This video definitely deserves more exposure and more views. Not only do you give instructions, which could be read anywhere, but you give so many pointers that you can only get with experience. Thank you
Thanks for the kind words 🙏
This is one of the best videos for spraying texture I have seen. Very clear with directions, no music overlay to distract the viewer. Bravo!
Thanks brother🤙🏽

Good advise / application advise for us who do not spray texture all the time . I’m going to rent a machine and spray my texture tomorrow.
My old welding class had a sign on the Wall; “ Repitition is the mother of skill”🤙🏽
Renting a Graco sprayer in 3 days to do 3 bedrooms, best how to video I've ever seen!
Awesome man glad I could help
Lol my boss just bought one an dropped it off. Thank you for this video man.
I've been spraying lite mud for 22 years. Adhesion has never been an issue. Gotta be nice to your body every chance you can in this business. I'll add some a/p on ceilings that had popcorn.
Its great that you"re helping out your high school buddy! Too often we lose touch with our school friends because life gets in the way.I no longer know any of my school friends and thats not good.
Ya Iam blessed man there five of us that still hang out when ever we can. Life and kids doesn't allows us to hang out like before but we still stay in touch.
This is a great learning video. You explain it well bro. I actually haven't ever sprayed texture around my area as its not to common here. When i do i will watch this video! I wore my hat today. I've been wearing it heaps..
Thanks for the support brother thats awesome. Thats good man smooth is a bit more expensive here so everyone wants texture.
Great work teaching, this video qualified for an Oscar. Thank you!!!
Thanks for watching and the kind words. Brother
Okay, but it doesn’t deserve me having to watch two feature length commercials back to back.
Ata boy mat. Do as your told and gain that knowledge. Congratulations on your recovery my man. Your boss is my online boss. I challenge all you viewers to donate, if what you've learned made you money as it has me. Since watching these videos my confidence in quoting jobs has increased tremendously. Once I'm done with my projects I will send u some money brother. shout out from 10TH MOUNTAIN NY.
Thanks for watching brother thats more than enough glad I could help.
Good tips. You deserve more credit for this video.
I appreciate that! Thanks brother
That's what we call a holiday, the texture went on vacation. FUNNY!
Great video. Thanks for the tips and tricks. I'm doing my own kitchen remodeling project, and I'm very interested blending in the new sheet rock.
Glad I could help
Ty friend ... Oregon
Good on you for helping your buddy!
Cheehoo, thanks braddas 🤙🏼 video was easy to follow.
Solid my braddah
Great information! Really appreciate it. Helped enormously on my garage conversion. I was going to use a hopper gun for ceiling and walls. I'm going to home Depot and rent one.
Awesome brother glad I could help Goodluck on the build.
Great learning tool thanks again
Nice video, thanks for tips and tricks.
No problem thanks for watching
Great instructional video!
Nice vid!
In The Netherlands we texture with different machines called spackspraymachines.
We spray with 10bar compressors to have a fine structure.
I saw in the video you have to mixure it with water,why?Is the machine not strong enough for heavy materials,it’s look very thin the me.
If we do plasterboard texture spraying first we spray it with primerpaint (white) then after that we spray the texture (brander crystal) but i think that’s to thick for that machine.
I prefere our structure because it’s looks not wetty.
Funny to known that the knock-down texture doesn’t work for most of Europe.
So far your the most informative channel I've came across. I have a few questions. I'm attempting to do knockdown on the ceiling. Do I have to prime it? Do I have to pull the masking/tape off before it dries? And do you paint over it to seal it? Thanks!
You just spary it heavy let it set a little bit then wipe it down before it fully dries make shure to keep the flexible blade clean pull the blade in the same direction to keep to pattern consistent.
Great video. Students, Pay close attention!
Thanks brother
Thanks for the info! How many boxes did it take you for that whole house square foot wise?
Do you find it easier to mask the floors with plastic over scraping with a floor scraper? Everyone does it different. I either use floor paper or scrape it, depending on if it’s finished floor or not.
We usually scape everything but this one had existing wood molding throughout. The flooring guys grumble a bit but it's faster for us.
Mask up Matt!!
Great video, thanks for the tips .
No problem 👍
When give us small tour of Neighborhood most folks spend year savings just Visit Hawaii.

Yup we're are truly blessed 🙌.
Do you press the trigger all the way in when shooting for knockdown?
For heavy knockdown yes
Is it feasible to be able to do a skim coat with the graco rtx. Even if i have to spray compound on then wipe smooth with a blade?
Great video
Thanks!
so spray texture first and then do we roll or spray primer..? and last is paint ya?
Thanks guys! Helpful
Happy to help!
Great video! How much area will one box of mud mixed up cover while doing orange peel?
Usually use about a bucket and a half per room. So about 2 and a half boxes.
Mahalo for that awesome info. Could you also use this machine and that mud mix for knockdown style texturing?
No worries brother, yup just got to leave the mud a bit thicker so it will spray a little slower but works great.
Use a dry paint roller to roll out the wet spots
Can i use Graco RTX tips/nozzles with Marshalltown DuoTex gun? Are they same shape?
Yes as long as it's heavy duty one graco makes. The hose is the same as well but might have to get and reducer depending on what graco model.
Most people are paying good money to have this texture covered over over, and here we have a guy paying to have his whole house done.😮😮😮
Pancake batter consistency
I don't think they rent those that are home Depot, how much a day there? Always screen mud for spray texturing!!
No need to screen your mud might want to check local sherman williams some times they rent.
Damn I want that job
Whats the powder you put in the water? You said hotpercise?
Do you do a knock down after each room is sprayed as it dries in 10/15 minutes. Does the gun start to clog up when you stop to do the knock down. Hints on timing of knock down. thanks
Yup have to go ro by ro if your working alone and don't worry the gun doesn't clog. Some times I leave it out of water and take lunch come back and keep spraying. Just got yo make shure you let it set a bit so it doesn't drag but enough to just give it a quick pass and go.
Muito bom esse vídeo 👏👏👏👏👏
Obrigado🤙🏽
Could this machine be adapted to spray for level 5/skim coat?
No for level 5 I would recommend a mark 4 or 5.
ruclips.net/video/6nrmW8rXoHE/видео.html
I had the exact same question, can you spray thick mud with a mark v
@@franciscocarlos-xy9qv yes, apparently it can spray unmixed mud right out of the box...not that you would ever need too.
@@BushmanCanuck it would be nice if there was an adapter for spraying level 5 or putty coating old walls with thicker mud.
@@franciscocarlos-xy9qv the mark 5 can spray texture as well with the right gun. But yeah the pump on it is a beast and the 5 is a major investment. I would have to be doing a lot of level 5 to justify it. Right now a stucco roller and a tomahawk wiping blade works for me.
How much will it be to rent this at Home Depot for 1 day
Here in Hawaii about 110 a day.
@@csdrywallhawaii harbor freight buy for 30$
im at the point were Im gonna replace my graco sprayers there the 1000 model (the rtx 1000) older model but makes me leary the new rtx line, all the comments across youtube people are saying they lasted a year then quit... what machine do you like the best and what model would u buy again bro? I been following u a while and your opinion is what im making my purchase based on!
Awesome Danny I personal use the Graco rtx 1400 for 95% of our orange peel jobs it's lightweight and gets it down pretty quick. I don't like the higher models because of the new smart start tech. In my opinion it makes them way to sensitive to any change in power. If the unit is pushed a bit to hard the on-board sensors fry... If your mainly doing orangepeel and some heavy texture the rtx 1400 should be good enough to get the job done in a reasonable speed. I recommend maybe renting one at home depot to sample and see how you like it. 🤙🏽

@@csdrywallhawaii that duotex how did u like that one? I love that it has a lid, that would make life so much easier.. i like the wheel in the front and the many other features it has... it is up there in price closer to the rtx5000 now though... My worry about that one is when I had the sharpshooter hoppers each lasted about 2 hours before breaking... How did you like it, do u still use and which one would you use if you could only choose one!?????
Do you ever have an issue with this tripping breakers?
Hey does anyone here know if we can use the texspray to apply a skim coat on the whole wall close to a level 5 ?
No can would come out way to bumpy.
Do you ever have an issue with this tripping breakers ?
Yes especially in older homes because of the power draw it needs its own dedicated line.
Why'd you throw Matt under the bus like that? That's what friends are for.
Comprei uma RTX 1250 estou começando agora com ela
With this machine you dont have to used the spatula on walls for nock down??
All texture spray rigs can spray knock down texture. It's called knock down because you "knock down the texture with a knife to achieve desired look. In this video I am spraying a light orange peel texture. This style doesn't require you to wipe anything. Just one of may texture styles like popcorn, skip trowel etc...
@@csdrywallhawaii thanks for the reply amd great video men
I just picked up a 12:50 today can I run it on a long extension cord
I use heavy duty 50' cord and it works great all the time.
After you sand the drywall do you do a wipe down with a wet sponge to remove dust before texturing the walls and ceilings ?
Thanks for watching, I like to air blow the walls with a cordless blower before spraying removes dust a bit faster but creats a temporary dust cloud so I give the guys a 5min break while it clears out then we go back in to finish up.
