EASY Skip trowel texture using a Venetian Plaster Trowel

I use an Unaggregated Wall and Ceiling Spray Texture (no sand added) for most of my wall textures including this skip trowel technique.

Mix the mud just thick enough to stay on a hawk without running off. The thicker the mud the deeper the texture. Using a 14" Drywall trowel, apply the mud to the wall in a random pattern. Then, using a Venetian Plaster Trowel, smooth/skip out the mud. Venetian Plaster Trowels have bevelled edges and rounded corners for smoothing and feathering plaster.

Hi Mat we would love you make a video how to replace old windows and install new ones

Oh my goodness, this looks rather laborious. Maybe it was just the accelerated pace. In any event, this method appears to be rather involved as you seem to be hitting the same areas multiple times. Does this not amount to a 'knockdown' texture?

Given all the effort you’ve put into creating that texture, sanding, and kicking up clouds of silica dust, you might as well have gone all the way with a Level 5 finish and aimed for flawlessly smooth walls 😂.

you went way to fast; it would have been nice to see it done slowly then you could have sped up.

[CristianMartinez-kfgz]

Why would you do a level 4 finish just to do that horrendous texture ? You could of done a regular knockdown finish 2 coats and done this

[barryhornby]

Why didn't you slow this down to normal speed so I can actually see what you're doing

How to do an editorial video or training video! SLOW IT DOWN!!

Can't tell what the hell you're doing.
