Drywall & Sheetrock Texturing Hacks. How To Spray Texture A Wall.

What happens here

Set up the texture sprayer machine. The machine features controls such as a switch to toggle between 'gun' and 'hopper' feed, a material flow dial to adjust the amount of material, and an air flow adjustment. Different spray tips are available and can be screwed on and off without tools; these tips are color-coded for various textures (beige for orange peel, white for acoustic, grey for knockdown). For this project, use the light tan tip for an orange peel texture. Typically, the material flow is kept at full, and only the air flow is adjusted.

Goal: Configure the texture sprayer machine for the desired texture and operation.

so we got our texture sprayer set up right here and got our mud all mixed up to the consistency we want and these texture sprayers are actually pretty simple to use i do have a video on actually how to operate the machine specifically with the controls and we'll go over that in detail if you want to see that video you can click on the video right here we're just going to show you briefly though here some of the functions of this sprayer i'm just going to show you us spraying this patch right here that we did and the texture sprayers got just a couple dials and it's got a switch right here that we can take and run the gun itself and we can run the mud our texture through the machine and directly right through the gun onto our surface or you can actually use a hopper that you can put on the gun and actually run your mud right through a hopper so you can have it with you and that's we're doing a little bit small repairs we typically never use the hopper we're always just loading it right into our machine and using it so you got that switch to switch it from gun to hopper and then you've got a flow control to adjust the amount of flow and the material that's actually coming out of the gun and then we have an airflow that we adjust the air on the gun too and it's pretty simple to use just turn it on you just play around with those controls you get the proper consistency or the proper texture that you want and then once you get it that you want we actually practice spraying it on a board or something and then we'll begin spraying on our project and right here we're just going to go along and spray an initial texture across our patch that we did and then we're going to begin after that's dry we're going to texture the whole wall so now we got our machines all ready all loaded up there is one thing actually we got a tip on here this machine you can unscrew these different tips and there's a multiple set uh we got four different tips for spraying different textures this which is on here is what we call an orange peel texture there's tips for shooting acoustics there's tips for shooting knock downs and we're using this light tan one for shooting our orange peel texture and we got our airflow and we always just turn our material uh flow we always just run it at full we actually never mess with any of those things down there we just load our material in turn on the machine and just dial our airflow up and to the exact airflow we want and then we begin spraying it's…
