Customers are mixed about the texture of the pump sprayer. Some mention that it's perfect for their application, and one of the best texture guns they have used over the years.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Ok, so I'll say first that this worked great and it was easy to put on a consistent pattern. I started by unpacking the box and reading the directions. The directions are very simple but there is helpful information in there, so I would recommend reading it. After reading the directions, I familiarized myself with the tool and decided to try the 3rd largest setting for knockdown (based on the directions recommendations). I then started mixing the Homax Wall and Ceiling Texture to a fairly thick but smooth pancake batter. I noted the thickness so that I could maintain consistency later (easier to match and get a consistent pattern).
Once I filled the hopper (which gets heavy full; recommend using the handle), I then attached the tool to the air hose and set the output on my compressor to 25psi. I then found that opening the air valve wide open was easiest and controlling the trigger worked best. I got a more consistent pattern from only squeezing the trigger slightly (lighter pattern). You can set the depth of the trigger, but I didn't bother as I could eyeball it pretty easy. When I pulled the trigger all the way, the pattern was very thick and did not give a good, consistent pattern. I started by practicing on some plain, scrap drywall sheets to test the pattern I liked best (the one I just described).
I then waited about 10 minutes and lightly knocked down the texture with a wide putty knife at about a 15 degree angle. Just a note: the lighter the texture you use, the faster it dries, so keep that in mind on a large room or wall and make sure you have enough time to let the mud set a little but not completely dry. I also wet the trowel/putty knife and removed any excess mud on the edges as I went.
Once I started on the kitchen, I made sure to use a dropcloth and prepped the areas by putting plastic to protect any overshot (there will be some). I worked horizontally like a paint sprayer from top to bottom. Towards the top, where the boxes meet the ceiling, it was more difficult to shoot as I had to shoot at an angle. The hopper, being so tall, left little room near the ceiling and the hopper had to be fairly full or else there wasn't enough gravity feeding the mud into the air tool. I could have reset the hopper with the 45 degree angle attachment, but there was little area near the ceiling and I was able to manage without it (as long as the hopper was fairly full).
Admittedly, the most time consuming part of doing this was the prep time in taping up plastic and then mixing the mud to the right consistency (and then cleaning up buckets and such). Shooting the mud and then cleaning the tool were a breeze. The tool easily disassembles so all parts can be cleaned well. I started by removing any extra mud from the hopper by pouring the excess mud into a plastic trash bag (tipped the hopper upside down and then scraped out the extra mud with a plastic putty knife). Once the excess was scraped out, I loosened the hose clamp and removed the hopper. I then tried to push out the remaining mud through the bottom with my hands and turned the air tool upside down to let any excess mud inside pour out.
After all excess mud was removed, I was able to remove the top of the hopper and place the bottom of the hopper into the drain hole (perfect fit and keeps it standing up). I then ran hot water through the hopper and removed all traces of mud (it looked unused when I was done). I then removed the 2 screw on retaining nuts and texture size wheel and washed those with hot water. I then ran hot water through the air tool, pulling the trigger to allow the water to flow throw the end of the tool. The whole process took me maybe 10 minutes total. Way easier than paint guns I've used before.
So, how does it look?
The knockdown turned out great and looked much better than the cans I've used before. Just a reminder to prep the drywall well by sanding smooth prior to applying the texture. Imperfections can still show through if you don't.
Additional comments:
I did not notice any plastic flexing on the connection between the hopper or the air gun. The plastic is thick and well-made. Also, the front and rear bushings inside the tool gun looked pretty thick and seemed to be of high quality and should last a while.
Additional tools used:
Homax (or other brand) Wall and Ceiling Texture
Wide putty knife or something to knock down the texture
Bucket(s) to mix mud
(Helpful) Mixing attachment for drill (I used a 1/2" corded drill for power and consistency)
Painter's plastic
Frog tape (sticks better to surfaces and comes off well)
Drop cloth
Hand sander (for knocking down any high spots or rough spots)
The 45 degree elbow adapter included with this gun is a life saver and I cannot imagine doing a ceiling without it. Without it, the ceiling would have taken much longer and no doubt resulted in spilling joint compound on myself at least once. The adapter allows you to keep the hopper upright but with the gun pointed almost straight up (about 15 degrees if straight up is zero degrees). This also allows you to put more mud/joint compound in the hopper.
I never used the lid that comes with the hopper since leaving it off allowed me to monitor the amount of mud left in the hopper. The gun is easy to use other than the trigger adjustment nut being a bit stiff to adjust. The whole thing cleans up very easy with a garden hose.
Some pointers that I learned on the way:
1. Do not buy any special topping compound. Use plain old joint compound.
2. Water the joint compound down to the consistency of cake batter/thick paint. Wait a few minutes, then check consistency again and add water as needed.
3. A 700 square foot garage with 12 foot ceiling took about 1 bucket and 1 box of joint compound (watered down). Only buy one bucket of compound and save three or four dollars by buying it in the box (premixed) after that and just dumping it in your now empty bucket.
4. Accept the reality that you will be covered in tiny mud droplets when you are finished. Wear a hat and clothes you don't care much about.
5. Joint compound washes completely out of clothing washed in hot water shortly after finishing.
6. Do not expect the coverage of texture to look like paint. The texture will not look right until after paint and/or primer is applied.
7. Cover absolutely everything you do not want mud on within about 20 feet.
8. Air pressure, tip size, mud consistency, and distance from the surface being textured all factor into the finish you will achieve. Practice on a cardboard box or other flat vertical surface.
9. This should be a no-brainer, but gravity will affect your texture application so start slowly on a ceiling until you know how the finish will look for a given distance from the ceiling.
10. At the settings I mentioned above, you can shoot texture straight up onto a ceiling from about 3-4 feet away with good coverage.
11. I textured bare wall board and then primed (PVA primer is cheap and worked well) and painted afterward and it looks great.
12. The heavier you apply the texture, the more unevenness and poor mudding it will hide. I applied a heavy orange peel and once painted, you cannot detect any of the mudding and taping under it.
13. You arms, mostly your shoulders, will be sore after a few hours of texturing.
14. Keep the gun moving whenever the trigger is pulled. Direction doesn't matter (up/down, left/right, circles) but if you don't you will get a goopy mess.
I would buy this sprayer again in a heartbeat and enthusiastically recommend it to anyone who is considering dropping several hundred dollars to have a professional do the job. Walls will cost you about $1.00/ sq ft and ceilings will cost you about $1.35/ sq ft if a pro does this job. If you already own a compressor, your only expenses are drop cloths and joint compound. Even if you buy a compressor to run the gun, you will still come out well ahead of paying someone.
I could not be happier with this sprayer. I have not been this satisfied with a tool's performance in a long time.
The only drawback to this over the big machines is that you are holding the weight of what you put in the hopper as you spray, so on big jobs your arms can get tired. A bit of exercise with something like dumbbells starting a week before you use it couldn't hurt if your arms are out of shape! Or just don't fill it full and fill it more often. But I liked filling it to the maximum and just "blowin and goin". FYI, I was using the Makita MAC5200 Big Bore 3.0 HP Air Compressor.
This was better than a 5 star experience.
