Mixing Material
Mixing Material
Correct material mixture is essential. The pump 
will not operate if the mixture is too thick.
Mix the material in a separate container before pouring it into hopper.
Use Material Thickness Gauge to determine mix- ture is thin enough to spray.
*The Material Thickness Gauge will only deter- mine if the material is thin enough to pass through the pump. For some applications or for higher speed spraying, your mixture may need to be thin- ner.
5.Observe the ball on the material. When the material is thin enough to spray the ball will sink completely into the mixture.

6.If the ball does not sink completely into the mixture within 10 seconds, add more water, agitate and try test again.

3.Allow ceiling texture to set for at least 15 minutes. Then remix prior to use.
4.After texture material is thoroughly mixed, gently set ball end of Material Thickness Gauge on surface of mixture.
For an accurate test, be sure gauge is completely 
dry and clean every time it is used.
Premix
1.Slowly add approximately 2 to 4 qts (1.9 to 3.8 liters) of water to a 5 gallon (18.9 liter) bucket of premix.
