Homax 4610 Pneumatic ll Spray Texture Gun

Customer Reviews & Comments
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 the pre-mixed mud jugs for one of my rooms that had to be finished at the time. It did not clog on me using their pre-mixed texture mud. Anyway, this thing was a blast to use. I sure am looking forward to using this thing again on the other rooms, though I'd probably mix my own mud when the time comes (its a lot cheaper). Taping sucked. Sanding sucks. But using this gun to texture was quite fun. Cleaning was easy too, just run it through water while using a brush and you're all set. I'm glad I got this thing. :-) Now I need to paint. BTW, aside from the texture cans, this is the only texture gun I tried and used.
