I have popcorn ceiling (yeah I know it's ugly) and after hurricane Frances
there were some leaks which I fixed. Unfortunately some moisture got to
the
ceiling and there is a seam along the ceiling drywall that started peeling
off. I used a drywall puddy knife and scaped off an area about 6 inches
wide and 3" long that has no popcorn now.
I then tried to buy those popcorn repair kid...no luck...I cannot apply
that
stuff into the area I scaped to match the look of the rest of the ceiling.
It's impossible. Plus the cottage cheese doesn't stick well anyways.
So now I am thinking of hiring someone to respray the entire room, covering
that spot and the rest of the room as well. Can a total respray mask the
spot or will it be worse apply popcorn on popcorn?

Yes, I found repairing an area a real hassle - (unsuccessful ). If a
repairman can't patch it, the entire room should look the same when it's
all new - if he knows what he's doing.
