Introduction and Surface Preparation

here we go we are right here live in a house and we're going to show you how we go about applying skip trout or Sun Valley texture or even Monterey texture or Santa texture I I mean it's called a bunch of different things it has a lot of names a lot of different names but we call it Sun Valley texture it's a very simple texture to apply right here you can see it on the wall right here I got journeyman John with me today and we're in this entry way right here applying it we had a previously painted surface right here John right and what was wrong with the surface well it looked like maybe at one point it had been wallpaper wallpaper was removed and then somebody put like a sponge faux glaze kind of a look over it but that glaze left a bunch of of white marks and and the plan was to paint it but all of those marks would show up so the homeowner wanted to have it textured anyway they talked about Orange Peel but what they really wanted was Santa Fe texture so now we're putting well not Santa Fe Sun Valley whatever name you want to call it but that's what we're putting up now it's just interesting cuz where we come from here in boy Idaho the Treasure Valley there is a city a town called Sun Valley and it's um a resort town where some wealthy people live and maybe the texture that is around here was originated there maybe that's why they call it Sun Valley not sure but we do call it Sun Valley texture and you can call it whatever you want to but it's a simple textured apply we didn't have to do any priming did we John no we didn't do any priming we just knocked down any loose pieces uh we repaired a couple of spots on the wall with some hot mud just to kind of flush it all out and make it nice and flat but then we're good to go
