i just want to say, i tried to do texture for a 2.5" x 3.5" patch area all day after watching multiple how-to videos (including home depot), and they all turned out trash. i used your technique after one view and it came out perfectly. this is my first youtube comment ever, simply because your video was so helpful. subscribed, thanks for the super-clear tutorial.
Jane. Your DYI videos are excellent. You use simple tools that home owners are likely to have. The quality of the videography is good. The audio is clear. You strike a good balance on details in the explanations. I have learned a lot. Thank you.
I used this vid to fix a 2x4 foot section in my garage. Bought a 3 pound tub of drywall mud, thinned it down to batter, applied it thick and random with a putty knife, used a partially inflated plastic bag to pull up some high spots, let it dry till the mud wasn't shiny and then knocked it down just like Jane said. Perfect!! Tks Jane - you saved me some bucks!!
Excellent speaking for teaching-- the tone you're born with is nice, timing, cadence, clarity-- better than what I'm used to on youtube. I know nothing about home repair etc... but I do teach a few other things. From one coach to another, what would help a totally clueless beginner for this sort of thing is mentoring just a few more details on products. For example, when talking about the "hotdog roller", moving on to saying a "regular" roller should probably be illustrated with the regular roller or simply say "It'll look just like this but thicker" (or whatever). This may sound nitpicky to some, but remember; some of us have never bought anything like that and will have some anxiety knowing what to look/ask for. Even though this video is very good and you're obviously a good teacher, most non-professional teachers or somebody who decides to be your "instructor" are terrible teachers. They just don't have a enough empathy, and typically go too fast with vocabulary of the subject matter we rarely use, then we are left asking more and more questions and feeling like WE'RE the ones holding everyone up, when in fact the "teacher" provided that trouble. They're the ones who knew, they're the ones who are making us think we have enough information when we might not. That situation is everywhere for every subject, it's just that most people don't mind and blunder forward, causing lots of problems for everyone, the time, money and resources are wasted, then we wonder why the world needs so much fixing. It's in the repair of everything, the medical field, simply knowing where to go and how to order in a fast food joint you're visiting for the first time... but one of the best examples is having to switch between different computers and programs at work. That's where people teaching you can be so selfish, so vague and ridiculously lazy about other's needs... it's sickening. Back to the video.... Yes if you explain what the hotdog roller is, that implies you know we might need the explanation, so why not show the other style? Which brings me to... "Joint compound". What "joint compound"? What is it? What's it usually used for? Joints? What joints? When I go to the hardware store or wherever, will they point me to fifty different types of joint compound so I'll suddenly have a new question yet again, wondering if some are terrible, some good, or some are the wrong texture, thickness, etc... then wishing I didn't drive there and back with the wrong thing? Nothing's worse than making another trip just because a few more or different words could have been used. Happens ALL THE TIME with youtube instructors. "Some water added". It's fine if we're supposed to just know by appearance what consistency it will need to be, but can you demonstrate that? Why leave some stuff to just a couple words, yet demonstrate the rest? Remember, we might know NOTHING. Now I'll probably be okay with the way this video goes; I'll ask questions at the store, and I'll figure some of it out. However, if we're going to bother teaching at all, think about if the person is brand new to everything. After all, at one time, all of us were brand new to everything.
I agree with most of what you are saying. But here's the issue with going deeper into detail. First, not everyone that watches these videos are beginners, infact only 21% are, the rest have advanced or intermediate skills. So, it becomes difficult to teach to many skill levels at the same time. Secondly, viewers on TH-cam have a short attention span and if I were to add every detail of a project or process the videos would go well beyond the average viewers watch time. It simply all comes down to balance. Perhaps I could start a second channel called See Jane Drill Beginners.
Have to replace some drywall from water damage and realized I had no idea how to do this. I started to watch other videos and was rocking in the corner by the end of the first minute. Thanks for your video. Now I can fix my wall!
You rock Leah! Thanks for your knowledge, hard work and effort you put into these videos! They're extremely educational and helpful. I've learned a lot from you.
I want to thank you, I have been trying to match the knockdown on my ceiling from poor patchwork done by previous owners of my house and your videos taught me how to do it, I have not perfected it yet, I can’t do the major knockdowns but I can do the light knockdowns to make it blend in with the rest of the knockdown texture on my ceilings in the living room and kitchen, thank you hon, you took some stress away and with practice and more compound I will get better, thanks hon!
Omgosh Leah! This couldn't have come @ a better time. As a woman I'm empowering myself to do some of these totally doable carpentry projects. I learned y'day how to lay tile but I did have a loose knowledge alr. I really wna learn how to put a wall up or take one down, etc. But I sorta know my limitations. Someday maybe?! Just not this wk! Thanks for demo. Blessings, L
This is my favorite you tube channel. Im a single mom trying to update/remodel my home alone and on a tight budget. Your videos are so educational and helpful. absolute lifesaver!!!!!!!👍😁
You have no idea how thankful I am for this video and your talent. Years ago we had a house and my sons room had this texture in it. He painted it a very dark midnight blue high gloss of all things ( yes it was a bear ) but after it was finished, it reflected light so well , and looked as if the walls were wet and sparkling, we loved it. After we moved he has always wanted his walls like that again and I never knew how simple it could be ! I was told all sorts of outrageous costs in labor. I can't wait to show this to him! Thank you again, SO MUCH !
Thank you for the great tips! I did my first skip trial and the customer loved it. I was nervous as hell but they loved it so thank you again. Great tutorial!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow! Straight forward explanation and so much more technically substantive than so many other rambling videos about the same topic. Can’t wait to see what else is on your channel. Happy Holidays!
Fantastic! I just did this to my ceilings and it looks great. You saved me from thinking I need to get some expensive paint sprayer. All I bought was a nice knockdown paddle for $20. This sure does make a mess till you get the mix just right. The mud is heavy and will drip everywhere, so cover your floors and have a bucket and rags ready!
Great video Leah! Never tried it with a stipple brush before. I've always used a sponge to match knockdown texture on a wall repair or ceiling repair. Thanks for the video. Take care, -Paul
Jon Rasch No, you don't have to knock it down. If you roll your joint compound on the ceiling then use a brush and let it dry. That is called a stomp texture. They make a larger dual head brush that can be connected to a long handle to make the job much easier and faster. I hope this helps!
You're awesome! Every time that I'm in a blind and need info now, you and your videos are there. I'm truly in awe of the incredible amount of knowledge you have and how well you share it. Thank You!
You have great videos. I've watched them for months. You are straight to the point and knowledgeable. Thanks for the help. Your videos made me better in drywall and texture.
Thanks for this instruction! I’m skimming a kitchen hollow tile wall where the original builders didn’t behind the upper cabinets. Too much work to skim to smooth, so will tryy this technique on the whole wall. Thx!
Thank you for showing how to properly do a "knock down." I have watch two videos so far and... thank you for going over this simple (yet important) step.
After repairing a small drywall hole that has the knockdown texture this is exactly the video I needed to watch! Thank you for the attention to detail!
I prefer the "this is how to do it wrong" knock-down. I don't like quite as much texture as you demonstrate. But, now I understand the method and this totally helps, thank you!! 👍🏻
I've been looking for a solution to a less than stellar drywall job in my small bathroom. This is it! I believe doing this is enough to hide the imperfections that exist. If it's a painted wall do I need to do other preparations like sanding prior to applying the joint compound? Thanks for this video!!
smoothandchunky1 This isn't your answer but you'll need to use water resistant wallboard compound in a bathroom. Regular wallboard compound can be rehydrated and get soft again. It will grow mold. You don't want that in the bathroom.
smoothandchunky1 You'll still need to use waterproof compound. There is a way to seal it so it won't draw water with oil based paint. I'm not a big fan of using oil based paints. The water clean up paints are so much easier to use but they do introduce water into the wallboard compound. But it's your call.
Well I learned a lot and have done some practice walls before I do a couple walls on one of my rental cottages. One experience I had that I would like to share is what happens with a new stipple brush. I purchased one at Homer Depot and it left MANY long black fibers on my wall in the mud. I learned I needed to run a water hose over the brush while I spent five minutes grasping and pulling on the brush fibers so all the loose ones come off before you try to use it.
Definitely a big help. Glad I can find your videos so easily. Much love and respect to you and yours for the many life lessons you triggered within me from your genuine authenticity. Swear.. came to learn bout patchin holes in walls and left with an entirely new outlook on life. Thanks again and keep doing what you're doing, you're awewome!😄
Hi Leah, thank you for the great video. How long do you need to wait to dry before doing the knock down? And how do you just use regular joint compound for the texture? Thank you in advance..
Thank you Leah. You have helped me to texture like a pro! My husband told me this would be my new job now! Lol. You have also taught me to seal around the tub and I followed everything you said and it turned out great! Thanks for helping me succeed! :)
Love all her videos, she is so good at explaining it in a way that anyone can understand it. The 1st one I saw was the one about making a #Tic Stick" I was fascinated with not only the mechanics of it but with the whole concept" been binge watching ever since 😆...".She should write a book "Home Repair for Dummies with Jane". I'm home repair illiterate and after watching a couple of her videos on different skills, I have made a couple repairs and cosmetic touch ups that I never thought I could do.
Everytime i need help on something i keep finding myself on this channel. This channel is amazing😍👍👍thank you for the videos very helpful. My husband keep wondering why i know so much 😁
Thank you, Leah! That was the best video I've seen about this technique! I've got some repairs to make and have tried several different approaches. Yours makes the most sense and looks great! Now, we'll see how well mine turns out. :-)
How long did you let it dry? Seems really wet. Would it help if the compound dried a little more before knocking down? What would the advantage or disadvantage to letting it dry a little longer?
Great video! I just moved into a house with a knockdown texture and didn't even know it was called that (let alone how to apply it) until a few youtube searches. Next time I'll remember, go to "seejanedrill" first and see it done right the first time!
Your video is so informative, it builds me confidence that I too can do it. Question: Can I do this over an existing painted sand textured wall (which I never cared for too much) without first scraping or sanding it down? Thank you.
Leah. Thank you so much for doing this. Your channel is my favorite. I've used so many of your lessons. I love your style and your positivity! Thank you thank you
Hi Leah, thanks for the instructional videos. I am planning to roll on ceiling mud and apply a knockdown texture on my garage. This is a pretty large area, so how can I do this in sections while taking a couple of days?
thaks,good video.Always wanted to know how that was done. Love all your videos,even the ones I already knew the procedure.You explain things in a easy logical way.

For anyone still viewing this video, you should wait until the mud isn’t shining in the light before knocking it down. Pro tip 🤙🏼
I was literally going to ask exactly this. Thank you.
Some of us ARE still viewing and this IS a great tip-thank you!
Thank you
From the future! 😂
See, that's exactly what I was thinking, that'd you'd have a little more room for "error" if you let the mud tack up a little bit first
i just want to say, i tried to do texture for a 2.5" x 3.5" patch area all day after watching multiple how-to videos (including home depot), and they all turned out trash. i used your technique after one view and it came out perfectly. this is my first youtube comment ever, simply because your video was so helpful. subscribed, thanks for the super-clear tutorial.
I like were you said "You can do this!" at the end. I felt like you meant it. Thank you,
Did you try it? If so, did it work out?
You’re freaking awesome! I’ve damn near finished my kitchen because of your help. My wife couldn’t be any happier. Thanks 🙏
Jane. Your DYI videos are excellent. You use simple tools that home owners are likely to have. The quality of the videography is good. The audio is clear. You strike a good balance on details in the explanations. I have learned a lot. Thank you.

how long do you wait too knock down once you have the texture on the wall/ceiling or do you do it as soon as your done applying the texture?
i did it just a couple/few minutes afterwards and that seemed to work fine! Probably best to wait between 5 and 15 minutes so it's not too goopy.
Have to replace some drywall from water damage and realized I had no idea how to do this. I started to watch other videos and was rocking in the corner by the end of the first minute. Thanks for your video. Now I can fix my wall!
You rock Leah! Thanks for your knowledge, hard work and effort you put into these videos! They're extremely educational and helpful. I've learned a lot from you.

Wow! Straight forward explanation and so much more technically substantive than so many other rambling videos about the same topic. Can’t wait to see what else is on your channel. Happy Holidays!
Amazing demonstration! I’ve always used spray texture cause I never thought I was “good enough”. Now I’ve got this down to a T. Thank you!
Who’s still watching in 2024 great video ❤
I've watched many different people's videos and you BY FAR make it much easier to learn. Thank you very much
Great video. Clear, concise, no fluff, great demos. Subbed.
Nice video. How long after rolling the texture on do you wait to knock it down?
I enjoy your online segments. You are not only a skilled professional but an equally skilled instructor as well. Thank you.
Fantastic! I just did this to my ceilings and it looks great. You saved me from thinking I need to get some expensive paint sprayer. All I bought was a nice knockdown paddle for $20. This sure does make a mess till you get the mix just right. The mud is heavy and will drip everywhere, so cover your floors and have a bucket and rags ready!
Great video Leah! Never tried it with a stipple brush before. I've always used a sponge to match knockdown texture on a wall repair or ceiling repair. Thanks for the video. Take care, -Paul
Hi Paul, a sponge works well too! There are a lot of options. Thanks for writing!
sponch texture
quick question.
Do you have to knock it down? I kinda liked that texture from the rollar before you did the knock down
Jon Rasch No, you don't have to knock it down. If you roll your joint compound on the ceiling then use a brush and let it dry. That is called a stomp texture. They make a larger dual head brush that can be connected to a long handle to make the job much easier and faster. I hope this helps!
You're awesome! Every time that I'm in a blind and need info now, you and your videos are there. I'm truly in awe of the incredible amount of knowledge you have and how well you share it. Thank You!
Your page is so incredibly helpful. I'm grateful I found it. This video has improved my skills with drywall tenfold.
You have great videos. I've watched them for months. You are straight to the point and knowledgeable. Thanks for the help. Your videos made me better in drywall and texture.
I am so grateful to have discovered your page! You are a wonderful teacher! I'm going to give it a try! 😊😊😊 Ty
You are spot on with your explanations.
Don't waste my time over talking it.
Thank you.
This is a great video, thank you! Quick question how long should we wait before doing the knockdown?
Short and sweet. Very informative and easily explained, love it. Thank you
Your videos are awesome I wish my teachers in school taught and explained like you
Where were you several years ago when I was trying to figure this out? Keep up the good work. I learn something every time I look at your video.
thanks, Paul!
Thanks for this instruction! I’m skimming a kitchen hollow tile wall where the original builders didn’t behind the upper cabinets. Too much work to skim to smooth, so will tryy this technique on the whole wall. Thx!
Nice touch showing the wrong way to do it as well as the right way. Very helpful.
Thanks for all your content Leah. Every time I do a new type of project, your videos come right up and I’m good to go.
Thank you for showing how to properly do a "knock down." I have watch two videos so far and... thank you for going over this simple (yet important) step.
That is in no way the proper knock down texture technique! That is the "I think I know what I'm doing" home owner texture!
After repairing a small drywall hole that has the knockdown texture this is exactly the video I needed to watch! Thank you for the attention to detail!
Another great video, exactly what I needed to know. No matter how solid the work behind the walls are. The details is where it's at!
thanks, glad it was helpful!
Thank you Jill, great demo and video. I searched all around on internet for this application and technique...and you "knocked it outta the park" 😉😊👍
🙂👍
thanks for this video, finally someone who actually explains it and doesnt just show you a peice of drywall with finished texture
Thank you for helping. God/ Jesus bless you. I can do it !
Great video! Love the fact that you got straight to how you do this and didn't bore me with senseless talk talk talk. 👍
I prefer the "this is how to do it wrong" knock-down. I don't like quite as much texture as you demonstrate. But, now I understand the method and this totally helps, thank you!! 👍🏻
Great video on knock down installation! You even showed installation of my invention, EZ Ancor, in your lead-in. Thanks!!
The only video I watched and it actually made sense. I’m so happy I kept searching because I just told hubs to find a contractor just to do my texture
Ms. Jane, I can't thank you enough for this video. Thank you for sharing your talent. I'm actually doing this. 👍
Thank you SO MUCH for this! I need to repair a couple spots on my ceiling and now I don’t have to find someone to do it in my area!
I watched several knockdown videos and yours was by far the most helpful, as usual!
Thank you Leah! Another informative, and well explained video tutorial.
you're welcome, Anthony, and thanks for commenting!
This is by far the best video for a DIY'er. would we need to wait 24 or 48 hours before we paint the wall?
fantastic video. clear instructions stated straightforward
I've been looking for a solution to a less than stellar drywall job in my small bathroom. This is it! I believe doing this is enough to hide the imperfections that exist.
If it's a painted wall do I need to do other preparations like sanding prior to applying the joint compound?
Thanks for this video!!
smoothandchunky1 This isn't your answer but you'll need to use water resistant wallboard compound in a bathroom. Regular wallboard compound can be rehydrated and get soft again. It will grow mold. You don't want that in the bathroom.
Maxid1 thus bath is all green board. They just weren't the best mudder.
smoothandchunky1 You'll still need to use waterproof compound. There is a way to seal it so it won't draw water with oil based paint. I'm not a big fan of using oil based paints. The water clean up paints are so much easier to use but they do introduce water into the wallboard compound. But it's your call.
Well I learned a lot and have done some practice walls before I do a couple walls on one of my rental cottages. One experience I had that I would like to share is what happens with a new stipple brush. I purchased one at Homer Depot and it left MANY long black fibers on my wall in the mud. I learned I needed to run a water hose over the brush while I spent five minutes grasping and pulling on the brush fibers so all the loose ones come off before you try to use it.
Thanks for sharing your personal experience.
😬
Definitely a big help. Glad I can find your videos so easily. Much love and respect to you and yours for the many life lessons you triggered within me from your genuine authenticity. Swear.. came to learn bout patchin holes in walls and left with an entirely new outlook on life. Thanks again and keep doing what you're doing, you're awewome!😄
🙂
This was so AWESOME! Thanks so much! My wife are going to do this ourselves and save money.
What is the water/joint compound ratio you used for wall texture mixture?
I actually really like the look of just rolling on the compound 🙈😆 maybe I’ll just do that! Thank you for the ideas and instructions!! ❤️
Hi Leah, thank you for the great video. How long do you need to wait to dry before doing the knock down? And how do you just use regular joint compound for the texture? Thank you in advance..
GURLLLLLLL I just LOVE your videos. Each and every one. You’re such a good teacher. Never stop!
Show many videos just show you how to do it. I love that you explain each step in detail.
Thanks for your videos, really increased my ideas to finish the walls of my basement. Greeting from Canada
Hey thanks Jane. You've helped me out on a couple jobs now.
Thank you for the brief and very informative how-to. You rock!
Thank you Leah. You have helped me to texture like a pro! My husband told me this would be my new job now! Lol. You have also taught me to seal around the tub and I followed everything you said and it turned out great! Thanks for helping me succeed! :)
Bless you Leah. You really make me feel like I can do it!
Love all her videos, she is so good at explaining it in a way that anyone can understand it. The 1st one I saw was the one about making a #Tic Stick" I was fascinated with not only the mechanics of it but with the whole concept" been binge watching ever since 😆...".She should write a book "Home Repair for Dummies with Jane". I'm home repair illiterate and after watching a couple of her videos on different skills, I have made a couple repairs and cosmetic touch ups that I never thought I could do.
Thanks for the video! You just made my knockdown texture project for my garage wall easy without having to use a hopper. Thanks and you are awesome!
Very nicely done, focused on subject, short and sweet! Good job!
Everytime i need help on something i keep finding myself on this channel. This channel is amazing😍👍👍thank you for the videos very helpful. My husband keep wondering why i know so much 😁
😊
Just stumbled across your channel. I absolutely love it. Thank you for the amazing information.
Thank you, Leah! That was the best video I've seen about this technique! I've got some repairs to make and have tried several different approaches. Yours makes the most sense and looks great! Now, we'll see how well mine turns out. :-)
You can do this, just let Leah teach you. Thanks a million.
:)
I started watching your videos since you were explaining how to install baseboard. You're amazing. I love your videos 👌
This is the second time I've needed help with a project and found your advise very helpful. Thank you so much.
you're very welcome, glad to be of help.
How long did you let it dry? Seems really wet. Would it help if the compound dried a little more before knocking down? What would the advantage or disadvantage to letting it dry a little longer?
I love the way you do your videos . You explain things so easy to understand and I love your you can do it approach....Thank you
I have been trying to match that type of texture but couldn’t quite figure it out!!! Thank you soooo much!!! I can’t wait to give it a try.
Thank you for your video. I already did it with a plastic bag and look amazing. Your video is really informative
You saved me a lot of money and time.....thank you. My texture turned out great.
Wow! Thank you! I've watched 10 videos and this one finally helped
Beautiful information! I love how you said “your only limited by your imagination “ because there is no perfect way, its whatever you want!
You made this look sooo simple. Will be doing this tomorrow. Just finished a large patch in my ceiling for a skylight I had removed. Great video!
thanks, and good luck with your project!
Great video! I just moved into a house with a knockdown texture and didn't even know it was called that (let alone how to apply it) until a few youtube searches. Next time I'll remember, go to "seejanedrill" first and see it done right the first time!
Great vid Leah. Do you have to wait for the compound to solidify a bit or you can do it with the knife right away? Ty
Love the enthusiasm, keep up the good work and thanks for all the helpful tips 😊
Your video is so informative, it builds me confidence that I too can do it. Question: Can I do this over an existing painted sand textured wall (which I never cared for too much) without first scraping or sanding it down? Thank you.
Great, video thanks. How much time should it set before the knockdown?
Amazing help and very detail video. I would love to know the name of that brush and the compound that you used.
Leah. Thank you so much for doing this. Your channel is my favorite. I've used so many of your lessons. I love your style and your positivity! Thank you thank you
wow this is exactly what i needed, everyone else made it complicated. thank you!
Always informative videos. Thanks. Question: Can this Knockdown Texture be placed/rolled over popcorn ceilings? Thanks.
I like your voice for some reason. It's clear and very easy to understand
You know I can’t believe how easy you make this look. I’ve always wondered how you make this effect on walls
Hi Leah, thanks for the instructional videos. I am planning to roll on ceiling mud and apply a knockdown texture on my garage. This is a pretty large area, so how can I do this in sections while taking a couple of days?
You're awesome! Thanks for doing that. Best video on knockdown I've seen so far, and I've watched a few.
thaks,good video.Always wanted to know how that was done. Love all your videos,even the ones I already knew the procedure.You explain things in a easy logical way.
thanks, John!
Thank you, very helpful. Mine didn’t look bad at all with your instruction. A little spray water on the old joint compound loosened it up.
