I had a spot on a textured ceiling that needed repair so to *texture
the patch I sprayed a liitle paint on it to act as an adhesive then
literally placed crushed popcorn on it. Sprayed some more paint on it
to seal it up and it looks great.

I've seen a lot of repairs that just didn't make the grade on that
stuff. On our first house, we had some water damage to such a ceiling
and instead of trying to match it up, simply took down all the popcorn
(steam brings it down quite easily) and re-did the entire ceiling with a
paint/sand mix.

Ive done that too but that was more than I could handle right now. If
my little patch last a year I will be happy but I think its going to
hang in there. It felt pretty solid after the paint dried.
