Tried skip trowel texture after years of using orange peel and I'm never going back
Finally had enough of fixing orange peel touch ups in my rental, so I tried skip trowel on a 12x12 bedroom last weekend. It hides drywall patches way better and took me maybe half the time once I got the mud consistency right. Has anyone else made the switch and found it works better for older walls?

I mean is a wall texture really that deep of a life lesson? It's just drywall mud not a metaphor for existence.

Yeah it's funny how the roughest finishes actually hide the most imperfections in old houses.

Oh man, @alice_allen5 you're dead on. I've had old plaster walls where the more you try to smooth them out, the more you find yourself chasing cracks.
