Mixing Material
Dry Mix - 40 lb (18 kg) bag.
1.
Slowly add one 40 lb. (18
kg) bag of texture mate-
rial to 5-6 gallons
(18.9-22.7 liters) of clean
water as instructed on the
bag instructions.
2.
Agitate to mix, using a
half-inch, variable speed
drill with mixing paddle, to
a smooth, lump-free con-
sistency.
3.
Allow ceiling texture to set
for at least 15 minutes.
Then remix prior to use.
4.
After texture material is thoroughly mixed, gently set
ball end of Material Thickness Gauge on surface of
mixture.
5.
Observe the ball on the
material. When the mate-
rial is thin enough to spray
the ball will sink com-
pletely into the mixture.
6.
If the ball does not sink
completely into the mix-
ture within 10 seconds,
add more water, agitate
and try test again.
Premix
1.
Slowly add approxi-
mately 2 to 4 qts (1.9 to
3.8 liters) of water to a 5
gallon (18.9 liter) bucket
of premix.
2.
Agitate to mix, using a
half-inch, variable speed
drill with a mixing pad-
dle, to a smooth,
lump-free consistency.
3.
After texture material is thoroughly mixed, gently set
ball end of Material Thickness Gauge on surface of
mixture.
4.
Observe the ball in
material. When the
material is thin
enough to spray the
ball will sink com-
pletely into the mix-
ture.
5.
If the ball does not sink completely into the mixture
within 10 seconds, add more water, agitate and try
test again.
Correct material mixture is essential. The pump
will not operate if the mixture is too thick.
Mix the material in a separate container before
pouring it into hopper.
Use Material Thickness Gauge to determine
mixture is thin enough to spray.
*The Material Thickness Gauge will only
determine if the material is thin enough to pass
through the pump. For some applications or for
higher speed spraying, your mixture may need to
be thinner.
For best results do not use partial bags of
material.
For an accurate test, be sure gauge is completely
dry and clean every time it is used.
