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 mixture is thin enough to spray.
*The Material Thickness Gauge will only determine 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 thinner.
Dry Mix - 40 lb (18 kg) bag.
For best results do not use partial bags of 
material.
1.Slowly add one 40 lb. (18 kg) bag of texture material to
ti2496
2.Agitate to mix, using a
ti2497#1
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.
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.
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.
