Guy, I hope you are keeping well my friend. We haven't chatted in awhile, but I think of you often. Keep the faith brother!
@@brucewilliamsstudio4932 hey thanks. I’m still fighting health crap all the time. The latest is the VA got me in for an epidural for my back pain and that actually made it worse so now I barely sleep at all and I’m in bad pain 24 seven but in a couple weeks they are going to burn the nerves in my back and hopefully that solves it. so I’ve been trying to do some small drywall jobs to try and get ahead. And I can but it does kick my butt pretty good.
@@ThatKiltedGuyDIY I'll email you Guy.
I have been using your techniques while redoing a 1980’s bedroom. So far everything has worked well. Had some issues with removing the popcorn ceiling due to numerous coats of paint. Thank you for sharing your expertise and guidance. Very much appreciate.
Love the Technicality put into these videos, all other in the net are just mix, load and shoot. The grey board is great, shows up the textures well. Thanks Brother!
Ever Forward i try hard to make it clearer so you can learn better.
I'm starting my fourth whole house remodel, a century old, two-story farmhouse. This video gives me hope that I may be able to do the texturing myself, which will save me thousands. Thanks for another great instructional video.
I removed the old speakers set in the ceiling, repaired the hole and now going to give my best to repair the knock down. I am sure your coaching will now give me what it will take. Thanks again.
This was very helpful. I have an upcoming job that wants medium knockdown, which I have never attempted before. After watching this, I am more confident in doing it. I plan on doing quite a few tests at my place before putting it on a customers wall for a first time though. I really appreciate you taking time and showing people things like this.
Jimmer, I honestly love hearing stories like this. I truly enjoy helping others learn how to do these things on their own so thank you for allowing me to help and stay in touch, ok?

Thank you for being part of my channel.
This the is best and most comprehensive instruction on knock down texture on RUclips. Awesome lesson. Thank you.
I like that you painted the drywall so we can see the texture. Very helpful.
Glad you like it!
Amazing instruction! Thanks for taking the time to show this skill. Particularly enjoyed the setting charts. That will help tremendously
Thank you so much for your videos, I have watched several of them, sometimes several times, to get tips and tricks to help me on my renovation journey. You have helped me immensely, and have been able to find the answers to all my questions with ease. Thanks to you, I am now confident that I can accomplish my goals successfully. You're a Godsend! Thank you for your tutorials and your service, both for our homes and our country!
This is very helpful, I've been drywalling and painting for 22 years now and always wanna learn more and your techniques are exactly correct and I greatly appreciate your expertise and time, thank you so much. Sincerely Lorenzo gig harbor WA.
Very nice! You kept it simple and straight forward for me. Showing the thickness of the mud and the actual spraying were the things I needed to see.
Easily the most informative video on the subject. Especially where the air/material adjustments are concerned. Kudos.

Hey Brian, thank you for the kind comment and I truly appreciate Your friendship and for you being part of my channel. I really enjoy helping everyone learn these skills. This one was pretty intense to edit and it took me over eight hours just to edit it. Shooting it was much easier, LOL. But in time, I believe it will become my full-time business and make it worth all the effort financially as well as knowing how I’m helping everyone. Thanks again 😎✌🏽💪🏽🦶🏼
Kilted Guy, you are an exceptionally good teacher. Your years of experience are obvious. Thank you for the valuable information.
Thank you!
You are the best! I followed your teaching and did the FIRST good drywall patch I've ever done. THANK YOU!
Awesome!!! I love hearing that. Thanks for sharing. Guy
I am so glad I found this video!!!! You answered ALL my questions!
Always glad to hear that. Thanks
Just the answers I was looking for with thorough explanations. I had already gotten used to using the same version of the small hopper gun from homart. The 3 different knockdowns you demonstrated was what I was missing. Remodeling to sell and will be back for more I'm sure, when I get my new/used place. I really appreciate you painting the board green so I could see the amount of material you were spraying and the size of the drops.
Richard, glad I could help. I try to make it clear 🤓 for everyone, and although it takes more work, I want to make it as easy to see as possible, so I'm glad it helped. Thanks, Guy
I've watched many videos as I prepare my first texturing project. Yours was by far the most informative. Great Job!! Thank you!!
Ed Appleberry Awesome. That’s my goal is to give you enough information to understand how to do this right. Thanks for your comment!
Very useful video. Especially, the explanation of how to get the medium, heavy by adjusting the trigger pull and airflow among other things. Going to do a texture for the first time. I Have confidence after watching this video. Thank you !!!
Thank you so so much! This video simplified the concept of the process and I feel confident I can do this!
Great the thicker one well hide all the joints and bad floating bought mine already can't wait to try it.
I've been waiting for my brother in law to come help with with a knockdown texture, but I feel like after watching this, I could probably do it myself! Very detailed and lays out everything I need! Thank YOU!
Check out this video too-

THANK YOU GUY! Just a note to say Thank you so much for all of these awesome videos! I wanted to let you know that i successfully replaced a sheet and a half of drywall myself. I purchased all of the materials that you suggested from your store. I already had a hopper and air compressor and had previous attempts in the past but failed, due to not having the knowledge in the videos. I mixed up the mud and made an attempt at knock-down on a couple of pieces of drywall from the garage. After spraying the mud I let it set up for a few minutes, approximately 7 - 9 minutes. One piece I used more air and one I used the minimum setting. I used the 12" flexible plastic piece to knock the mud down and WOW, it looked perfect. So, I carried that knowledge onto the drywall that I had taped and floated, also following your guidance. It all worked out perfectly! My wife and brother could not believe that I had done that myself and they were both SUPER IMPRESSED. I truly feel free now, knowing that I understand the process and that you provided me the tools to get the job done right. As a result, I now have the freedom and confidence in knowing that I can do this without having to spend hundreds to thousands of dollars for very minor drywall jobs.
Awesome. I always love hearing that since that's why I do these videos. Take care.
I'm an okay taper but don't have enough patience to make perfectly smooth joints. Doing a medium to heavy knockdown, I can hide my imperfections. Uses a bit more primer covering the texture, but happy I can do the project myself. Hello from Esko, Minnesota. Russ

How smooth does the drywall joints and screws need to be before you spray on the knockdown? Thanks George Thomas gthomasesq@aol.com
Excellent tutorial. I caught your video by accident, and not needing to do a knock down job presently. I had to watch the video to completion because your great personality comes through and relaxes me making for a better day!! Thank you for who you are.
Thanks, I appreciate that. 😎
Thanks again for doing this video. I used it to help me a few years back and now needing to do some more came right back for this great help. You are awesome and as I believe you are a Veteran thank you for your service.
I NEED YOUR INPUT. What subjects would you like to see me cover on my channel? Be specific if you can like, 'Fixing a dent in a wall' or 'how to choose a drywall joint compound' etc. Comment below and I'll see it. Thanks! 😎👣
I come across popcorn ceilings that are so heavily painted that I'm not able to completely scrape it off, can only get the nubs off, and have needed to skim it a few times to get it smooth. How do you recommend dealing with that?
TY I learned several things here. That said, a little more info that I thought you'd certainly mention in this video. The nozzle size and air pressure you used in this video. Also, I've watched several other vids where the guys used appearance as their gauge as to when to knockdown. They state to wait until just after the glossy look is gone (20+/- minutes depending on the variables involved).
VICTOR EOUS good questions. I pretty much always use the same air pressure if 35 psi because the airflow, (cfm), is more important. And I almost always use the medium tip. I use the fine tip for really fine texture and rarely use the large tip as i don’t like globby texture you get with that. Thanks for asking.
Choosing materials (quality availability, etc)and/or material choices (different types of same material (all choices in thinset for example) and applications (pressure treated vs ?)
Round corners, thanks. People need to be taught, not told. Good job, thanks again.
Im so glad I found this channel. A plethora of information and knowledge. Thank you Sir.
Very informative! Love that it is very detailed but simple enough instruction that a lay person like me can understand. Thank you so much for the extra tips as well!
JESUSA WEBB, Thank you for the comment. I appreciate hearing from you.
this is the best knockdown tutorial for DIYer......i bought that sprayer but i did not use it because i dont know how to adjust it.....now i can put it to use...i sub
Glad I could help. Let us know how it goes and if you have any further questions.
i have 40 years in finishing and general trade, hands on, I learned a lot from this video...it is clear, clean and concise instruction...no wonder you have had so many likes, keep up the real work...really dig your style and methodical instruction...I will use this on my current 2700 sf interior repaint project, tons of repairs and matching knockdown...
Kilts must be comfortable as hell, but maybe not for high ladder work? tucson usa
Thank you, I truly appreciate that. Well, I figure, if someone walks beneath me on a high ladder and looks up, they must want to see something.... but it's only happened once, and she stood there quite awhile which was funny to me.
Thanks for giving your time and experience. You sure help explain things for my benefit!
Thank you so much. I appreciate the time you have taken to make this video. I’m gonna go do my work now with confidence. Thank you.
Hey brother, I'm a contractor and have done this years ago .got one again today .thanks for the refresher course.good stuff
Nicely done! I appreciate the clear information in a timely manner.
I'm a electrical contractor, I have to open drywall all the time to install new branch circuits for everything, now have I drywall and texture boy this video is very helpful
Best knockdown video I've seen. I've tried a couple times to texture my ceiling where there were cracks and I fixed the cracks. Both times it came out ugly, so obvious a patch, with a sponge and a metal knife. I'm going to try with this hopper (I already have a compressor) and that big plastic knife.
Thank's, great video, getting ready too do texture today did some in garage didn't turn out to well, now that you've explained some of my mistakes, I'm making the corrections needed. Hopefully It'll turn out better. Thanks again, been watching a few of your videos as of recently. Well done.
Hey Mark, thanks for the comments. It does take some practice, but with my guidelines you will figure it out. Just keep playing with it. Thanks, Guy
Thank you for the detailed instructions to texture walls! I'll be finishing a drywall installation to guest cabins on my property. Have tapped and mudded walls, but never sprayed and with your easy to follow suggestions, it should go well!
Barbara, Thank you! I'm glad I could help you out with your projects and glad to have you as a subscriber!
Thanks for posting ur experience. I have done knockdown before with good results. But I have picked up new skills by seeing these video. Keep it up.
Hey thanks for letting me know. I love helping others learn to do these things themselves.
Thank you so much for your video! I just finished doing my ceiling and walls. They turned out amazing!
Awesome! I love hearing these stories
Thank you, that was the perfect full length video to explain what I needed to understand.
Thank you for breaking down all the variables that impact how the knockdown will look.
Thanks, I appreciate that 😎, I love hearing your comments, & I hope you’ve subscribed!
Mr. Guy Purcella, a big thank you for sharing your knowledge that you've acquired over a lifetime. You are a gifted teacher and help me make sense of what I'm doing and how to remedy my mistakes and problems. I appreciate also your overview of the tools you find suitable and recommendable, and the links you provide for purchasing. Best wishes to you as you fight yours and your wife's health issues. I have contributed to your gofundme page as a way to say thank you for saving me money on my projects, and I hope that many others who view your videos do so as well as a way to express their gratitude.
Thank you so much. I'm glad I've helped you and thanks for your support of our work.
My refresher course... Just now ready to start texture on my major remodel. 5 rooms 2 closets a little over a thousand sq. ft. I done quite a bit of tape and bedding and sheet rock repair through the years, but it's always good for me to mentally prepare because of the years between projects. Also because this is an older home and a major remodel...It is a chore to match new with old. But I really do like the challenge. These kind of videos are priceless , this work if I had had to hire it done would have cost me in excess of 25k . I'm talking about hanging the sheet rock, tape, bed , texture and painting. I live in a remote area and contractors can really name their price because out of dozen contractors I'm lucky to have any return calls. 4 hours of electrical work cost me 750. 5 hours plumbing cost a thousand, 1 man working on each. I supplied all the parts.
Very informative. Thank you for explaining all the variables and showing specific examples.
You are very welcome. Thanks for stopping by and I hope to see you on another video one day.
I'm one of the guys most people dislike....I'm the guy that sprayed on the popcorn ceiling 35 years ago....that's what I did for a living. I'm now helping my son redo his ceilings and learning about knockdown, found your video and you pretty much cover all the bases. The bit about painted or unpainted ceilings and how the moisture is wicked away is gold....Thanks for making a vid that explains all the variables.
Thanks. I also sprayed the popcorn in the 70s. Glad i could help.
@@sstocker31 so you did a crappy job for a living
What a shame
This old Navy guy is very much appreciative of the care you take to explain the process. I've got whole house I need to texture(a horrible smooth wall finish), and this looks just like what I need to do. Thank you so much!
Hey. I’m glad to be of help.
@@ThatKiltedGuyDIY Do I need to prime smooth wall painted(eggshell or semi-gloss) walls before I do knockdown?
@@martyepperly5803 anytime I apply mud over a painted surface I sand it with 80 grit to remove some sheen and leave scratches, ie tooth, for the mud to bite onto. You can also add a tablespoon or two of woodglue to a bucket of mud for better adhesion.
I've been a painter for 44 years now trained at Baylor college of Medicine, My Dad was my formen. You Sir have awesome technique, My Dad when he did a knock down always
used a spray shield cut like the big blade you used lol that wasn't around in the 80s when I was an apprentice . If he were alive today and watched you I think he WOULD have smiled and said your a skilled Tradesmen like us .trained in all things painted stripped lacquered and refinished .Keep making videos Sir your Good . Your skill with the trigger equals mine men like us are rare now .
Thank you so much. I have worked on perfecting my technique for 35+ years.
i watched your video. I sprayed it out and it came out perfect. The only thing I did wrong was when I blended into the painted area and you were right about it taking longer to dry. The other areas were ready for me to use the knockdown blade but the painted area took all day to dry where I could do the knockdown . I accidentally made one painted area smooth as it wasn't ready..I will try your sponge tear out to dress it up before I paint it. Thanks again. I was amazed how my first job turned out. Your in depth video helped me figure out what I was doing wrong and can make the corrections. Thanks again.
Awesome. Send me a pic of the painted texture if you want I’ll feature it on a video.
Thanks so much for this video, only one I’ve found that’s taken the time to explain how to properly spray, not just how to knockdown
Thanks, glad I could help you out 😎. And thanks for subscribing!
Hi I found the crow for foot texture vido very helpful it showed a way that i think any home owner or small repair guy can install a textured ceiling with tools you may all ready own. I was very pleased and learned new skills.
Thank you for the video that EXPLAINS the things that affect the pattern. I am slightly less terrified now - since my husband swears he is too heavy handed to do it. Now I need to go through your other videos. I stumbled on this one. Amazon items are in the wish list for now until we get the wood ceiling done.
I just knew this would help people much better than just showing how I do it, so I'm always glad to hear that it has. Thanks, and good luck. Guy
Incredibly helpful, thank you That Kilted Guy!
Thanks for painting that board, it helps a lot on this screen color etc. Light from screen. Good video my kilted friend.
Just ordered that hopper and gun, looks perfect for the small jobs I have coming up, and half the cost of going to Lowes or Home Depot.
Great video. Getting ready to spray texture tomorrow. Easy to understand and useful to see all three textures. Thank you.
Glad I could help!
Thanks for the tips ! if you want to get the texture out of the can texture, after you use it run the nozzle under water, it will clean out mud and let you continue to use up can until empty !
that makes a big difference. Here’s another canned texture tip. If you go to spray and it’s coming out to coarsely with not enough pressure, run it under hot water for a couple of minutes and try again, and repeat until the pressure is right.
Wow! Thanks, much for your lesson! My practice session with the sprayer took about five minutes for a perfect pattern, plus another 20-minutes for drying time sufficient for a knockdown. The results were excellent because I already had the sprayer settings based on your recommendations for a heavy pattern. I launched the bathroom project and completed the spraying work in just a few minutes. My observations for others' benefit: 1) Don't start the mud mix with too much water. (I ended up mixing enough texture to do a large bedroom.) 2) If you practice in the garage and the project is indoors with less ventilation, you'll need to be patient with the knockdown's waiting duration time.
3) Budget your time with plenty left over for cleanup. Speed it up with dish soap and a sponge. Thanks again!
Hey I’m so glad I helped you out. And that is some good additional advice. If you want to lessen the waiting time to knock the mud down you can raise the heat and increase the airflow with a ceiling fan. But you don’t wanna put your fan directly at it unless it’s one small spot. And a garden hose and a spray nozzle works great for spraying them clean. That’s if you can do it outside in your yard or someplace like that.
@@ThatKiltedGuyDIY I have a hundred acres behind the house and a long hose, so the texture dump wasn't a problem.
If I can find jus the right link, I can send you the money I saved by doing this job myself. God Bless you and your wife. Y'all will be in my prayers. I don't pray often, but I am earnest when I do. Please stay in touch. God Bless! (If you want to send me the link and save me the search, send it to robert.m.blake.jr@gmail.com)
@@ThatKiltedGuyDIY Good stuff. It just crossed my tiny mind that a hairdryer might be useful for those big knots that want to smear when I'm dragging the tool. Man! I need to find another wall to do!
I have the same hopper. I haven't used it yet because of the price and the air valve. Watching this shows it wont be that bad and how to set it up. Thanks again.👍
Very informative video. Thanks for explaining the why along with the how. Really makes a difference.
Thanks. I do try and teach and not just demonstrate. Glad it helped.
Thank you, Mr. Kilted Guy for such an informative video.
Thanks so much! ❤ Super informative and entertaining 😊 you answered ALL of questions, and you have another subscriber!Keep the good work coming!🎉😊
Your video was spot on. I followed everything you said and my first knock down job went great thanks so much
Fantastic!
Thanks for the video. Excellent information and demonstration. I’m doing some repairs on my knockdown ceilings and walls and while I was experimenting and getting close I still wasn’t there yet. After watching the video and getting your tips I got it dialed in. Save me tons of time. Who knows if I would have ever got it right.
Awesome!
It's all about timing. I would only strike once. I would say always go heavy and and give it 15 to 20 minutes. You want your big glops to be about 6" apart because when they get knocked down they will be closer. If you aim for this you will end up with 1" probably. Use your big plastic knife first then work your 6" or 12" on the light fixture areas and stuff. Less is more. Sometimes you need to walk away and wait. If you run your mud through a brand new paint screen you should barley be able to squeeze it through for lace knockdown. Orange peel should look like a thick duck web on your hands and be strained with the paint screen. Double that thickness for knockdown.
Thank you for the video. I really got inspired and it's a great help for me. God bless you
thank you and I’m glad to hear that.
Best video on the subject! Thank you for sharing.
Wow, thank you!
The medium came out perfect what an awesome job by professional drywaller I prefer medium to heavy gives it more character the light sample doesn't show up enough in my opinion
Thanks for the lesson. I have never put on a knockdown texture but I might have to do some repairs because I now own a Villa in Florida. They use a lot of this type of finish there. Thanks again.
Rick, glad I could help.
Great video, Guy! I don't do a lot of textures anymore (not popular in my area), so a refresher course was helpful 🙂
Thanks for creating this video. Very helpful. I was worried about spraying texture in a room I am remodeling but much more confident now. Thanks for serving and defending our country. God Bless!
Thanks, Glad to help and good luck.
Just wanted to follow up on how project went. The project included framing, hanging 6 sheets of sheet rock, taping, and texturing. I watched many of your videos and purchased and used several of the tools you recommended to include the small hopper and large plastic knockdown knife. By using all your techniques and tricks the results were amazing. I was able to match the small knockdown texture perfectly. Thanks for taking the time to help a rookie like me get a great result!
Joe Lucero awesome! Thanks for sharing this. This is why i work so hard to put these videos out.
My spray down didn’t knock down. Your video showed me why. I will buy more spreadrock and follow your teaching. Thank you. I thought it was all in the wrist but I see it only works in tennis. Thanks again. Air and squeezed, simple.
The difference good great outcomes are small details. You a very good teacher, thank you for your effort.
Thanks and hope it works good for you!
I found it to be helpful, thanks for making it
Really appreciate that you painted the board so we could better see the texture!
You’re treasure trove man. Thank you for your awesome videos!
Excellent and thorough demonstration for those who are seeking DIY information. Many people show using professional floor hoppers that most people will never have access to. Thank you for sharing. I have always used a Kobalt hopper that is almost identical to the larger one you showed. It can get heavy but other than that is a great tool. I personally prefer baby butt smooth class 5 drywall but the two of the bedroom walls of the house we own now were textured, however they did not knock it down and it was horribly rough. We scraped them and are retexturing over them. They also only did two of the four walls. There was wall paper on all walls at one time and I have a feeling that whomever installed the wall paper didn’t prime the walls with wall paper primer. Then when they went to remove it, the two of the walls were badly damaged. Why they didn’t texture all four walls I have no ides? We are doing all four walls and going to try to make them as close as possible to each other. We are priming all of the walls prior to spraying with texture. It has been about 13 years since I textured a wall and just wanted a refresher course. You have given me exactly what I was looking for and after having watched about 10 videos I knew within 10 seconds after starting yours I had found the one I needed. Thank you for being willing to share and teach others your skill set. Many people have no inclination to pass knowledge along. I have always shared freely with anyone willing to learn and greatly appreciate anyone else willing to do the same. Blessings to you Sir.
Thanks. I enjoy doing this and helping others.
Thank you for this awesome demonstration!
