It is funny but in Minnesota there is none of any that products:blink: I use regular mud for most of my ceiling knockdown spray (cheap way) but for fog powder ceiling spray must be better (not too good for sanding).

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.

So you use "bag texture" for knockdown? If yes how much do you charge for that?

I charge the same price, a bag will go further then box mud.

How much water you you use per bag?

Well, logic should dictate that weather you use the bag spray or the box spray, you should mix either one to the consistency you were using your taping mud from before to spray with. another words, you know your spray machine.

and slim and chris sorta spelled it out for you too. If your just doing the odd spray job here and there, go with the box mud if you can get it. It's more user friendly. Those doing it all the time go with the powder mix b/c of cost and so forth, they may even like it better, but, they will have their mixing method down to a science, just like a brick layer does with his mortar.

so, taping mud, bag powder or box spray, you mix them all the same, for your machine or your liking

Not quite understand. What is "powder mix b/c of cost and so forth"
