What happens here

Before applying texture to the wall, test the spray pattern. Hold the 5-gallon bucket or hold the masked paper on the floor as a target. Spray the texture into it to observe the pattern and consistency. The Homax Wall Texture can features an adjustable dial on the nozzle to switch between a light and heavy orange peel. Adjust this dial as necessary until the test spray matches the existing texture on your wall. This ensures a seamless blend. You can also spray a small amount directly onto the masking paper on the floor to better visualize the pattern.

Goal: Confirm and adjust the spray texture to match the existing wall texture
