At the time when you were young you probably hated working. But actually your dad set you up for life 👍👍💪🏻

Yeah, I tried getting out of drywall many times, and now I'm glad I didn't, lol. Especially since this KZbin channel will now be the retirement I would never have had.

[@MrMarvel1994]

After washing your video, I feel like my son, I can do this. I appreciate the details . It helps, I was discourage and was about to hire a professional, but with this video I believe we can do it. As a 59 year old woman I have confidence. Thank you so much for this video.

[@kellyharbour7140]

Stomped. Patched an area in my garage and this is exactly what I’ve been looking for. Getting the stomp tool tomorrow. THANKS!

[@edsautter51]

I'm a "as smooth as you can" kind of guy with drywall. No tape seams showing. But that said the apartment I'm dealing with has texture that I need to match. I know from your video just how to deal with it. It won't be perfect but I can now feel comfortable dealing with my repairs. Your examples were straight forward and very clear. Thank!!

[@chelseakautza6652]

Thanks for the help. We originally did this texture on several ceilings after repairing cracks, about 9 years ago. In that time we forgot the technique and now had to patch a few areas and match the texture after putting in can lights. Thanks to your video it was a breeze.

[@JackeMitchell]

I like the stomp texture before the knock down. I am just learning to play with mud at 77 years old. I did an entire bedroom in a rough texture just using my hands and love it but was time consuming to paint. I am attempting a bathroom ceiling next and think this stomp texture will work. Thanks for the video.

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

Sounds great!

[@rodmoore1998]

Thank You! I have been repairing my storm damaged house and was having a hell of a time figuring out the right way to do this.

[@babygap00]

Love the “bonus “ texture that’s what we have been slowly switching our house over to

[@86whyklynn]

That is so sweet that tip with trowel pan. There's so many fancy or plastic ones out there that cost more than the easy cheap alterations.

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

Glad to help! Thanks for commenting

[@dansklenicka8403]

My whole house is in this texture, do love the look but sure do like orange peel and knock down better. Just remodeled our master bath room left the stomp on the ceiling and did knock down on the new drywall. Haven’t perfected this look quite yet but will practices a little more after watching your video.. thanks for the how to..

[@MrNorthstar50]

Good video , I did that texture here in Texas back in early 70's we called it crowfoot drag , it was mostly done in dining rooms and entry halls.We made it thicker and just knocked the tips down.This was before light mud and we had to wait along time before it was ready to drag.

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

I have found that many textures go by a number of different names. Even some of the common textures just have different names in different parts of the country. But I have heard it called a Crowfoot texture before. Thanks for sharing, and welcome in to our community.

Thank you both for all the great videos!! I am very touched to hear your bad news and how many are willing to help, love you both.

[@jasonklein3461]

I have a stomp knock down to repair tomorrow, and your video was very helpful. Thanks!!!

[@kathym7801]

Thank you for your video. I scraped a popcorn ceiling and used the brush by applying the mud onto the brush and stamping it onto the ceiling to lightly texture my ceiling. It was quick and easy, not messy and looks great! I’m going to start working on another room doing the same method.

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

Awesome, glad to hear it. 😎

[@Young937phoenix]

I tore out a wall from my living room and kitchen to open it up and built a 4x8 foot island. That’s been done for 2 years but I been scared to try to match the ceiling stomp crows foot. Imma try it 2marrow. Thanks for your video now I’m not worried about doing it.

[@JeanetteS.-sg4bc]

Hi, like the sponge hint. I've done many knock down patches and have found it much easier and blends better to let the mud dry completely and then sand it for the knock down. Using a blade it tends to ride on the old texture and translate ridges to the new patch.

[@jackryan2451]

Thank you very much for the links to the stomp brushes. That's exactly what I was looking for. Thank you, thank you.

[@Hawke1765]

Thank you for the video and tips. I have a old wall papered wall that looks like a nightmare after scraping. This technique is exactly what I needed to fix it.

[@ebucher]

Thanks for this, it’s exactly what I needed. I have some damage to my ceiling and I need to repair a small area. The current ceiling has the softer pattern, not knocked down.

[@mikeholley4488]

The knockdown looks great

[@tracyross4334]

Perfect way for me to get a knock down look on a ceiling in a small kitchen that needs to be covered. So happy I will not need to rent all that equipment. Thanks.

[@stashagarcia101]

Thank you for showing this texture. Its onnthe ceilings of my new house and i plan to wall up a 4 ft square skylight in the kitchen and was scared to death of not being able to match the pattern. Ive seen that straw brush but thought this might be done with something that looked more like a rope mop. Now i know why i couldn't find the tool.

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

Stasha, Thanks, glad I could help you out 😎. And thanks for subscribing!

[@joshwilkinson8966]

I'm going to do this with our entire ceiling on our new house we are building ourselves because the ceiling mudding is alot of work. This is easy and more unique than a smooth looking ceiling.

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

You got it, thanks for subscribing!

[@Rikkcas]

Hi Guy. That’s exactly how I did my walls, I mentioned in those other comments you replied to. It’s a very similar technique to a stucco finish some call ‘travertine’. The troweling is done in horizontal sweeps to mimic strata in stone. I waited until it set a bit, then gently knocked it down with a 16” rounded pool trowel. Its a heavy texture, but it left some nice shadow effect. If the brush application is done with a slightly circular twist motion, and then radial troweling, its called ‘peacock’. They were more commonly used many years ago by Italian plasterers. Not as much these days. My wife then painted it with me. We did a base color first with a roller, then followed with a light sponge wash in a similar, but slightly different shade, after the first coat dried. Both are yellow/ocher shades. I think the base was Palomino Gold, and the top coat was Venetian Stucco. It gave it a subtle, slightly mottled look. I’m gonna try that roller application you suggested over the popcorn. Probably a while yet before I tackle that, but I’ll let you know how it turns out. Love your videos! Thanks again!! 👍🏼

[@jackheilmann3739]

I like the knock down version better. Thanks for a great video!

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

I prefer the knockdown version too. Thanks for letting me know.

[@jackheilmann3739]

@@ThatKiltedGuyDIY I was asked to match a similar texture two years ago for a customer. I thought it looked like mud applied with a roller (I used a 1/2" Purdy Colossus) and then a small knock down knife

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

Matching textures is one of the toughest Art aspects of doing repairs. Knowing how to coat a repair properly is one thing, but then having to match a texture, that's a whole nother level. Some are easy, like orange peel textures, but the knockdown can be quite tricky since you have to guess at the size, thickness and density of drops to spray on, then let it sit 5 minutes, and then knock it down to see what it looks like. But hand textures can sometimes be the worst. There's literally dozens and dozens of ways to apply a custom, or hand texture and even I can know them all. So sometimes we have to use our best guestimate and hope it works. 99% of the time, it does for me, but I've done probably 5,000 repairs by now, over 15 years of doing nothing but small jobs. Thanks for the comments, and feel free to add more thoughts if you have them. Guy

[@harmonystevens7168]

I love this video and want to try the technique! An you please tell me how you prep the wall before applying the mud, and do you need to sand when you use this technique?

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

If going over raw drywall just dust. If going over a painted surface you need to sand it first so the mud sticks.

[@harmonystevens7168]

That Kilted Guy DIY Home Improvement thanks for the quick response! It will be on a finished painted ceiling. Do I need to add any other products to prep, or just sand first?

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

Just sanding can be enough. But if you want extra adhesion, you can add some wood glue, like 1/4 cup per box. It makes the mud feel a little more sticky, but nothing terrible. Note that regular weight all purpose has the most adhesive from the manufacturer, lightweights a little less, and topping has the least.

[@clintfugett6941]

I have the texture you show at 1:55 in your video. How do you match that type? I can't match it for the life of me.

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

This type of texture is one that takes a lot of experimenting. Experiment with different mud thicknesses, and you might try adding a half cup of paint per gallon of mud, and even different brushes. But more likely it’s going to require several coats of paint to soften it out like that once you get the pattern close.

Depends on the texture. None will hide bad humps or lousy finishing. I always do at least a decent job even for the heaviest texture

[@jamiemarcum8743]

Something no one mentions is can you stomp on bare drywall on ceilings or should it be painted first. , I always prime ceilings before I stomp them. If not, it doesn’t seem to bond to the ceiling to good

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

It’s recommended that you prime first, but most drywaller‘s don’t because it sticks fine if it’s not dusty.

[@mikokiwi2]

I like the knockdown textures. Thanks for the tip. But are we using # 3 mud?

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

Hello and thanks for the question. For this texture you can use most any all purpose mud, or a topping mud. I'm using the USG Plus 3 mud for this example. If you use other muds, (aka Joint Compound), be sure to read the box and make sure it's ok for textures or decorating.

[@claudiodominguez.]

With knockdown for this guy.

[@cathyhollinger5013]

What kind of texture our you using ? Can you show me how to patch a texture hole in ceiling?

It depends, experiment

[@matthewgrubb1778]

How long did you wait for it to setup before using the plastic knife to knock it down a little?

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

Usually only 2 to 5 minutes, but it really depends on the room humidity, air movement, temperature, etc. You might want to experiment on a small section 1st.

[@86whyklynn]

Hey we can't afford to join as a member bc all our remodel work doing on our own but in your experience doing numerous different textured ceilings which method uses the least amount of mud product? Gotta save money, also do you recommend adding paint primer instead of water for thinning or does that just use more paint bc you'll have to go back over with solid all over paint layer anyway for proper sealing of mud? Thank you so much in Advance and Im happy I found your page and best wishes for business success!

[@mr.kenslifeshop4034]

I liked it better knocked down. As somebody who does knockdown texture is fairly regular the only downfall to this one as you have to apply the mud on the ceiling vs spraying. But I definitely see why this would be a good thing to show a homeowner because yeah they would be able to do this without hiring somebody whereas I sprayed knockdown would be a little harder.

Thxs so much o have to match one on one of my jobs. The one im doing has some kind points on it.

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

It may just be this texture, without knocking it down. Might be thicker mud too.

[@kaybonette]

Thank you for this video. We recently purchased a house with a texture I had never seen before. It was very fine raised lines around 3" to 4" in length going in all different directions. Previous owners had cut a pass thru into the wall between the kitchen and dining room which we closed up. I debated just skim coating both sides of the wall but decided to buy a stomp brush to see if I could copy the pattern. I tried dipping the brush into thin mud but it was way too busy. I will try a thin mud coat on the wall first as you showed and see if that works better. By the way how do you suggest I dry my stomp brush to keep it flat? Thanks so much.

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

I wash it out, shake it out, form the bristles, and let it dry flat on plywood or concrete or something

[@yaffayaffaful]

I liked the knockdown look....is it true that people wear nothing under the kilt? Thanks for the video

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

Thanks for the vote. And yes, why would I wear any clothing I don't need, it would take away from the coolness, and freedom of movement.

[@theresmoretothestory2381]

You are such a great resource. Thank you.

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

Thanks! I really appreciate that and love helping you guys.

[@dragonlaughing]

I like it knocked down. Still, I thought I might try the flattening techniques in a strie pattern. I'm considering it for a bathroom.

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

Knocked down seems to be the favorite, and I agree. Thanks for commenting. See you on the next one. 😎

[@bryandold2290]

Guy- Thank you for serving. Can I use a hopper like this to spray texture then stomp? My first attempt with troweling it on didn't turn out great.

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

I’ve never tried that. I think you probably can but did you try rolling the mud on instead of troweling?

[@bryandold2290]

@@ThatKiltedGuyDIY No I didn't. I will try rolling on the next room. When you tape up to the corners of the ceiling are you trying to get as close to the corner as possible?

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

Tape? If you mean texture, you can’t really get it all the way to the edge, but you can get close.

[@daddiowen]

I have an old acoustic ceiling (nailed and stapled, not hung) and acoustic wall installation. Is it possible to use your techniques, which could also fill the tile gaps?

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

If you mean the fiber type acoustical panels I wouldn't try to do any drywall over those.

[@daddiowen]

@@ThatKiltedGuyDIY I just meant texturing, not hanging drywall. It's a cellulose-based tile (no asbestos).

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

I figured that’s what you meant. I’ve seen people texture them so I guess you could. But I wouldn’t do it. But it’s probably doable.
