Armstrong Ceiling Tile 'touch up'

Hello,

I have a suspended Armstrong Ceiling and some of my tile are 'scratched/scruffed'. Someone said instead of replacing, which I don't want to do, they said to touch them up with something white like white out or something like that. My question is what is the best thing to use to touch them up that wouldn't be so noticeable?

Thanks!

I install those ceilings for a living and we use white bathroom caulk to fix chips and scuffs in the tiles we install. Its the Dap brand in the squeezable tubes with a red label. How old are the tiles? If they are newer the caulks color will kinda change just like the ceilings tile color changes with age.

exposed insulation for ceiling

H

hall7419 on Feb 18, 2009

my husband is building our guest house/game room and wants to have the ceiling as just exposed sprayed in insulation. Is there a name for this or does anyone have pictures of this so I can see if it is something I would actually consider. My husband says they have different colors and they can make it look nice. any suggestions?? we are trying to make this project as cost effective as possible without compromising the beauty of the structure too much.

Drywall too thick after wood panel removal?

reston guy on Feb 16, 2009

I took down paneling and once I got the drywall back up I realized that the drywall (1/2 inch) sticks out further than the door and window frames. :eek: Anybody have any advice on how to correct this so the molding will sit flush?
