Popcorn Ceiling Removal: DIY Friendly Removal Tips for Popcorn and Other Ceiling & Wall Textures!

                                                   

     

      Popcorn and other ceiling and wall textures have become the unwanted outdated surface in homes today. All though there are what seems like a lot of different textures out there they are commonly all made from the same types of materials and require the same type of removal method. Here are some examples of different terminology for drywall/sheetrock/gypsum board textures. 

Spray & Roll On Textures

• Splatter knockdown
  
• Orange Peel
  
• Popcorn
  
• Acoustic 
  
• Stipple
  

Hand Applied Textures

• Skip Trowel
  
• Hawk and Trowel
  
• Santa-Fe Texture
  
• Double Skip
  
• Swirl
  
• Crows-foot stomp
  
• Rosebud stomp
  
• Stomp knockdown
  

      And the one thing that makes all of these textures difficult to remove is paint. Once that texture has been painted which is often the case especially when dealing with an older home it increases the hassle of removal exponentially! Removal methods in the past have always required ether dry scraping texture off which causes a ton of dust and mess, skim coating over textures, or replacing drywall, people have even put a second layer of drywall up to avoid dealing with their drywall textures! All of these methods normally call for a contractor and more money than you want spend on a home improvement project.

      EZ Strip Inc a company that makes Do-It-Yourself Eco-friendly removal products saw this growing need and wanted to help home owners take back their ceilings and walls with confidence. EZ Strip Textured Coating Remover is a specially designed formula that softens painted textures so they can be easily scraped away without damage to drywall and other hard surfaces. EZ Strip Textured Coating Remover is not just effective but also completely safe to use with a no drip cling formula that is skin safe and has a very low VOC % so there are no harsh fumes during application process. This formula is so unique that there really is no other removal product out there like it!

Consumer Chemical Comprehension - Make Safe Choices with Purchase Power!

In today's market consumers are bombarded with choices, there is just so many products to choose from! When trying to make decisions on what is the best or safest product for their family things can get confusing. As a marketing manager for a safer choice paint remover company I know all too well the challenges consumers face at the store! Here are a few tips to help you make some informed purchase decisions before you get to the check out line.

Research Your Options
I know no one has the time to research everything on the shopping list but some products do deserve a little extra consideration before they find their way into your home. For example cleaning and removal products, bonding agents like glues and adhesives, or products for personal hygiene and cosmetics. Taking a little more time at home to find the right brand will save you time in a hectic store during the holidays. Tip: no in store staff will know more about a product you want to buy than the company that produces it! Company websites have oodles of info on their products and where to buy them to help you make the right decision before you even step out the door.

Know What Is In Your Products
Today's ingredient lists can be confusing and often it seems like you need to be a chemical engineer to understand the health risks for any particular product. My number 1 go to method for product safety is reading the MSDS or SDS info sheet commonly found on your products company website. Material Safety Data Sheets will list any chemicals in a product that could pose a health concern and break down how those chemicals can effect your health and the environment. They also have a very useful first aid info section if you ever have an accident!

Reading Product Labels and Avoid Green Washing   
Product labels are your last research point before the item goes in the cart. Companies have become increasingly more clever with their label designs to get you to buy. A few things to keep an eye out for are false claims, labels will often show what appears to be a green certification mark but it turns out to be a cleverly designed logo with no legitimate safer option claim. Clever color schemes and product names can also be misleading. Labels with green colors or even have the word green in the name can give you a false sense of safety when in fact the product contains chemicals known to cause harm to human health.

At the end of the day a little extra research can go a long way to keeping harmful products out of your home! Be skeptical of label claims and always use products as directed. Directions are there so you get the best and safest outcome possible. Purchase your house hold products with confidence know what your buying and how to use it right! Remember the products we see on the shelf are there based on supply and demand the more we buy safer products the better our options will become. That is how you control the market and make safer choices with purchase power!

Paint Stripper Basics

Whether it's removing paint from baseboards and trim, or removing the varnish from furniture, EZ Strip can help you do the job! Removing paint from doors, baseboards and trim, or removing the varnish from a vintage piece of furniture, chances are you'll need to use some chemical strippers to do the job. There are numerous products for these types of jobs available in the paint department of your home center.

• Check the label carefully, and make sure that you're purchasing a stripper that's right for your job! Most strippers are specifically formulated for either paints, stains, varnishes, epoxy and other finishes, and they are not interchangeable. Some are suitable for wood surfaces, while others are designed for metal, masonry, etc.  
• EZ Strip products are formulated to strip a wide variety of finishes safely from most surfaces so you know your getting the right product for your project every time! 
• Thicker stripping solutions are recommended for ease of use. They tend to stick better on vertical surfaces, and make detail work easier. They also evaporate slower than liquid strippers giving you more bang for your buck.
• EZ Strip strippers have a no drip gel solution for easy application that clings to the surface you're stripping. The gel also has a wet working system so it keeps working longer than other chemical strippers.  

 Tip: Whether you're stripping paint or varnish, use inexpensive paintbrushes. Since the stripper is simply applied and removed, it's not critical that it's applied smoothly.

Tip: Before you start your job, pour a portion of the stripper into a glass jar. Use that portion for dipping your brush. If you need more, simply add more stripper from the original container into the jar. In that way, you won't be contaminating all of the stripper by dipping your brush repeatedly into the original container.

• If you're stripping a piece of furniture, work from the top down as you apply the stripper. That method makes it easier to cover all of the surfaces uniformly.
  
• For flat surfaces such as cabinet doors, remove and lay the pieces flat if possible. This makes it easier to apply an even coat and to remove the stripper once the chemical has done its work.
•  For stubborn paint or varnish finishes it also helps to lay sheets of plastic wrap over the wet stripper. This prevents stripper from drying out allowing for longer set times, let the stripper do the work for you.

Tip: Use a plastic putty-knife for scraping away the stripper and softened paint or varnish from wood. Try to select one that won't damage the surface of wood, and use caution as you scrape. Always scrape with the wood grain.

• Finally, be patient. Stripping finishes can be tedious and time-consuming, particularly for intricate pieces and detail work. Being patient and methodical pays off.

Always keep in mind most chemical strippers have very toxic fumes and can be absorbed by the skin, cause extreme burns, and make you very sick! Always know what your working with, check labeling for health concerns, and read the MSDS/SDS product information sheets (available online) for protective safety equipment required for the product you want to use. EZ Strip has formulated their removal strippers and cleaners to be skin safe and free of toxic fumes because they care about your health and safety. Be sure to pick a safe and effective stripper for your next removal project to ensure a pleasant and successful experience! 

Recap

• Choose the correct type of stripper for your project.
  
• Wear safety glasses and gloves as a minimum - know what your using!
  
• Be patient let the stripper do the work for you
