Wooster Brush, 9 R233-9 Texture Maker Roller Cover, Inch, Tan

Refinish sheetrock ceiling bathroom.

I needed to repair a 2x2ft section of stucco. First started with Rapid Set Stucco patch to fill the large area and laid it in level. The patch left a surface that was too smooth as compared to the surrounding stucco. I tried all kinds of approached to achieve the right textured finish. None came close. I needed a rough 3/32" bumpy surface. In desperation I bought this roller. I used wall tile mortar mix at a normal to wet consistency. I spread a very thin layer over the area to be textured with a trowel/spackle knife and then used the roller to create the texture. You will want to experiment first on a flat board to find the right mortar mix moisture consistency and roller pressure for your finish. As noted by other reviewers, using this for sanded paint will probably not work. The plastic roller loops are to big to hold paint but worked great for the mortar mix. You might be able to texture the stucco patch directly if it has not cured and you keep it wet. Highly recommended.,

Wooster products are usually VERY GOOD, but in this case the rollers were worthless for use in my project. They could not be used to apply a textured paint on my concrete patio (as they represented). They would not hold the paint/texture and made a mess when using. I am thinking the material used for the loops on the rollers was too old and brittle. They should have been softer in order to absorb and distribute material. Don't buy these if you intend on using for textured material application, you won't be happy.

Great product. Did what I needed to do

Worked great
