You make it look so easy! Thanks for the video. I've patched the holes in the walls already but was wondering how to go about matching the texture. I may have to practice it a few times to get the finish to an acceptable appearance but your video will help tremendously in that endeavor!
Very helpful video. I used this technique to match an approximately 2x3 ft patch in my wall; it worked extremely well, and gave me confidence in fixing other patch sites on my walls.
Thank you, @djamesb11! To answer your question, the first product applied was our SHEETROCK® Brand Lightweight All Purpose Dust Control. It is a lightweight product that sands easily and minimizes airborne dust. It is great for remodel/patching projects. The second product is our SHEETROCK® Brand All Purpose Joint Compound. It is a conventional joint compound that can be used in many applications, including texturing.
Great video, thanks for the tips! just one question, whats the difference between the first compound you used and the second one you used to apply to the brush?
I bought my house a few years back, and I have several spots where the previous owner attempted to patch cracks in the texture with spackle, and he/she did a VERY poor job. Can I just sand down those spots and apply the joint compound and texture like the video? Thank you in advance!
@Don Letter - First, use a drywall knife to cut away the built up texture material on each side of the crack, down to the drywall if possible. Next, use Easy Sand and paper tape to patch over the crack. You can use Easy Sand or a ready mix compound, such as Lightweight All Purpose with Dust Control, to build up and blend in to the texture thickness.
Thank you for this video. This method worked very well for me today. I mixed 1/2 cup joint compound with 1/8 cup water (had a small area 5"X5") and it worked great. Thanks again.
We just bought a fixer upper and I had no idea that drywall could be textured. It's something that is not common here in the Western New York area, so thank you!! This video helped me figure out that I have California knockdown texture on my walls and how to add texture back to the walls in the patched spots!
thank you so much on how to match texture! it helped me big time.
