Never done this before. Watched too many videos but yours was what I needed. I was still a bit on the fence and then you laid that paint on and I was like “nailed it, this is it!!” Thanks
Its amazing how much BS i had to watch before i found a video worth watching, awesome job and thank you very much for your time. Anyone needing the correct answers for skip troweling...This is the video for you
Excellent demonstration. No need to drag out the compressor and spraygun with the hopper. The pancake batter reference makes all the difference. Back to my bathroom remodel. Thanks
I just bought a house, that has this type of texture. I did some repairs to the drywall and for the sake of me I couldn't get it right. Checked dozens of videos and Yours is the only one that shows the way I need it done...👍
You know when you are trying to learn something new and you just can’t get it, but then you finally DO get the hang of it and it’s so easy that you get that flabbergasted/tickled giggle feeling? I do! Thanks for the awesome how to!
That was one of the best DIY videos that I've seen, and I've been watching a lot of them while learning how to remodel my bathroom after water damage. Thanks!
this is EXACTLY what my entire ceiling is! I called it "splatter" cuz it's not knockdown nor orange peel but it's "skip trowel!" Wow, I'm amazed at how well this comes out with just light pressure on the compound spreader knife to get this. Wish I'd seen this Years ago.
Thanks so much for the tips on Skip Trowel because I have been in the business over 30 years and I don't see any down here in South Ga. It's mainly just slick and knockdown ceilings around here. I'm going to do a few ceilings in my house to see how it turns out with myself doing it and then I may introduce it to some new home owners around here. I seen a lot of skip trowel in Texas and California on vacation. Thanks again✌🏼
Thank you so much I've been a finished tapper for years raised in the midwest with mainly smooth walls, now living in the West, where there is Skip trial texture; I pretty much been struggling with it but as I saw you put it on with the 6-in going sideways then vertical, explains a lot thank you so much sir!!!
Thank you so much for this. I was watching other videos that added sand and this was not working out. This texture is exactly the texture on our walls!!!
Thank you! Just the video I have been looking for. I need to do a 2 foot square in my garage. Most videos are showing roll on and such. I think my house was sprayed on then knocked down. Some big and some small. I'm always looking for shapes that look like something. Found quite a few! I think I will practice on some cardboard or such first. THANKS AGAIN !!!
This is perfect. I took a chair rail off the wall that was nailed every 2 inches AND glued. Such awful overkill. And I have painters coming on Friday, so I need to get the texture fixed by then!! Thank you! 🧡
For you DIYers he is making this look soooo easy his technique is exactly that and yours may not come out as nice but trial and error also skip trowel work doesn't have to be uniform. Actually, it's better the more chaotic the look. Good luck. And to the finisher on this tutorial, great work! 👍
Nice! one of the best examples and explanation of doing this texture. I personally like to use a flexible plexiglass knife to skip because its more forgiving and easier to skip uneven drywall surface waves or bumps. great stuff
I agree I had to watch a bunch of BS before I found this video absolutely fantastic thank you for sharing I will be doing this this afternoon once I get the last piece of drywall up maybe tomorrow after I get it mounted today thanks again.
Thanks you so much for taking the time to comment, I just the 6” on the video so show the easy way to start doing the texture and ones you get the hang of of it it will be easier to do texture with bigger drywall knife that includes 8”, 10”, 12” and 14”
Still feels like some kind of voodoo magic to me but this is the best demo I've seen so I'll give it another shot! I've got lots of spare drywall to practice on.
That’s awesome! I just to do work with with a 24” in production homes, the 6” it’s a great way to start learning skip trowel and move to a bigger knife ones you get the hang of it 😃
This is my favorite style of wall texture. This was in my dad’s duplex and I always wanted it in my own home. Unfortunately, my home’s walls have the stipple brush texture. I wish I could redo my home like this, but that’s way too much work. So I will just have to live with the boring stipple texture.
Thank you so much for sharing your technique. I think I might be able to do this with your method.! I’ve been struggling at getting the texture right. You make it look so easy.
I was looking for a very light but modern texture for my kitchen ceiling, I can do everything else but making mud smooth on walls, I need alot more practice, but this is like magic, qnd seem easy with the little practice,any suggestions please, Thanks.
This video is great On one of my walls I already put primer because I was about to call it and have one wall not match the room. is it to later for me or can I still use this method on top of the prime
I kept looking for the skip ad at the beginning. That was brutal. But overall good video. Well done with the knife, hopper gun looks better imo though.
I am struggling to replicate this texture. It's exactly what I have in my house but everytime I start a pull, I just get a solid line of mud and it pulls like I'm doing a skim coat. For a lot of each pull it's just solid mud, then in skips a little bit. Any tips for the problems I'm having? I've tried varying knife pressure and mud thickness but can't seem to find a good balance.
Hello, I had that same problem when I first started one of the main reasons was the compound mud was to thick and wasn’t letting it run across properly, other one try to pull the drywall knife a little faster don’t be afraid to add some speed when pulling the knife, keep practicing with the 6” till you get the hang of it before you move to a bigger size of drywall knife 😃 you got this 🔥👍🏼, thank you for taking the time to watch my video I really appreciate
@@remodelanddiys5115 Awesome, thanks for the reply! I was trying to use a 10" knife but will get a 6" like you used/mentioned! I'll reply with how it goes. Thanks again!
Never done this before. Watched too many videos but yours was what I needed. I was still a bit on the fence and then you laid that paint on and I was like “nailed it, this is it!!” Thanks

Agreed!!!!!
I agree.......great job!
How about how many awful texture videos there were lol
Hey, so can i use putty to do this? Ready mix mud? Or what? @remodelanddiys5115
This is EXACTLY the texture on our walls. I'm very grateful you took the time to make this video. I just figured I was out of luck. A BIG Thank You!
Thank you so much for taking the time to comment and am glad the video was helpful 😃
Thanks. One of the best videos out there right now on skip trowel. Only had to watch about 26 videos to get here.
Excellent demonstration. No need to drag out the compressor and spraygun with the hopper. The pancake batter reference makes all the difference. Back to my bathroom remodel. Thanks
Glad it was helpful and thank you so much for watching 😀
Of you're doing an entire house, or even a room, the hopper and compressor is the way to go.

This is exactly what I needed. This is the first video, of many, I watched that matched the texture on my walls and ceiling.
You know when you are trying to learn something new and you just can’t get it, but then you finally DO get the hang of it and it’s so easy that you get that flabbergasted/tickled giggle feeling?

It won’t be an exact match as everyone skip trowel comes out differently. But you’ll be able to get it damn close I’m sure.
@@SuperXpertise I agree skip trowel it’s just like a signature unique

best skip trowel video I've seen and NO sand... wow! curious why the 6" knife... why not 12... 14" - figuring just for the demo, you used 6"
Thanks you so much for taking the time to comment, I just the 6” on the video so show the easy way to start doing the texture and ones you get the hang of of it it will be easier to do texture with bigger drywall knife that includes 8”, 10”, 12” and 14”
Excellent, i think my problem is im not making the mud, like batter lol. My texture is a little to heavy but looks the same, excellent work thank you
I’m scared but I’m gonna do it 😎😎thank you for this video
Don’t be intimidated it’s all about practice and thanks for watching 👍🏼😃
Still feels like some kind of voodoo magic to me but this is the best demo I've seen so I'll give it another shot! I've got lots of spare drywall to practice on.
I tried exactly what he did. Didn’t work Just add a little of sant in it. It will do it. I’m pretty sure that’s what he did
It’s all about practice you can do it 😃 thanks for watching
Awesome video! Thank you
Your welcome 🙏 and thank you for taking the time to comment 😀
Yessss!! Thank you for this video!!!

Just what I needed. Thank you
Glad it was able to help and thank you so much for watching 🫶🏻

Thank You for This !!!! I can’t go wrong !!
Your welcome 🙏 glad it was able to help you 😃
Thank you so much! You're a champion!
Thank you 🏆😂 and thanks for watching 😃
I do skip trowel for a living and I use a 18inch skip trowel knives. But for using a 6 not to shabby.
That’s awesome! I just to do work with with a 24” in production homes, the 6” it’s a great way to start learning skip trowel and move to a bigger knife ones you get the hang of it 😃

Great video! Thank you!
Your welcome, glad it was helpful 😃
Great video, texture style is used extensively in the Phoenix area. Nice touch with the rubber chicken!
Thank you so much 😊 for taking the time to check out the video, just trying to make the video a little fun with the chicken 😆
Great video! Does it work without the 🐔?
Omg :amazing job
Thank you
Thank you 😊
exactly what I was looking for. no wasted moments in the 7 minutes!
Thank you!
I prefer using a sponge, and joint compound right out of the bucket, but different textures require different techniques.
Just don’t choke your chicken! Lol. Greatest tutorial video on skip trowel on RUclips.... simple basic and to the point
Lol 😂 I’ll try not to, thank you so much I try to cover the most I can on the video and to help out with the texture 😃
Thank you so much for sharing your technique. I think I might be able to do this with your method.! I’ve been struggling at getting the texture right. You make it look so easy.
Your welcome an am glad 😀 it is helpful, just a little practice and you will get it done
Great video and thank you! Still having a hard time finding the chicken thou
It in the lumber department 😂 😝 thanks for watching 😊
finally....i only need to do this at approx.6sqf!!thanks'
Thanks for watching and glad it was helpful 😃
Nice video!!! Can i use any drywall mud or does it have to be the same shown on this video?
I was looking for a very light but modern texture for my kitchen ceiling, I can do everything else but making mud smooth on walls, I need alot more practice, but this is like magic, qnd seem easy with the little practice,any suggestions please, Thanks.
That’s great 😃 one suggestion I can give you it’s not to use to much drywall compound on the knife for better texture
This video is great On one of my walls I already put primer because I was about to call it and have one wall not match the room. is it to later for me or can I still use this method on top of the prime
Hello 👋 yes this text can be applied before or after the primer 👍🏼
Great! Thanks
Nice! For painting, what nap size did you go with on that roller?
I usually use a 1/2” roller. Thanks for watching
Thank you!
Did u apply primer before texturing ?
No I just painted the wall so it will be visible on camera, thanks for watching
I kept looking for the skip ad at the beginning. That was brutal. But overall good video. Well done with the knife, hopper gun looks better imo though.
Don’t know why it’s showing ads, video there is no monetization on the video thanks for watching 😊
there seems to be some kind of bumpiness (textured paint?) on the wall already in your video. Does this technique also work with an unpainted drywall?
Hello yes it work with an unpainted wall 👍🏼, the reason I paid it the walk for the video purpose to see the pattern of the texture better 😃

@@remodelanddiys5115 Awesome, thanks for the reply! I was trying to use a 10" knife but will get a 6" like you used/mentioned! I'll reply with how it goes. Thanks again!
Can that All purpose compound for outdoor application?
Yes it can be use for a front or back patio ceiling as long is not in direct contact with water or moisture
@@remodelanddiys5115 thanks
I've seen a lot of videos using a 14 in. long trowel, is 6 in. better? Thanks
Thank you Thank you
Awesome ..!
Thanks you very much sir.
Damn I will try to do this on the wall lol looks so hard
How is it skipping wothout sand
Just by running it light over the top will give you the skip pattern no need to add sand
You don’t need sand in the mixture? A bunch of videos I watched said to use 20/30 grit sand.
That’s skip trowel with sand but it’s pretty much the same step thanks for watching 😊
Best video on skip trowel. Why didn't you add sand? I hear thats a thing.
Thank you so much 😊, there is some state that use skip trowel with sand but most of them it’s with out, the application process is the same
Can you use *REDLINE Wall Texture* for this instead if all purpose joint compound? If so is the process the same?
Yes of course and it’s the same process
Thanks for the quick reply. Do they perform the same or do you find all purpose joint compound is easier to skip because it grabs better?
What knockdown name does this go by ??
This type of texture is call skip trowel with out sand 😃
Nice job. This is exactly the type of texture I was looking for. Thanks!
Amazing!
Thank you ☺️
Thank you
Bro how are you doing that though what is on your knife that is making it texture !????
