>> hi,
>>
>> i have a textured ceiling with a pattern that resembles a daisy, with
>> about 8 petals. i had a problem with a leaking shower that was
>> corrected which leaves me with some repair to the downstairs ceiling.
>> I beleive i have the tools, the mud, putty knife, and circular brush
>> bought at home depot which the clerk told me will duplicate the
>> pattern i have.
>>
>> so this is a technique question, how much water do i mix into the
>> pre-mixed mud to create a consistency that will be easy to tool on
>> this job? and two, what technique do i use to do this job right?
>>
>> thanks in advance.
