In this video clip I'm  using a paint mixing paddle on a cordless 18 volt drill. I'll be demonstrating how to mix a skip trowel texture that I'll be applying to a ceiling that I repaired all of the drywall paper tape joints and then skim coated with an all purpose joint compound before applying a new skip trowel texture.

1) Mix all purpose joint compound with sand and water in a 5 gallon bucket. Start by mixing half a five gallon bucket of joint compound with about two to three cups of water and three or four cups of clean sand. Mix in all of this together until it reaches a pancake batter consistency of thickness. For a thicker texture, add less water. Let mix sit for 15 minutes. Remix and add water if needed to get desired consistency. Try practicing on a scrap piece of drywall to try and achieve the desired skip trowel texture you're trying to replicate.

2) Scoop some of the skip trowel mix out of the bucket onto either a hawk or drywall mud pan. Now using a trowel or mud knife and put about an inch of your mix on the whole long working edge of the trowel or knife. First start by finding an inconspicuous area of the wall or ceiling in the room you will be texturing. Lightly pull your trowel from the corner of the ceiling or the bottom of wall pulling towards the top, holding the trowel at a 15 degree angle and making short subtle skipping motions.

3) After you have applied the texture to about a 4’x4′ area, drop back and lightly go over that area with a clean wet trowel. This will smooth out any blobs or trowel chatters that might have been left behind.
