**dm01** · 11-11-2008, 03:00 PM

I'm having a small problem with the popcorn finish that was oh so trendy in the seventies. The finish peels off just fine from most of the ceiling. The problem is where two drywall panels meet; the finish here simply refuses to budge. I have tried water, dish soap, methylated spirits, and acetone. Does anyone have an idea for how to remove this?
