Removing Texture from Drywall

[mbussinger]

We have to fix some of the drywall in our house but the problem is that drywall is smooth and the rest of the wall is textured. I’m not sure what kind of texture was put on before. What is the easiest way to go about making it look good?

(sounds like you need to ADD texture)

If so, this is easy!
At most hardware stores, there’s a texture-spray by Homax. It has an adjustable top for changing the droplet size that sprays out.

>>> Have your repair-spots sanded smooth, ALL dust removed, and lightly primed.
>>> Then do a quick, spiral-motion spray over the patched areas.
>>> Let texture dry, and, IDEALLY…prime/paint the whole wall for the least noticeable result.
