use a spongeDrywall texture, looks like a paint roller pressed and pulled straight out. tried, doesnt work. any help.?
hmmm??...not really getting your description much...done like you said, then the tops smoothed with a drywall blade/knife??...dunno if that gets the ';veiny'; look or not...
it is a roller a fluffy one , you just roll it out and it is stucko
I would say, to shoot on your texture mixture and then wait about 3 to 5 minites, and then pull the textue that is on your wall to the side with a CLEAN ';wall knife';, something like a 8'; inch knife. I hope this answers your question, if not that try it anyways, you may like this texture pattern better than the one you have. Good luck. El Toro Malo.
It sounds like you're describing an effect done by using a roller with a big ';NAP'; on a smooth surface, like drywall. NAP is the thickness of the roller fluff; for instance when you paint over brick, because the surface varies so much %26amp; has nooks %26amp; cranies, using a normal paint roller with a short nap, you'd have to keep going over it again %26amp; again pressing down hard, but if you use the proper NAP for brick, the nap is long and gets in all those holes %26amp; crevaces a lot easier. If you use a big nap on a SMOOTH surface, like drywall, I'm sure it'd make a rougher texture as a result.
BUT generally, to get a nice texture on a wall, you'd rent a texture sprayer at your local home depot and spray the texture on, THEN you paint over it when dry. (you can create many different textures with a sprayer)
I don't want to be long winded, BUT.... I've seen THE BOMB in texture created by (maybe you'll want to try this in a different room) taking a stencil, for example, a palm tree, tape numerous palm tree stencils all over your wall. Then fill in the stencil with a thick layer of spackle compound and a putty knife keeping the texture rough %26amp; not smoothing it over too much. Pull off the stencil before the compound dries and VOILLA! You can leave it as is, paint over it for a suttle texture, or glaze over your design!
(just HAD to share that with ya!)
depending on then size of the project, you might consider using a spray applicator. If you are just doing a small hole repair, and all you have to do is finish with the texture, ( you have already patched the hole) I dont use Fixall for thise type of task since it dries way to fast and is very hard to work with when it hardens up . try using a prodct call ';quickset 20 min set'; it easy just add water and follow intructions. and when applying for a small area try using a sponge , first apply the texture to the wall , with a 6 to 8'; wall knife leaving a smooth layer, after a couple minutes 2-3 depending on how thin or thick the putty you had mixed . lightly apply the spounge and tap of the area f wet putty and move around area and beyoung the fixed repair to blend in the texture with the surrounding area.
after it has dried if you think its tp pointy .y ou can use a fine sand paper and lightly smooth to match existing texture. then paint ..
I hope this helps
