• This texture gun is a precision tool designed to give
texture to walls and ceilings. Manufactured to offer
long-term use with minimum maintenance. To give texture
to your space you need only the texture gun, an air
compressor and texturizing material.
• Use the tool correctly following this manual to assure
your texture gun performs well and is profitable. Do not
neglect oiling and cleaning it thoroughly after each use.
Air Compressor
• Use a compressor that works with 40 PSI and 90 PSI.
• If the compressor is adjusted to deliver low pressure, the
texture gun will apply a thicker texture. If adjusted for high
pressure, the texture will be finer.
• Air supply shall be uniform or the texture patter will be
deficient.
• Test the mix using panels made of plaster, plywood or
cardboard.
• The desired texture will depend upon the last adjustments
to the plaster machine (trigger run).
• The following table shows the basic parameters to prepare
the type of spray.

Spraying Nozzles
• Use smaller nozzles to get fine textures and larger nozzles
to get thicker textures. Always use a tip for large spray when
applying acoustic material.

Setting Up
Materials
• There are plenty manufacturers of texturizing materials.
It is important to follow the manufacturer instructions
when preparing the materials. The texture gun can apply
practically, any texturizing material that can be fed and
atomized through gravity.
• When using all-purpose sealing compound or light finish
compound, dilute material with approximately 1/3 gallon
water per each gallon of material. After mixing the texture
material it shall get a thick paint or diluted paste thickness.
• Verify the manufacturer instructions if there is
compatibility contraindication between the material and
the aluminum guns.
• Never operate the texture gun with a dry or too pasty
mix. It damages the machine.
• If the paste turns pasty, add more water to get a more
liquid consistency.
• To increase the useful life of the plastering machine, DO
NOT leave the mix inside the machine or the hopper for
long periods of time. Clean thoroughly with water after
each use.
• Do not fill the hopper with more than 2 gallons of mix.
Otherwise it may spill out and cause an accident.
