Our son-in-law and daughter scraped the popcorn off our ceilings and one of

From the other answers I've read about popcorn ceilings, it sounds like my
best bet is to get some watered down drywall mud and put it on those areas
with a sponge. Any other ideas?

From now on, just put the lid on the popcorn pot.

thanks!
