re: Wall texture (orange peel)

Thanks for the advice. What type of method did y'all use to put up the texture? I have one of those guns with the compressor built into it, but not really liking the results. What do you guys use for this process?

I have the orange peel gun from HD. I mix my mud to a milk shake consistency. When I start to spray I keep a consistent distance from the wall or ceiling and walk the gun leaving it spraying flat. Do long passes without pauses. I don't do overlaps. After the 1st light coat I do another coat (if first horizontal then the 2nd is vertical). Again long passes keeping the gun flat.
Don't pause and keep your arms moving when you stop the spray or you may get a clump.
Edit: have the gun moving before you begin and after you stop similar to spray painting if that helps.
