What happens here

With the can warmed and tested, begin spraying the texture onto the wall patch. Start from the center of the patch and use a quick, circular motion. Hold the can approximately one foot away from the wall. The goal is to apply the texture lightly and quickly, fading it out around the edges to blend with the existing wall. Remember that less is better, as it's easier to add more texture if needed than to remove excessive amounts. The video recommends using an oil-based texture product (like Homax) because it dries in about 5 minutes and is less prone to running compared to water-based alternatives.

Goal: Spray an even texture on the patch, blending it with the wall

down. And that's the setting that's going to look the nicest. And we're going to start from the middle. I'm going to spray from the middle quickly and just do a circular pattern. And I'm going to try to fade it out really quick. And you got to be really quick. If it gets too heavy, the texture will run. And I like using a oilbased product. This oil-based product dries in 5 minutes and you're less likely to get runs. They sell a product that's a water-based product, but it really has a tendency to come out too heavy and it has a tendency to run and then you can't sand it quickly and paint it. We want to be able to paint it quickly and be done with this project going to the next project. So, I start off. I've tested it out. It's framed good for me. And so, I'm going to start in the middle and just do a quick circular pattern. So, I go and I want to get the right distance. If I'm too close, it's going to be too heavy. I'm going to stand back about a foot and just like that. It's just a little circular pattern. I can look at it, see if it's too heavy or too light. And if I need to put on a little bit more, I can just put on just a little bit more. And less is better because if there's not enough, you can go back and put just a slight bit more. If you put too much on to begin with, you're going to have to sand it all off and redo it again. But
