Thank you for the video. I started screening it and it helped out so much with not having streaks or chunks

Great videos the only thing I do differently is when I cut out existing drywall with the texture on it is I take a peice of new drywall and put them side by side and do a test shoot to make sure the match is spot on and the only reason is because using different hoppers can throw of the pattern I've learned

I like to see how other finishers do butt joints, you're a pan and knife guy so it would be nice to see your technique on butt joints....👍 keep up the good work

This was a fantastic texture video! Short and I loved the bucket lid screen and am going to make one [shows how thin the mix needs to be for Orange Peel]. That adjustable (all texture) hopper is cool better than changing nozzles. I was forced to do texture on some subcontracted jobs recently with the Homax cans and it was a learning curve which included not shooting and the largest settings by dialing it way back to get Orange Peel not popcorn. QUESTION: I've always heard the great thing about texture is it hides imperfections but found that wasn't true for the cans and probably only for the hopper IF put on very very heavy. Why do so many people say this when it really isn't true??

Thanks for the tips. We can always learn some thing new.

Hey Scott thanks for this great video on shooting orange peel, I went ahead and followed your instructions sprayed it on ceilings and walls of a basement and now I’m having an issue with paint coverage I saturated the ceiling with PVA primer followed up with Glidden ceiling paint which goes on pink and dries white and I have tiger stripes all over the ceiling which really looks horrible any suggestions on what I could do to fix this or possibly what I could’ve done better prior to painting?

Need some specific info before starting this project in 2 days. 😱
Do you use aluminum screening or plastic or fiberglass? And how many holes per square inch? I've seen 14 and 16.
Great info here. Thanks for posting and for your input.

Great video Scott. Do you still screen the texture material when you use the USG spray texture powder?

Any preferred lights you use? What little texture I've done the hard part was finding the right angle of lighting so I could see the pattern going on. Usually the room is quite dark with the fixtures removed and maybe a single overhead light bulb.
