It says don't over fill....well you have to keep the sprayer moving. I ran mine on a pancake porter cable compressor. 23-25 lbs is what this sprayer called for. I did a orange peel on walls and a orange peel knockdown on ceiling. Don't buy the wagner sprayer with turbine....I bought one for a upstairs bathroom project.

was the ceiling knock down a preference or was it lumpy and kinda needed it to be knocked down?
also, you got a tip on recipe how to mix it so its just right? or is it something you have to do some test sprays and take a best guess at?
also, is there a certain distance you found to be the best so it doesn't go on too heavy? or is it also something you have to do some test spots?
