You should ALWAYS spray foam the gap between the attic access pull down door frame and the ceiling just first. Then, use some double sided tape (preferable foam) on the host. Then install the blanket and staple it to the foam. Your attempt was ok.

It's hard to believe the popcorn didn't come peeling off the ceiling. I could not compare the roller technique with this amount of pressure to my own situation, but worth watching. Thank you.

Thanks for the video. Took me longer to watch it than it did to install it. Would you recommend using expandable foam instead of calking or not? I have both.

Paid a guy to do my living room a few years ago and warned if comes off easy. He laughed off and say he was going spray it on and it would fall off. After he got going and had a good deal done it started falling off in big chunks. It was so bad I told him to get out and scraped it off myself and redid it with a different texture.

Yeah, you got lucky with that one with not much coming off. I always wear a hat, and a face shield from $1 store since paint can be rough getting out of hair, and good to protect face and eyes from getting paint in when working over head. No matter how good you are you can't fight gravity so why not make staying clean easier. The only thing you have to be afraid of with popcorn is if it has been badly water damaged it can start coming off a lot even in sheets when rolling.

Only use a airless spray gun, this is why the pop corn is falling off you never roll it

Had my roof leak repair guy at my house and he explained how I got an "air dam" from my attic that caused a leak at a window. He showed me how a ton of heat was escaping thru the attic door into the attic and causing the snow to melt and freeze. I have never heard of an attic tent and both of my houses that I lived in for 30 years had attic pull downs. I don't know why they don't make these mandatory as a building code. Great video of what I have to do and its not expensive at all. Thanx !

I just moved into a place and began painting the walls of my laundry room, then noticed the popcorn ceiling looked even worse after I painted my walls white..it seriously looked like 10 chain smokers lived here. But anyways, NOW, I HAVE to paint the ceiling cos..well cos my projects keep having project babies!

Plastic is ok, try and lay cardboard or an old sheet over the plastic. When paint drops on the plastic and you step on the paint drops, its going to pull the plastic up, especially if its thin Mil plastic. ✌

@@askledhead I ended up using a sheet. Also, I way underestimated the amount of paint needed. It's crazy how much I've used for a small area. I think I bit off a little more than I was prepared to chew🤣

Yes, the ceiling is going to soak up the paint and it might not look uniform if it isn't primerd
