I purchased this gun for putting 'knockdown' on my kitchen ceilng and walls. I have had absolutely no experience in doing this before. It was a 'growth' experience. There is a plethora of information on the internet, videos et.al., but none gave a start to finish discussion of how to do this. In the long run, you have to experiment on some scrap material or a section of the wall that will be covered up (by cabinets etc.). I bought the 'knockdown' material from Home Depot and simply followed the mixing directions on the package.

I did the walls first. Great! the gun performed perfectly. It took a number of tries before I got the balance between the opening to be used (I used the 3rd largest hole ..next time I'll use the next smaller hole.), the amount of trigger pull needed ('winged it' mostly wide open) , and the pressure from my compressor (=< 40# ... less may be better). And that's the beauty of this machine.. it's so easy to change settings. I love the all metal construction of the gun and the hopper is made of very good plastic type material. Although there is a variable 'stop' that can be used to limit the amount of trigger pull, I was not able to find the right location...and so as I said I simply pulled it all the way back and relied upon the orifice opening

And now we come to the ceiling (and the reason for the 4 rating instead of the 5). This unit comes with a plastic elbow attachment which is supposed to allow you to tip the gun upwards whilst keeping the hopper vertical, to avoid spillage. Thinking back, I seem to remember an innocuous comment on one of the internet sites (not in the manual!) about tightening the lower part of the elbow attachment with a hose clamp. I really remembered that when the hopper popped of the gun and the material started running down my arm and onto the floor. The stuff was starting to set up so had to finish by trying to hold the hopper in place by putting pressure on it. Made for a sloppy and uneven ceiling job, which turned out to be passable. I did buy a hose clamp and it makes the whole ensemble rock solid ..... but com'on guys... for crying out loud, just put the hose clamp in with the gun... REALLY!

Bottom line: This is a great gun, better than those I saw in the home improvement stores (IMHO) and I would recommend it to anyone who needs to do knockdown on a large area. Just remember the hose clamp or the gun will remind you!

We first bought a cheap pattern sprayer and it broken after a couple weeks. We bought this one and it works great. Easy to take the gun apart and clean it after use. Multiple holes for changing the sprayer pattern. Easy to hold the bucket when doing the ceiling. The only problem you need an extra hole clamp for the 45 degree elbow or else it will fall off.

I had 2 Goldblatts for over 30 years until they finally wore out. I automatically ordered another Goldblatt.. Big mistake! I had modified the first 2 guns with a PVC 45 bend so the guns worked better for ceilings. This new gun has a "rubber seal" where the gun meets the hopper. The hopper is impossible to keep on the gun, even with the clamp provided. They have changed the size of the hopper and gun just enough so a PVC 45 ell no longer fits. The gun is OK for walls, but not worth a darn for ceilings because of the improper angle you have to hold the gun at to get the mud to flow to the gun. In 6 texture jobs, the hopper came off the gun 6 times. Such a nice mess when it does! I cut my finger trying to clean the inside of the gun due to sharp casting edges left in the gun. This appears to be a cheap Chinese mess.
