Orange Peel is also known as Splatter or Eggshell texture. It's a popular wall texture and very forgiving. But what happens when it's damaged by kid's toys, wallpaper removal, chair rubbing or other hazards of everyday life? Well repairing this texture is not as hard as you might think. In fact there are a few ways to repair a small area. The most common involve either a manual approach or a spray approach. We'll discuss numerous methods in this tutorial.
Practice Your Technique:
Whichever method you employ, please practice first. So many of the problems people have are due to trying to match texture the first time and "for real" while making the repair. Any contractor will first mock-up a test area to get the technique and look satisfactory prior to making the repair. So should you. Practice on a piece of cardboard or scrap drywall or plywood or any hard flat surface.
