Excellent hopper gun for your do it yourself projects
I was finishing part of our upstairs and needed a way to texture my walls. I had a 5 gal biscuit air compressor (porter cable) and it was going to cost me $45 to rent a hopper gun from the store. I seached the internet to see how much it is to purchase my own hopper gun and they go for about $70 to $150.
At first I thought about just getting one of the other hopper guns but I search the web some more and almost decided to get the homax texture that gets added to paint. I did some more searches and thought about using the orange peal cans that homax sells, then I saw this texure sprayer.
I'm writing this review because I did not see any here at amazon. I think this is an excellent texture gun. It's light and the optional 3 liter hopper can has a lid. That'll be very useful when you're doing ceilings, especially vaulted ones where you have to keep your other hand on the ladder.
I did not use my 3 liter hopper can on my latest project. I ended up getting...

does not exude quality, but fills a niche
I purchased this a couple years ago to texture the ceilings in my house after scraping the popcorn off. I will say, the product does work just fine, but not sure how it would stand up to consistent use. I will also say, if you purchase the pre-mixed containers, this will be about the most expensive way to texture you will be able to find (short of hiring someone to do the texturing for you).
The pre-mixed containers do not cover very much area, and are wickedly expensive. I'd recommend getting the 3L container and mixing your own. Purchase a container or box of topping compound and thin to the consistency somewhere between pancake batter and sour cream is the recommendation I was given and seems to work well.
Later, I purchased a real hopper gun and like it much better when doing larger areas, because the hopper lasts so much longer. After getting the hopper gun, I nearly chucked this gun because of it's cheap plastic feel until I realized that it fills the...
Good product for the DIY'er
A great little gun with a great little price. I was going to buy the Wagner PowerTex, but I found this little gem. I was a little skeptical of a gun that only cost about 50 bucks, but as it turns out, it worked great. I didnt buy the homax powder, but mixed my own texture. I used the USG Spray Texture QT Medium Poly (cottage cheese finish). I mixed it with 4.5 gallons of water with a mud mixing wand.
I had to practice a little on an old scrap piece of drywall a few times. I tested the psi on my compressor, nozzle adjustments, and spacing from the drywall to the gun tip. I would practice and then scrape it off with a 12 inch knife, then try again. I ended up using the 3C setting with about 40 psi and it worked fine. The spray was a little messy at first, but after turning up the psi to 40 it sprayed "cleaner". Cleanup was easy and I got about 3 rooms done in a few hours. Word to the wise, don't fill the hopper up all the way because when you tilt it to shoot the ceiling...
