Homax 6100 Ceiling Texture Scraper Review

I've scraped the popcorn ceilings off all the ceiling in my house. I bought this when I started, thinking it would help. I've since switched over to a 10" taping knife instead.
Sure you *can* attach a plastic bag to it while you're scraping, but it won't catch everything and the weight of the bag as it fills up will hinder effective scraping of the ceiling, increasing the liklihood of gouging. Bottom line: Scraping popcorn ceilings is messy business - put down painter's plastic and go at it.
Far better IMO is to simply use a 10" or 12" taping knife (like a putty knife, except lots wider). I still use a 2" and 4" taping knife for getting around light fixtures easily.
Although the ability to attach a handle and avoid climbing up and down a ladder may seem appealing at first, it reduces the control of the scraper and increases the liklihood of gouging the ceiling. Better to use a bench of some sort to reach those typical 8 or 9' ceilings. Also, the bag attachment make it impossible to scrape parallel to the edges of the room (to avoid getting under the joint tape).

Z Pro 89100 Ready Guard Dust Barrier Review

I purchased this product about a year and a half ago with the purpose of putting it in my basement so I can spray my wood items without getting much dust on them and to also control the over spray. Kind of a self contained room within a room. The idea worked well, the problem was after a few days at least one of the poles would always come loose and fall over, taking the plastic with it and therefore you would always have to reset it up. In order to do this I had to purchase 2 sets, thus spending over $200 on the 4 poles which in my opinion came loose way to easy for the price you are paying. For short periods of time this would work well, but not for extended timesZ Pro 89100 Ready Wall Paint and Dust Barrier System
