Stipple a Ceiling
I'd appreciate if anyone can show me a link on how to stipple a
ceiling. A video would be great. I have new unpainted green wallboard on the ceiling. Should primer be applied before stippling? Do I have to buy a special applicator? This is a ceiling in a small bathroom. Thanks. |

I want to stipple to match the existing stipple texture in the house. It need not be exact, because it is a new bathroom. Color should be the same as all the rooms, ceiling white. |

The other bathrooms have textured ceilings, no problem for over 16 years. Entire house is air conditioned. |

If what you are calling stipple is what I call stipple this is real easy. Thin out some drywall mud with latex primer to the consistency of mayonnaise, then roll it on with a fine nap roller. When dry overcoat with another coat of latex primer and then you are good to paint. If you do not get a big enough stipple thicken with more mud, or use a thicker nap roller. I got real good results with the 1/4"nap when I re-did the sheet rock in my bathroom. -- Roger Shoaf If you are not part of the solution, you are not dissolved in the solvent. |

I recently viewed a U-Tube video of two drywall men. One was putting on the thinned mud on the ceiling with a roller and the other was pouncing a round brush against the ceiling. Looks like fun but I will need some large plastic sheets and duct tape to contain the mess. |
