I have asked at lowes, home depot, and painters I know and no one could tell me how to fix it. I kept saying there is no way in hell I can ever match it if I punch a hole in the wall. I started doing this with thinned out d.w.c. and a 3 inch knife. Working on patches I could get to, since emptying a room we all live in was not practicle. With this technique I can most likely get a room done in a day and sanded, ready to paint in a weekend.

Paul, I was watching a video where someone was using a hopper gun and I remembered something from 15 or 20 years ago. A contractor added paint to drywall compound. It was a slight gloss off white paint. The ceiling was already painted a light blue. The contractor then used a knock down knife on the texture. The two colors made an interesting ceiling. Just a idea for business.

Thank you for posting this. It helped a lot. For the ceilings I found using a wide wallpaper brush worked well to apply in 3' by 3' sections from a plastic dish pan, then skimming before moving the ladder. The results are very favorable. With practice you get a feel for the blade. As a novice it would be hard to apply directly from the blade so getting it up there in the right consistency for what you need to fill is important. In one area I used a wide chisel to scrape off some very hard painted old texture so there wasn't so much to fill. Other tools were not sturdy enough.

Yes!!! This method looks much more simple and attainable. I've got horribly textured walls that I want to try to fix myself... lol. Wish me luck! I'll be using this method.

Hi Paul, I appreciate your knowledge and the videos you are sharing and I want to say thank you. I am working on rehabbing the kitchen of my house that belonged to my late grandparents. They had blue plastic tile on the walls. I have used your skim coating and it works awesome. When I removed the tiles from the interior wall the adhesive was dry, dark and hard. As I got to the wall near the stove, which is exterior wall, the adhesive was light colored, flexible, and I am able to peel parts off the wall. I have scraped the wall to get the most of the flexible adhesive off the wall that was loose. I am wondering why the adhesive is flexible after being on the wall since the 70's or earlier and is there anything I need to do to the wall/ adhesive before using the skim coating technique. My concern is if I skim coat the wall and put up 18" square tile backslash around stove area will the dry wall encapsulate the adhesive or will it pull away from the wall and ruin tile. Thank you in advance sir.

Would we be able to do something like this in a bathroom? As long as we paint over it with a bathroom paint?

Looks like he’s using ready mixed drywall compound (mud) . He should have at least hour before it would set up - maybe longer. So while still some wet in it he is dragging knife thru it. He’s pretty good with the knife and not leaving lines. If you leave a few lines I guess just do a bit of circular sanding and brush wall down (once mud dry) with damp cloth before painting (obviously leaving time for mud to dry - probably about a day or more ? Paul).

@codymoore1223

No. It is not necessary to sand before applying skim coat. Also he should tell you that it takes more than one coat. This will shrink back exposing the deeper pockets in the previous texture. Also after the next couple coats of compound the mud will have small bubbles from air escaping. Always a pain on paint!!!!

I appreciate your professional video as well as your company name on your shirts.I'm in the restoration business here in Port St Lucie and handle and write estimates for water damage losses and submit to insurance companies. Anytime a drywall patch is needed or if walls are damaged or in need of texture in anyway I always list on the estimate to skim coat the walls, that way customers can not see the seams from a drywall patch etc, insurance companies gladly pay for the extra quality work.Before and after pictures sent to adjustors also help. Thanks Guys

Thank you Bob! Yes I think having company shirts is a very important part of being professional. It also helps identify what company you're from on larger renovation projects. Agreed on the skim coat on entire wall when it comes to matching texture. Whenever I give an estimate on water damaged drywall repairs, I always give two options. #1 Repair drywall and skim coat the damaged wall or ceiling corner to corner to get a perfect texture match. #2 Repair damaged wall or ceiling and match the existing texture as best as possible. (with the disclaimer **I'm very good at matching texture,. But if you want it to be perfect the area will need to be skim coated and completely re-textured to get a seamless and unnoticeable repair). Appreciate your compliments Bob! Sounds like you're very good at what you do. Take care, -Paul

Rather than all that sanding, you might try this. Spray, then wait about 1/2 hour or so. Take a trowel and lightly smooth it out. You will probably need a trigger sprayer bottle of water and mist it before you trowel. If it is not smooth enough, mist again and go over it with the trowel as many times as you need. It will save a lot of sanding later. If you trowel it once or twice, it will give the appearance of an old plaster wall. I have used this on plaster walls, and people can not tell where I have patched.

Hi Lisa, The first skim coat probably needs about 8 to 12 hours to dry. What type of texture will you be going over? And is it a painted surface?

My god! I have skimmed 1000s upon 1000s of sq feet of wall using this method! Only suggestion I have is, the thinner you apply the smoother your wall will look!

Really enjoyed watching this.now I need to go paint the kids room.

Hey, Paul! Great videos! We have old plaster walls (with wire mesh lath, not wood) from which we removed tile. In addition to a few holes that need patching, there is still yellow-brown mastic dried onto the walls (and a little paper backing from the tiles). I've started to remove the mastic (heat/scraping--it's not water soluble), but it's VERY slow going and messy. Could I use your method right on top of the mastic once I repair the holes/knock off loose bits? The contractor who removed the tiles walked out on us and other contractors seem uninterested in taking over with the walls in their current condition. We will tile over one portion of the wall (kitchen backsplash over stove and maybe sink), but planned to smooth/paint the rest of it. Please advise if that changes your recommendation.

The surf is rolling in and the sun is shining and you are stuck in there putting mud on the walls. Where is the justice?

Hi Paul, thank you for your video!! I appreciate you answering so many questions. I just bought my first home today and want to try this. I've seen you mention sanding afterwards -what do you recommend using to sand after the two coats of joint compound? Do you use a sanding machine or just sanding block? Thank you!!

I don't have roller but I have a cat. Would that work?

I am going to give this a try. Thanks.

can't i just sand the walls (texture) down?? sorry, probably a stupid question i know. long story short, i just bought & renovated a home and my not so awesome contractor let the plaster guys skip trowel my laundry room walls. the texture is hideous!!! i want smooth...the plastering was very recently done. hence my question...i thought maybe i could just sand it all down to get it at least somewhat smooth. anything would be better than whats there now.

Jenn, Yes you could sand them. But it will take a lot of elbow grease. Especially if the walls were painted. If the skip trowel texture on the walls wasn't painted? You could just take a wet sponge and go over a small section at a time and scrape it off once the water loosens the texture up. Let me know you have any more questions. Take care, -Paul

As a taper Im always "too busy" when asked to price a job that requires this type of skim coating. Not worth ruining my shoulders. I stick to new stuff I can run the mechanical tools on. Or simple repairs.

So clever! Could have used that knowledge a decade ago when removing wallpaper that original builder/owner had applied (1980s) to unprimed, unpainted wallpaper. Took a long time just to remove that old wallpaper, then spackling to repair where the wallpaper tore off chunks of drywall, not just the paper surface. Oh, scraper gouges. Paper cutting tool holes, nail holes, etc. Then sanding. Etc etc etc. This will be useful for kitchen.

Hi Paul..Great video, really appreciate the knowledge. Any tips on mixing the joint compound and how much to use? I'm attempting the skim coat project on a 13x13 bedroom. Also, is the 45 minute joint compound sufficient?

Thanks for the advice going to try this out tomorrow on a whole house job In doing...

Paul: what is your opinion on a wall with paper that’s not torn or pulling off and rolling a sealer/primer then rolling on mud and skim coating the wall? Thanks for any direction and for your videos. I sometimes do light drywall repairs and a few of your handy techniques were helpful.

Hi Paul, many thanks for sharing your expertise and insights. Following up on an earlier commenter, I'm curious to know more about the process for spraying the mud in lieu of rolling. I have really heavy texture -- and by heavy, it's actually ceiling-style popcorn, not knocked down -- on the walls and would appreciate some guidance: (1) given that the texture is really heavy, is it even worth it to spray or should I start with a non-thinned out (or lightly thinned out) rolled-on base coat; (2) if I were to spray on the mud do I have to thin it out -- and, if so, what's a good ratio of water to a 5 gallon bucket of green top; (3) do you have any upcoming videos that might show the spray on process? Cheers!

If I could add a suggestion for these tutorials. Watching you guys trowel the mud on the wall board is fine. What would really help me is explaining the wall board compound you selected and why. Which mud to use for the application. Skim, settlement, hole in the wall, corners repairs, new install, etc. The troweling part is a learned skillset. Hopefully the more you do it the better. Selecting the right type of mud I would think is the majority of a good and lasting job. Watching you guys trowel is wash, rinse, repeat.

Thanks for sharing this information. Definitely a nice finish. Lay people may error while removing the excess compound. We errored by applying to much pressure on the trowel. We did an ok job. It was a garage wall 😁 Definitely hire a professional for interior walls of your house 😎 Thanks again for sharing this video.

Beautiful work

Thank you so much for watching and commenting Chris! 👍

In another video you did, using the same method, you mentioned using a 3/4" roller. In this you used a 1 1/4" roller. So, will either of those sizes work? Is one better than the other? Also, between coats, do you smooth out any pops and high points before doing the next coat? Thanks for the video.

Thats one fine looking wall! doesnt even need sandening anymore!

Thank you for showing this.

Hello and thank you for your video. I’m about to take the leap and start with my powder room... first timer. I’ve watched the video several times and feel confident, however I am unsure about the dust from the sand. How to I do this without it going through the house and my skin. I have allergies and skin sensitivities. I do I have a shop vac to clean and I thought of connecting it to my rotary sander, but . I was told to save rotary sander for the pros. Any advise would be helpful. My powder room is empty and I’m ready to go

Great job and skill with knife

Hello! If I'm doing this in the bathroom where there's high gloss paint, do I need to sand down the wall first before adding the mud so it sticks? Thanks!!

Can u do the same procedure when smoothing ceilings?
