Test Knockdown Texture Application

it upside down the standard cans that I've used in the past these act a little bit differently and it's a good thing that um I was practicing so I've been practic ING with orange peel uh popcorn now I'm testing out the knockdown right here this is a knockdown product so simp going to come out a lot heavier then you're just going to use a drywall knife like a taping knife and knock it down when it's ready to be knocked down this is the fine so I'm going to turn it on we'll go straight to heavy put it on heavy and do that across the bottom and you can totally see big difference medium so you can get an idea what I'm looking at you know uh fine medium and heavy so when I head out to the job site what I'm going to use to match you have between 30 seconds and a minute to knock it down if you wait too long you could end up picking up your dry pieces of um the the spray can and it's just going to uh throw a line right down you know through your texture so don't um don't wait too long make sure you have your knife whatever size knife you're going to be using and have a wet rag to be able to clean your knife and knock it down and I don't I wouldn't try to grab the knife very aggressively just grab the knife you'll really lightly in your hands I kind of just pinch it in between my two fingers just barely set it on there and drag it across it doesn't take a whole lot of pressure at all to actually knock it down got a little bit of practice with it I think I'm going to be pretty comfortable with spraying it out on the job site now and I won't need to do any practi in anymore
