Re: Texture First


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 .

Re: Texture First


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

Re: Texture First


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

Re: Texture First


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.
