41072040655 Aerosol Wall Texture, Knockdown, Water Based, 20 oz

Very good product, blended the repair well

this actually worked well and looked just like my professionally applied texture i was trying to match

I actually read the instructions. That's not normal for me. What I absolutely love about this product is that if you get it wrong the first time, you can scrape it all away and start over. I highly recommend testing on a piece of cardboard first. I way overapplied the first time, and as I was trying to "knock off" the dry ridges, I found it was still very wet underneath. So the first time was an abject failure. It took about three tries to get an acceptable result, but as I went around repairing drywall holes, I found that each one got easier and easier. The last few holes I textured over, I coudn't tall you where the holes actually were. I struggle with mudding when it comes to dryway. I'm ever able to get it completely perfect, but with such an easy sprey-on texture like this, I can hide just about any seam. in fact, I'm thinking of touching up one of the seems that were visible when I moved in.

UPDATE: I had another small home repair and decided to give this one more try. Observations: - the instructions say to shake well for one minute. This is important: shake well and keep shaking during usage if you need to spray for more than (e.g.) 10 seconds. - warm the can before usage. I have read of others holding the can under a stream of hot water, sticking the can in boiling water or similar. I will not recommend that because I'm fearful of exploding aerosol cans. I just stuck mine under my shirt for about 10 mins. - you can spray onto bare wallboard, joint compound etc but I got better & more predictable results on a painted over surface. - practice on some scrap surface before usage. This will help you learn when to knock down the sprayed texturing material and aid you in getting the pattern you want. With the above in mind this product works very well indeed. I will purchase another can if/when the time comes. OLD REVIEW follows: I purchased one can for a small repair. First I tested on about 2 sq ft of spare wallboard with good results. When I subsequently used it on the repair area -- about 2 sq ft also -- it worked well for a few seconds but then seemed able to spray the texture material only about one inch. Clearing the nozzle and shaking the can some more did not help. There seems to be a large amount of material left in the can which I will not likely be able to use because of this. Note that I was careful to follow directions and shake the can very well before using. Overall seems like a good idea that needs some improvement ... The total coverage available is far less than claimed.

I was a little worried with some of these bad reviews, but this worked perfectly! Folks, all you have to do is read the instructions and it’s gonna work. You’re welcome! ;)
