How to match orange peel texture- Using a can of Homax orange peel texture on a drywall repair
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 жов 2024
- In this short video clip I'm demonstrating how to spray a can of Homax's oil base orange peel texture on an actual drywall repair where installed a Big Screen Plasma TV.
**Be sure to shake the can well before trying to spray the orange peel texture!
I'm spraying the orange peel texture on some drywall that I installed after installing some wood framing to support the Big Screen Plasma TV
The area that needs the orange peel sprayed has a medium orange peel that I need to match. I'll be spraying this entire area with just one can of the Pro Grade Homax Orange Peel Texture.
All i can say is cover everything that you don't want texture to get on in the surrounding area around the repair that you're going to be spraying the texture on.
*Caution*- Always wear safety glasses and a respirator whenever spraying the can of oil base texture. Try and ventilate room by opening windows and doors.

I do the same as a DYI'er. I tried the water base it takes forever to dry, flattens out too easily when priming, and has more filler than texture. Oil base rocks but use protective gear as mentioned. Gotta prime it no matter what. Good tips and demo dude!
Spot on alwaysrockn2009! Thanks so much for watching. -Paul
Agreed. The oil-based performs significantly better. Fewer air bubbles and more consistent application. The fumes it expels are awful, but still worth it.
does the water base flatten after leaving it there for several day anyways? thanks
@@b.a.1854 I left it for a day to dry, maybe even more, it it just didn’t work as well. I tried several cans and was stoked to use a water base product but it just didn’t work that well as I mentioned in the comments. The oil is harsh with fumes but it works really well and I’ve stuck with using oil base exclusively.
@@alwaysrockn2009 thank you! Question I had to skim coat the walls. Do I need to prime before adding the texture? I’ve read mixed messages on this.
That tip about using a taping knife to scrape over the top of where you sprayed in case it is a little too bold for the existing drywall texture is very helpful. Thanks so much for the excellent video.
I know I'm late to the party, but this video matches the repair type I need to make and the texturing is the part I needed some tips for.
Thanks a bunch!👍😁
Might want to discuss adjusting spray, heavy to light. Also, very important to keep same distance, about 18" to 24" from the wall, and try not to angle the spray. Great tip on knocking down some of the heavy spots after primer.
Thank you
So HAPPY I found this video!! I took the mirrors down in all the bathrooms and learned to patch and repair. I’m following your steps at this moment. Now waiting for the texture to dry and will prime then scrape. That little scrape gem is worth it all. Thank you!!!!
thanks for covering blending to existing texture as that is part most people struggle with. Not sure why most other painter videos never cover this. Thanks sire
I am anything but a professional like you Paul, but have found that it can really help to let the can sit in some warm water for a little bit to thin out the material inside the can before I start to shake the can.
Hi Jeff, that's a great tip. I've heard that before from other contractors too. Thank for the information and comment!👍🏻 Take care my friend, -Paul
You're the only one on UA-cam doing this right, the key is shaking the can continuously and spraying continuously in a circular motion or the can is gonna clog up and stop spraying.
Wasn't sure how I was going to fix the hole in my ceiling until I watched your video. Now I feel confident to tackle this project. Thanks Paul!
that tip at the end was well said, that really makes a difference on getting a better match. thanks
I bought a can at Ace, I used the water base it turned out PERFECT! Thank you!
Did the water base spray take a long time to dry and how soon were you able to paint over it?
Shout out to you, Paul! I very much appreciate your videos! They've helped me a lot with my fixer upper.
Thanks a lot! That’s really a great one. I consider myself a very good drywall finisher and I think this is a killer video.
Well immediately I noticed your can working correctly, mine sprayed blobs constantly. I have same can as you, and returned it , bought another, hoping it sprays like yours.
Me too lots of people say to run it under hot water or said it in hot water for 20 minutes or so to increase the pressure so that it sprays better
Thank you for sharing how to match the orange peel texture. I've been looking for ways to do some repairs and this is something I think I might be able to use with little to no prior texturing experience.
Very useful! I prefer a flat paint over that sort of texture (seems to warm it up a bit), except in bathrooms or other places where walls get wet. I'm glad I watched your video because I was going to buy the water-based, but based on your expertise, I'm going to buy oil instead. Also the advice using 6" knife to smooth it out was fantastic!
Bless you I tried texturing matching wallet last night almost gave up it doesn’t look very good but I found your video this morning and I think I will give it another try I just have to sound a bit more. I tried a couple of those same cans and for some reason they stopped working on me or which is very sloppy even after adjusting the knobs to what I needed.
1. To achieve what you did on the cardboard, what variable did you use?
Fine, Medium or Heavy
And what pressure
2. I also notice you left the red tab on, in the Homax instructions it says to remove it
Very useful bonus tip at the end. Thanks.
Hey man these videos make me more confident on doing drywall repairs I appreciate the videos man thanks
This is great for a wall. Do you have a video for matching orange peel on the ceiling? That's what I am in need of. Thanks.
How long did you wait before putting the primer on? 10 minutes?
Also did you let the primer completely dry before smoothing out the orange peel?
Thanks for this video--lots of helpful info here. And I agree with you about the Zinsser 123 primer being a good product. I have used that stuff for many years with excellent results.
I appreciate you sharing you experiences Hiriser!👍🏻 Thanks so much for watching and subscribing!😎 -Paul
Great video and good info for sure. Only one question... when I apply this to the ceiling, and I have exposed drywall, do I need to apply mud and prime it? Or can I just apply it w/wo mud? Or only after painting it with primer?
I’m curious as to why you would prime it first and then scrape it down with your drywall blade to match the existing texture
Did you just spray straight on the wallboard without any mudding or skim coat at certain spots, (where there wasn’t any mud from taping or fasteners)? And then applied the primer afterwards? Thanks!
Very clear and thoroughly explained thank you
Excellent tutorial! Thanks for the bonus tips.
What do you recommend for a very light orange peel look? Ive been repairing a bunch of holes and other ugly spots in my living room and the previous texture is so minimal im afraid spraying will be to raised even if I knck some of it dowm
would you recommend this over the knock down sponge technique for repairing wall after removing sheet mirror and the mastic? thanks 😊
You always have fantastic instructional videos. Thanks again for everything!
Thanks for the video, I'm doing patch hole jobs today.
Good job! Very helpful
That’s awesome!👍🏻 Thanks so much for watching and commenting.😎
I almost (keyword) tried this can stuff in my bathroom but was afraid that the smell would be too much for my cats (third floor condo). My question is does it put off an odor? I noticed you wore protective gear.
It is hard to get a very fine orange peel texture with this product.
It's great for medium to heavy orange peel, but no matter how much I adjust the settings it still puts out larger texture then I want.
Can i do the primer first to than cover any screws, holes than sand paper it and continue with the orange peel? And should i do another round of primer at the end?
bonus tip - slow down the camera movements for more detail and less sea sickness for your audience.
Awesome tips and tricks! Thanks Paul!
That's awesome Justin!👍🏻 i'm glad you found my orange peel texturing tips and tricks helpful. Take care, -Paul
Can that spray texture be used under exterior paint?
Instead passing the spatula can be done by sanding it..?
Hello, great video, will something like this work on old cement type interior wall? My whole house was built in the late 60's early 70's and it has that old fashion type wall.
What would you suggest when replacing new (green) 1/2" drywall up to a piece of textured drywall? Its in a bathroom and If I hang horizontally, I can make a butt edge on both sides to the old textured wall. The edge on the ceiling will be tapered to the flat edge of the textured ceiling, I would use paintable caulk for the inside joint on the walls, sand down the ceiling as much as possible and mud/tape the inside edge and try to blend orange peel with this homax spray. Or should I do it the other way around hanging vertically and tape/mud the corners and caulk to the ceiling. Or just tape/mud everything? I know its not going to look perfect trying to tape/mud the new drywall to the old textured drywall but I can't find the best way to accomplish this without replacing all the drywall in the bathroom.
excellent video!
Paul do you use that primer for small patches as well, or bigger areas like that one ? Thank you
I often have the problem of the spray can texture not flattening out as much as the original and looking like it needs a shave. That texture you did looked a bit sparse. Were you 100% satisfied with the match to the existing?
+Mike Richter I hear you Mike. No I'm not 100% satisfied with the outcome from the spray can of texture. The plus is it can blended in well and is easy for a DIYer to use. I think I could've gotten a lot closer to matching that texture by using my hopper and thinning down joint compound. But since this was an area at my own house, I wanted to try to match the orange peel texture with spray can texture and get it on video for all the DIYers searching on UA-cam. I think the texture in a can is much easier for a DIYer to match an orange peel texture than trying to gather a compressor, hopper and get the joint compound mixed to the right consistency to match an existing orange peel texture on a drywall repair. On a sidenote I had a contractor friend over and told him that I had redrywalled and textured the wall behind the plasma TV. He said "Oh wow I Would have never known anything had been done..." Take care man, -Paul
@@PaulPeck Why don't they sell drywall with orange Peel ALREADY ON IT ? What the fuck is this, some kind of kick back conspiricy for wall pros & spray on op makers ? Also, the can I bought never had a ball bearing rattle no matter HOW LONG I shook it ! I ran out of air long before the can was empty, and I think the can had been sitting on the store shelves for 10 years, & had entombed the ball. The whole business stinks of blatent theivery.
Hi Kyle, don’t hat the player... Hate the game! 👍🏻😎 Thanks so much for watching and subscribing! -Paul
So if I use this to cover up a small stucco area, would it come in orange or white? It says orange peel, don’t know what that mean
Given their are 2 types of adjustments on the can it would be helpful to know how you set it.
Can you use this product directly on flat spots on a painted wall.
Thank you for posting. I heard you should shake it upside down? Any truth to this?
Hey JK H, Yes. Shake it up, down, up side down and all around. shake it really good.👍🏻 Now after your finish spraying the orange peel texture from the can. Turn the can upside down and pull the trigger until just air comes out. this cleans the nozzle and the small hole that the texture comes out of for the next use. Hope that helps, -Paul
Any issues if you prime the wall first then apply the 🍊 peel?
How long you have to wait til you can scrape it ??
I’d say about 3-4 hours Joe.👍🏻 Thanks so much for watching and subscribing!😎 -Paul
Can you do this if there’s already paint on the wall or do you have to sand it all the way down to sheet rock?
Is the Wall texture going to work on Ceiling???
Thanks for making the video.
Great advice! It worked for me.
That’s awesome Kendall!👍🏻 I appreciate the feedback! Thanks so much for watching and subscribing!😎 -Paul
You did great just knockdown looks so much better lol
Thanks. In the future, it might help if you hold still on the close-up (e.g., @1:13) rather than constantly moving the camera.
My issue with the homax orange peel (all be it the water based not oil) is that the texture tends to flatten out as it dries and then doesn't match. It looks great when I spray, then come back the next day and it really lost alot of it's texture. Tips for that? Again, I did use the water based stuff as thats all I had so maybe thats the issue. Damn dogs putting holes in the walls with their heads....
😂Had the same thing happen with my dogs. I eventually installed diamond plating on the walls in their room.
So...primer after spraying the texture but before flattening the texture?
Yes. The primer seals the texture so it all doesn’t come off when you scrape. Just the tips come off after priming. I hope this helps. Thanks for watching and subscribing! -Paul
wow so nice video very helpful
After you scrape with thr 6" knife, does not need priming again, or does it matter with it being textured?
Seems like the scraping could br done before the priming if mud id allowed to thoroughly dry.
priming before the scraping helps hold the globs together. I found they are crumbly without some support.
@@kendallwillis well said
What’s the dry time on that oil base can?
Like a rookie I primed first, will it matter much if I texture over the primed?
That should be fine.👍🏻
I need help if you’re still active , I’m remodeling my house as I just purchased it , however I’m redoing the dry wall in some rooms and I purchased water based paints , and water based wall texture, the guys at sherwin Williams told me “if your paint is water based, oil based wall texture will not work” anyways I see that you don’t like water based wall texture, do you think I’ll be fine, or should I return , because I purchased about 5, 5 gallon buckets of paint , and 5 boxes (6 pack) or wall texture , and this was very expensive , each can was about $18 and I purchased 30 cans
@Michael Erving Just because Paul doesn't personally like water based texture doesn't mean you have to change your remodeling game plan. I've recently used Homax water based wall texture for my home and achieved great results (knockdown texture.) The guys at Sherwin are right, if you're using a water based paint then stick to water based texture. I'm making the assumption the paint that you purchased is primer mixed. Typically with oil based materials you have to do a primer only coat and let it dry before applying paint. When you use the water based primer mixed paint, then you eliminate that extra step (on naked or same based surfaces.) Helpful tip* Save all your receipts because you can always return what you don't use. (except custom paint etc.) Hope this helps from also from another New Homeowner.
Cuong Dennison thank you for the knowledge, I’m going back today to talk to them about primer , the paint they sold it is a ProMar 200 paint , they also sold me Shellac based primer to use with water based paint and texture , man in know way am I rich but just on the paint, texture, and supplies for dry wall etc. I spent like $2500 , and that’s not even everything I need from them 😔
@@michaelerving9146 That's really expensive 😳 I went to Lowes for our paint and home depot for supplies (masking tape, hand masker, drop cloth etc.) They sell high quality paint with primer there with all the different types of sheen you need, even Sherwin Williams paint. We planned on painting the entire interior of my house excluding the ceilings so I pulled the trigger on a Graco LTS 15 airless paint sprayer with 24" extension.. 15 gallons of (Valspar Ultra Satin), 5 gallons (Valspar Signature Semi-gloss) for a total of 20 gallons, all supplies, texture, paint brushes, including the Graco Airless Paint Sprayer for ~$1400. Idk how big your project is, but my home is 1,500sqft with vaulted ceilings (big walls) and we have a couple gallons of paint leftover. It's also nice to know that you can always return your non-used wall texture. 😁
Cuong Dennison so in my town we only have Home Depot for paint , and sherwin Williams , every “professional painter” has told me that Home Depot paint is not the way to go , and basically they explained to be that primer mixed with paint is a gimmick, even at sherwin they told me primer mixed with paint isn’t really even a good thing , and to basically just purchase primer alone , and I feel ripped off, I’m redoing 2 restrooms (toilet, vanity , sink, tile , covering tub to shower) and basically repainting the whole , and repaint all the drywall (that needs repairs) the house was not treated proper at all , I think these people before me would fight a lot and we’re in general angry people
@@michaelerving9146 No doubt Sherwin Williams carries some of the top of the line paints, but I'm convinced with the paint that other stores sell like Home Depot and Lowes. I even Googled "the best interior paints" and 4/5 "best interior" paints are sold at Home Depot and Lowes for a fraction of the cost. The results came out with excellent quality and so of course every "professional painter" is going to suggest Sherwin. If you want to check out how the paint primer mix came out, I could email you the pics. We also did both of our bathrooms, 3 bedrooms, 5 closets, living room, 2 dining rooms, laundry room, and kitchen. With the amount you're probably going to spend on "professional" materials and paints you could use that money on a airless paint sprayer instead of rolling the whole thing. Note* I'm going to use the airless sprayer on my backyard wooden fence etc.
Excellent vdeo and explaining everything.
How do I stop the texture from bubbling up and having craters after it dries
Dude, I encountered the same problem. I have yet to find any information from anybody on how to prevent that. I ended up sanding all the texture off. Still trying to figure out Plan B.....
Texture >prime > paint !
Is that correct sequence?
Yes!👍🏻😎
Paul Peck DrywallTube thanks I just finished my project. Copper pipe water leak. Replaced part of the copper pipe and solder it. Applied new insulation, dry wall, tape joint and mud, sand it...Texture > prime> paint!
Thank you again!
But oil based is not good when using water based paint also when applying the texture 3 minutes after the texture was applied being it's semi soft yet it can be lightly smoothed out without using much pressure at a 45° angle with a putty knife to match existing knockdown texture on wall rather then scraping it off when it's hard though depending on existing texture itself.
Should I primer on a knockdown texture? Or not?
Hi Fernando, yes. Definitely prime the knockdown texture first for sure.👍🏻 I like to use a latex primer called Zinsser 123. I hope this helps. Thanks so much for watching and subscribing!😎 -Paul
Is that a Purdy paintbrush? If it is Paul I like your taste!
So....sponge technique for small areas....spray can for large areas?
Yes. Use hopper and compressor for anything larger than two sheets of drywall.👍🏻 -Paul
Would it help to prime walls before spraying
I don't think so. The texture was still raised even on the existing paint where I blended the orange peel texture. All in all the wall repair is invisible to anyone that has seen my new tv area. Thanks for stopping by William! Take care, -Paul
Damn it I got the water based might be returning it if I can't get it to do what I want
good tips, however, can't really see when you say "see" because the camera is too busy moving around.
Its a shame that you did not film the finished product a bit slower and focus on the wall longer 😪
I never use a mud knife to do any dry knocking down of orange peel texture if it is a small area i use a sponge sanding block 180 grit and with little to no pressure go over the area big areas i use the sand pole again with little or no pressure the wait the tool has dose fine novas people will leave trail marks with a small tape knife
Hi Ruk, yes sandpaper or sanding sponge will work too. But just like with the drywall knife you need to have a light touch while knocking off the top of the orange peel. I've done it both ways and if there's a High spot or a bump it's going to take the texture off while you were using sandpaper or drywall taping knife. I appreciate the comment. Take care, -Paul
Can you paint right over the texture without primer
Primer After
If it clogs up, how do you unclog it
Use a push pin or tack.👍🏻 Hope this helps. Take care, -Paul
Thanks it is help for me
Also. never do a sample for the customer. Just do it and then paint it. Never even mention there's such a thing as drywall texture. Once they get focused on something, they'll pick it apart and you'll have to redo it seven times. If you don't bring it up, and only ask them questions like what color do you want. it will never enter their mushy noggins. They want control.. of any kind.. Never give it to them. Just let them make basic decisions that won't trip you up. They have no idea what they're talking about.
I can’t argue with that reasoning
Never forget to feather it brother
Great video! Where is the affiliate link for the spray?? Lol
I appreciate it Jason! Actually, I do have more orange peel texturing info on my website www.texturemaster.com/community/match-orange-peel-texture-homax-texture-can/ Thanks for watching! -Paul
Pro tip. Reduce the video volume and increase your voiceover volume. I had to crank it up to 11 to be able to hear you over the spray and rattling of the can. Which made those sound even louder!
thanks!
Your holding the can at to much of an angle rather than straight at the wall. The texture ends up looking long and like it was sprayed sideways instead of straight at the wall. And it does make a Big difference in the appearance sorry just facts
I bought a can of the Homax texture spray, but I haven’t used it yet; the cancer warning on the back scared me.
those handles leak very bad.
If you use an iPhone to take your videos, you have to remain still for it to focus to see the quality of work. Otherwise, we have to take your word for it. Your steps and description are top notch. Video? Not so much.
Thank you Rick!💥👊🏻 I do appreciate your feedback. -Paul
Hey, Paul. Subbed to your channel from *Owen Video channel )))
Hey AK ! Happy to have you here as a subscriber! I just checked out your channel. Now I'm hungry!!! Subscribed!👍
Hey, Paul. Thanks, bro. Actually, my cooking season is starting soon )))
Ese tipo de textura sale demasiado costoso 20 dólares por envase y no cubre lo que dice no gasten su dinero en ese producto
The one thing Was looking for is how to operate the darn bottle as there are no obvious instructions. Disappointed!
The instructions are on the can…
Too too heavy it doesn't blend
I think
Dont waste your money on money in a can. Rip off.
I hope you don't do this for a living..you seem to be better at making videos..
HOMAX texture sucks, that dam bottle quits on you have way empty, shaking it is not a garrantee it will spray again!, Turn it upside down my ass.
Oh huh, this guy must to be a hunter and that in my world is a NO NO. Thumbs down!
Nope. Never hunted in my life! What makes you think that?
