    Thank you for the tip, it came in handy for me! I'm working about an hour and a half from the house I had textured a whole house with a rented spray rig and I missed one little spot in the living room and this saved me from having to go home and get my Hopper and go through all that just for a 6 inch by 6 inch spot that wasn't noticed until it was painted.

    Guy--your videos are awesome and very accessible even to a total novice like me. I'm embarrassed to admit how much time I have spent watching them recently. Anyway, you have given me hope that I might actually be able to repair the cracks in my wall--and then texture it--on my own. If I can pull this off, it will feel super empowering, and all thanks to you. Tomorrow is the "big day".

    The sponge combined with the Homax 7" knockdown knife worked perfect. For me just a tad bit of thinning regular joint compound and about 10 minutes setup time was just about right. I think it did a way better job then these overpriced aerosol cans and you have so much more control for blending. Thank you!!

    Just stumbled across this video trying to find a good video on where knockdown texture sponges were and I’m happy I found this instead! First time viewer here as well but I appreciate the share of this little trick of the trade! Definitely beats getting out the texture gun for a handful of small patches. The video also instilled quite a bit of confidence, keep it up!

    • @ThatKiltedGuyDIY
      @ThatKiltedGuyDIY  5 років тому +1

      Thanks for the comment, and yes, you do need to practice first. You can practice on the wall, and if it does't work, just wipe or scrape it off, but you do risk damaging the repair so the best is to practice on an unfinished wall in a garage, or a scrap piece of sheetrock, or even go buy a 2'x2' piece of rock from Lowes or Homedepot.

      It can be a little tricky adapting too, but it does work well and saves a ton of masking.

    @paulnavara7127 4 роки тому

    Thanks for your video. Most of the time I have to repair small areas, like redoing the area above a shower enclosure. The sponge technique allows better detail work than the texture spray can, and is a lot cheaper.

    I used a grout tool instead of a sponge. I also cut 3/8 diagonal cutouts using an exacto knife similar to your sponge. The handle on the grouting tool helped me apply the mud close to edges.

    Good video. I've done this and it definitely gets the "good enough" grade. I've even used rough rollers and a mixture of water and dry wall compound to do orange peel on entire walls. I bought a texturing sprayer, but between the mess and trouble of getting the texture right it just was not worth it for someone who only does this occasionally.

    • @ThatKiltedGuyDIY
      @ThatKiltedGuyDIY  4 роки тому

      Ive actually been getting great results with this sponge for knockdown. As for spraying I get near perfect results that way but it takes understanding the parameters which i explain in this video.

    love it!!! Cant tell you how many times I've used a 1/4 can of spray texture on a small repair like a door knob that made its footprint in drywall and the next time I went to use it, its dead.
    I have returned so many 3/4 full cans back to Depot that wouldn't spray anymore . Frustrating when ur on a job doing a small repair and the spray texture can is dead but still full, LOL.
    Great video!!!

    • @ThatKiltedGuyDIY
      @ThatKiltedGuyDIY  5 років тому

      If you are going to texture very much, try thinning the mud down a little bit and putting it in something like a dishpan and dabbing the sponge into it instead of the way I showed on the video. Let me know how it goes.

    Little tip about the spray texture cans: Turn can upside down when done and spray until only air comes out. It clears out the mud that dries and usually clogs up the can.

I have to do the ceiling in the bath ( the drywallers have not come back to finish, it’s been 3weeks) The restore the ceiling corner…the large corner ceiling repair is now smooth, rest of it is popcorn. So I thought to smooth down the whole bath to look like your example here a flat texture.? That would be easy for me I think.I 70 but in good shape. I can be on a ladder. Yours is a blessing of a vid for me. Cause finding folks to work in the N Georgia mountains has been hard.

    Really good video......a great tip is to roll a little paint on the textured part because your need to paint anyway. Press the sponge lightly to that part and you’ll have a perfect impression of the texture to be matched.....pull away the clean part of sponge 🧽

    • @ThatKiltedGuyDIY
      @ThatKiltedGuyDIY  4 роки тому +1

      I find it easy to change the look of the knockdown by varying the thickness of the mud you put on, how much mud you put on, how soon you knock it down etc.

      If it doesn’t, scrape it off and try again with thicker or thinner mud, and less of it on the surface, etc. Sometimes experimentation is how I get to the final result.

      @@ThatKiltedGuyDIY So nice of you to reply. I did try it. I have a very small space in the kitchen, hard to get to, mine was way too thick it looked really bad. I made it smooth. I'll try again today. Thank you for the encouragement.

    • @ThatKiltedGuyDIY
      @ThatKiltedGuyDIY  5 років тому +1

      Well I'm here to help. To thick means either the mud was to thick, our you put it on covering to much area (put less on the sponge), or you knocked it down to flat by knocking it down to soon or with to much pressure. A good idea is to practice on a scrap piece of rock. You can buy 2'x2' pieces at Lowes & I believe home Depot.

    I can't believe I just found you're video !
    I have gone thru 4 bottles of the spray texture and I cannot ever empty out a whole can without it clogging up,very frustrating to say the very least !
    Too expensive and I live 18 miles one way from the closest town , so I racked my brain trying to figure out a way to make a homemade way to do this and couldn't think of anything so I thought maybe someone on utube might know of a way and I was so lucky that you popped up immediately! I know I have one or two of those sponges in my garage and I'm going to try it right now !
    Thankyou so very much for putting this info out there

    I've been using a sponge like that. What I did was took a large Dowell, 1-1/4" dia. about 3-1/2' long, cut a 2x4 about 3-1/2" long, Put a 1-1/4" hole in it. Then a Plywood scrap about 1/4" smaller than the Sponge, & Epoxy the 2x4 to the Plywood, & the Dowell into the hole in the 2x4. Staples also work good. Finally, round off the end of the Dowell handle & Epoxy the sponge to the Plywood. This works very good.

    • @ThatKiltedGuyDIY
      @ThatKiltedGuyDIY  3 роки тому

      Just so you know, hot mud mostly hardens faster, but it does dry slightly faster due to the heat generated. But using a fan on any mud will make it dry faster and the higher the volume of the fan, the faster it dries. I carry around these 20 inch 6000 CFM fans for that reason.

    I use a Laco hand pump for small areas, but your technique might prove useful for very small patches like the one you were demonstrating. I think you'd have even better luck if you used one of those Magic rubber trowels for knocking the mud down. Thanks for the tip.

      I have tried a rubber magic trowel and was not impressed. My solid plastic one works better. I even did a video recently where I compared the magic trowel to a steel knife to the Lexan knife and the Lexan was the best. And yes, I rarely use the sponge but on something that tiny it works
