Thank you Pip. The texture is called Artex, available in the UK. But if you are shouting from the US or Canada, then use drywall texture. Hope this help, thanks for commenting

That's great mate thanks for your help👍.

Nah..try dry stone walling much more satisfying

It shouldn't have to be this way but you are welcome. Just ensure you wear a mask & goggles

always using texture powder & NEVER plaster for texturing

Thanks Christopher, and thank you for the feedback

Hi David. You are welcome. Thanks for the feedback

Hi. Thank you for contacting me. If you can get the filler, once mixed, to the same consistency as of the original textures' (which you are attempting to replicate), and it is only a small patch, why not try using the filler? To patch in successfully a 'stipple pattern' it's all about making your consistency resemble the consistency of the existing stipple the original texture'r' used. However, I would not attempt to use 'skimming plaster'. This is just my piece of advice, and a bag of texture is not cheap. Especially as you only need to do a patch-up. But do let us know how you get on Have a great day Dale

Hi Dale, The stipple ceiling repair is about 5'-0" x 5" wide (was a plaster board ceiling joint crack) I have repaired ceiling with Screwfix no nonsense all purpose ready mix filler and sanded down smooth flat ready for texturing mix with stipple brush. Note would PVA glue diluted with water and rolled over be ok for bond sealing before rolling texture mix & stipple brushing I was going to use the rest of ready mix filler in tub diluted with small amounts of water with stipple brush let dry and 2 coats white dulux emulsion over all ceiling. Regards

Yes, definitely seal with pva, watered down, as the dry filler on the ceiling will instantly draw off the moisture of the new mix you are about to apply, and then it would be difficult attempting to make a pattern. Maybe coat the area twice (to help diminish as much porosity as possible.) Let the sealer dry completely before texturing,, and once you have mixed your filler/texture, to the consistency you think looks good, lay some of this compound onto a spare wall or ceiling,or spare piece of plasterboard, and then stipple it, so see if it resembles the original pattern on your ceiling, and you can always wash this Often, though, when attempting a stipple patch-up, a little filler/texture, applied to the area (compared to laying on the texture really thickly) just may suffice Some stipple I have patched has been so fine, that I just lay some compound onto my actual stipple brush, then just dabbed gently onto the area Hope all this helps Have a great day

Hi Terry. Lovely comment great to know an old school texture fan who can still remember. I got a story about the actual creation of the comb texture patterns etc... I live in Cardiff South Wales... Yes I do.... Many, MANY years ago, in a suburb called CANTON. There was an old toy shop, where myself (& my wife at the time) entered, to purchase a toy for one of our lovely sproggs... I was infatuated, Because, behind the counter, a door was open, and revealed a wall with a kind of TEXTURED COMB PATTERN... That's amazing, I told the old fellow. When did you have that done, as I am sooo interested I want to learn the art of texturing (we actually called creative texturing, ARTEX, in the UK) for myself.... Well, he jollied, taking a noisy slurp of the steaming, thick dark liquid embellishing his china mug, then he wiped his sodden goatee with a crisp, white hanky fumbled from his breast pocket. That was actually done just after the second world war. We owned this shop for many years and had it plastered. My missus & the plasterer at the time suggested to play around with the plaster, instead of having a flat finish, so with a notched trowel, hence, this is the effect he had achieved, and we have kept it ever since Anyways, enough of the idle chatter, I loved your comment Have a great day Dale

Please come to Orlando, Fla. Take family to see Mickey Mouse and Minnie mouse at Disney World and do my kitchen ceiling in between. Apparently the builder put accent ceilings in different areas. Very nice Lol I have a 4” half small circles and saw it Actually looks easy but yours is a Job for Superman. Thanks for Video

Thank you Kate Buckfield

Joe, you are welcome. Thank you for taking the time to comment. Have a great day

Hi Badboy. The stipple sounds like it could have been a watery mix, as used on some site-build finishes, hence, a thinnish appearance. I have actually been able to adhere coving/cornice to these type of (almost flat) textured ceilings previously... Of course, make sure you seal / bond, to take away any porosity and to add extra adhesion, and allow to dry (PVA, not too diluted, around 50/50 with water... And make sure the texture mix for putting up the cornice/coving is of a rather thick consistence (as per the video... And then, I always place nails/screws, underneath the cornice/coving, to hold the weight, until the texture is set hard... You will have to experiment, and this information is just how I would apply, and I do not hold myself responsible for any mishaps you may endear. Also I would not attempt too affix and kind of HEAVY/PLASTER style coving/cornice etc. I hope this helps please do let me know how you get on

Hi Karma. Thank you for commenting. I use 2 kinds of products, both are great for creating artistic comb & basic textures on interioe ceilings & walls. One is Artex, in powder form, 25kg bags. And the other is Wondertex Premier mix in powder form, 25kg bags. Hope this helps
