Skim coating textured walls Patch#
Make sure to patch any drywall before applying the new paint. Skim coating textured walls can also be used to cover minor holes and damage on the walls. For best results, you should use a textured wall that is not too smooth or has large bumps. If you’re applying a paint or wallpaper, the smooth surface will prevent smudging. You can then paint or wallpaper over the smooth surface. The final swiping with a taping knife should produce a smooth surface. Once the skim coat has dried, it becomes more difficult to scrape. Using a tapering knife to skim off excess compound will also allow you to paint more areas than usual at one time. In either case, one coat of compound is not enough to achieve a smooth finish. Some contractors will simply apply the compound with a large nap roller, while others will smooth the surface using a trowel. There are many different techniques you can use to skim coat textured walls.
