@Paul peck drywalltube New to hanging drywall and textures. Question ??? Can you put paint or kilz in your mudding mixture for thinning it out to roll on the ceiling so you don't have to go back and paint it later. Thanks in advance
Your Video saved my Butt !! I had a tree go thru my roof and I had to replace about 75 sq. ft. of sheetrock. Sadly no insurance so this was all on my dime, im a welder and not savvy with house projects, well lets just say I had to learn. Everything turned out great, I really appreciate this video, same texture as my house and I figured it out with your help and this sponge. I sincerely Thank You ...
I ordered the sponge and Lexan tool to drag the knock down texture and used your techniques and it worked like a charm. I have been doing renovations for a long time but have never been real good at matching texture till now. This idea works great for small repairs where you don’t want to skim coat the entire area and retexture
Thank you Papa Joe! I'm telling ya... For small knockdown texture repairs the knockdown texture sponge can blend the texture into the existing so much better than a hopper or texture rig. I've always got my knockdown texture orange peel texture sponges in my drywall repair bag for sure! Thanks for stopping by, -Paul
Thank you for this very helpful video. I'm definitely going to try this method. I hate textured walls. They're such a pain to re-texture. After our bathroom renovation, we filled and smoothed the walls using joint compound. The smooth walls look awesome! I wish I could remove the texture from all the walls in the house but that would be too labor-intensive. Your method of repair is much appreciated.
Hello @Paul Peck DrywallTube... Another amazing video. I love the way you get in there and show us how to do the whole thing. That looks great! Your work is fantastic!!!
Thanks Paul! Have used this a few times in the past year. We do decorative wall finishes and sometimes our job is held up waiting on a small repair. I knocked them out so we could get started, my wife already had a sponge in her faux finish arsenal. Thanks for the tips over the years.
That’s awesome Mike!💥👊🏻 It’s great technique for matching knockdown texture on small wall and ceiling repairs for sure! I really appreciate your feedback man. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!😎 -Paul
Man, I am a DIY everything guy. i have fiddle around with different methods of applying repair knockdown, but I will say….. you are the man! That is the absolute cleanest application of repair knockdown I have seen to date. Homax and their overpriced rattle can spray texture will never again be in my hands again! I truly wanna thank you for your video. Oh, you know I subscribed to your channel, can’t wait to see your other videos when time affords me.
Thanks to for making this video and to everyone for the comments. I’ve got a few holes to patch up in my home. Been putting it off because of the “ texture challenge “. Gotta get me that sponge.
Nice video. Having done a LOT of repairs working in apartment maintenance, trying to match texture was one of the hardest things to do. I found that matching a knock down that was previous painted with several coats required a light wipe down after the knock down with a damp cloth when the repair was almost completely dry. This took the hard edges off and matched the older painted texture better. Also I found that the canned texture didnt match any texture very well. I found that using a texture gun would do a MUCH better job applying mud to use in matching any texture.
I'm glad I saw this, we bought this house that clearly has a do-it-yourself knock down attempt, looks like some tiny pieces of pasta was thrown at the ceiling and walls. Now I see I can do this and fix it. Thank you!!!
Wow you ansered. I am retired painter by profession but do alot of remolading. People found out what I know and brought me out of retirement to flip houses. Great fun and keeps me in shape at 59. Thank you for your support.
That's awesome Lee! Sounds like you're loving every minute of it too.👍 Flips are nice cause you're always doing something different. Thanks for stopping back by! -Paul
Looks great!!! Just what I needed. I tore out and replaced my bathroom vanity. Now I need to repair the walls before I paint and install the backsplash. This video seems to be the lifesaver I was looking for. Thanks Paul!!
That's great Yousir! I'm glad my knockdown texture sponge video could help you out on your bathroom remodel. Let me know if you run into any questions along the way. -Paul
Thank man I knew I was doing something wrong I do maintenance for a hotel I've been doing drywall 4 a long time but never dealt with knock down my repairs have gotten better over time but still not happy with the results now that I know how to do it the right way I'm looking 4word to c how it comes out i was doing my texture and then sanding or taking a wet rag to try to take the tops off but makes a lot more sense now that I c how it's done the correct way thanks again it really is an art
This is the technique I've been looking for...all the dry wall guys around here have tried to keep this particular technique a secret. Big Thanks My friend.
Great video series! I have a problem with my rosebud knockdown ceiling. I have several seam cracks across my living room ceiling. Have you done a video on this type of repair?
I must admit that if I ever got out of trucking. This type of work is something I'd be interested in learning. And of course not charge so cheap like others do. It just ruins the market. Any advice where to begin other than videos and looking for a job in this field without experience? Thank you. Great videos by the way mi amigo. Mucho Bueno. 😂😂
What's up my friend I just want to say what an awesome video I no you help alot of people with these videos I really appreciate your comment and support on my live stream tonight I will foreshore spread your awesome channel out into the community thanks have a great night my friend!!!
+A P Yeah that's my 24" acrylic knockdown paddle. Makes knockdown texture super fast and easy. You can even put it on extension pole if you're spraying knockdown texture on ceilings. More information here: www.amazon.com/shop/paulpeck Take care, -Paul
Nice job I have been using this system for many years you make it look very easy though. Lot less mess then a hopper for repair that is my favorite part less clean up !
That’s awesome man!💥👊🏻 The knockdown sponge is a real timesaver for sure. And yeah pretty much zero clean up. I like that part a lot too. Thanks so much for watching and subscribing my friend!🙏 -Paul
My son just bought a house and it’s in desperate need of updating. Popcorn ceilings, panel walls in the bathroom. I think we’re gonna skim the bathroom over all the glue swirls and scrape off popcorn in house and replace with knockdown. Love your videos! Wouldn’t attempt without this instruction! After testing popcorn ceiling and scraping it off, should I skim coat? Thank you
Good video i have a small area repair due to a leak in attic, that huge plastic scrapper can i use something similar, because more than likely will never use it again.
Hi Paul. Great video. I'm always so grateful for those who share their expertise on TH-cam--thanks for that. I've had some success duplicating my home's texture, but I always get hung up on the border of the patch, where the tape joint meets the painted wall. I always seem to get a smooth, flat or otherwise mismatched transition. Any suggestions?
Appreciate that Eric! I'm glad TH-cam provides this platform for all to share all kinds of great information. As far as the texture being a little light a the corners. To get a more consistent texture in the ceilings corners.Try using some blue painters tape and 12"-16" masking paper on the wall. That way you won't have to worry about getting texture on the walls. Hope that helps, -Paul
+Monika S i'm glad your ceiling patch turned out OK. Trying to match knockdown texture can be difficult. But with the right tools and technique it can be a fast and easy. Thanks so much for watching! -Paul
Wow been a painter for 18yrs+ I wish my dad was alive to see how you did this repair we always used a hopper to remake the down texture what a quick repair and easier and cleaner this is
Great vid. What kind of mud are you using? Every time I do knockdown repair there is always a shade difference between my new knockdown and the original. I have tried everything from whipping premix joint compound with water, to hot mud to premixed with hot mud. What’s the trick to color match and not have to paint the whole ceiling?
Greetings ! great demo, but will like to encourage to add a list on things need, just like a cooking recipe. No one tells you what to get, that will make your video the best. Don't know any thing about, but financially stressed I must try. will let you know what happens! yikes! I guess will be pre mixed "mud" or joint compound? and a knockout tool? sponge? On my way to Lowes!!!! Thanks, Carmen
Paul, I am renovating my husbands inherited home. Let"s just say his master degree brothers convinced them to by a home for $90.000 and when I started tearing down walls and cabinets, found out that it was originally a 4 room coal miner shack! They had rebuilt around it in 1950! The only way I knew that it was a older home was because of the bathroom. I had to go all the way down to the floor joists to put in a new floor. To my surprise, the floor was laid not straight but diagonally! I was raised in Quincy, Illinois where there are lots of homes that predate 1930! So, I knew then that my husband had been taken for a ride by his own family! IMAGINE! Here is my question: I had a guy patch up some drywall holes, that I thought I couldn"t do. He supposedly does this for a living. I have done everything to a house from roofing,painting, wall papering, even re-done hardwood floors! the patch he put on my living room ceiling has so many mud grooves , that I know its going to cause a damn mess! What can I do to take out the grooves and then do the job myself! I have been waiting on him for 4 weeks to come and finish the job! I believe I have given him his time due!!!! I have scraped the popcorn off all the ceilings,and painted the rooms , plus ship-Lapped a wall, so I think I can repair sheet rock! Can you help me, PLEASE!!!!
No. You need big openings in the sponge to do this. If you can’t find one I suggest that you buy what is called a “sea sponge” and get yourself a large drillbit and bore out Large holes in that sponge.
I had a small stint in construction Thank you for sharing. I watched the video in full and subscribed to your channel and hit the like button and notification bell have a BLESSED day.
Thank you Becky! As far as your question on how thick the knockdown texture should be? That all depends the texture you're trying to match. Typically when I use the sponge to match knockdown texture, I just add a tiny bit of water to make the joint compound nice and creamy. Then you can adjust how thick the knockdown looks by how long you wait to knock it down after it's been applied by the sponge. The sooner you knock it down the thinner and more flattened out the texture will look. The longer you wait, the thicker the texture will be. I recommend do a practice area either on a scrap piece of drywall, cardboard or in an inconspicuous area of the room like a closet or something like that. Hope that helps. Good luck with your drywall repairs and texture matching projects. Let me know if you have anymore question along the way, -Paul
Thank you so much for watching Rafi!👍🏻 Here's few more of my knockdown texture matching videos: th-cam.com/play/PL7Ww-LhWbB0FqP0HaAYu7t2INanPJ7Rrn.html Take care, -Paul
Cool vid i..now I see how it’s done ...I’m having my ceiling worked on cause it was started to look uneven ..had my handy man out beams to raise it up ..so he cut through the drywall and will put back that texture ..greetings from California
Hi there Paul, is it possible to do the entire process twice... Add joint compound, texture and knock down a second time? I noticed after I was done that I didn't apply enough compound and can still see some of the patch work. :/
Hi Danilda, yes you can do a second round of texture with the sponge.👍🏻 Maybe just try and add only as much as need then lightly go over the entire repair. I hope this helps. Let me know if you run into any questions along the way. Thanks so much for watching and subscribing! -Paul

Paul Peck Are you just using drywall mud in your pan?
Well done. I can tape rock with the best of them on a smooth surface but never worked with knockdown. Good instructions on how to deal with it.
@Paul peck drywalltube
New to hanging drywall and textures. Question ??? Can you put paint or kilz in your mudding mixture for thinning it out to roll on the ceiling so you don't have to go back and paint it later.
Thanks in advance

NEW FRIEND HERE, Came over from beer man's channel. Nice channel I love DIY work. 💗
Was this ceiling painted? My ceilings are plaster over chicken wire and concrete substance. House was built in the forties!!! I have some cracks too.
Cool vid i..now I see how it’s done ...I’m having my ceiling worked on cause it was started to look uneven ..had my handy man out beams to raise it up ..so he cut through the drywall and will put back that texture ..greetings from California
Cool Vladimir!😎 Sounds like a good plan! Thanks so much for watching and subscribing my friend! -Paul

Hi there Paul, is it possible to do the entire process twice... Add joint compound, texture and knock down a second time? I noticed after I was done that I didn't apply enough compound and can still see some of the patch work. :/
Hi Danilda, yes you can do a second round of texture with the sponge.👍🏻 Maybe just try and add only as much as need then lightly go over the entire repair. I hope this helps. Let me know if you run into any questions along the way. Thanks so much for watching and subscribing! -Paul
Ok, I'll give it a try. Thank you so much Paul, I appreciate it very much. Thank you for sharing you skills and gifts.
Thank you for a great presentation.

Can you do knock-down texture ovef a "prickly" wall texture? How was built in the 70's and has a horrible bumpy, prickly 🤷🏼♀️ texture.
Perfect! Made it look easy and will try that method. I appreciate it thank you!
