What is the correct pressure setting to spray texture from a hopper?
Adjust air pressure starting at 30-40 psi. It is easier to remove plug if you first trigger gun. For overhead applications and high walls, position the hopper on the gun with the material fill open- ing facing toward the nozzle (front) of the gun.
What psi do you use for orange peel texture?
Pressure of 25 to 45 PSI is usually perfect. Lower pressure won’t be sufficient to expel the compound from the gun; higher pressure will make it harder to control the application. A smaller aperture will create a finer texture, whereas a larger opening will cause bigger blobs to form.
How does a hopper gun work?
A texture hopper gun facilitates textured finishes for drywall-covered walls. The gun uses an air compressor to push mud through the nozzle of a gun and spray it on the wall or ceiling. Use texture hopper guns to create orange peel or popcorn-type finishes to drywall ceilings or walls.
How do you spray acoustic texture?
Unless you’re experienced at painting acoustic texture, do not try to roll on the paint with a paint roller. Instead, use an airless paint sprayer to lightly coat the texture. Apply at least two thin coats of paint to the new texture, allowing each coat to completely dry before applying the next coat.
Do you prime before texture?
The reason for priming before texture,(rarely done these days),is that it allows the texture to adhere and dry evenly. When applied to a no primer surface, the texture reacts different on the mud joints vs. the paper surface of the wall board.
