I am wondering how is the best way blend the new texture to the exisiting texture.I know I am going to practice on a test piece
first for matching I actully have the old piece I cut out for matching in the garage but I am wondering about the meeting edge.
I removed the texture around where the joint is about 7'' or 8''
Is that enough or should I remove a little more for the taping
I have read the joint compound needs to go pretty wide over
the tape so it hides the joint pretty good.
And another question is,where I remove the old texture do I want
to have a straight edge all the way around or just kinda blend it
like try to just kinda do a unnoticeable transition and even spray
the new texture out and beyond the patch area.
Thanks for any help Doug
