Frequently Asked Questions
Are the Homax systems easy to use?
The systems are a messy job like painting, but are not difficult. Each gun comes with an instruction manual featuring step-by-step instructions and illustrations.
How do I go about matching an existing texture pattern already on my wall?
By adjusting the front plate and lever and practicing on a sheet of cardboard or drywall, the user should have a good idea of the pattern they will achieve. Texture can be removed with a mud knife if done shortly after spraying.
How far back from the wall do I stand?
Generally stand about 3 feet back from the wall. The closer you are to the surface, the more concentrated the spray pattern will be. Texture will begin to run if the pattern becomes too concentrated.
What is the best way to clean the texture gun?
After use, remove the front plate and allow the texture from the gun to drain back into the bottle. Remove the bottle from the gun and rinse the gun chamber with warm water using your fingers or a brush to remove any texture residue. It is not necessary to disassemble the gun to clean it.
How can the gun parts be replaced?
Consumers can call Homax toll free at (800) 729-9029 for parts or mail the parts list in the instruction manual to order directly.
