Sammy Ray Posted December 15, 2015 Author Share Posted December 15, 2015 Awesome, thanks Sable.i thought about trying spray able knockdown on the interiors. An old one had any experience with that? You can get cans of it Lowes/Home Depot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you talking about Kilz to prep the flat surfaces for painting or wallpapering? That works. So does any kind of interior house paint, preferably flat or satin finish. Or gesso. In short, anything that will seal the wood to keep the chemicals from bleeding through to the surface decoration, whatever it may be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sable Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Kathie, Knockdown is used here a lot on new homes. They spray globs of joint compound with a machine onto drywall, walls and ceilings. Then smooth the globs down to form a texture. (Knockdown the globs) Personally, I don't care for it on my RL walls. The walls become dust collectors. And who wants to vacuum walls? It can also be hard on little knuckles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sable Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 I used joint compound to create very smooth walls and ceilings in one of my houses. This requires a lot of outdoor sanding with a sanding block once dry. You have to wait a few days to really make sure it is dry before sanding and adding primer and paint. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sammy Ray Posted December 15, 2015 Author Share Posted December 15, 2015 Lol.. yeah that autocorrect is something.. :) But yes knockdown is also sometimes called popcorn.. used in home to texture walls and ceilings. Cans of it are sold to help spot repair drywall in homes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having not actually seen the result, I still somehow think the scale would be off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popcorn is a little different. It can contain 'bits' in it. Plus it doesn't like to be painted. At least in Florida it doesn't. And yes, I think either form would be too thick and not to scale. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy Ray Posted December 16, 2015 Author Share Posted December 16, 2015 Makes sense.. I figured it would not work for some reason or another.. otherwise I would have seen it by now. Great input, ty. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
