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.

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.

IT DIDN'T SPRAY
Would Not RecommendThe nozzle didn't work, and then I had to fuss with it and it broke. So I had to leave the job and return to Lowes and get a refund and another can from a different brand. Total waste of my time. Bad product. The other brands at least spray.

Wouldn’t recommend to an enemy
Would Not RecommendLet can sit at room temperature for 24 hours. Shook for over 5 minutes. Followed directions and… GARBAGE!!! Uneven spray (when it did spray at all). Went through can super fast. Just stay away from this product. Frustration free of charge. Went back and purchased Homax brand. Guess it wasn’t operator error. Homax wall texture worked great!

Not recommended
Would Not RecommendThis product was difficult to work with and I would not recommend it. In spite of following the direction, the product came out of the can like weak shaving cream.

Terrible product.
Would Not RecommendProduct either oversprays or does not spray at all. When I could finally get it to spray I ended up with product all over my hands and areas of the wall that did not need product.

Immediate clogging!
Would Not RecommendTerrible experience with this product. The nozzle and tube clogged immediately and rendered the product useless.

terrible
Would Not RecommendI followed the instructions, exactly. The first can just dribbled on itself. The second can shot a small, straight fountain about three inches above the tube. The instructions are to apply the "spray" from twelve inches below the ceiling, so neither can was remotely useable. DAP should pull product.

Total Trash
Would Not RecommendI've used the HOMAX brand for years and recently lowes switched to this stuff. Now several times the can has been defective. This first time i thought it was a fluke but every time this happens it costs our business a small fortune in material acquisition costs to leave the jobsite and locate another spray texture for a couple simple patches, losing us money.

Do not buy
Would Not RecommendI have over 20 yrs experience in repairing drywall and using spray cans to texture and this is by far the worst can I’ve used. The first can sprayed less than 20 seconds before stopping from a clog and wouldn’t clear and the second can stopped about 1/2 way through like it was out of air. The way it sprays is chunky and impotent and lacks the ability to match different thickness of spray. I wouldn’t use it again.

Bad Product
Would Not RecommendThe product on the shelf had several of the safety tabs removed. I found one with the tab still on and proceeded to my project site. Shook it really well popped the tab and it dribbled out. Returned the product for a refund.
