Ratings & Reviews for Homax Pro grade 14 Ounce(s) White Popcorn Water-based Ceiling Texture

Doesn’t work and not worth the goopy mess.

Silly string sprays better than this. Followed the directions on the can and it spayed fine for about 2 seconds. Then it only sprayed up about 4” and came out a caused a goopy mess. Thankfully we taped up plastic sheeting on the ceiling trim, which draped down the wall and across the floor. Only had a 18”x34” space to repair. Decided to use scraped styrofoam balls to fill in the area between coats of ceiling paint.

Junk

Oversized spray, clogs after 5 seconds, terrible mess, doesn't look like popcorn texture at all. Just junk, don't waste your money

Dont buy online or this "popcorn" spray"

Comes out too fast and uncontrollable. Cheaper and easier to buy 3.5 gal of mud and use a hopper

terrible

Even with following the instructions the product comes out entirely too large to match the popcorn look

I was skeptical that I would have the same results as others, but I was sure wrong. I needed to patch a 3x3 square of ceiling, and I think more landed on my walls, floor and on myself than nearly what made it to the ceiling. The spray ended up just foaming at the tip and spraying these big globs everywhere. I followed the instructions just like it said, and even decided to shake longer than recommended based on what some people have said. Stay away from this awful product, as this was an expensi...

It is messy to use.

This stuff matches very well but makes a mess when being used. Put down at least an 8 foot radius of drop cloth or plastic sheeting. One can can patch a LOT of areas. I didn't even use half the can.

Terrible product

Same as previous customer: I bought 2 cans of this expensive spray. I have done construction all my life and I've successfully used a texture spray before of another brand. I followed directions on can, shacking it well. Can was at room temperature. Most of the spray fell to the floor at the suggested 20" distance, Holding can at 12", I managed to get some texture to hit the ceiling. The can became clogged with about half the product remaining in the can. It began to run out like a volcano. Spra...

Works great if warmed with water

I was scared to try this since it had so many bad reviews but it worked great for me. At first I got the same as some of the bad pictures. Large pieces that didn’t spray out of the can well and fell before they reached the ceiling. But then I reread the whole can and saw you really need to warm with water for smaller pieces that you see on most ceilings. After that it worked great. I had a larger area so it took 3 cans. But warming with hot water and shaking the can constantly did the trick.

Not for amateurs.

I attempted to use it as directed, but I may not have used it correctly. It was made to cover a slightly smaller area than I covered. The size of the texture seemed larger than the texture on the ceiling that I was trying to match, though I had dialed it to the smallest size possible. I suspect a more skilled user woud have gotten the right results, but an amateur like me didn't get it right. I will have to scrape it and try again perhaps with another product.

Terrible Performance

Save your money. Bought two cans to cover small repairs and after warming the cans and shaking them according to directions, the product came out sporadically and clumpy. It didn’t reach the ceiling when sprayed and what did come out was mostly lost running down the can. Disappointing.
