I've got a shop I'm converting to a small apartment.The walls are rough plywood that's been painted. I'd like to avoid drywalling over them,and am wondering if it's possible to texture directly to this surface.Can one thin down a product like FIXALL, and apply a skim coat,then roll on joint compound for texture?

There are definitely ways it could be done, but I would make sure first that this is allowed in a residence, you might have to put up drywall to meet code anyway.

Assuming that it is allowed, how would one do this type of wall treatment?
