What is recommended for stipple repair? I have seen a spray-on stipple at Home Depot and have also painted over stipple but could use advice from the pros and/or those with experience. Thanks.

A brush or roller, depends on the type of texture, sometimes mini-hopper but move fast w. 20, lol. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AAxNL...feature=relmfu http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4WdMo...eature=related Haven't tried these yet, if you do- let me know: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zuj_1...eature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfPgM...eature=related Gary __________________ Clothes taking longer to dry?
