An easy method I use for rolling on drywall when you can't easily spray drywall texture with a spray-hopper gun. This technique works very well in rooms that can't easily be masked off or would be too time consuming to mask. Simply get your drywall/plaster and mix it down so it's thin enough to roll. Think of the consistency of thick pancake batter. You can scoop out some plaster into a bucket and use a drill and a metal stir to add water to the plaster until you start to get the right consistency. Really whip it up good so it's very even and thoroughly mixed. Then just roll it on with the "restore roller" from home depot. Make sure you roll in both directions and get an even coat. It takes a little while, be patient and get a good coat. When it dries, scrape it down so it's as flat or smooth as you like. Then use a brush or broom to get the dust off the walls and you're ready to paint. Much easier then spraying. :)

Well thanks to this video, I successfully did this to a ceiling. I let it sit for a while then went back over it with a standard roller and it helped get rid of the sharp edges.

Thanks for posting this vid.

??????? BUT!!!! What about walls that have the big blotches......like the walls that are built in Arizona?

what about the last 2" before you roll towards the ceiling or floor where the roller can't reach, do you just cover that area up with baseboards and crown molding?

dud u try this one

Some quick back-story:
Our house burnt down May 4th, 2015. I lost about 15k worth of equipment in my studio. All of that is, of course, tragic; on the upside, with our rebuild, I have been able to soundproof my studio properly. Granted, my friends, family, and I, have had to do all of the extraneous work in my studio construction, as our builder doesn't have adequate experience in doing so.
I've been trying to find the best way to handle finishing the walls with the least amount of work (we've already spent more than 100 man hours in there), as well as being the most cost effective (I've dropped about 3k on soundproofing already).
We finished all the installation of drywall tonight, and tomorrow we'll be going in to mud and tape. I've read or heard somewhere (I've done a ton of research and can't recall what I saw where) that after mudding and taping the joints and screws, that it isn't necessary to wait if one plans on texturing with mud. I absolutely love your idea! What are your thoughts on texturing in this manner without waiting for the mud/tape and screw coverage to dry?

Nice!
I achieved a very similar looking texture by spraying mud on the wall and "dabbing" at it with a wadded up plastic shopping bag.
It was actually an accident. I was using a hopper to apply an orange peel look. I was only a few feet from finishing when the pressure to the hopper was accidentally reduced and it spat 4 to 5 huge blobs or mud that began running down the wall.

How do you do the corners? Do you just shove the roller into them? Thanks!

what kind of plaster did you use for this project? im completly new to drywall, so please forgive my ignorance. my master bedroom has some of the ugliest vinyl wallpaper ive ever seen, and upon removing the wall paper, most of the backing of the paper stayed on, stripping the paint that was underneath. So now i need to retexture the walls so i can paint.

what are the results if you use a normal paint roller? I bought some roll on texture and didn't think about grabbing a special roller.

Best video next thanks man !

Thanks

Thanks very much for this discussion. I used this technique in a new bathroom and it worked well. So last week I decided to use it in a paint-over-paneling job for my sisters house (living room,dining, hall) and it helped a lot in obscuring panel joints, imperfections, etc. Thickness of the mud, loading of the roller, and pressure placed on the roller all have an impact on the finish. It was not as consistent as a pro job, but the variation was random and resulted in a nice looking job. I would post a photo if I knew how. Very pleased!

thanks for the vid :)

Great job. Will this work on the ceiling?

thank you
