I have an 8" circle that was cut into the kitchen ceiling (was a vent?)
I would like to patch that area and then paint the whole ceiling.
The ceiling has a texture to it with swirls that look like they were done
with a hand trowel??
(nothing like my parents house that had perfect swirls that repeated over
the whole ceiling)
This is more of a pebbled surface with a light random swirl pattern.

I'm hoping I can patch the hole and then use spackle to try and match the
pattern.
or would another material give me a better chance to match??

Thanks for any help..

Maybe use a leftover piece of wallboard to experiment with different
types/thicknesses of texture,samples that do'nt match can be scraped
and retried,allow only the best candidates to dry then apply the best
process to the patch.
I never liked matching swirl texture because I've never done a
whole house or even a room and it is'nt a skill I have..The successful
matches were a fine sand and done with a cement trowel years ago..

Costs 10$ to see the most simple of procedures (such as a knockdown
texture). I don't think so!

My textured ceiling was swirled on with a 6" wallpaper pasting brush by
the plasterer when my house was built. Does yours look like it could
have been applied the same way?
The swirls were applied with plaster (joint compound) right from the hawk.
My wife actually duplicated the swirls on a bathroom ceiling, so it can
be done by a non-professional with a little talent.
