In this Video Playlist I have video footage from everything from how to mix skip trowel, applying tips and tricks and even some project videos where I wear a GoPro camera to get a very unique perspective of the skip troweling process.
- 1 5 gallon bucket of all purpose joint compound
- 1 clean empty 5 gallon bucket
- 1 bag of Texture Master Skip Trowel Sand (1 bag can do up to two rooms ceilings)
- 1 cup Water
- Paint or mud mixing arm for drill
- Trowel or mud knife
- Hawk or Mud pan
Mix all purpose joint compound with sand and water in a 5 gallon bucket. Start by mixing half of the five gallon bucket of joint compound with one cups of water 1/2 of a bag of Texture Master Skip Trowel Sand.
Mix together until joint compound reaches a pancake batter consistency of thickness.
For a thicker texture, add less water.
Let mix sit for 15 minutes. Remix and add a little more water if needed to get desired consistency. Try practicing on a scrap piece of drywall to try and achieve the desired skip trowel texture you’re trying to replicate.
Scoop some of the skip trowel mix out of the bucket onto either a hawk or drywall mud pan.
Find an inconspicuous area of the wall or ceiling in the room you will be texturing.
Using a trowel or mud knife put about an inch of your mix on the whole long working edge of the trowel or knife.
Lightly pull your trowel from the corner of the ceiling or the bottom of wall pulling towards the top, holding the trowel at a 15 degree angle and making short subtle skipping motions.
After you have applied the texture to about a 4’x4′ area, drop back and lightly go over that area with a clean wet trowel. This will smooth out any blobs or trowel chatters that might have been left behind.
Now you can match skip trowel texture like a Pro!
