remover offers a DIY removal option for painted drywall textures where there simply just wasn't before.

There appears to be no way to keep the plastic on the ceiling. This video might be OK for a very small space and for thinly applied texture, but after two applications and waiting an hour after each as instructed for heavy texture, nothing is coming off. So I tried putting another layer and putting plastic over top. This is a nearly impossible task unless you are doing one square foot at a time. I am only trying to do a kitchen (200 sq ft).
To cover a treated ceiling - use a roll of thin painter's plastic start by taping the starting edge have someone hold up the other end and push plastic onto treated area with a broom, tape wall edges as you go. Check out this video for ceilings th-cam.com/video/lMv4igXgJDw/w-d-xo.html
I've used this before and it worked great !
After watching this it makes me want to either rip the ceiling down and replace or install a second layer of drywall over top.
By the thin 3/8 or you can even get the 1/4 drywall. It's light and you can attach it with 1 5/8 drywall screws. Tape / Mud and texture to your hearts delight. Cheap and quick.
@@jasonmiller7891 I'm going to do a test spot and see how hard it is. I may wind up putting a second layer. Don't really want the mess of tearing it down, either way, the stippled ceiling must go!

Does this work if the paint is on cement?
Ok, 4 year old vid, let's see if they'll answer...
How long of a wait until the stripper is deactivated before applying paint or skim coat?
Does the water neutralize it?
Thanks
The stripper is neutralized with water. The last step is to wipe the surface clean with a damp cloth to remove and neutralize any remaining product. Always allow surfaces to completely dry before patching and sanding.
So, this takes off texture to its original dry wall state? Has anyone ever used this do remove texture to entire house?
If the texture is made from drywall mud (the most common material used) even with multiple layers of paint our product is designed to soften material so it can be scraped down to the original drywall.
What if it’s a whole room.?

I'm thinking that replacing the drywall would be cheaper and take less time.
Hiring a professional contractor is always an option. It not usually the cheaper option though.
yeah, that's too much work and totally unrealistic
The only way this product would be worth it is if you had traditional lath and plaster walls.
Yeesh....for how hard that is to scrape on a tiny piece...imagine doing 1000sqft?!
It is easier when the surface is not a loose piece of drywall. I have done a 1000+ sq ft room texture removal project before and it was a lot more cost effective than having a contractor come in to skim coat the texture.
If you only have 1 square foot to do, and a week to do it - this looks like a great method. lol In reality, this is WAY to time consuming and expensive.
EZ Strip Popcorn Ceiling Remover has a coverage of approx. 30 square feet per litre. If you have a whole house to do and on your own we recommend working on one room at a time with overnight set times. We hope this info is helpful as EZ Strip is the only effective dust free removal option for popcorn and other drywall textures that have been painted.

Compared to contractor costs for drywall replacement, dry sanding, or skim coat options using EZ Strip to remove ceiling textures yourself is MUCH less expensive. Check out this video for best ceiling texture removal techniques th-cam.com/video/lMv4igXgJDw/w-d-xo.html
what would you recommend? a sander won't work for mine - it's so heavy that it would jam a sander
Good lord, I can't even comment.
Pretty sure you can do the same thing with water
The material typically used to make drywall texture is drywall mud and yes that material is water soluble. However once you seal that texture in with paint homemade water removal solutions just don't work. EZ Strip Popcorn Ceiling Remover is specifically designed to remove painted drywall textures.
Are you crazy. This would take forever
Horrible advice
Until the blade goes into your hand...poor use of tools
Agreed trying to show texture removal on a loose piece of drywall was not very practical.
Save yourself the time and money! Vinager works way better and doesn't cost $50 dollars a jug.
Actually vinegar doesn't work at all on painted drywall textures which is what EZ Strip Popcorn Ceiling Remover is specifically designed for.
