This is incredibly informative and helpful. Thank you so much for all of the clarifications. This will be my first time using the gun and I seriously appreciate it a lot
OMG… don’t press the trigger down all the way?! That’s where i failed? I can’t wait to give it another try. Thanks for the tips! I was about to abandon the powertex.
@@BurtonCustom08 yes, there are a few hurdles I had to over come Just crack open the trigger, also don't forget to thin out your wall texture (spackle/mud)
No, I flushed the small 1 down the toilet last year. Had it in my cleaning bucket, didn't notice until it went down the drain 🤣 I was using the medium one in the video, Otherwise yes the small 1 works as well.
@@BurtonCustom08 yes and no, if you do a vary small area with 90 minute. the power tex gets warm right away and super cures the hot mud so the window is small and you must wash the power tex right away, otherwise you might not be able to clean it or want to spend the time to clean it . Small area I did was 6in x 18in the mud was drying right away and hard within 10mins And looks a little different because it set up so fast.
You cannot just use the joint compound without diluting the material. Your hopper will clog and won't spray out the tip. It looks like the material you are using is even a little too thick!
@@handydandyhomes I watched the video through. You thinned the material at the end. After you told everyone you could just use straight mud in their hopper! You're just an idiot, I'm sorry!
@@rydog88so I went over my video and it's not a mistake, it's a misunderstanding I say you can just use the joint compound ( you don't need special texture mud) as you see me mixing the super thick mud to a pancake batter, I believe it safe to say mix any product to the consistency of pancake batter like I was explaining.

This by far is one of the more helpful review videos of this product - especially for orange peel texturing. I presume you used the smallest nozzle?

Thank you.
I appreciate you, leaving feedback.
Question… hot mud for texture? 20 or 45 min. Yay or nay?

Does it really work? Just asking. Thanks
Yes 100% really works. Take your time and follow the tips in the video.
I bought this to use no paid promotion.

This comment is proof you didn't watch the video all the way through.

The mistakes you made in the beginning cause people not to watch the video all the way through
@@rydog88 ok sounds good 👍
