Orange Peel Texture Sponge | DIY Drywall Repair Tool

Because of the mess and amount of protection you need to spray a orange peel texture on a small drywall repairs or ceiling repairs.

I recommend not using a compressor and texture hopper for these types of small drywall and texture repairs.

A hopper simply is hard to dial in and get the right size splatters when trying to match knockdown texture. Texture hoppers also put out too much texture on not only the repair but the surrounding area when the texture is better if it's concentrated to a smaller area around the repair area

Resulting in too much orange peel texture build up on the original orange peel texture that you're trying to match. Never really making the patch invisible.

Along with the Orange Peel Texture Sponge this texturing project will require a couple more hand tools to do be able to blend the Orange Peel texture.

1) Orange Peel Texture Sponge

2) All purpose joint compound (I use USG green lid AP)

3) Drywall Mud pan

4) 6″ and 12″ Taping knife depending the size area you're going to be texturing
