Drywall Texture Roller - Tree Bark Pattern - Decorative Paint Roller
<b>Drywall Texture Paint Roller</b><br><br>Create unique and interesting paint and plaster texture patterns with foam rubber drywall texture rollers. You can use paint texture rollers for knockdown and stand-up drywall texture patterns. The rubber roller fits on any standard 9" paint frame, and is easily washed with water.<br><br>Creating the pattern is simple:<br>- Thin your drywall joint compound down to a workable consistency. You may need to experiment with the consistency to get the desired look, but "pancake batter" thickness is the general guideline for texturing with a roller<br>- Use a paint tray to hold the mud for your roller. Use a heavy nap paint roller to apply a coat of mud to the area to be textured<br>- For a smoother and more defined texture pattern, skim mud lightly with a taping knife or trowel to smooth the surface prior to applying roller. For a more textured and "chunky" look, do not smooth nap marks out of mud coat<br>- Wet texture roller lightly and roll across wet mud coat. Test varying amounts of pressure to achieve the desired look. You can roll in straight lines for a more symmetric look or vary direction for a more random pattern.<br><br>A thinner layer of mud results in a more subtle pattern while a thicker coat of mud creates more dramatic and raised texture.<br><br>Thicker consistency of mud will show the texture pattern more distinctly, while mud mixed thinner will result in a more abstract looking pattern.
