Drywall Texturing Question....

Very standard approach. Called "roller stipple" here, requires a bit of care during application to avoid roller ridges, globs, etc to provide a pleasant ever texture. You can get slight variations based on length of roller nap - longer will give a heavier texture.

I know of installs well over 30 years old with no adverse cautions.

Thanks for your reply, Dan. And for all the info.

I ran across your primer on *roller stippling* a few months back (see below). Unfortunately, I've seen very little else on this technique -- either online or in print. In fact, had you not mentioned it here, I doubt I would have heard anything about it.

Why is that? Is it just not talked about in polite company? ; ))

The texture is often called "roller stipple". * * *

Just out of curiosity... if you let it set just a little, could you knock it down with a trowel to give it more dimension?
