In stead of mixing the drywall compound with water I thought about mixing it with primer.
Has any one done this, I would like to avoid re-priming the walls after texturing.

:no:
Still needs to be primed.

you already primed the walls before texturing and want to mix DW compound with paint so you dont have to reprime? hmmm

Maybe this kind of thinking is what gives handy-men a bad name.

If drywall coumpound is to be mixed with water, it needs to be mixed with water, even if you mixed it with primer, it would need to be primed again.

Professionals do not take short cuts, they do it right the first time.

If the walls are not properly primed they will flash.

Pehaps you could also add the wall color in while your at it and do all 3 in one go :thumbsup:

 

[Red Adobe]

Yup

I'm not tring to take short cuts, it's a repaint in an apartment, over the years the walls have been repaired so many times that I suggested textured.


Sherwin Williams makes a latex texture that doesn't require any additional prep before painting. I was going to use that. Apartment owner is a cheep ass.

would the mix be 50/50 to get coverage? Save yourself the aggravation of trying to sand that crap off and just prime it after not during.

 

[pipekicker]

no kidding HSC. if you mix primer with your mud, you're going to have a hell of a time sanding.

Would you also mix primer with your paste for hanging paper????:w00t::laughing::shifty::shifty:

You may as well throw in the top coat and just shoot it all at once.

 

[freemason21]

its really not a big deal to fix patches and then paint. whats the big deal? you sound lazy.

If you add shingles, mortar, and sod, you got a new house

$200-300 for an apartment repaint with you supplying materials...it's a tough world and guys will eat that kind of work up
