Easy way to scrape popcorn ceiling.
Bros or pros 2017.
When scraping a popcorn ceiling there is a very common belief that you can just scrape it and paint it.
Scrape the ceiling put on your protective eyewear and dust mask then slowly remove the popcorn coating from the drywall with a wide drywall scraper working one section at a time.
For easier scraping and practically no dust during popcorn ceiling removal use a garden pump sprayer to mist the ceiling and let it soak in for about 15 minutes before scraping.
I perform the task in an 11 foot by 12 foot bedroom from start to finish in just over.
You ll probably need to skim it with a thin layer of joint compound to smooth out imperfections then sand it smooth before repainting.
