Do it yourself

Wow Please don't stop the remarks on Asbestos as I have learned something here today. Maybe you could just pick and choose which ones to put in... I have painted many popcorn ceilings as we have apartments with them. It is best to do with a sprayer, but can be done with a roller "slowly" being sure to not get it to wet with paint as all of the posts are true... it will get to wet and roll off in your face... But in my experience it takes quite a bit of paint to cover also. If you have time I would spray it with warm water in small sections and scrape it off. Even if Asbestos were a problem I don't think your exposure is going to be of any significance that you would have to worry. I would wear a mask and safety glasses just to keep the pieces from my face. Terry
