Can this add texture to a smooth wall? My wall has no texture on it as it had wallpaper on it. Would this work like using drywall mud to add texture

Yes. Just mix it into the paint according to instructions. The medium grade mix I find adds good texture.

I have only used this product as an additive to paint to repair a crack in a textured wall. On that, I can say it worked very nicely.

Yes, you can. I had used this on a wall which was stripped of wall paper and then primed. I added it to the paint, and it worked beautifully.

Mine is lightly textured and it stuck very well. I would not recommend for anything with points that will poke holes through it but dont think you would have a problem with most regular textures.

Hello Merry, Our decals are meant for smooth surfaces, though they've done well on orange peel walls. Generally, they don't stick well to things that are spiky, or porous. I'd be happy to take a look at a snapshot of your wall.Thank You,

Our walls are not smooth, they have a textured (bumpy) surface to the drywall which was then painted over. So it's a bumpy wall, and it sticks just fine. We put it up at Christmas time, and now 5 months later I had to touch up one corner once (rubbed my hand over it for 2 seconds) and have otherwise not had to deal with it at all. It was a great find for us.

Our walls are textured as well. It stuck like a pro. I've had others that stay up for a day, but this one hasn't budged.

Ahhh, not sure. It was VERY hard to put up. you really need only the old fashioned, roll on paste, nothing fast drying. Your wall under needs to be PERFECT. I have not yet painted it but I must say, there was tons of paste overrun and messes over the "naked" paper and it washed up wonderfully with just water. It looks stained when wet, but then drys white. I imagine painted, especially with a latex of sorts or semi, normally used in bathrooms it would be just fine. Also, the repeat pattern in huge, like three or four feet so buy tons extra.

I actually did not use the wallpaper because I decided it wouldn't work for what I wanted. I have two rolls available cheap! I do know it is not prepasted, so I guess it comes down to whether added paste is strippable. Sorry I don't have a better answer.

I believe it would be thick enough depending how thick the texture is. I've seen some texture that is very thick then I would say no. You may want to sand down the thick areas of the texture. When my husband and I textured our walls the texture was not very thick. What I would worry about is it sticking on the plaster. You may want to use wall paper glue. Hope this helps. Good luck

Hello, Steve...I would not recommend this product for that use. I think this job needs a stronger product like Weld Bond or Tacky Glue that comes in several kinds: Clear Gel, Original, Extra Hold, etc. my first choice for wallpaper would be Weld Bond. You could build a house with this adhesive. Hope this helps. Have a great Monday....Linda

I used a roller and brush and it works just fine. Turns out textured like painting a wall though. At first the roller just slid around but as soon as it gets tacky it rolls nicely. Use a normal 1/4 " nap roller. Don't use a bed liner roller or you'll just scrape the paint around.

who much of a texture is it? only because my walls are completely smooth and it was ok to apply,I had to go back over it a few times and over the last few days I have to smooth certain spots out. I honestly would not spend the money risking it not sticking correctly.

Based on my experience I would say it wouldn't make a textured surface smooth. I used it for my range hood and it comes out with small lines in it like whichever way the paintbrush goes

I'm not sure about it sticking to the bed coating since it is I'm guessing more textured than smooth. Best to ask the manufacturer. Sorry couldn't have been more helpful.

No. It won't make a textured surface smooth. It's very thin and sort of glides on the surface you're painting. I got a very smooth effect on formica with a foam roller. For a textured surface, you would likely need a brush. I'm wondering about the texture. Texture might mean vinyl. I don't know how that would work and last. I think that the advantage to this product is that, on a smooth surface, the effect is very smooth. Usually painting means a "painted" look. This product doesn't look like stainless steel, but it doesn't look like paint either. For me, whether I'd try it on your project would depend on how much I hated my current refrigerator.

I used it to skim coat my walls with joint compound to smooth out old plaster walls and for smoothing drywall joints it works wonderfully. I put three thin coats on entire plaster walls sanded then used very thin coat to fill in areas that had pock marks (small holes in compound) very lightly hand sanded. Walls look great, covered all the flaws ( lumps and dips ) on the plaster walls.

I used matted paint but it was a flat wall... Not textured. It was fairly easy to adhere using the tool supplied, a though i did have to go back and fix it a few times because it would bubble upon settling. It took some time but stuck. I actually tried using some indirect heat from a blow dryer too when I first did it. Not really sure if that helped.

No, it would not apply well to a textured wall especially if the wall is plaster. You need to rub the stencil to apply and that may damage the texturing of the wall.
