Your advice on this video helped me to get the job done right! Thank you very much!! I used to give my wife a break every weekend and make breakfast for the kids. Mostly waffles or pancakes. When you said to make the mud the same consistency, it was easy to do so. I kept mixing and adding a little water at a time until it was just right. It was my first time using a hopper but your video was a great guide and I am pleased with the result. I heard you have not been feeling great. I hope that you start to feel better soon. Take care and God bless.

[@salvadorontiveros219]

#DOITRIGHT I have been doing home renovations for about 5 years and the investors I work with typically want the houses skip troweled so my experience with orange peel applications have been minimal. I've always bought those $19 cans that don't work have the time. I've thrown away hundreds of dollars on those cans. I finally bought a Wagner texture spayey yesterday.

idk if its been said before but in another video a guy was using a piece of a side garage door seal for knockdown. its the one with the squarish side that nails to the grage door buck and the super thin side that seals on the door. it looks like the thin flappy part is really soft and makes it forgiving when using for knockdown

[@rafaelj80]

EXCELLENT VIDEO..👍.Would you recommend texturing over primer or straight on the drywall and then primer..? If you can give me your professional suggestion, it will be great. Thanks

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

You can texture straight over raw drywall. But it's not a bad idea to prime first, but most pros don't. DO prime after texturing though.

[@svenonutz5535]

I only prime first on light textures. It really helps you find imperfections you might not have seen.

[@brentandre5812]

In regards to coverage for orange peel. Is there supposed to be a complete layer of texture covering the board or will there be small gaps of the actual board showing through? Also, when you say you go over it in 2 or 3 passes, is that all in one session, or do you let it setup and then do additional passes over it? Thanks, great videos and knowledge you have.

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

Hey, coverage can be 100% or way less. You create the look you want, and it's all done in one session with no setup time and additional passes. Just like in this video.

[@diehardfan173]

Applying drywall compound requires several different passes and then between it must dry. Sometimes, sanding as needed if there are too many rough spots. Indentations can be covered with more Compound. The idea is to cover the seams and the wall with an even layer of compound So that it looks like one solid surface

[@doctorswithoutdiplomas4379]

Does it matter wether the drywall is painted and primed before doing the texturing, what would you recommend?

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

Priming before texture is a good idea but most new construction doesn’t do it, so it’s not required

[@roba2722]

Wall prep would be nice to know.

After sufficient drying time I applied a coat of drywall primer. My repair texture appears a bit lighter than the existing texture. My question: Can I apply additional texture over this painted repair texture in an attempt to achieve a closer match. Thanks so much. I really appreciate your videos.

[@amandafogg1634]

Thank you, this is super helpful! For areas of exposed drywall where I've used the sealant on brown paper do I need to put any mud over the brown paper before spraying the texture or can I just spray the texture directly onto the drywall once that sealant has dried? It's the sealant you recommended in another video, the name is just escaping me right now. This is in a bathroom so it's a mixture of the green board and the regular white board.

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

The compressor in my link is the same one I use. If you don’t run the air wide-open constantly it keeps up for smaller jobs just fine. I’ve been using it for about three years. Or you could go to the next size up. But that brand is lighter and much quieter. For a quiet compressor- amzn.to/2UnMtUg

[@MrJockito]

Great video ! Thanks

[@mimihealy5046]

The USG orange peel video shows to prime the Sheetrock before applying orange peel. It appears that most contractors apply orange peel directly to Sheetrock before priming. What have you found to be the difference between the two techniques? I have several large sections (ex. 3’ x 6’) of patches walls to cover.

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

When I did new construction with my father, we never ever primed first. And it worked just fine. I think the main difference is if you’re doing knock down, you will get a longer, more even hold out and a more even knock down. But with orange peel, I don’t feel like it matters.

[@sakurland]

Would non-prime sheetrock absorb the moister from the mud quicker resulting in a slightly different look vs a primed surface when the moster has to evaporate ?

[@michaelosterhaus4309]

Is it beneficial to paint the wall to the desired color first before spraying the texture to help with the final painting process, or is that a waste of time and money?

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

Texture first as it texture covers the wall, then prime & paint- so yes it would be a waste of time and money. Thank you for your input.

Actually, texture covers very little. Most defects will still show through a texture so it's best to fix them first. Here's a video to get you started on that- kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGjdhKSQnad7gNE As for the best covering spray texture, knockdown is good, or a heavy orange peel. Not large drops, but smaller drops and just cover the wall about 98%. I'll show that one some day. And yes, ALL raw drywall needs primed and then painted.

Should I prime my wall before applying texture?

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

I never have, but it would give you a more consistent knockdown, and I believe it's recommended.

[@curtisbme]

Lots of arguments about it from contractors from different areas. Net is that you don't have to but it if you don't it *might* telegraph more over taped areas as it will dry faster on those areas than on the drywall paper. If you are doing heavier texture I could see this being more of a problem as it might flatten out more on the paper and be more bumpy on the seams. But all of that is *might* and you will find plenty of people swearing to both positions with their "been a drywaller for XX years and never had a callback!"

[@antoniomartinez6958]

Great video my friend

[@josiahkloeckl9719]

Have you ever heard of putting dishwash soap in with your taping mud to take out air bubbles?

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

Yes, and I don’t think it helps. I’ve tried it and I can’t tell if it makes any difference. I will be testing that one day soon

[@josiahkloeckl9719]

@@ThatKiltedGuyDIY Same here, I don’t think it helps either. I feel like if it’s mixed well enough with your mixer you shouldn’t have any air bubbles in it. Have you used your hopper (after the mud is cleaned obviously haha) for painting at all and then back rolling? I am thinking about trying that next time I paint .

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

I seriously doubt it would work well and I’d go with an 18” roller first

[@lawofattractionc61]

thank you sir .... great video

Thank you!

[@dal8963]

Foid coloring in the mudd would have been great for video purposes as we can't really see it

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

That’s why I painted the sheet rock darker so it does stand out way better than if I hadn’t done that.

9’ ceiling in an 1800 sq ft house would take me 3 months to texture all the walls ?

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

lol

[@JuliaInMerica]

You missed the air compressor part - how to attach gun to it. Because people who never did it might think you dont need air compressor at all

[@masterciefl2k]

What are the steps 1) primer 2) texture 3) paint OR 1)texture 2) primer 3) paint ?

I need to learn this but i cannot see what your actually laying on the drywall , need black background and camera a lot closer

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

⭐HEY, I just now released an ebook about How to Spray a Knockdown texture that could be really helpful to you. It takes my whole video even further with things like photos showing how a medium knockdown should look when sprayed, and when knocked down. It lists the tools and supplies needed, how to mix the texture, how to adjust the sprayer in more detail, and so much more. Check it out and I think you'll find it very helpful if you plan to do this texture. Here's the link to it in my Etsy store. www.etsy.com/listing/969964231/how-to-spray-knockdown-texture-ebook?ref=shop_home_active_1 I'll be releasing one specifically for spraying Orange Peel texture as well, and may do a combined version also.

[@qzetu]

Thank you sir for the video. I have the exact same Hopper. Your video helped so much. The only question I have is what kind of air compressor are you using? Are pancake air compressors sufficient?

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

Any compressor that puts out at least 3-4 cfm can work. Higher CFM is better.

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

I use this one- kzbin.info/www/bejne/farWgoCFnrJrhMU

[@qzetu]

@@ThatKiltedGuyDIY Thank you for the response. Today I sprayed orange peel in a kitchen with the exact same Hopper. I used the rigid 2.6 @ 35 psi. It worked good but the air compressor constantly ran. I learned a valuable lesson today with regards to mixing. I mixed a whole box of multipurpose and used like 10% wasted a whole box. I also should have watered the mudd better but it still spit. I realize now that I should have primered before hand as that would have made it easier to apply consistency. It looks good but patches and so forth made it hard to see. I also need to use better lighting next time. I'm a handyman 10+ years but this was my first time doing it myself. Homeowners are happy. What's your opinion on sanding orange peel? Sanding off high points and making small plateaus?

[@WOODYSOOPY]

Nice video, but so far I can't find what I'm looking for ☹

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

What are you looking for?

[@WOODYSOOPY]

Thank you for you fast response but I figured out ( in the hard way ) I was trying to figure out how much mud I would need to texture a room 12 x 15, and yep I was short I have to go and buy another box to finish, by the way thanks to your video my orange peel come perfect👌

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

Awesome, glad to hear it's coming out great so far. 😎

[@wwaterski]

Your Amazon store link does not work.

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

Hey, thanks for that info. I just checked it and it worked for me, so might be a spam blocker, or something. Here's the actual store link0 bit.ly/GuysAmazonStore Or did you click on a tool and that link didn't work? If so, which one? Thanks

No, never heard of that one, and I address that and many other misunderstandings about Drywall and texturing in my new Drywall school at www.DrywallAcademy.com
