Problems with canned wall texture

[farmerjohn1324]

Has anybody ever used this stuff and was happy with it? It sprayed fine for about 5 seconds, then kind of just stopped, or it would come out intermittently. All the spots I was patching came out looking pretty bad, but good enough because they're in out-of-the-way areas.

I had this same problem when I tried to use this stuff a couple years ago.

I use this stuff often with great results. First of all, you need a new can. Once opened, it degrades rapidly. Secondly, you got to shake it like no tomorrow, at least 5 minutes. Lastly, soak the can in warm water for a few minutes, then shake some more. Have a test cardboard, to test your adjustable spray nozzle, until you get the desired consistency. Then, go to town, and keep the nozzle clear of any build up immediately. The more gunk around the nozzle, the worse results you will get.
