We used just a regular camcorder amazingly enough. the spy cam was broken
during the popcorn removing process

Asbestos-laced popcorn texturing was banned in1978, but the law allowed
contractors to use up existing stocks, so it’s possible to find it in
houses into the 1980s. I’d still scrape a sample and mail it into a
laboratory for analysis. Even covering the walls and floors, asbestos
fibers could float all over the house and create a serious health issue
later. See mesotheliomanews[dot]com /2009 /08 /22

I would. .when removing popcorn, it creates dust even when wet. This will
prevent and dust from sticking to the walls and messing up good paint job.
otherwise you will have to brush the diary of

In the simplest tems and most convenient definition. NO!

Usually with a garden hose and a nozzle that has a an adjustble mist
setting. those work best. you dont want to get the ceiling to wet.

The whole reason for the extenstion poles are so you dont have to get on a
baker scaffold in the first place. A professional knows how to work his way
around fans and lights without having to get up on a scaffold in the first
place. If you are a professional Mike then i suggest you learn some better
and fast techniques to get a job done efficiently and properly to save
time, at the same time making sure the H.O. is satisfied with the completed
project. Use a ladder if fans give you trouble.

if you plan on replacing the floors its not necessary. Its best to rip the
floors up first anyhow. it always helps to cover the walls. remember you
will probably be using water to wet the popcorn and you dont want that on
drywall.

I do need to point out the importance of damp sanding the ceiling prior to
texture application after the popcorn is scraped. Any existing popcorn
residue (especially in the field between mud joints and nail spots) is
extremely brittle after it dries and can wreak havoc on the painter. If the
time is taken to take a sponge-mop and completely remove all traces of the
old popcorn, the job will be as flawless as can be without replacing the
ceiling board. 20 years of experience has taught me well!

who needs light right lol. it just looks better without a light haha 😛

I really dont recommend just a wet t shirt. a proper respirator is much
better. a shirt never stops much.
Matt Blake · September 13, 2014 at 9:59 AM
I’m planning on repainting the entire room and replacing the flooring
should I still cover the floors and the walls?
jhi1947 · September 13, 2014 at 10:02 AM
How do you wet the ceiling?
Mitchell Meyer · September 13, 2014 at 10:22 AM
I really appreciate the video! Very helpful.. One quick question: If the
ceiling does contain asbestos, how would you recommend handling it? Would I
be safe if I wear a full face respirator and tyvek suit? Thanks for any
advice you can give!
Tracy O'Brien · September 13, 2014 at 10:31 AM
they forgot to wear eye gear- flecks of this stuff can ruin your eyes!

It requires more water sometimes. Let the water soak through the paint. If
the paint is real bad or semi gloss you will have lots of trouble getting
this done in the first place.
redhedstepchyld · September 13, 2014 at 12:39 PM
Should I bother taping off the walls if they’re being painted next on the
to-do list?
gofockyourself123 · September 13, 2014 at 1:33 PM
assume you have asbestos, and keep everything moist/wet to prevent dust.
use wet t-shirt and tie around your nose/mouth.
natalie3275 · September 13, 2014 at 2:22 PM
Nice vid but the words scroll too quickly! Can’t read what you’re doing.
arisdrywallspraying · September 13, 2014 at 2:27 PM
Texture is not important. It depends on the homeowner and what they want.
When popcorn is removed, If no texture is applied, the ceiling will need to
have the finish joints mudded again and sanded to give the ceiling a flat
finish. If this isn’t done, than the ceiling will look bad due to poor
finishing of the original ceiling, which the popcorn intended to hide.
arisdrywallspraying · September 13, 2014 at 2:35 PM
It can be difficult. The only way to do it is to spray it with water and
hope for the best. No Sometimes you have to try different methods to get it
right.
John Leitaker · September 13, 2014 at 3:26 PM
first take a speed reading class. I kid. really don’t try this yourself
this guy must have done quit a few to make it look this easy. just hire
him. Or, if you in the n. cal. call me.

The video was pretty straight forward and answered all my questions on how
to do the job. But, I learn by watching and my head was pulled out of my
ass a few years back.
