easy way to touch up textured celing with drywall mud,paint brush well not work?

Question

it is to small to be popcorn,not sweraled so i do not think crows feet,looks like pebbles,it is small balls in apperance

i want to use drywall mud,as there is only a few places i need to touch up

Answer 1

Take the mud and put it in a plastic bowl, then thin it out with a little bit of water-to about the consistency of brownie mix. Dab the mixture on the surface with a kitchen sponge- works great!

Answer 2

After thousands of gallons of MUD and paint, I note PC gives you some valuable suggestions.

A few more details might be helpful to us. IE: Type of texture; Define Touch Up (the texture or the paint).

Certainly there are aerosol Popcorn touchups available. Knockdown might be a bit more challenging for a DIY. Pebble textures, or textures such as those in drop celing tiles would take some effort as well.

Knowing the type of texture would help us answer more clearly; rather than assuming.

What type of texture is it? Popcorn, crows foot, regular stomp or what? If it is popcorn and you try to brush or roll this it will fall off in sheets if you roll back and forth too much...They make texture in a can that can be knockdown popcorn etc...here are some examples..they also make aeresol touch up for ceilings etc
