Reply to comment by EntasaurusWrecked in [Question] will DIY popcorn ceiling removal tactics work as well on daybed in plaster? by kharmatika

It's how it is done. You take drywall mud, and you mix it with water. Take a mop looking device and put it into the bucket, then put it onto the ceiling. Then pull down.
Another way is to use a sponge. Another way is to use a tile grout float. It was a fairly common texture technique.

Artex- unless you installed it, you don’t know what it is without testing

Have you ever done this style of texture. I bet not. Have you even done any drywall work at all.

Why are you so invested in arguing against a simple test in a reasonable situation that can prevent catastrophic lung damage? I never said you were wrong. We can both be right. Those are ways to do the job. There are other common ways to do the same job, and unless you installed it, you don’t know for sure. Risking asbestosis/mesothelioma for want of convenience is not reasonable, in my opinion. Good night..
