            Can this be used in a Wagner texture sprayer? It requires unaggregated or thinned joint compound for the knockdown effect. I have some of this left from another job and would love to be able to use it.

                How much lite blue would I need to drywall a 143 sq ft area
                ByApr 10, 2023

                Answer This Question

                That would depend on your specific application. Are there only wall seams? What size drywall are you using? Do you have ceiling joints? How many corners? Is this a skim coat?

                By|Apr 13, 2023

                  You will need about 2 gallons.

                        Great product. Convenient to use after transferring to large bucket to allow for adding water as needed during the taping process. PS: I am an absolute klutz at taping but my garage needed something to cover up the builders shortcuts. House built in 1987 but the sheetrock was never taped?? But I think it will look far better when done thanks to this product.

                        Works well. Stays moist and smooth. Only drawback is the smell.
