This is Kevin at Expert Village. The easiest way to apply this texture is with a roller but you may want to use your hands or other means to get enough material on the roller or to get enough material up to the ceiling to roll it out. We are going to work in small 3 foot x 3 foot section and when using our roller, we are going to completely cover the roller with texture and we are going to move from section to section cross rolling the edges to avoid ridges. For a fine smooth texture, we are going to apply pressure to the roller to eliminate the stipple in the ridges. A lighter pressure on the roller produces a deep heavy texture.
