1. Patch ceiling cracks or holes so that the surface of the repaired area is flush with the ceiling.
2. Cover and mask carpet, furniture, etc., to protect from overspray. Wear safety glasses to protect your eyes from overspray and always keep nozzle pointed away from your face.
3. Can is best used at room temperature. SHAKE CAN VIGOROUSLY for 1 minute. Point nozzle towards patch, extending arm up at approximately a 40-degree angle toward area you are going to spray so that you are not spraying directly over your head. Hold can 2-3 feet from patch.
4. The Acoustic + with Particles nozzle is specially designed to propel Spraytex upward while the can is kept in an upright position. Position your forefinger and middle finger to press down on nozzle.
5. While moving can in a circular motion, spray short bursts of texture on patch. You may also hold down and continuously spray while keeping the can moving as you spray. Short bursts may make it easier to cover the area you are patching.
6. If you have some overspray, clean it up before it dries. Binders make it harder to clean after drying. Acoustic + with Particles cleans with water.
7. SPRAYTEX acoustic patch may be painted in 5 to 12 hours, depending on humidity, surface, and temperature.
8. It’s best to paint acoustic ceilings with a spray applicator rather than a roller, which can actually pull the popcorn texture off as you paint.
9. Clean nozzle with water. Do not turn can upside down and spray to clean. Covers up to 6 square feet (depending on texture and surface area).
