Drywall Texture Roller (Crows Feet / Foot)

Create unique and interesting patterns with rubber drywall texture rollers. You can use the drywall texture rollers for knockdown and stand-up drywall texture patterns. The rubber roller fits on any standard 9" paint frame, and is easily washed with water.

To create the pattern is simple:

• Thin your drywall joint compound down to a workable consistency. You may need to experiment with the consistency to get the desired look, but "pancake batter" thickness is the general guideline for texturing with a roller
• Use a paint tray to hold the mud for your roller.
• Use a heavy nap paint roller to apply a heavy coat of mud to the area to be textured
• For a smoother and more defined texture pattern, skim mud lightly with a taping knife or trowel to smooth the surface
• For a more textured and "chunky" look, do not smooth nap marks out of mud coat
• Wet texture roller lightly and roll across wet mud coat. Test varying amounts of pressure to achieve the desired look.
• You can stay in straight lines for a more symmetric pattern, or use random strokes for a stylistic design.
• If desired, you can knock the high spots down for a traditional knockdown texture after about 15 minutes.
