Repairing larger holes above 6 to 8 inches requires different techniques. Smaller holes can be patched with drywall tape or drywall patch, but large holes need something rigid to cover the opening. The best and simplest solution is making a patch from drywall and securing it with wood backing strips and screws. Then tape and joint compound (mud) can be applied over the seams just like installing new drywall. Done properly, the end result is a permanent repair that is just as strong and will not be visible. Popcorn Ceiling Removal Home design trends come and go and the popcorn ceiling is one of those that's going at this time. It was a less expensive sprayed on technique which masked ceiling imperfections, offered fire resistance, and noise dampening benefits. The retro ceiling design be updated fairly easily, but before attempting a project on an existing popcorn ceiling, the homeowner should test it for asbestos. Asbestos is a fibrous silicate mineral and when disturbed, disperses microscopic fibrils that cause lung scarring which can lead to lung cancer. It was banned in 1978 as a health hazard and manufacturers switched to paper fiber but suppliers continued to sell it. So depending on the age of the house, the higher probability that it has asbestos laced material. You can test a popcorn ceiling for the presence of asbestos by carefully scraping a small sample into a plastic bag and having it tested at an EPA-accredited lab. In the presence of asbestos, a professional remediation company should do the job. Your local waste authority will have guidelines for the legal disposal of it. Baseboards & Crown Molding Baseboards and crown molding are for the most part installed for aesthetic reasons. Baseboards hide the joint between wall and floor while crown molding hides the joint between wall and ceiling. The practical function of baseboards is to protect the walls from getting scuffed by vacuum cleaners, kids, and other household hazards. Baseboard trim and crown molding should match and complement each other as far as materials, colors, and textures with baseboards usually being less ornate. Knockdown Texture The knockdown drywall finish is the current trend for home design due to it's appearance and functionality. The look is achieved by applying joint compound onto walls or ceilings by spraying, troweling, or rolling then flattening the peaks with a knockdown knife. The result is a texture with visual impact that also hides imperfections and provides sound deadening.

The solution is designed to dissolve the adhesive so you can use a putty knife to scrape it off but be sure to only use the flat edge to not damage the drywall.
