There are 2 round yellow stains on our ceiling underneath a bathroom. They are about the size of a hockey puck. How can I remove or hide these stains? The ceiling is stippled. The stains appeared one day and were wet but it has never happened again. Someone mentioned using baby powder or something?

Answer:
I had the same problem in my dining room when the toilet upstairs had a leak. What I had to do was take a brush and work Kilz into the area. This will stop the stain from bleeding through. It's available at any hardware or paint store... just beware... it smells really awful! It is white... I'm guessing your ceilings are white. If not, after the Kilz has dried, (and it may take more than one application), then touch up with the ceiling color. Good luck!
