Well Said, sir. I'm a drywall installer for 40 years and this show was spot on, What I like the best you explained it in a small area to better educate a DIY Homeowner, I like the detailed steps that make a difference to any beginner or myself who been away from it for so long and needed a reminder, I thank you for a job well done. A message to everyone looking at this video, excellent instructions and well said with this show, I'm certain your project will be well done, and proud of your DIY.
Thanks for being straightforward and complete. I weeded through numerous other videos that were short of information, long on life stories and full of bad jokes. Your videos are always concise and complete. Thank you!
Very welcome
He is very thorough in this video. I used it to do knockdown for my first time ind it is super simple. Takes a little bit to figure out how you want the sprayer to spray, but the knockdown is super easy. I used an 18 inch knockdown squeegee and was just fine. Most important thing to take from this video is the dry time. As he points out that when it starts to lose that glistening effect is when you start the knockdown.
Great video and explanation. I've watched several other videos in my preparation today to do the texture step and this, by FAR, was the best video to give me an idea of not only what to do but also tips on waiting before the actual knockdown along with showing in real time how fast it was to do once everything was properly prepped (vids on knocking down the popcorn ceilings and remudding the ceiling did not prepare me for how long those steps take). I'm doing 2 bedrooms and I'm pretty confident that I can do the 10x10 room all in one go which is something I wasn't sure on before watching this. Thanks!
I have a hopper but never used it on a project I was doing. Thanks for this video. It answered a bunch of questions for me about how to do this.
Thanks Shannon! You usually explain very well and know what you're talking about; keep up the good work!
35 years in the industry and texturing is not popular in the NE but in Florida it is everywhere. We are going to start using sprayers to refinish popcorn removal so since you have the sprayer we will be doing more texturing on repairs. Good help.
Thank you for sharing your insights, easily one of the best UA-cam channels.
3:45, compressors, bigger and more air the better.
Great info! Just completed a knockdown ceiling in a bedroom and bathroom, had uneven drywall thicknesses after a remodel and this texture did the trick! Looks perfect! Used a hopper/gun bought at harbor freight with a medium tip. Be sure to purchase the valve and air chuck fittings, as they are sold separate!!!
Yeah, I found out the hard way lol!
I had a pro do my great room, which I helped with, then I did my bedrooms myself. wish I'd have paid more attention to pressure and consistency. Having a beefy compressor is important. I have a smaller dual tank and it runs out pretty quickly. Anyhoo, this is a great video. I turned to it when I started running into problems and it has a lot of good info. Thanks Shannon!
Your video was very helpful. Love. the way you had "a lot less talk with a lot more action ". Thank you for making the job seem easy. and instructions fast and easy.
I've watched a number of knock-down videos and this is by far the best I've seen!!! Well done as always!
Thank you so much for doing this video!!! It was SO helpful for a first-timer!!!
Good video. Thanks for the pointers. Im always open minded to learn new tricks of the trade. I’ve been a finisher for about 7 years now. I’ve got 15 years experience total. Knockdown is pretty cut and dry I like a medium knockdown myself but I’ll do whichever texture the customer prefers. Thanks for sharing
I did a textured ceiling with one of those roller kits. It actually turned out decent.
I never used a sprayer ,watching your demonstration and the precautions to take ,and the air pressure I need the ball valve is a good idle giving you better control ,I thank you for the demonstration ,it was well done
Glad I could help
Very Good instructional video. The pace of your delivery and the complete description of the process, including tool descriptions and materials explanations, are fantastic, keep up with the helpful vids!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for demonstration. It covered everything i needed to know.
Shannon,
Like all the videos you've made,very informative,AND to the point!
HARD TO BELIEVE YOU'VE BEEN HERE TEN YEARS,AND ONLY HAVE 677 I SUBS!
WTH IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE??
THANKS FOR THESE VIDEOS!!
Fantastic! Shannon’s is one of the best DIY channels on UA-cam.
Really a great guide for this project. I've come back to it every time I do knockdown
Nice job I will start doing the same thank you for teaching us and giving us advices 👍👍👍👍
Thank you so much for this very clear explanation and clear video. I'm going to have to learn how to do wall orange peel wall texture for my walls then knockdown for my ceilings. It's a bit overwhelming for me to learn, but this gives me the best example I've seen on UA-cam yet. I have hope I can do this
Thanks. Beautiful job. I wish I could do that ease. I’ll try. Very good explanation.
DEFINITELY, this is a keeper video! Thank you.
Thank you very much. Informative video, straight to the point and respect viewer's time.
This is one of the best DIY videos I've ever seen. Nice work.
That was an awesome video! Thank you. Getting ready to give it a go on my first attempt :)
Good job! We have done a lot of knock down. Good informative video! Again nicely done and thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for informative video. I've done knock down before but learned something new. Thanks Bro
Great timing for the spring renovations. Thank you
You bet!

Thanks so much for explaining thoroughly. Two thumbs up man!
Black shirt Shannon is brave and a pioneer glad to see him still posting
I truly appreciate this video, I think I can try this! Thank you!
You can do it!
Thank you! I need to try to match a knock down in Mt laundry room and messed it up. This video definitely helped. God bless and thanks for sharing.
Great video! Excellent information thanks!
I say there is no wrong way to do it, as long as the outcome is the same. Thanks Shannon.
Thank you. Great information. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family. 🎄
Same to you!
Straight to the point and easy. Nice!
Thanks for sharing the info.... helps reaffirm my DIY approach.
Great video, I’m doing a bedroom ceiling tomorrow so I feel pretty confident now, didn’t know that I should primer and paint the ceiling first, thanks again 😊
Don't do that.. primer is acceptable.. But skim your walls/prime. Texture. Paint.
How did it go?
I bought a cheap sprayer from Harbor Freight and used my pancake compressor to do one whole room. I thinned out Plus 3 and used that as texture for an orange peel look. An air shut off valve on the gun would have been a HUGE help and I was really surprised that the compressor was sufficient. It was a real mess, but it covered up all of my poor drywall work.
How did u think it out?
I’m literally doing the same thing tomorrow afternoon…for the first time. I’m excited! It’s only a 4x7 area where i removed a soffit.
Thank you so much for the good demo.
Thank you fit the helpful video. I'm about to do a ceiling myself. Very helpful
Great video, thanks for the lesson.
You Sir, are a gem! Thanks for the info!
Nice job thanks Mr. Shannon.
Actually an awesome video i feel like a pro and ive never even done it. Thank you sir. Now to get this money.
Thank you for sharing this technique. To me, this looks FAR BETTER than that old popcorn.
Doesn't sound as good though. The real reason for popcorn was acoustics. It cuts room echo better than a any other surface. We care more about looks than functionality now though...
Shannon..great video. It’s a hard technique to learn.
I like his videos because he's thorough
Excellent video! Thanks!
best vid on this out there. doing 2 rooms on the walls tmrw .
Thanks, it covered what i need it to know.
Thanks for the informative video!
Great video thanks for taking the time and making it
Thank you for all you vides is very information
Thank you! This was awesome!
You are a true down to earth dude and a pro👍
God bless you.very nice work.
Shannon, you are a gem!
Great video very instructive
Very informative, thank you!
Great video. I did the popcorn style on my ceiling about 16 years ago. Still looks good.
seriously best video I have seen.. love hot you get to the point..
Thnks 4 being so thorough!
excellent video. nice work.
Great Video. Thanks.
Shannon been watching for over 6 years now
Thanks , I appreciate that!
Great video. I had some confusion as I was losing air when I connected my Wal-Board Texture-Pro 200 to the air inlet but mine doesn't have a ball valve to open and close. Seems that losing a little air is normal in both setups.
You sir are a fantastic teacher
Many thanks
I'm getting ready to do a large living room, hallway and a big bedroom. Nervous because I've never done knockdown before. I've done some drywall wall replacement and some repairs and they have turned out pretty good, but I go really slow and spray very little. I got 8 day-to-day do all drywall, primer, paint and then do hardwood floors. Your video really put me at ease on application of the ceiling work.
I let mud dry a day before I prime and paint. How long do you let your mud dry on the ceiling and walls??? I don't do this for a living, but do need a professionals answer. Thank, gonna be watching this a couple more times and somepractice aswell.
Big in Florida along with orange peel with goes on lite and fine and no knockdown. I sprayed block with type M mortar which gives a nice sand coating ready for paint.
Good stuff
Shannon talks, I listen.
Thanks great video glad to see .
Best Video Out There.
Great video my friend
Learned a lot
Very informative!
I'm going to strip off the popcorn ceiling and do this. 👍
He has shitty spray..
You're right; lazy drywallers; but also it saves time since perfection takes time. Also, each texture is unique to the job.
Looks great! I have the cheapest pancake 3Gal 100lb PSI it works but you have wait and wait it will build your patience. 😃
thank you. Good job
Thank you!
Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge and experience with us, Shannon. Do you have any pro-tips on scraping popcorn?
here is my video:ua-cam.com/video/09Q4JQ3p8yg/v-deo.html
Great video
Good job
Super... thanks
Nice job
You are awesome!
Is there a compound to spray on the walls that would be different than a ceiling. Also is there compounds that are more durable? Looking to do my garage and wondering if it helps with bangs and bumps when tinkering on the man cave
Love the vids
Like always Great work!!!! And for those that leave negative comments if they were so good they wouldn’t be watching your videos 😂😂
I appreciate that!
Thank you for your video. Planning to do my basement. Just one question: do I have to paint the ceiling prior to knocking it down or white primer should be enough?
another great video my Brother used to this ,so it is correct the way your doing it since i seen him do lots of ceilings ,,,do you call that California ceilings there cause up in Canada that s what we call it
Love all of your videos! Do you ever use an acrylic knockdown knife? I'm getting ready to do my ceiling and that's what I bought.
That will work fine.
Quick question. What materials do you use to covering the walls
