Pinholes and craters in texture

This was 100% preventable. Just by your small pictures, the texture has to much water in it. It's hard to tell the pressure behind it but he probably had high pressure or a big tip to get bigger dots and stood far away, but you can look at the curves on the texture.. It's always at the bottom and not even all around its edges. Meaning the texture starts to run down. He probably didnt want to mix the material again and just hoped that it would turn out ok. Well you have a picky home owner, who will not be satisfied. I can guarantee that. Ive had home owners complain that paint didnt match the rest of the house on patches. the home builder blamed it on us texture guys, saying we didnt put texture hardener in the mix. the truth was the color of paint faded a bit after it was put on the walls and the home owner could see the patches. Anyways.... good luck with this one. its going to be a nightmare for you.
Hey Texture Guy, what is texture hardner. I have never heard of it. I have always used bag texture mixed the day before and remixed the day texturing. Have never added anything to it. Should I? (sorry off subject here) On subject, that is some seriously ugly texture. What in the world?!?
