I had a ton of nail pops that I repaired. I used DAP Spackle and sand all three coats. They were smooth to the hand. The I sprayed the texture (one coat) and then primed (one coat). When I go home yesterday, the wife said, you can see all the nail pop locations. They are now raised to the touch. One guy said I should have textured two coats. On one very small wall in the hall, I thinned out the joint compound and skim coated the wall. It had nail pops but you can not see them on that wall. Just where I used the DAP Spackle but not where I used the joint compound. The texture appears to be different over Spackle.
These walls were previously textured orange peel and painted. Now I textured over the existing and same orange peel.
Question:
In order to fix this raised appearance, should I skim coat the entire wall again and re-texture and re-prime?
or
Just re-texture over the existing texture again laying it on heavy?
What a pain it is to skim coat two 20x8 walls. Any ideas on how not to do the whole thing again?
Thanks
