Topic tags/keywords: question ceiling basement

Just curious if anyone has suggestions for repairing ceiling tile. I’m installing 12”x12” tiles in my basement remodel with the ceiling max system which is flush to the beams, since I couldn’t afford any loss of height. My problem is when I had to work around a few pipes, to slide the tile in I had to cut a groove. Is there a way to hide these areas, I tried a pseudo drywall technique of filling the groove and then taping with masking tape which I spray painted white, but it didn’t come out great. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I use to be an acoustical journeyman in a past life. I would use an acrylic caulk to fill the gaps.

I couldn’t figure out posting pics to this area so I posted them in project area under finished basement. I plan to post a more thourough accounting of my basement project when I have more time. Thanks for the feedback so far!

the way most of us post pics in the forums section is to use a fileshare program . i use photobucket

its a free program ,you just upload your pics to it then copy and paste the html code to this text box .
this dosent work for the projects section , but you already know how to do that .

I have some of those tiles in my home and they had some gaps around the edges.I used a silicone caulking(because that’s what I had on hand) and it matched the bright white paint of the tiles perfectly.Now I have no gaps and it looks good.Hope this helps you.
