I have a ceiling in an older house that I applied the stipple onto 2 years ago and now it is turning yellow. I am a non-smoker and I was wondering if anyone had any ideas for me on why this may be happening?

Thanks

Hello oilersfan, since it is doubtful that the ceiling is being discolored from below it has to be something coming from behind the stipple. Interior walls/ceilings that are old can do this or previous tenent/owner may have been a smoker. The only cure for this is an interior oil primer like KILZ Original, Zinsser Primer Sealer or Parks Primer Sealer (alcohol based) followed by latex paint of your choice......Mike
