What happens here

An 'orange peel' texture is applied to the walls using a hopper gun. This specialized spray gun connects to an air compressor and has a large funnel to hold thinned joint compound (mud). When sprayed, it creates a subtle, bumpy texture resembling an orange peel. The mud is thinned to a consistent, sprayable viscosity. Minimal adjustments are needed with the hopper gun to achieve a desired, even texture.

this is called the hopper and what it is is basically just a paint spraying style gun that hooks up to an air compressor a really tiny one we have one outside from like harbor freight and uh you just put your mud in here thinned it out of course connect it and then when you spray your essentially this thing splatters it out creating an orange feel texture so hopefully we can get that on fast i got this for like 50 bucks on facebook marketplace [Music] first time ever using a hopper laying down like a dream minimum adjustments if you have an opportunity to do a big space get a hopper you'll love it [Music]
