hello/
i have been a painter for many years, but one thing i have a problem with is fixing a popcorn stucco ceiling so it cannot be noticed. i have a job with 2 3 foot cracks, hairline cracks, but iv e done it before with caulking and a can of popcorn spray. but it is still possible to see it.
does anyone have a way or product to fix this perfectly?
thanks
ryan

No easy touch-ups will make it perfect, sorry
Scrape, fix and re-popcorn...or not popcorn
That's the only way to make it perfect
As for repairs, some can do a pretty good job at making it less noticeable
Almost invisible if everything goes right
But there's no way to make it perfect by touch-up type repair

I've repaired a lot of popcorn ceilings but the only way to make the repair disappear is to use a hopper and feather the texture. Done right, once painted, the repair should be 99% invisible.
