Best Habitation Pop-Nails On Ceiling

I'm commencement to hap updating the nous bedroom.  I idea that past times this time, the halt of the year, I'd last showing you lot a reveal, non fifty-fifty close!  Instead, the initiative of all employment that got fixed is what I'm showing you lot today!

The whole room needs a proficient coat of paint.  Obviously, the ceiling is the initiative of all to last painted.

In lodge to larn a proficient pigment job, it is necessary to develop the surfaces thoroughly.  It way all those little, medium together with large holes I could take in real good upwards at that spot on the ceiling had to last patched.

Those are Pop-Nails!

  

Long fourth dimension agone when at that spot were alone 2 pop-nails visible, I tried to cook them past times merely pushing them dorsum inwards together with patching the hole.  Silly me.  It didn't work!  And,  like if they were laughing at me, 3 to a greater extent than appeared on this side.

And many to a greater extent than to the other side!

Looking for answers, I institute a bully article past times Jim Rooney at Capital Gazette.com, where he explains why this occurs, together with the way to cook that problem.

The pop-nails were taken out!   Hubby helped me amongst this part.  Look at the slice of shim he grabbed! the i I used for stirring paint! :D  Oh boy!

Nail Puller

Even though the article recommends pulling the nails out together with patching the holes without driving a screw  in the places where the ceiling meets the walls, I exactly didn't produce it!  (I couldn't alive thinking that my roof could wing away!),  I drove a screw inwards every hole.  Later on I'll allow you lot know if they come upwards out again.

I don't know why they withal purpose nails?!  They are destined to come upwards out, peculiarly on ceilings where, I guess, gravity helps!

Well, afterward driving a screw inwards each hole, it was fourth dimension to spell upwards e-v-e-r-y i of them.  For that I used All Purpose Joint Compound,  a sanding block ( the block was tardily to purpose together with all I needed, I didn't purpose the screens), together with a 6-inch taping knife.

The adjacent left motion painting shows i of the holes covered amongst i full, fresh coat of compound. When it dried, it shrunk.  Wait until it is completely dry to apply a novel coat.

After 2 or 3 coats, inwards about of them, together with proficient sanding,  it looks similar I don't fifty-fifty demand to paint!  Just kidding :)

It surely looks way better!
