      Can this be used on a primed cinder block wall? Or is it dry wall only?

      Ask your Home Depot specialist or called the manufacturer thank you very much have a great evening God bless stay safe

      This product is for drywall only.

      By|Oct 6, 2020

        Use the oil based product only for this purpose and make sure you use an oil based primer.

        By|May 15, 2024

          I would not use it on cinder. But I’m sure it might work. You would have to read the applications that it can used for on the can. On Drywall it works great

          By|Nov 9, 2022

            To answer the question yes it can be used on both if the can works properly.

              make sure you follow the instructions, turn upside down and shake vigorously for 1 - 2 minutes.

                  Shake the heck out of them. Turn them upside down and shake in an up and down motion like your life depends on it for 2 or 3 minutes.

                    You can try to warm the can up a bit, or, you can just return them and write to Homax to inform them that their product is greatly defective. this is very common and inexcusable. There is generally nothing you can do.

                        I used to have the same problem. Soak the texture spray can in a bucket of warm water for a few minutes. Shake and repeat until the material in the can has reached room temperature. The gas in the can will expand while creating way more pressure.

                        By|Apr 25, 2025

                          If you pull the trigger out, there is an adjustment that can be made to increase/decrease the amount of pressure. Its is connected to the lever which controls heavy to fine spray pattern, but can be adjusted much more widely from behind the trigger.

                            If so, do you have to seal the wallpaper with anything or would it be better to remove the paper?

                            I bought a house with borders painted -- they had smoothed the border edge into the painted wall with joint compound. Not a great idea, but it worked. OTOH, I would recommend removing the border; it's not hard. So if painting a border would be successful, I figure that texturing a wall topped by a border could be done, too. You might still end up after texturing and painting with a noticeable line at the bottom of the border.

                            By|Jun 26, 2019

                              I recommend taking the wallpaper off. Overtime the adhesive of the wallpaper will come off. It will start to crack your texture and you will have a much larger and expensive issues than you cut have.

                              By|Jan 10, 2021

                              For best results, remove the wallpaper before texturing because the wallpaper glue will fail over time taking the texture with it.

                              By|May 3, 2023

                                No, you would have to remove the wallpaper.

                                    Allow 30 minutes to dry before paining. Thick texture or high humidity and low temperature will lengthen the dry time.

                                      The color will have changed from beige to white when it has completely dried.

                                        Usually an hour or two to dry fully enough for paint. However, you can speed up the drying process by using a blowing unit directed on the applied area. A heated blower is even better. if the area is larger and has more moisture, it can take longer.

                                        By|Feb 5, 2019

                                          The can said about an hour, but I still had wet spots 12 hours later. There's 70% humidity right now.

                                          By|Mar 25, 2017

                                            Eddy, The product dries pretty fast. You can tell because of the color of the textured area will go from a dark pinkish white when wet, to all white when dry. I must warn you though, that the dry time will be dependent on the humidity level inside the building and in the area that you are trying to repair. The more humid it is, the faster it will take to dry. I would not recommend trying to force dry it with any type of heating gun, or blow dryer as it make cause the texture to crack. When I applied it, mine was dry within 8 hours, but I let it set overnight just to be sure. What I would suggest is that you apply it at night, right before you settle down for the night, and then let it dry while you sleep, and then paint in the AM if it is dry. You also didn't say how much of an area you had to do. DO NOT use a heavy hand with the trowel when knocking this down. Get the trowel as close to parallel with the wall as you can and let it just skim over the texture without putting pressure. Make sure you wait before knocking down. Do not spray and immediately knock down or all you will do is make flat mud, and you don't want that.

                                            For Light coverage I used 3 cans for 168 sq feet. Pretty much on track to the can description

                                            By|May 5, 2023

                                              For a light coverage, about a 100 sq ft

                                              By|Oct 12, 2018

                                                It will depend on your application as to how light or heavy you want to go with the pattern. I would say an average would be an area of a 4x8 sheet of plywood, which is 32 square feet. The heavier a pattern you use the smaller the area of coverage will be. Make sure you read the instructions, shake, shake, shake, and when you think you have shaken enough, shake a little more, and work in small areas. One to two minutes drying before knockdown, depending on the humidity in your work area. You will be able to tell as you work and make adjustments accordingly. Please read the review and the pictures I submitted on the job I did to help you.

                                                    Yes it can. Do your tape and mud as required, sand, and when ready, spray over it and knockdown. You'll be fine.

                                                    I wouldn't use this product for ANYTHING. It spits out in a popcorn pattern and won't knockdown without huge bumps. It is a horrible and overpriced product.

                                                    By|May 3, 2023

                                                    Absolutely. It is easy to control, apply and knock down. U se light setting and double cover if necessary.

                                                    Yes. I recommend sanding the area down first before applying the texture.

                                                                Works fantastic, must know what you are doing
                                                                Works great, I imagine the reviews that are negative are not too experienced with drywall texturing. It is not as easy as a good hopper gun, but with a little practice you can easily emulate most knockdowns. The largest knockdowns are even possible but it is messy getting the globs on the wall. I also keep this in the bed of my truck even in the heat and the can has yet to leak or fail. It is expensive for the area it covers but you save labor and time on setting up and cleaning a hopper.

                                                                  Best small-area texture-in-a-can I've found
                                                                  This one is far and away the best of the spray-can textures I've used. I've gotten a dud can before, where the plastic spray trigger was broken, and Home Depot gladly let me exchange it. I've attached a photo of a drywall replacement I just did in a bathroom. I have the best luck at high pressure (which reduces the coverage area from what the can says you'll get) and fine-medium texture. In Colorado's low humidity, I let it set 4 minutes before knocking it down. Hope this helps!

                                                                    This was my first try patching three decent size holes in the wall. I needed texture but I was scared to buy this because of bad reviews. I shook the bottle full 60 sec as hard as I could. I practiced first on cardboard. I used my tape measure to make sure I was spraying exactly 16” from wall. I sprayed in a circular motion, I waited 4 minutes before knocking down with knock down tool. It came out great!!!! I am so happy. Next up paint!

                                                                      One can worked great. Three others didn’t work as well. I would have liked to know the age of each of the cans but couldn’t find a date on them. I think they must have been old as product was runny and dribbled out even with lots of shaking. If I had the project to do again I would have returned them.
