Product Expert Notes
Start with the 4 mm nozzle for fine orange-peel texture and step up to the 6 mm or 8 mm for knockdown and heavier stucco-style applications. Keep the brass orifices clean between loads, since dried compound in the orifice is the most common cause of spatter. Pair the gun with a compressor that comfortably exceeds the 2.4 CFM at 90 PSI minimum so pressure stays steady during long runs.
Wear eye and respiratory protection when spraying texture, and keep the air supply disconnected while loading or cleaning the hopper.
