Easy to use -just make sure the roller is damp with water. The pattern matched perfectly!

This roller did work as promised providing the person uses uniform drywall mud (slow drying!) and an even pressure with no sliding. It is MUCH more dramatic than would be suggested by the design. Too bad I can't include a picture.

I give it a 10 it gets the job done and a lot faster and easier.

Would of like more insight on how to use it

It did not match the texture pattern on my ceiling patch job perfectly, but it was the closest fit I could find after much research.

great item

Be careful, the black from the roller will come off when you first start to use it, just a little bit at first. if you can get it to work its great, but it's very hard to get a consistent pattern, if you get the 'mud' or paint on too thick the roller just skids and it's hard to get the pattern even.

You will need two rollers. The first is a regular either a 1/2-3/4 inch nap roller and spread out enough to do a small area (one or two full rows from the corner)... or you can trowel it on and then secondly your texture roller. I actually preferred the trowel. It was more up and down on the ladder but it was easier to control how much spackle makes it to the ceiling, and the thickness throughout the ceiling. Since your look is based on uniformity it was easier for me and less work on my shoulders. Thin your spackle by adding water and mixing until it's a little thinner than peanut butter. You can get a mixer in the drywall department to put on the end of a cordless drill... for like 6 bucks. Use a tarp it's a little messy. If you like a smoother more defined look, trowel it flat and then roll in the texture. If you need to cover more flaws and want a slightly less defined look, use the roller followed by the texture roller. Start in the corner against the first wall of your choice, roll in one direction to the other wall. Over lap your rows by about a 1/2 inch with the texture roller. If you make a mistake roll it again with the thick nap roller or quickly trowel and then use the texture roller again. It's super forgiving if it's wet, don't try to do a large area, because the spackle will dry. Adding water to the spackle makes it seem like it will be wet forever, but it evaporates A LOT quicker than you would imagine. After you do a couple rows you will get a rhythm and it will go well. If you start to losing your texture you're starting to put it on to thinly.... stop add some more and re-texture so it matches. It took me a minute to notice some thin spots now I need to go back and touch up... but it was my first time. (So I wrote this to save other 1st timers some headaches. lol It's a easy project if you know what to expect and it's a really nice project when completed, looks great! This roller almost resembles fireworks or palm trees when it is finished. It's a lovely design.

Thinning mud for correct use of roller is trial and error, if not exactly right then imprint from roller fails.

Easy to use beautiful design cleans up nicely ,reusable.

Woooohoooo. Easy transaction, product works.

This roller was everything I needed.

Awesome

Pattern came out perfect. Do not stop when rolling and keep roller in same direction every time. Before using roller, dampen lightly with water. Easy clean up.

easy to use

Texture turned out very well.

This roller makes texture a ceiling easier, i done one ceiling and its coming apart and i had to order more. But i love the look it leaves on ceiling.

This texture roller is reasonably priced, easy to use and great results. If you have never textured an indoor ceiling or wall, just go to YouTube and there are videos you can watch that will teach you.

Very easy to use. I used on my ceiling to cover up a bad sparkling job. Love it!
