If doing same texture on walls and ceilings,we spray ceilings then walls and knockdown both at the same time. While the texture is still wet, then go around the wall/ceiling angle and cut a paint line with the KD paddle.

Pretty much the same here only when its dry I come back and detail the angles with an angled sanding sponge all the wall angles with the ring angle also , i like a crisp inside corner no jagged edges beside that it makes it so easy for the painter .

On the orange peel we always spray ceilings first then walls so you don't get any overspray "rain" on top of the wall texture

don't even tape it, just spray it on thick, it won't show!

I like you're idea whitey I could really save a lot of time the next time we texture lids we won't even have to spot the nails just let it rip with the texture rig, ,what a time saver

Whitey97 · 10-21-2009, 01:36 AM

well, maybe you can stick a little of that spackle stuff in there!

Taped Crusader · 10-21-2009, 03:21 AM

I agree, just a bit of putty and a heavy spray. Looks especially nice in rooms with lots of windows.

and with a high gloss paint

Until last month I've only seen primer first, then texture. I guess it still works the other way, and if you have problems, the texture primer I'm familiar with still sands through unlike paint.

I prefer to start by texturing my floors.

just spray hot mud on the lids then remix with textue for the walls and run it threw the rig before it sets up in the pump.go,go,go!!
