Patching An Orange Peel Textured Ceiling?

d's

Hey gang,

I normally stay away from texture but someone's asked me to do a repair and just wanted to confirm my technique.

Its a butt joint in a 10 year old condo that has bubbled up. The owners are repainting so want the defect repaired. I've scraped back 10" both sides and removed the old tape - opened up the joint, removed loose paper, and rescrewed - retaped with mesh and confil - coated with AP-

OK so far?

I'll probably recoat, sand, prime, and use the texture in a spray can blending back into existing texture to complete the job.

Is this adequate or am I missing something?

Thanks,
D'S

I like to wetsponge the edge of my topcoat to better "feather" it in. Watch for overspray because it will stain.
