Is drawing using the "sand" texture rightly graceful? I want to paint my bathroom and want to try a "texture"...
I want to paint my bathroom and want to try a "texture" but don't want to mess with ragging, rolling, or sponging. (been here, done that!) Any advice?
dont shift there lisa ..it dont look good ..its rough on the skin if you brush by ..and it collects the dirt similar to a magnet ..think again ! Sand absorbs moisture and your wall will grow. Use latex semi-gloss and prime first next to "KILLS" primer.
It can be effortless to use the sand texture but you might want to rethink that choice. If you brush against the rough sand-textured wall in the bathroom, you could get a bad abrasion from it. Bathroom paint is always semi-gloss, too. That can look pretty funky with the sand added to it.
Anyway, the push button to a successful application of sand texture is to keep stirring the paint vigorously from the bottom of the can because the sand will want to settle in that and not stay evenly suspended in the paint.
btw, they make paint rollers that simulate rag and rolling, etc. With a little practice, the paint job looks super!! ; )
Answers: I have tried the sand texture and although it be easy and worked, I was not in good spirits with the result. If I had it to do over again I would bring a hopper and spray new texture on the walls then repaint.
