Hey guys I been reading your post's concerning various texture mixes, or mud, available in your land & I must say that the choice doesn't seem available to you guys as a media for creating a textured finish, as here in the UK! (unless you know otherwise)

Although we do drywall finishes (taping & jointing we call it) on many new, & existing build we also have texture, which comes in ready mixed in small tubs (which is not very cost effective & is mainly aimed at the home 'diy'er)
or one can purchase a 25kg bag of powder to mix ones self, which gives great coverage over a surface no matter what consistency used for creating various texture patterns & designs plus, once the surface to be textured is well sealed & prepared allows one the time to actually create a pattern without rushing the work.

Although there are certain textures available in the US & Canada for creating artistic textured finishes as I have asked some of my drywall 'art & effects course' customers what they have actually used to create a pattern or design using texture as a finish.

Currently, I am in the process of contacting two of the major 'texture finishes' manufacturers here in the UK, ( I will keep you posted) so that the texture powder for patterns used here could be available to yourselves also, but this seems to be a long & arduous process dealing with large company's as they take time to respond to anything I write them.

So, it would be nice to have good materials for finishes to allow anyone to create outstanding works of art onto the customers ceilings & walls.

Incidentally, could someone please let me know who is the major drywall stockists in America & Canada. Thank you
