Product Description:
The Power Tex ® is intended for use for the residential application of water-based textured materials to ceilings, walls, or other
surfaces. The Power Tex ® is an ideal tool for applying textured material to small areas or for repairing damaged sections of
knockdown or acoustic texture surfaces.
Materials that can be sprayed:
This unit has been designed to be used with 1) aggregated materials such as simulated acoustic ("popcorn") and 2) unaggregated
materials such as diluted joint compound for knockdown and orange peel. Make sure to follow all the manufacturer's
recommendations and warnings when mixing and using textured materials.
Mixing the material:
When mixing the material you are going to spray, follow the manufacturer's directions. It is very important that the material
you use is properly mixed. The material should appear creamy, wet, and lump-free, similiar to pancake batter (refer to chart on
page 5 for variations). DO NOT mix the material inside the hopper. Use a separate container to mix the material. For best
results, use an electric drill with a paint-mixer attachment when mixing the material. Make sure the material settles for 15 minutes
before using and then mix again thoroughly. To ensure proper consistency, mix enough material to complete the job. Mixing
separate batches for one job may give inconsistent results.
Preparing the work area:
Texture spraying creates a great deal of dust and overspray material. It is necessary that you cover with drop cloths anything you
do not want sprayed (walls, windows, floors, furniture) and remove as many non-essential items from the room as possible. Make
sure the work surface has also been properly prepared. Application over unsealed, stained, improperly prepared, or not
completely dry surfaces may cause discoloration and adhesion problems.
