20 oz Homax 4065 Aerosol Texture Water-Based Knockdown Wall Texture

I used this Homax Knockdown Wall Texture for a repair project at my house, and it worked perfectly. The spray was very easy to apply, and it blended surprisingly well with the existing wall texture. What I liked most was how forgiving it was to use. Even without being a drywall expert, I was able to create a clean, professional-looking finish that hid the repair completely. Cleanup was simple since it’s water-based, and the aerosol can made the whole process quick and convenient. If you need to patch textured walls or cover small imperfections, this product is absolutely worth it. Highly recommend.

When used as directed, it matched my wall texture perfectly

Spray nozzle is better than others I’ve tried but it runs out quick. Would get a second can for larger jobs. Allow to dry longer than suggested in my opinion to get best results.

UPDATE: I had another small home repair and decided to give this one more try. Observations: - the instructions say to shake well for one minute. This is important: shake well and keep shaking during usage if you need to spray for more than (e.g.) 10 seconds. - warm the can before usage. I have read of others holding the can under a stream of hot water, sticking the can in boiling water or similar. I will not recommend that because I'm fearful of exploding aerosol cans. I just stuck mine under my shirt for about 10 mins. - you can spray onto bare wallboard, joint compound etc but I got better & more predictable results on a painted over surface. - practice on some scrap surface before usage. This will help you learn when to knock down the sprayed texturing material and aid you in getting the pattern you want. With the above in mind this product works very well indeed. I will purchase another can if/when the time comes. OLD REVIEW follows: I purchased one can for a small repair. First I tested on about 2 sq ft of spare wallboard with good results. When I subsequently used it on the repair area -- about 2 sq ft also -- it worked well for a few seconds but then seemed able to spray the texture material only about one inch. Clearing the nozzle and shaking the can some more did not help. There seems to be a large amount of material left in the can which I will not likely be able to use because of this. Note that I was careful to follow directions and shake the can very well before using. Overall seems like a good idea that needs some improvement ... The total coverage available is far less than claimed.

Received this product and it will not spray out of the can at all, after many attempts to shake and mix the product up - just a defective can of knock down I have to throw away.

The can says "heavy-bodied". The actual texture was very low profile. I initially followed the directions exactly. Shook can. Temperature was perfect. Waited 6 min (they say 4-8) before knocking down. The width of the texture spots can be accurately applied, but I could not get it high enough to match the depth of the adjacent texture. I tried to then let it set for over 8 min... like 9-10 min... but it still was very low profile when knocked down. Regarding coverage, I did an area about 18" x 12", so 1.5 square feet. I don't know where they get their coverage estimate. I had to apply once, then wipe off and reapply when I didn't like how it knocked down. I was left with about 20% in can after that.

Works very well. I never write reviews but I felt like I had to this time

I actually read the instructions. That's not normal for me. What I absolutely love about this product is that if you get it wrong the first time, you can scrape it all away and start over. I highly recommend testing on a piece of cardboard first. I way overapplied the first time, and as I was trying to "knock off" the dry ridges, I found it was still very wet underneath. So the first time was an abject failure. It took about three tries to get an acceptable result, but as I went around repairing drywall holes, I found that each one got easier and easier. The last few holes I textured over, I coudn't tall you where the holes actually were. I struggle with mudding when it comes to dryway. I'm ever able to get it completely perfect, but with such an easy sprey-on texture like this, I can hide just about any seam. in fact, I'm thinking of touching up one of the seems that were visible when I moved in.
