Instructions:
Homax Knockdown Texture is specially formulated to match knockdown-type interior drywall textures. Texture pattern will blend seamlessly with existing pattern.
Protect surrounding area from overspray.
DO NOT SPRAY ON CLOTHING, FURNITURE OR CARPET. VENTILATE AREA WELL.
• Use warm water for clean up.
• Sprays best at room temperature.
• If pressure is too low, place can in warm water, if pressure is too high, place in can in cold water.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE: MAKE ANY NECESSARY WALL REPAIRS BEFORE APPLYING. FOR BEST RESULTS, PRIME / SEAL AREA BEFORE AND AFTER APPLYING TEXTURE.
Cover surrounding items to protect from overspray.
- Shake can vigorously for one minute.
- Twist off safety tab from nozzle.
- Pointing away from face, turn dial
• CLOCKWISE for SMALL KNOCKDOWN
- If small pattern seems to heavy, rotate dial back and forth multiple times, then back to small setting.
• STRAIGHT UP for MEDIUM KNOCKDOWN
• COUNTERCLOCKWISE for HEAVY KNOCKDOWN
See recommended distance for spraying on chart below. - Always practice spraying on cardboard or scrap drywall to determine preferred pattern. Spray using a circular motion. For a heavier knockdown pattern, build texture up slightly.
- Texture can be scraped off and reapplied when still wet until desired pattern is achieved.Allow texture to dry 1-2 minutes before lightly knocking down or flattening using a 6-8" wet drywall knife. For best results, hold knife almost parallel to the wall.
- After use, clear nozzle by turning can upside down and spraying until texture is cleared.
DRY TIME: Allow to dry 2-5 hours before painting (depending on heaviness of pattern).
