What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly report severe reliability issues with this wall texture spray. Most describe complete non-functionality, clogged nozzles, or trigger failures within seconds of use. Many note the spray produces giant globs, sparse mist, or orange peel effects instead of intended texture, with results sloughing off walls. Several mention extensive shaking yields only brief bursts before the can becomes unusable. A few report limited success for tiny patch repairs when following instructions carefully, but these experiences are vastly outweighed by widespread complaints about poor performance and product failure.

Waste of $20
Would Not RecommendI don't recommend this product. It doesn't spray more than a few seconds before you need to shake the can again for a minute, dispense for 5 seconds, shake again for a minute..... Save your money.

Doesn't produce popcorn
Would Not RecommendThe results of this spray looks more like a heavy orange peal rather than a popcorn ceiling. I shook it like crazy for several minutes prior to spraying. It is also bright white so it will not match an aged ceiling. I'm returning it.

junk
Would Not Recommendthis is the worst spray texture I've used in 20 years. The trigger wouldn't work first of all, I finally made it work and then after spraying it on you can't knock it down it just peels off the wall I don't know if it was old stock or the product is just junk but either way it didn't work.

Deserves Zero Stars
Would Not RecommendWorked for about 15 seconds, then completely stopped. Grabbed a second can, same thing... Tried everything and finally gave up. I've used the other brand dozens of times and never had a single issue. Now I have to waste time returning this and buying the stuff that actually works!

Completely Unusable
Would Not RecommendI was unable to use this at all. It either sprayed out in one giant ball of watered down paint consistency or it oozed out of the nozzle like one of those growing snakes you buy at a fireworks stand. And that was if I was able to get any product to come out at all. Complete waste of money. So frustrating. I’ve been a DAP user pretty faithfully. This experience has me looking into other brands. Don’t waste your money or time! The mess was time consuming to clean up.

Pick a product with the simplest nozzle possible.
Would Not RecommendImmediately clogged up and the trigger mechanism did not work well at all. I had to remove it and rig a workaround in order to use the rest of the container.

It does not work !
Would Not RecommendVery disappointed in this product Valve malfunctioned and sprayed gunk all over the place. I had masked 4x4 foot section on wall and had a drop cloth on the floor, and still had a significant mess to clean up.

not very good
Would Not RecommendI wanted a very small subtle orange peel like the room already had. What this product does is a violent splatter that looks like a popcorn ceiling. I found a better product from Behr called ETX Single Shot. It gives much better control and I was able to get the result I needed

Sprayed giant globs or nothing.
Would Not RecommendFollowed directions exactly. It either sprayed giant globs that were not going to look like knock down. Or it sprayed nothing. No in between even with the straw. Made sure the straw was not clogged.
