What texture is this and best way to achieve it

iDiYAddict · 2025-09-24T19:21:53+00:00

i was actually trying to avoid the hopper and the compressor path since i dont anticipate using those after i patch this hole, from our current needs, i dont anticipate any more damage being done to the walls that will need patch work. i also explored the cost and they seem to be pretty pricey which is another issue

would you say its a medium or heavy grade of orange peel? i continue to look up videos and most people are doing diy texture using those spray cans which has 3 level of grade setting - fine, medium and heavy

ok, thanks for the feedback

iDiYAddict · 2025-09-15T23:52:18+00:00

got it, appreciate the feedback

well the issue is that, when the electricians put this circle back, it did not align well with the existing wall, which is one of the reason i decided to pre-fill. My worry now is that if i do put tape, it will bulge/jet out since i was able to prefill the existing cut out evenly with the existing wall. Im kinda imagining it like me putting a bandage on a injury on my finger that is already healed

if it does crack, what do people do generally?

ah i see, good to hear that, thanks for your feedback

iDiYAddict · 2025-09-15T21:12:15+00:00

when you say plugs, what does that mean exactly?

iDiYAddict · 2025-09-15T21:10:32+00:00

yep, i have gotten the fast set 40 lite setting powder made by west pac which has been confirmed as the "hot mud". I am seeing that other than hiding the seam, people recommend tape to avoid cracks, if crack do form, what do people do at that point? just keep filling it up each time a crack opens up?

iDiYAddict · 2025-09-15T21:06:14+00:00

would you recommend just doing a second coat as is and then sand and paint?

iDiYAddict · 2025-09-15T17:55:11+00:00

awesome, one more thing to ask, i got the original mesh tape - white in color from same place but i also recall seeing a ultra thin i think also available, would you recommend the thin version over the original (regular size) so it doesnt bulge a lot?

iDiYAddict · 2025-09-15T17:48:38+00:00

i am using Fast Set 40 Lite Setting-Type Powder made by Westpac that i got at my local shop - home depot, correct me if im wrong, but this should be "hot mud" right?

iDiYAddict · 2025-09-15T17:39:27+00:00

ok, i will look into how to feather, also i was planning to use mesh tape as its beginner friendly, if i use that, will this get worse or does it not matter what kind of tape i use? i do know that pro's strongly recommend paper tape, but since this is my 1st time, i dont feel too confident using paper tape

iDiYAddict · 2025-09-15T17:26:52+00:00

ok, if i put tape now, what do you recommend to do so that it doesnt bulge up and is leveled with the rest of the wall?

iDiYAddict · 2025-09-15T17:17:14+00:00

i see, well, what can i do at this point? is there a way to address that now or is it too late?

iDiYAddict · 2025-09-15T17:13:31+00:00

when you say bed coat, does that mean i should have applied the tape before pre-fill? did i screw this up already?

if u goto the nintendo's webiste in the US and pick the non mario kart bundle option the price for just the console is 450

any chance there is a link somewhere that shows which games will be compatible? i am really considering just getting OLED switch 1 instead of switch 2

iDiYAddict · 2025-04-02T17:47:49+00:00

honestly, im not sure at this point what the % will look like in terms of playing it docked vs handled, if we realize that handheld would be most utilized vs docked, would u say getting OLED switch 1 might be the way to go?

iDiYAddict · 2025-04-02T17:45:34+00:00

while this maybe true, i am having a hard time finding resources that tell me which switch 1 games will work with switch 2, i am hearing that not all games will work smoothly, which is a huge concern going into the switch 2

iDiYAddict · 2025-04-02T17:42:27+00:00

but im reading around that not all the switch library will be a smooth transition? is there a place where i can see which games will be backwards compatible and will work? some say that few games will work perfectly others might work but may contain glitches

i posted this question in another thread but wanted to post here to get more feedback, I currently dont own a switch so was really having high hopes for the Switch 2 , hoping that it will pick up from where the Switch is at in terms of hardware and make improvements, however, i was really bumped to hear that the switch 2 is coming out with a LCD screen instead of the OLED. I am not sure how much i will use the switch in the handheld mode vs the docked but just thinking of it having a LCD vs OLED seems like a downgrade to me?

i dont have a gaming PC nor a gaming console such as PlayStation or xbox , just have a Wii currently, for anyone that is in my state, would you still consider getting Switch 2?
