Need help with pattern and tool used

jondrainer

I have a pattern I have never seen or installed on a ceiling. Doing a patch after a sofit was removed and trying to match texture.

It's just a round brush that you can buy at any good drywall supply co

roll some mud ahead of yourself dip the brush in the mud to get some material on it and just stomp it on the ceiling after a few tries you'll get the hang of it good luck

So if you are a general contractor why not call a professional drywall contractor and get it done ? Simple texture but not to a novice...

In Montana we call it a Crows foot texture, and we do it with a double brush. In hawaii they call it the Hawaiian Stomp. Do your patch like R. E advised.

Not a crows foot, it is a single shag style.
I just did this in my house.

Its a single crows foot brush

Nope....single round brush....not crows foot that I've ever seen....not even a single one. Single crow foot brushes are oval, not round.

Why would a drywall guy put that ugly s**t in his own house?

fr8train

LOL, thanks I needed that

eastex1963

Hey fr8train, it ain't that bad. Actually, I love a crowfoot ceiling. Especially with a semi-gloss paint. Outdated yes, but hey, so am I. lol.

Does anyone have any idea what tool this is and who makes it?
Any information about this texture at all?

No, but when you find them, we'll take up a collection to destroy the evidence. That looks like azz!!!

Awesome looking style of texturing, I am sure it is very time consuming and costly, wouldn't mind learning to do something like that, could become very wealthy on that deal....

looks like it could just be a mop , sometimes the simplest tools can make the most complex designs.

You would have to be half artist/sculpture to be able to create something of that caliper.

I saw some guys from South Dakota doing it on a house in my are. He was doing it on his son's house. We hung and finished ready for him to texture. He charged ten thousand dollars to texture about 2500 sq. ft. It looked pretty sweet!! Different texture in each rom. I will dig out pictures and post them.

Nice work finding that! Well done.

thanks for the link rick. i've been looking for that one

We're trying to come up with completely different concepts for a powered texture system. This "combed' method is completely different from anything I've ever seen so I have to give the guy respect for thinking outside the proverbial box. My hat's off to him.
