I’ve been doing drywall for close to 30 years now. I like this sponge tip for knockdown repairs. Good job. The only thing that I’ve found that works better is to use a rubber squeegee rather than a plastic shield. It always comes out great. Thx for the video.

I think what your doing is perfect. My son and daughter-in-law put learning posters on the wall with two sided tape, then gave my grandbaby a box of crayons. So I had to clean the crayon and two sided tape off the walls. Scrubbing it so hard that it took the texture off the wall in a section that is 6ft x 3ft. I looked at texture guns and a small compressor and I was looking at something in the ballpark of about $200.00 from a pawn shop. I decided to use your sponge and spackle method and it worked great. Now I just need to get off y but and paint the wall. Thanks.

I simulate sprayed knockdown by using a knotch trowel to put a uniform layer on the repaired area; then I roll it with a goop loop roller in two directions (load the roller on a piece of scrap before starting). Then wait for it to set up a little. Then knock it down with a wide plastic knife. Goes much faster than a sponge...

You have been so helpful! I would have totally messed up my knockdown. Had to strip paint off bathroom wall in a small bathroom. I got down to the cardboard paper.

Ya we used to roll it with a paint roller , standard stomp five stomps in a circle overlapping and one stomp in the center of circle , in staggered rows pull with big plastic knife every pull the same direction , we did a finished basement ceiling and walls with the layover technic ,looked awesome but quite a challenge. More difficult then a sunburst around ceiling fans. thanks for posting I was looking for a way to blend and the sponge thing is perfect. Think I'll try it out tomorrow ,I'm gonna go make a sponge right now .😁

Thanks for the video! Have you ever done this on an external wall? I'm after a subtle "stone look" on a cement column, 6" x 6" × 18" tall. I like the idea of applying a lesser amount using the sponge and l wondered if knocking it down would create small flatter areas to mimic eroded granite. Thanks again for the videos, you're inspiring!

I do a fair bit of this knockdown but I always do a whole wall. I don't thin down the mud but am going to try that. I've made and used several things to apply the mud. I've tried putting texture on the stamping tool because that seems to make sense...BUT in reality a flat trowel works fine. What happens is you get the mud on the surface, a big blob and then stamp stamp stamp to spread it out and with each stamp the texture gets finer and finer. Stop at some point when the amount of texture is what you want and matches the rest. I wait a bit and knock it down.. Sometimes I wait a little too long and I have to use a lot of pressure on the trowel but that made it easy to not flatten the texture too much. Once completely forgot to knock down a wall, totally dried. Sanded and looked find so that could be an option.

In a small area like this and concerned about it drying to fast as the application takes longer than spraying, what would you think about misting the ceiling with a water bottle on the areas that are drying to fast while youre still applying mud to the rest?

@ThatKiltedGuyDIY 4 жыл бұрын

If you don’t apply too much, that should help. Another trick is to prime the repair before you texture it as that will slow down how fast it dries out. Or even knock down part of it then continue applying the raw texture.

@ThatKiltedGuyDIY 4 жыл бұрын

Yes, just let it dry well, then spot prime with a nice solid coat of a bonding primer, (not pva) since you might have to let it stick to smooth paint. Let it dry well, then spot paint, softening the edges by pulling off at the end of the roll, and going over the outside gently. Let dry 4 hours, then repaint the whole surface. You can try spot painting the 2nd coat by extending it slightly, but anything shinier than flat, won't blend well which is why I only guarantee paint if I can repaint the whole wall or ceiling, just to the next corner.

Hello That Kilted Guy. What's the Painting tip for Knockdown texture repair? Thank you.

@ThatKiltedGuyDIY 4 жыл бұрын

Hello, here's how to paint a drywall repair and have it not show. Apply one full coat of primer. I recommend a primer like Bullseye 123 as it has a higher bond compared to PVA primer. That's important since some of the primer will be applied to the painted area around the repair and PVA won't stick to that as well since it's made for raw drywall. Apply one full coat of paint, extending slightly beyond the repair. Apply it nice and evenly, going over it one final time very lightly, which will level any lines and heavy spots. Pull the roller off as you roll out to the edges to feather the paint edge. Do this one more time, extending the paint slightly. Tips- If painting over flat paint, you can spot paint as above. But if there's any gloss at all, it will show the edges where you stop so the only way to avoid that is for the 2nd coat to paint the entire surface, or up to the next break such as a beam, trim, etc. Allow each coat to dry the recommended time (read the recoat times on the paint can). Make sure the repair is fully dry. I recommend 24-48 hours, but if you watch, the mud will dry whiter than it was when wet. When 100% of the mud is solid white, it should be fully dry. But it's best to wait another hour or so after that. Don't rush it. If applying a matching texture of knockdown, I like to very lightly sand or scrape around the outer edges of the repair. If you sprayed it, the outer edges will be fine mist, and you want to remove that. But you also want to make your texture outer edges blend into the existing texture by sanding the new texture outer edges so they become one with the old texture. Don't skimp on paint or primer. Use a 3/8" nap for light texture, but can go up to 1/2" for heavier texture. Use quality materials including a roller that you didn't buy at the dollar store, and paint that's at least mid grade. If matching paint, take it to a real paint store like Sherwin Williams, NOT a big box store or True Value etc. They are experts at tweaking it if the computer is off a little. Big box stores seldom are. I most often use Sherwin Williams Super paint and get great results.

Thanks gonna give it a try.. Do you think i could try this texture method on a plywood ceiling? Yes plywood! There’s no $ to add drywall so I was going to attempt to prime it (it’s currently painted chocolate brown) then tape the seams like you would drywall then skim with the joint compound and end with a knockdown texture. What are your thoughts. Im thinking it can’t look much worse. But I don’t want to spend a ton of my time on it if it’s not going to adhere.

Why not prime/paint it before adding the texture so it can be overlapped without having to keep it within the patched new mud?

@ThatKiltedGuyDIY 2 жыл бұрын

When I’m doing a job, my customers like the fact that I can do the job in one day, but I can’t do that if I prime and paint it in that same day. Plus I would have to charge them more. So I’ve learned how to blend it the way I do and it saves money and gets the job done faster. But yes that would work if you have the time. There is a drawback to it though. Normally it only takes a few minutes for the mud to set up the way I do it without priming, but if you prime and paint it it can take 20 minutes or more which is a lot of time to wait and you could accidentally wait too long because of that. Hope that helps. Guy

Depends on too many things. Look for the shine to start going away and test it. For a novice, do a sample on a piece of scrap at the same time and when it knocks down right, the main area is ready.

@@rickybaker42 the best way to get a longer set up time before you have to knock it down is to prime it first. I still don’t think the Misty idea is a good idea. On larger jobs you really need help or you’ve got to work extra hard and it’s really hard to get it to blend right

@ThatKiltedGuyDIY 4 жыл бұрын

I have so many videos in the works and so little time, and actually very little energy due to the virus that hospitalized me in March, so I'll get that out one day, but here's the short and narrow version. Once the drywall is thoroughly dry, prime it and let it dry well. If going onto paint, use a bonding primer like Bullseye 123, then 1 coat of paint, and let dry well, (read the label for recoat times), then a 2nd coat of paint. Extend each coat slightly beyond the last, and don't skimp on materials. Soften the blend edges by pulling away as you roll out. Note that the only thing that will spot paint and blend well is flat paint. The glossier the less it will blend, so then you have to repaint the entire surface to get a blend (2nd coat only).
