How do you fix a water stain on a popcorn ceiling?
Try this if the water stain does not require replacing sheetrock first. Get some dry popcorn mix (powder and popcorn pebbles together). Add water to measured amount (experiment). Pour mixture into kitchen strainer (the kind you use to strain water off cooked spaghetti). Of course, first put strainer atop empty paint can! The resulting gray liquid that drains off (don’t be alarmed that it doesn’t look as whiteas your ceiling) can be used like paint to cover the water stain. Roll this liquid onto the ceiling using a 3/4″ nap roller. When it drys back it will match your sprayed ceiling if the popcorn formula was the same. I just did it in several different spots and the result was excellent!
