We just stripped of the wallpaper in our guest bathroom, cleaned all residue off walls, did a great job of "patching" any ripped paper, gouges, low spots, etc., with spackling compound, re-sanded again (lightly) with a random-orbital sander then "hand sanded" with drywall screen sander, thoroughly vacuumed, lightly wiped (with ever-so-damp sponge) to removed all "dust", then primed with BM "Fresh Start Acrylic Primer".

The rest of this (the non-wallpapered sections) 1987 Florida house has "Orange Peel TEXTURE" on the walls. I am TRYING to decide whether to once again (as I did in a project 6+ months ago) BUY HOMAX "Orange Peel SPRAY CANS" (love the fact it goes on BLUE then dries white), use my NEW (never used before) Stanley Goldblatt TEXTURE SPRAYER and air compressor with a "home brew" or "pre-mixed" batch of texture compound....... OR...... ROLL-ON ZINSSER ROLL-A-TEX (medium) in the first coat of finished paint, followed by a second coat of "un-textured" finish paint ??

I have seen actual "samples" of the ROLL-A-TEX at Home Shows and it didn't impress me.... sort of "flaked off" when lightly touched, and had a "harsh" and "jagged" look and feel as compared to traditional "Orange Peel" !!

PLEASE SHARE your "experiences", "like or dislikes" about the ROLL-A-TEX !!

Thanks................
