Instructions : Step 1 : Prep the wallboard -- tape it, sand it, paint it, california knockdown hides inperfections on the board, but not a lot. It has to be near perfect or you will see it. If you see streaks in your paint job, you will see them after the texture, preparing you board properly is very important. If your texturing only your ceiling, make sure that you have all you walls poly'd and tape off. Step 2 : Preparing your mud -- For a California Knockdown you need thick mud to spray on the ceiling. But the mud that comes from the box is too tight, so we have to add water. Mix in1 or 2 liters of water, depending on how old you mud is. Mix the compound with a mixing drill, by hand would not remove all the lumps. Different joint compound do come in various forms, instructions on the side usually explain how to use that specific kind of compound. Step 3 : Preparing the Texturing Machine -- Hook up and unroll the hoses, hook up the hopper / spray gun and set up the nozzel size. You want to be using a large size nozzle for your knockdown, since you want to apply lots of texture on the ceiling or wall. Pour the compound into the hopper, The hopper is a large funnel-shaped container that feeds the mixture into the spray gun or machine. You should also adjsut the air pressure and set a high setting. Step 4 : Turn on the machine and start sparying texture, using smooth even strokes to apply a fairly thick and uniform layer. I do not recommend stopping until your entire area is covered with texture. Step 5 : Once your ceiling or wall is covered, turn off the machine and wait for it to set a little, about 10 minutes. You then use the plastic or metal knockdown knife to wipe down, or flatten, the peaks of the sprayed-on compound. We use a plastic knockdown knife with an extension pole in our video. With a soft plastic knife you don't have to worry about pressing to hard and flatening to big of an area. Also make sure you knockdown every area, you can go over top the same area a couple of times to make sure its all knockdown. And that's it, you let it dry, and or done your California Knockdown Drywall Ceiling And Wall Texture Wear your PPE -- Protective eyewear, Hats and Clothing always when doing California knockdown

You should get a real spray rig instead of that home depot crap.Then you wouldn't have more on you then on the ceiling.Hate to see it up close.If I waited 10 min. to start knock it down it would be too dry.You are putting way to much pressure on the knife bet it looks too flat.Guess I need to start calling mine FL. knockdown lol

Hi, I want to know what the blade you used in this video is called.
-
Hey guys great video. Would you mind telling me what side of the knife you are using in this video?
thank you -
Great video guys! My pop taught me all phases of carpentry and remodeling at an early age. This was in the early 70's and the style back then was orange peel on walls and popcorn with glitter on the ceiling. I have full time job now but still do jobs on the side. I still have his gold blatt hopper. My current job involves removing old 70's paneling, putting in drywall, scraping the popcorn off the ceiling and texturing. I have the knock down is the style but was not too sure how to finish. Thanks to this video I now know how! Great job my drywall brothers! Mud for ever!

1. Doesn't really matter, I would take it down to make it easier to knockdown 2. Well I would use a pencil on a string, draw a circle lightly, which can be erase later with a white pencil eraser. Use electric tape to first tape off the circled line, and then use painters tape to finish protecting that area. Then hang your poly :)
-
Ok... I two questions: 1...when do you take the tape off? Right after you spray or after you knock it down? 2...I have seen it where there is a rounded edge around a bull nose corner. What would be the best way to achieve this look?
-
They tape the area off, so that when you texture there's no mud on that area. Use 2 people when putting the tape, one on each end and pull to your mark, that will give you a pretty straight line, Then you can hang some poly using that line, you could do it with only tape, but I would recommend using staples as well, since once you get texturing it could get heavy sitting on the poly and it may start coming down. I've had it happen :(

I have see it where the edges at the wall have been scraped clean leaving a nice boarder. This looks nice but leaves a nice edge for you to paint your walls as well. My question is, when do you scrape this off? While its fresh or just after you knock it down? I can see smearing it making a nasty mess.
-
no man, your suppose to paint first, but you can paint after as well, just i find it softens the knockdown and it doesn't look as sharp after its been painted overtop. Thats just me !
-
it is
-
Do we need to paint the ceiling after the knockdown is dried?
-
good job however would be nice to actually see the texture.
-
