Answer This Question
A:Â I ended up attaching plastic grocery bags to the device using binder clips. The bags fill quickly & get heavy. So, I allowed the scrapings to fall directly into cheap plastic sheets which I rolled up & tossed. Going back to the plastic bags, I made a tube of plastic bags using 2 inch packing tape that directed the scrapings into a large trash Barrell. Of the methods I tried, the middle was the quickest to use.

A:Â Plastic clips should be included. Use a small wastebasket bag or a plastic shopping bag. Put the bag on and slide the clips onto the edges to hold it in place

A:Â There is a ring of sorts (square that is below the scrapper itself) it is slightly larger than the scrapper - you get a plastic bag from the grocery store or home depot or wherever and wrap it around the attached ring. Easiest way i found is to put the bag through the middle and wrap it over the ring - then use the ( i believe it is 6 or 8) clips over the top of the bag to hold it in place. Be ready for it to get a bit heavy with the water and the popcorn so get a few bags and replace it when it is getting heavy.
another note - watch the corners of the scrapper itself (I slightly bent mine so i would not get the corners scratching the ceiling) - it is very hard to see in the picture but the thing that looks like a line above the scrapper is the ring that is around the scrapper.

A:Â Honestly some Walmart plastic bags did the trick for me. You just need to have plenty of them because the bags fill up quickly.

A: Just standard shopping bags. The wet paste that you scrape off gets pretty heavy after you collect a bit. You don’t want a bag much bigger than that.

A:Â Yes, there are threads for this. I didn't use a pole, though, as any extra wobble might gouge your wallboard on the ceiling. It's a great upper body workout either way!

Great tool if you modify it
Even after applying water and letting it soften, doing this job is tough. The idea of this tool is fantastic- but quality control is zero.
The metal attaching the handle to the blade is too thin of a gauge and will start bending under moderate pressure. I sandwiched this piece between two thicker pieces of steel and it seems to be holding up. I'm sure people would gladly pay $5 extra for a tool that actually works as you bought it. Shame on Homax- try a tool before you market it!

This is the perfect tool to remove popcorn ceilings and well worth the investment to do it yourself. The key is to make sure the ceiling is moist enough and this tool will remove popcorn like it is butter. I would recommend for DIYers.

Very easy to use and get results!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wish I had used the ceiling texture scraper with other ceilings. This tool made the project go fast and easy! Wanted some texture to blend drywall imperfections so the scraper was the perfect tool!

Exelent...!!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am always doing DIY projects on my own initiative but I have never had the opportunity to scratch a ceiling before but I have a small project on the way to remodel a room and I know that this tool (Celling texture Scraper) will be very useful to me. I wasn't sure how to use it but I read the instructions and did a little test and liked the results I got. I proceeded to wet an area of ​​the roof and put a bag of groceries to start scraping and immediately the debris began to fall and I noticed that the bag was heavy, that is, I do not think that a garbage bag can be placed because this would make the job difficult. getting slower and heavier ... but otherwise I found the trial time fun and safe. When the project starts the ceiling area will be bigger and I hope to be able to carry it out expecting excellent results as in my test. I know that it will be very useful because I consider that it is the ideal tool for those purposes ..... good weight, firmness, and easy to maneuver ...

Caution...
I bought this product to remove the popcorn ceiling in my room. Unfortunately it did not serve well. I couldn't use it with the extension because I couldn't get the correct angle. And even with me going on a ladder and using it directly on the ceiling cause problems. I was left with dents in the ceiling. The scarper requires a constant pressure and angle to slide. Unfortunately the bag can get heavy pretty quickly and on top of that it is seemingly impossible to get get the angle for an even scrap. I wish I just had a tool to hold a bag underneath the area I was scarper. The whole reason I got this tool was to make less of a mess but I don't think the dents were worth it as I had to get putty to smooth out the dents after.
Some people may have luck with this tool however I urge buyers to read all the reviews before deciding if this tool is for them.

Just use a taping knife and a tarp on the floor
Thought it was a cool concept, but this is one of the worst tools in action.
1. As the bag gets filled in it spills bits here and there so you’ll still need to cover the floor for easier cleanup.
2. Bag gets super heavy as it collects so you have to constantly empty it or need to waste a lot of energy holding it up and scraping
3. Way more force is required to do a simple task since the scraper is dull.
Best advice i can give is get a spay bottle from the dollar store and spay it with some water, wait a bit. Then scrape it with a taping knife. Way less effort, bit messy but if you have a plastic tarp throw it on the floor for a easier cleanup and way less dust than dry scraping.
