Anyone use this with a roller for popcorn ceilings?

I haven't done this and wouldn't - Instagone is highly effective because it's also VERY STRONG/CAUSTIC. Unless you can protect all surfaces and yourself, you would not want any of this to splash - and a roller on a popcorn ceiling would surely make a mess. (As a watery liquid on a roller, I also doubt it would make consistent enough contact to uniformly clean the ceiling.)

No ... no experience with that ... BUT ... I did have a water stain in the family room. I applied Instagone with a clean paint brush ... gone! Worked great.

I wet the surface with a spray bottle of warm water. It makes it a little messier, but the tool contains much of the mess, but protecting floors, etc, still required. Tool can be used without wetting, but you run a bigger risk of damaging the drywall under the popcorn.

I have used mine for that as well and it does a good job. However my mop seems to swivel so freely that I have a hard time getting it flat with the wall. I borrowed one like this from my grand daughter and it was much easier to handle for walls and ceilings.

All is well and good removing popcorn finish with this sander, but BEWARE no matter how much this says "dust free", popcorn ceilings are known for having asbestos. There are tests to find out. If so, I recommend full garb, tenting room off, and definitely wearing a respirator no matter what! Popcorn finish should be wet so as not to spread asbestos, but this sander won't work with wet so it's worth researching BEFORE tackling a popcorn ceiling with this sander!

You can use it for spray ceiling but I never use it for popcorn texture so can't tell.

I would not recommend trying to put it on a slanted ceiling. It should work on popcorn ceilings...

Nothing in the paperwork says it will handle a power roller. They do state to keep the spray trigger locked when not using due to the pressure it is under. Sorry this isn't more helpful.

I believe so but because of the pro joint technology you have to tighten it buy spinning it so once it hits the ceiling the popcorn will start coming off and you will probably need to make sure it is extra stable before you do any tricks or anything. Hope that helps

I have popcorn ceilings and since the contact is not smooth, I use a piece of 1/2-3/4 inch plywood, against the direction of the joists, between the pole and ceiling. And since I have plush carpeting, I also use plywood at the base of the pole and once it's tightened, it doesn't move! The wood pieces need to be large enough to make contact with the ENTIRE pole surface.

I have used it but I bought a 12" roller from Harbor Freight and placed it on the edge surface of a 2 x 4 and used it that way. This made sure that it didn't drag too much over the surface. It might work just find by itself but you might try it and then try my suggestion.I am using it with a Craftsman Professional table saw with a 30" fence width.

as long as your ratio is right in achieving something elastic but only slightly sticky, and you keep the dough going through the roller lightly flowered. you should be fine. only one way to find out! go for it!

I use it with my 3 inch velcro rollers. Just be sure that you run it on low heat, and the slowest speed. I have long hair so it doesn't really give me the effect I want. I have to run it for longer than 20 minutes

It does a pretty good job of catching most of the dust with the vacuume attachment but I wouldn't use it with asbestos. I am super happy with this sander and wouldn't do another ceiling without it. Good luck.

Yes, I used it to do just that. I highly recommend it. I did find that I had to rake it and spray a lot of water for the moisture to penetrate behind the paint and loosen the glue holding the popcorn on. I was soaked with water and covered with little bits of popcorn. However, since it is painted, it comes off in bigger pieces because it is held together. Attach a produce bag to catch the pieces you scrape off. Cover EVERYTHING under you.

It has some very crude rollers, but they don't work very well. I typically just pick it up to move it from room to room.

It'll work. I wouldn't though. It has a 3-4 inch spray pattern which requires several passes for an adequate coat. Would take several hours for a 10x10 ceiling. Rollering will be 5x faster.
