Set compressor to 80-85psi, spray in circles not straight lines, heavier texture start with smallest nozzle first, open up the pressure bolt (back of gun), if desired texture isn't there then move your way up. Never start with big nozzle....

I tried to do this once, it looked like I put the plaster in my mouth and spit it on the wall. You make it look so easy.

That 8 mm is for doing popcorn ceilings. I have a handyman business and do a lot of drywall repairs over the years and I’ve never actually had to repair a popcorn ceiling. Thankfully in my area that little fad from the late 70’s and 80’s never caught on. Haha man I remember when I was a kid there were people in the Bay Area where i grew up were having popcorn ceilings done to their homes on a perfectly good smooth wall ceiling. They even had the drywall companies add sparkles to the ceilings. 😀
Thank god where I live now no one did that.

Thank you for taking the time to make a great video. Do you have a video how you did the skim coat?

[steve]

Can u use the bigger tip and let it sit for a min and then use a trial to knock it down and flatten it out?

[Chris-mfgb]

This video got me shopping for this compressor n hopper 😅to start my home project

[kipcarbone]

question… does your gun spray air constantly? I bought this gun but cant maintain a high psi for a fine orange peel

[ThumblessMike]

Informative video.
I know it’s not the focus here (and it may not have even been your decision), but I feel that the job suffers by not repairing those dents, visible at 9:24. Texture masks some imperfections, but it won’t mask those, for those who might get that impression due to the failure to address them. Not terrible, but it would bother me a bit.

Something you gotta try some time is a clamp light with 100 watt bulb clamped on the top of your hopper. Gives a sweet view of your pattern on a ceiling as you walk backwards, little more learning curve on walls but still very nice. Keep it shining sideways along the surface and use it to look around and check for spots that need more texture.

Whats the best way to clean a wall after sanding?

[wandah]

Question for the board: When is the drywall primer applied ---- BEFORE texturing, or, AFTER texturing?? Thanks!!

[yatessnyder]

What if I want to remove texture on my ceilings XD. Do you have a video for that?

[FAhmad]

Great tutorial sir thank you very much!

[alazon]

Great tutorial, thanks. Here’s the question, can I mix paint or dye with the plaster?

[jxiziib]

I like that the hopper funnel is ergonomic 😂

[johnromero]

Great video! Very helpful. Wish I would have seen this before blowing $20.00 a can on which do about a 25 sq ft. - 85 square feet my ass...

[mrvvoo]

This was really helpful. Thanks!

You missed out on mentioning the PSI in the video which was driving me nuts, but I saw you answered in the comments 100 psi. Maybe add that to your video description or a pinned comment 👌

Thanks again!

This is a really good video on actually knowing how to learn it. The other videos skip too much information and too many steps. Thanks

You need to paint before putting on electrical covers and toilet paper fixtures back on. Don’t paint around those things.

Quick question. My orange peel is larger than yours. Did I mix it too thin or too thick?
I set the air compressor at 100 PSI but it was more like 60 when spraying a large area with the smaller compressor
