So it's a Minnesota thing then :whistling2:

In a older thread, Silver stilts questioned why we would paint then spray our ceilings. And I was trying to explain that we have pre-mixed mud that is specially made to do knock down, and I don't think he believed me :blink:

Turns out, it's just a Minnesota thing.

Now it's my turn to be in silvers sites:rolleyes:
Nope not a MN thing your just talking to the wrong guys. If you want to texture with the big boys in the Mpls area you better be using bag texture.
 
It is funny but in Minnesota there is none of any that products:blink: I use regular mud for most of my ceiling spray (cheap way) but for fog powder ceiling spray must be better (not too good for sanding).

LOL, where are you buying your material? Its no problem getting bag texture in the Mpls area. I can get National Gypsum(EM, and Walls & ceilings), USG Unaggregated, and have seen Hamiltons in the past. You can even buy the USG at Menards.
