I bought a tube, may have been made by Dap, and it had a sponge applicator
at one end. It worked well for medium size holes I fixed (about 6 inches
wide). But obviously the texture are your ceiling might look different and
it might not work for you.

Does that patch for popcorn ceilings that comes in a tube work well?

I have a about a 2 foot square area at the apex of my 15 foot high
cathedral ceiling, surrounding a vent. The popcorn keeps flaking away,
maybe because of moisture from the vent? I'd hate to have to repaint
the whole ceiling, since it's quite big. Also, I wonder if I should
rent a scaffold or a big ladder to do the job.

Thanks for any advice you can give.
