Well Said, sir. I'm a drywall installer for 40 years and this show was spot on, What I like the best you explained it in a small area to better educate a DIY Homeowner, I like the detailed steps that make a difference to any beginner or myself who been away from it for so long and needed a reminder, I thank you for a job well done. A message to everyone looking at this video, excellent instructions and well said with this show, I'm certain your project will be well done, and proud of your DIY.

@doctordrywallrepairFL Год назад

35 years in the industry and texturing is not popular in the NE but in Florida it is everywhere. We are going to start using sprayers to refinish popcorn removal so since you have the sprayer we will be doing more texturing on repairs. Good help.

@Scottyd2104 2 года назад

He is very thorough in this video. I used it to do knockdown for my first time ind it is super simple. Takes a little bit to figure out how you want the sprayer to spray, but the knockdown is super easy. I used an 18 inch knockdown squeegee and was just fine. Most important thing to take from this video is the dry time. As he points out that when it starts to lose that glistening effect is when you start the knockdown.

@timamyett9679 Год назад

I have a very similar gun only problem is it does'n come with the little black hose that allows you to spray ceilings. The hopper on mine sets at a 90 degree angle to the spray head if you turn it up to the ceiling the mud ceases to flow to the gun. A 90 degree flex elbow fits but then the hopper obstructs half the output flow. Ask me how I know. So my only option is to get a new gun for ceilings. An elbow at 45 degrees is unheard of.

@robertwaller7699 3 года назад

Shannon, how long do you wait between the time you spray and the time you "knock it down?" Also, my entire house has the knock down wall, and I have little patches I need to make. How long does the bucket of material last as long as the lid is on tight? Thanks.

@HouseImprovements 3 года назад

The timing depends on the mix and the temperature really, but its usually within minutes. Bucket will stay good for a year if you want it too. Dump enough water on the top to cover the mud, this will seal it good. When you go to use it next time dump the water off the top and mix it again.

If my wall has a semi gloss paint on it, do I need to do something to prep the walls prior to putting on the knockdown finish? Thanks for the way you present your videos!

@HouseImprovements 3 года назад

Its always a good idea to give exiting surfaces ,especially ones with something glossier then egg shell, a wash with some TSP.

@AvilaDreamer 3 года назад

Well done, Shannon! Thank you - I've got an Orange Peel (I think it's called) texture in my upstairs that I need to match in my basement (as I finish it). I was planning to just follow this method, but then not knock it down. Does that work, or is there another method for that type of texture? Thanks for any tips there! Have a great weekend!

@publicmail2 3 года назад

Orange peel goes on much finer, small splatters, more air less product, just practice first you'll see it right away. Hardly anything to knockdown if you did.

@HouseImprovements 3 года назад

Orange peal is not knocked down after its applied, and basically adjustments to your hopper gun, air pressure and mud consistency will produce orange peal. Play with those factors to get a close match and away you go spraying. Use this same gun.

@My-Say 3 года назад

Excellent. My first attempt looks ok, but I've seen way better. Are you adding any sand to your mix? I've seen people do that. My house is old and nothing is square and the boards are all different, making it super hard to fix imperfections.

@HouseImprovements 3 года назад

No sand added to this

@kirkhall2099 2 года назад

Do you do a knock down after each room is sprayed as it dries in 10/15 minutes. Does the gun start to clog up when you stop to do the knock down. Hints on timing of knock down. thanks

@HouseImprovements 2 года назад

Kind of depends on the size of room and drying conditions . A small room 100sqfeet or s you can spray and then knock down usually bigger than that you need someone following 5min. behind you or doing it as you go if your by yourself which is a pain. Gun does not really plug up.

So before you spray the ceiling you prime and paint it first, then after you have sprayed the ceiling with texture and smoothed it out you let it dry and leave it like that? you don't need to paint it again?

After scraping a popcorn ceiling, do I have to skim coat the ceiling prior to adding texture? Or can I apply the texture directly? Going for an orange peel instead of knockdown

Normally you need to do a few repairs or even smooth the ceiling if it never scraped off well.

@barryluke1975 2 года назад

Hi Shannon, I had a situation where I scrapped out a popcorn ceiling, sanded and applied new knockdown texture. Left it to dry till the next day and painted. After about two hours I saw certain places cracking and peeling off. Really messed things for me. What do you think caused that?

@HouseImprovements 2 года назад

My guess is the new texture was not dried long enough and the new paint softened it up . Or a combination of that and too much dust on the ceiling when you sprayed the new texture so it didi not bond to the drywall.

@treslongwell1332 2 года назад

did you tell which tip to use?

Scott, You are the Best I have seen in the Spray & Knock Down System on RU-vid. What need to ask is I have Walls that I had previous had Wall textured Paper. In removing the Wall Texture the Vinyl Texture come Off and the Paper stayed on the Wall. Removing the Paper is a Major Job. I want to do the Spray & Knock Down on the Walls. My Question is, Should I remove all the Paper and fix any bad places in the Sheet Rock before I apply the Spray & Knock Down Texture? Or can I apply a Skim Coat of Mud over the Paper before applying the Spray & Knock Down Texture? Please share You Opinion With Me, Thank You.

@HouseImprovements Год назад

Normally I would recommend removing all paper. Its hard to say if skimming it would work , I kind of doubt it. You could s=try skimming a small area and see if the paper releases.

@Lo-kv3tg 3 года назад

Stipple/popcorn ceilings are terrible. They reflect less light, are filthy, are usually unpainted as I've seen which means the little points end up in the air eventually which is toxic, and I think they mess up the air flow of a room. I spent weeks and weeks spraying every ceiling with water and scraping it off with a drywall knife and it was a toxic mess but now the ceilings aren't full of dirt and cobwebs and the rooms are brighter.
