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.

Are you stippling for texture or only the color?

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.

How's the ventilation/insulation in the bathroom? I've seen some
instances where textured ceilings had more issues with mold growth.
Not sure of the reason.

The bathroom has inside walls with a Panasonic inline fan exhausting
to the outside. 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.

If you are not part of the solution, you are not dissolved in the solvent.

Thanks. This is the first I heard of mixing primer with drywall mud,
but it makes good sense.

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.
