How to Spray Orange Peel and Knock-Down Textures

[@electriclife158]

Ok so I’d like to point this out. Out of all the videos on the net, wherever you find it. Nothing compares to how Leah explains all the details. She should be over a million subscribers. Leah your the best there is in the trades and this world needs more skilled people like you.

[@seejanedrill]

Thank you for your kind words.

[@adrastos761]

yes, I agree. I think she had explained this orange peel and knockdown to perfection. Her speaking voice is very easy to understand and she explained this very good, really very good. I am happy I had found this also.

[@mrnoob6471]

Thank you, I appreciate your video's. I purchased a new home with Lennar Builder, Trinity Crossing in Forney Tx. I been complaining to several representatives about my sheetrock concerns, and calk that was cracking throughout my entire home. After one year of different Lennar reps and company contractor. My family and I was suck with the complete repairs. I truly appreciate your video's. It help me build the confidence to do my own work. And it saved me thousands of dollars. Thanks again

[@Friendroid]

You are a natural. Not only in your art but in explaining it to us. Thank you!

[@reverling1]

Leah, I am a full time handyman with a wide range of skills. I very much respect and appreciate your detail and clarity. Thank you. Blessing to you Leah

[@seejanedrill]

My pleasure

Leah is the Carl Sagan of DIY. An expert in her field and an expert teacher. I promise you if you follow her directions it will go perfectly. I did,I even bought what looks like the same gun from a national discount tool store. $29 I did part of the ceiling in my bathroom over where the shower is. About 3x5 feet the spraying itself took about one minute,the set up and cleanup took longer. Thanks again Leah!

[@mcoop6969]

I've watched many of your videos through the year and I got to tell you always do me and good. Your videos always really help me out. Thank you for doing videos.

[@703am]

I've worked in home remodeling for most of my life , never did do much drywall work at all.( farmed that work out to others ) but the drywallers/finishers told me about mixing water in compound even when doing joints..your the first one to mention mixing a little water in the compound..thanks leah always enjoy your videos.

[@robertgallus4520]

I've literally been on the internet for an hour watching video after video on how to use a drywall texture gun, Leah lays it out beautifully! Any of my concerns about never using a gun have been answered. keep doing what you're doing you make it so easy for us fellow construction workers.

[@raptorrider24]

Using this informational video for a library room renovation for my Fraternity House located at Fresno State University. Thank you for this amazing videos us as students can use for our own learning process and renovation!

[@ajsbrushworksllc8348]

Leah is the only one I know on here, who could read Ikea instructions, and make them easy to understand. Great instruction, and encouragement. I'm a bit older than most on here, been painting awhile, and this taught me a few things! Well done!

[@bulldogloverlover5496]

Very nice presentation! Very encouraging and insightful. Great tip on using a larger compressor with 2.4 CFM or larger.

[@calprinicus]

Leah, your videos are the best! I did it, I drywalled & textured my garage with your wonderful help. Thank you.

[@tristanquintus3200]

Excellent demonstration and concise explanations - thank you.

[@stevedelory50]

Thanks Leah! Just bought my texture gun, and you provided a great introduction to how it works.

[@wyattsdad8561]

Great vid Leah! I do drywall for my business and you did a very thorough job explaining how to use a hopper. I wish I had instructors like you growing up. I do use my pancake compressor for texturing but it’s definitely better to use a larger compressor. When I spray whole rooms I always feel bad for my little red husky compressor as it doesn’t stop running until I’m done spraying the whole room. I keep thinking okay this is it, I’ll be buying another one of these today.. but it keeps chugging along. I’d rather use a bigger one but I need something portable for going to the different job sites.

[@DaltonMiesen]

I have watched a lot of your videos and really appreciate your teaching style. You have just the right balance of detailed explanation and hands on just do it! Thanks so much for making these!!

[@lisagonzales8163]

Explaining the tools and how to properly use them, makes your videos stand out from the rest. Very detailed and to the point, not a bunch of rambling. Keep up the great work.

[@jcc1ked]

Protect this woman at all costs. She’s amazing

[@edrodrigues9165]

Great job on instructions. I haven't used a hopper in 10 yrs. so I was looking for a video to refresh my memory. It all came back when I viewed your video.

[@jefff6167]

Ms. Leah you are a very good presenter.

[@kenpaynter2416]

Leah is a GREAT teacher. Very helpful video - thank you so much.

[@LivingAlaska]

This was a Great Video for a first timer. We are working on our Off Grid home in Alaska and just bought a texture gun. You explained everything great. Thank you!

[@Drew791]

This is exactly what I've been looking for four years! I didn't know what this was called when I saw it in my apartment bathroom, and I wanted to redo my parents house bathroom the same way. Now I know it's called Orange Peel knockdown texture oh, and how to do it! Thank you so much, and your channel is amazing. I just found it today. Don't know how I never came across your awesome videos before.

[@mac203376]

Thank you for the information you provided it was extremely helpful and insightful. Tomorrow is will be my first time spraying texture at work.

[@TuhoeTaniwha]

im a pro at youtube vids , please keep this up your explanation skills are so on point, good speed, and very direct, impressed !!

[@evandeli1]

I LOVE YOU LEAH! You make me feel like I can do all those things that so many of us were brought up to believe were "the other half's job/skill".. THANK YOU!

[@princessjonnafarms2966]

Just wanted to say “Thank You”. I usually will check you tube before starting a project and have found several of your videos to be very helpful.

[@selimgutierrez5298]

Outstanding explanation on texturing walls,you even explain the size of the tips and what kind of pattern to expect out of them,which is what I was looking for other channels here on KZbin skip that massage,thank you Leah you are a true craftsman .now I’m going to subscribe to your channel.

[@lakermark2006]

This was very helpful! I was concerned about the last part where she talked about the HP of air compressor because I only have 1 HP on mine. It worked out pretty good, although it maybe ideal to use a beefier machine, the smaller ones still work.

[@thefuturegarage]

this is phenomenal. hell of a good video. you're so articulate!

[@jhonnyrestrepo6780]

Thanks again Leah. God bless u for sharing your knowledge. Greetings from Colombia 🇨🇴

[@amandaolivieri4394]

Thank you, Incredible teaching skills, Amazing explanation!

[@JL98130]

You are absolutely awesome! You explain things so well. I have watched many other videos and all have left me confused primarily because the author clearly is guessing their way through the process and struggling to explain what, why and how. You know what you're doing and you know how to clearly articulate that to your audience. Thank you!

[@mrharlemike28]

You are amazing! I wasted time watching other videos. NOW I know how to spray texture! 😃🙏🏼 Thank you!

[@vikkivon5222]

Great tutorial! You are a natural teacher and that is a huge compliment coming from a long line of teachers!! Your explanation of every step is on point. Thank you for taking the time to do this video.

[@seejanedrill]

I appreciate the comment.

[@Eddiesmith616]

Hey Leah. I just want to say thank you for what you do for all of us D.I.Yers. You take the time to explain in a way that anyone should understand completely. I did say should..lol... I have this job coming up soon myself. Replacing a part of a rain damaged ceiling. Keep up the great content that you do. Hope you have a great weekend!!!

[@CrankyPantss]

I missed this video last week. I don't know how, but I got unsubscribed from a bunch of channels. How rude, right? Thanks for sharing this with us. I always enjoy how thoroughly you explain things to us.

[@seejanedrill]

Wow unsubscribed. I've been hearing about that problem.

[@FAhmad1782]

Just discovered your channel and subscribed. You're a great teacher! Clear and concise. Looking forward to watching more of your videos. Thank you for the tutorial!

[@seejanedrill]

My pleasure and welcome

[@dswegan]

Painted for 30 years and did plenty of texture in that time! Great job Leah!

[@AndTodaysProjectIs]

Great Video Leah! As you were showing the different texture examples I noticed it almost exactly matched my wall that I am looking for. Thanks!

[@alexvillareal2720]

Thank you Leah I always enjoy watching your videos and learn something new.

[@diehardfan173]

Your videos are always so precise! Thank you for the reminder/refresher. I haven’t done anything with a hopper in a while and your video nailed it for me. Handyman like me appreciate your depth and your video consistencies. Thanks much

[@jillbluerei4806]

Great video - thanks for sharing your knowledge & experience! Like your preference, I think I'll forego the knockdown & keep the orange peal.

[@clintprice2123]

Leah, you’re the best! I always enjoy watching your content.

[@seejanedrill]

clint, it's always nice to hear from you.

[@johnhess6119]

You are a great teacher Leah

[@tedkulpinski5701]

I wish every instructional video had talent like this ... great teacher!

[@Gman-qm6bv]

Excellent detailed video, thank you so much for answering my questions!

[@justaguy8841]

Nice job Leah! Thanks for the step-by-step explanation.

[@jamesmchugo9422]

Good video, you cover information everyone else I’ve watched tends to skip by. I think I’m ready to give this a try.

[@luisterrazas8141]

about to spray a pony wall I built at home. this took the intimidation out it. thanks for the tip on the compressor size too!

[@917Stefano]

Thanks Leah, I always enjoy your videos, and learn a lot. You previously did a video that explained how to use the spray cans of texture spray. For people who have a smaller area that needs to be repaired, the spray cans of texture work fine. I had a section of wall inside my garage that needed to be spray textured, and since I don't own an air compressor, I purchased a can of spray texture. I found that the video you made was the most helpful of all the KZbin videos I watched that discussed spray texturing. It took me about half a can or a third of the can to get good at it, and the end result was quite satisfactory.

[@andevipertraderpfeiffer8787]

What a simple fantastic explanation you rock

[@lifee6391]

I learned very good , thank you so much for your time and helpful tips!

[@ludyr7365]

Great explanation! Nobody explains this like you do! You’re the best!

[@Fireflyhaven]

Thank you...this helped me troubleshoot. Got bad advice to not water down the compound and I see that was most of my problem

[@JP-be3dq]

Thank you for taking the time to show us how to do this. I am about to texture my daughters bedroom.

[@QuarryTex]

Leah you are God sent!

[@pomexfishing5061]

You are one of the best step by step you tubers out there!! Thank you.

[@david5150reed]

Thank you so much. Every video I have watched of yours is very easy to follow and do because of the way you explain things. Very professional and clearly you know what you are doing. Thanks again and keep ‘em coming :)

[@junecosgrove119]

Thanks for this tutorial. You are very clear with your instructions.

[@brandonbdl]

Love how well you explain things. Thank you

[@JJ-zo7qx]

Thank you for really explaining on how to get into a Knock-down texture .....very well explained... (other videos do not explain like you did in your video)..... question: the psi of the compressor should be from 60 psi to 80 psi? Or ???? Thank you.

[@thatdiygingerguy]

This is the best explanation! Thank you.

[@gabriellequinn5811]

Leah, you’re the best! I love all of your videos. I love the way you break it down for your viewers and the positivity you spread when you say “you can do this”. Thanks for sharing!

[@teachoc9482]

Thank-you, thank-you! You make me feel like I can do anything!! I'm excited. This looks fun.

[@afzamoto5325]

I have a texture gun. But didn’t know how to use , Now i know!. Thank you for putting all this effort into making these videos.

[@takeniteasyfriend]

Thanks Leah. Your videos are incredibly useful and the pace you go is perfect 👌🏻

[@graced1786]

Thank you so much-you are such a great teacher and this was exactly what I needed.

[@stephndrew5544]

Awesome great job of being patient and explaining thanks

[@javiermartinez-ge8ss]

Thank you see Jane drill 👍👍👍👍👍👍 you teach me something new 🤝🤝🤝

[@bossdog1480]

A mate of mine does driveways with a sprayer like yours. He makes a pattern with tape and sprays over that. Comes up well.

[@BLSdarrin]

You are Awesome ! I'm going to give it a shot this weekend, so glad I found this channel

[@Zt3v3]

Holy shit, your presentation is like a tv show. Great job. Your inflection and tempo are both very professional.

[@MichaelR58]

Leah, thanks for sharing, great tutorial as always , God bless !

[@MechInvent]

I can always count on Leah for professional knowledge.

[@aytviewer2421]

Awesome explanations. Many thanks!

[@corygant4125]

You are great at explaining things. Great details.

[@angelf9800]

I got the same results using a restore roller and got a good looking texture and less messy.

[@KathyTwinkleToes]

I have questions. I have this sprayer, some exterior latex acrylic paint and outdoor wooden tables that need painting. 1) Can I use this texture sprayer to paint with latex acrylic paint? 2) I have dry test run the sprayer and I cant get the airflow to stop when the trigger is not depressed. Any suggestions? 3) What paint to water ratio would you recommend? 4) Which nozzle size would work best for paint 5/16", 1/4" or 3/16"? Love your videos!

[@indianagovernmentwatch4348]

That is a really good video. Thanks for sharing!

[@1954cobb]

Great review Leah, justed loved it, today I was looking for a texture gun to use with that new product Mike Holmes endorses called VIPEQ, It's a cork insulating product, if you decide to use your gun to apply vipeq, or any other cork insulating product I would appreciate it. The machine the product uses is an HVLP compressor, its to expensive for a 2 day job. If the gun your using in this video can do the same job, I have a 6 HP compressor. Again great work

[@stanbernal2789]

Like always great video. You cover everything step by step.

[@HipowerTune]

I was going to rent it but I saw it HF for 35 ,it was a no brainer I bought it,thanks so much

[@RRED2]

Thanks Leah, I love your videos. UK 😃

[@KristiSage]

Only my second video & it’s Leah… hi l, Leah! Great vids. Thx!

[@Vitulli1970]

You filled in some information others left out... Thank you.

[@ohmigod3339]

Love your videos, thank you!! I found this awesome workaround for knockdown patches called ‘pirate patch.’ I am not the best at DIY and my knockdown patches looked horrible. It’s literally a knockdown stencil - shockingly easy. I haven’t painted over it yet, so far so good though. I hope it looks as good painted as it does now! We’ll see soon :) if not I’ll try your methods!! :))

[@m.dustymccourt3174]

Great detail and explanation. Thank you

[@pcs56]

I will probably never need this, but I love your videos so much I watch them all! LOL!

[@edwinpn3457]

I'm a beginner and I want to paint my speaker box, very informative thank you for sharing

[@markledyard]

Everything I needed to know, perfect. Thank you!

[@dg1234ify]

I use the smaller nozzle @ 20-25 PSI to match my existing and preferred knockdown style. I mix the texture where it's like pancake batter thickness and go more sparse than your demonstration. You got me started. THX...

[@daretodream2936]

Great video! Thanks for sharing!

[@FernandoGarcia-sd3pk]

I recognize harbor freight tools anywhere, great video. What psi was your setting? I usually do 40-45

[@ErikBeach]

Great videos. I wish I'd found your channel a few weeks ago when we started prepping our house to sell.

[@JockNmystyle-]

This is a great instructional video! Thank you very much for putting this together!
