ready mix for texturing
I want to create a plaster effect in our spare room. Can I use jointing compound to create a stipple or swirl pattern on the ceiling?
Theres a tub of ready mix left over by the taper and jointer and didnt want to waste it.
Thanks!

If the ceilings recently been taped, you can. If it hasnt been painted then you can apply it directly onto the boards without any PVA solution. It may take days for this stuff to dry if it is a heavy texture, so if you need it to dry out in a hurry I would use a real texturing compound like artex which sets hard within an hour or so.
Jesus loves you........ everyone else thinks you're an arsehole.

I've used it and had no problems. Just remember to prime coat then paint it. I dont think it would stay up long otherwise.

That stuffs sets hard as nails and tricky to sand, good idea to use it up doing a ceiling texture.
