Painting - Texture and Popcorn

Have purchased a hopper to do popcorn on interior ceiling.
Can this same unit be used to do a texture job on the walls? Not much information included with the hopper and most folks say it is easier to just roll on. Any opinions??

Thanks, Bob

Pursuit777,

The same unit can be used on the walls and then you just flatten it out with a trowel. Works great if you have a flat ceiling, after you mask it!

If you want the knock down look on the walls and the ceilings are textured, you could use a large metal edge blade, I think this is 3 or 4' long and this acts like a shield as you blow the walls. You just move this along while your spraying. Doesn't mess up the popcorn (textured) ceiling.

I'm not sure about rolling the ceiling, never done it that way.

Good Luck!

Pursuit777,

Sorry, it should have said not sure about rolling the walls!

Thanks Doug! Appreciate the feedback!
