GeNerAl SprAYING tIpS
•
The sprayer can feel heavy when full of spraying material. It is recommended
that your free hand be placed at the rear of the hopper for increased support
during usage (see # 1).
•
Swivel hopper forward when spraying a ceiling; swivel hopper toward the rear
when spraying a wall (see # 2).
•
When spraying, try to keep the nozzle no farther than 2 feet away. When doing
ceilings keep the sprayer between a 45º-65º angle to the spraying surface (see
# 3). You can adjust the spraying angle, nozzle size, and vary trigger activation
to achieve desired results.
•
If spraying a large surface, use broad, sweeping, side-to-side strokes with
continuous trigger activation for optimal coverage. It is recommended that
the surface be sprayed in slightly overlapping, 3' x 3' sections. Spray each
section in one direction, then spray at a perpendicular angle to complete the
section.
•
The thickness of the spray material can be adjusted by adding small amounts
of water or material.
•
Texture spraying creates a great deal of dust and overspray material. It is
recommended that you adequately cover anything you do not want sprayed
with drop cloths (walls, windows, floors, furniture) and remove as many non-
essential items from the room as possible.
•
The spray pattern can be adjusted by switching to a different nozzle. Before
removing/changing nozzles, always turn the sprayer OFF (O) and unplug the
power cord.
•
When repairing a small area, it is a good idea to scrape away any damaged
material that may be around the affected area. Spray an area slightly larger
than the affected area to create a uniform look. Generally, when repairing a
small area, the small nozzle should be used, and the trigger should be activated using light, intermittent pressure.
•
All new surfaces should be covered with primer prior to texture spraying.
•
Knockdown and orange-peel materials may need to be painted after application to create a final uniform color.
Refer to the charts for assistance with all the variables involved in texture spraying. Texture spraying is not an exact
i
science, and the variables below may need to be adjusted to meet your particular texture spraying needs.

* When using knockdown, let material dry for 10-15 minutes after application. Use a soft squeegee to "knock down" the material.
Do not wait more than 30 minutes after application to knock down the material.
