How to Make Knockdown Broken Leather Wall Texture
Vložit
- čas přidán 9. 09. 2024
- Artexing creative finishes onto walls is a job easy to do for any DIY enthusiast, no specialist tools required.
In this video, I use a 'bath sponge' to make a 'heavy broken leather mud texture effect /pattern'
Then I smooth it out using a caulker (obtained from ebay, or use a plastering trowel or a large scraper or a tapers knife) creates a superb wall covering and is easy to paint
Thank you for watching
This texture helps to hide imperfections on walls and ceiling alike. Great tutorial video. Cheers from NYC 🗽
Hi Logan
Thank you for commenting
Yes the broken leather wall texture does help hide uneven surfaces. And looks really effective once applied
Happy you found the tutorial useful
Have a great day
Dale
Thank you Dale for the Lovely tutoring on leather pattern. keep it up
Claude Cotroneo you are welcome. Thank you for commenting have a great day
Dale thank you so much... We just had a real bad flood in Louisiana with over 100K houses flooded and mine was one. The house was built in 1957 and it looks like it was textured with a buffalo skin roller. Your video is the closest i have seen to the texture in the house. We cut to the 4' level had 22" in water. Just a big THANKS from the bayou state.
Hey Tim. I feel for the natural mishaps that are occurring in certain States currently. I wish you guys all the best and I am rooting for you to pull right on through. I know you folks are strong people and together you can make it. If I can help somewhat please let me know. Just message me or post here. Take great care for you and your family and all of your neighbours there in Louisiana. All the best, from South Wales and the UK
Toledo bend dam. I live in Rosepine. Sorry to hear
Dale Ovenstone it worked great. Can't tell where the old sheet rock "4 foot level" and the new meets. It took a little time but we'll worth it Thank You so much.
You are most welcome, Tim, it is great things are turning out in your favour. Have a great day and a prosperous 2017
happycanadianguy This pattern, the broken leather, is ideal for ceilings as well as walls. Not so much the bark, but the bark pattern is usually textured onto walls.I hope this helps
Awesome! First vid I watched and its perfect for my bathroom

Круто!
good Job !
Hi Dale great video, there's not much stuff available on this nowadays so was great to see. Can you explain to me how you got the texture and consistency of the textured coating (which I can't seem to get at the moment). Did you stir it all up by hand and do you keep adding water? Have you got any tips on this? Thank you !
Hi Michael
When mixing texture from powder form, always follow the recommendations on the packaging for mixing, usage etc;
Put in clean cold water into the bucket, add the powder then mix to a thick consistency;
this ensures you are able to mix out all the lumps.
Leave this mixture to settle for around 10 minutes
Then you can begin adding small amounts of water whilst mixing -
What you are looking for here is to create the desired consistency for the exact pattern you wish to achieve
Not forgetting say for instance, if you were to create a COMB TEXTURE, the texture used would be of a thicker consistency
Whereas, if you were to create a BROKEN LEATHER, TREE BARK, STIPPLE (the wetter patterns) then the consistency would need to be quite thinner
Please check out my different videos as I cover a range of varied drywall / artex patterns, and also show the consistency for each pattern
Anyways, I hope this helps please let me know
Have a great day, and thanks for commenting
Nice
Thanks
Saludos Sr Dale, sus trabajos son espectaculares, me gustaria aprender a hacerlos, tiene ud cursos online tsobre sus bonitos trabajos? me gustaria tener informes. Gracias.
Hi there Ricardo. At the moment the learning material is only in English. I do appologise but I hope you enjoy viewing the videos. Have a great day and thanks for commenting
Dale, are you using artex if not, what is the name and make of the texture material you are using in this demo. Secondly what roller are you using to apply the texture to the wall, is it sponge, wool or cloth and what size of roller do you recommend and what size pile. Many thanks, brilliant tutorial by the way..
+Cliff Carlo Artex or Wondertex are my preferences
Cheers Dale
Yes I would like to know the same as you please Dale
Hi Dale, can you tell me what type of roller you used please 🙏
Hi Sarah. The roller for applying the texture is a normal 9" (or 12") medium knap mostly used for paint application. Hope this helps, thanks for commenting

Hi Dale. Could this or the bark pattern be used on a ceiling?
what does it look like when you saturate a wall with texture from hopper heavy then tool it a bit then knock it down
wonderful can i mix a color paint with this or after i fished color the shape?
Shaimaa Ali Over the years, we have experimented with the notion of adding a colour to the texture when mixing it, so that we have the required shade, and would save us from painting the texture after the job is complete. Hasten to say, to colour texture mixture does take a lot of dye, so therefore we concluded it is always best to paint the texture afterwards, instead. I hope this helps, and any questions just fire away. Regards, Dale
thanks a lot , i'am from Egypt does the texture like Latex_Putty?
Shaimaa Ali Yes the consistency should be quite like a runny custard, for creating a 'broken leather pattern.' But not too runny. Please check out my other videos for consistency of texture to create various patterns. Hope this helps Shaimaa, please let me know. Regards, Dale
Hi Dale great video. It's exactly what I need. My only concern is having read that Artex used to contain asbestos! Am I right in assuming that this product no longer contains it? I have purchased a bag of Artex Finishing Powder from B and Q, but considering returning it from what I have read. Thanks.
Hi there Hai. Many building products and materials used to use asbestos based, but this substance was taken out and banned from these products many years ago. You are safe the texture you have purchased is fine. I hope this helps have a great day, and thanks for commenting
@@Artexing You're a star Dale! Many thanks for the reassurance. 🙂
You are welcome
What product are you using for the texture? also do you mix with your paint or texture 1st and let dry then paint?
Janet Chessor this particular make of texture product I am using is available here in the UK; a texture (either powder, which you mix with water to the required consistency, depending on what pattern you are attempting. Or some texture come's ready mixed (which is more expensive compared to powder, but ideal for patching in texture patterns) and is created for finishing ceilings and walls, it's properties are quite flexible (unlike finishing plaster to smooth over walls & ceilings) and is ideal for finishing surfaces with textured patterns, as it allows a practitioner to 'draw tools through it.'Once applied to the ceiling or wall. (Such as combs and brushes and rollers and sponges etc)
I do not know which country you are from, but there usually are similar texture material products available for patterning ceilings and walls. The procedure is; seal/prime the surface to diminish porosity. Let the sealer/primer dry completely prior to texturing onto. Finally, lay texture onto the surface in rows, pattern, then roll more texture, then pattern until completion. Thank you for your interest, and your comment, Janet
+Dale Ovenstone I think he was asking for the NAME of the product Dale.
+Cliff Carlo Or she, sorry.
Great , are you from cardiff.
Thanks for commenting. How did you guess I am from Cardiff?
@@Artexing Caerdiff accent Got one myself, best of luck.
I'm here half for the techniques, half for the accent! My ancestors were from near the Welsh/English border, Tilston, Malpas. But I think that's about 175km from Cardiff.
Do you think I could wipe down wood wall paneling with like a TSP and then prime it to then use this process? Can I just add water to the premixed buckets of joint compound or do you really need a (brand info please??) of a self mix joint compound??? I need advice....
David, thanks for commenting. It is not recommended to texture onto wood (as many wooden panels are quite flexible) but the procedures are, to wash off any grease, dirt and loose material, then to prime/seal the panel with a substance (here in the UK, often used is a product called UNIBOND, which is also know as a PVA sealer, which acts in 2 ways: To diminish porosity, and to bond an agent (the texture, or plaster) to the surface. As normal, always follow the manufacturers instructions on their container. I am not sure if this answers your question fully. Please let me know. Regards, Dale
Hey there! For Accross the pond !!! Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful videos and all your knowledge. It really is wonderful for inexperienced folks to be able to see how you do the work! I think in gonna lightly sand and apply a product called flex crete here in the states it's a poly infused morter mix for setting tiles onto wood subfloors... Stays flexible ... Getting the Giles up is a chore.., when you wack them with the sludge the whole floor bounces!!! 😀😜😜. It is quite pricey though... A fello told me to add elmers glue... Like bonding adjent to regular morter mix....????
Yeah, trying to cover those groves in the cheap wood paneling to get a half decent and cost effective coat of paint on my new walls
I can’t find anything on Google for cliff carlo 😩
Hi Sarah. So many questions unanswered, such as 'who sh&t JR? and, what really happened to Len Fairclough. Did they really land on the moon? And I can't believe it's not butter? But let me ask you this, WHO IS CLIFF CARIO? Thank you for commenting, hope you find your answer, and have a great day
Hey mr ricky im just wondering if i can texture over a painted wall or i should skim coated first
Hey mr ricky
I would smooth the wall first as texture tends to shrink slightly once dried and the old pattern beneath may show through
To texture over a painted wall, depends if the paint has adhered to the surface, and also holds off any porosity
You may still need to seal/prime the wall first, to help diminish the possibility the wall surface does not draw water from the texture too quickly
Have a great day, thanks for commenting

how soon after can you add paint?
+Diamond Vasquez Hi there Diamond, thanks for commenting. I am not quite sure of your question so I will therefore provide unto you, 2 answers, and I will go a little into depth
1: it really is not worth adding dye/colouring to the texture mixture as you are mixing the stuff, as you will need quite a bit of dye/colouring to make drastically colourful changes that are sometimes required (but, there might be special additives out there that fully do the job, I am not sure, and if you are a manufacturer of dyes to add to textures, please do comment here and let us know about your product)
2: Once the texture pattern has fully dried on the wall/ceiling, (this all depends on background suction (porosity) environmental temperature & surface temperature, which brand of texture is used, interior walls vs interior partition walls) and then the texture can be painted
I hope this helps, please let me know
Just a note (one (of a few) important issue of why paint flakes off textured ceilings/walls)
The new texture pattern, once it has dried completely onto the surface, becomes very porous, and to paint a porous surface with a thick consistency paint, instead of thinning thick paint down with water for the first coat, the thick consistency of the paint will just lay on the surface (instead of seeping into the surface)
The first coat of paint is the key that must stick fully, and also ensures any further coats of paint sticks to that previous coat, for a flake free texture painted finish that is second to none
Under no circumstances, though, should you use a 'shiny/sheen finish' paint for the first coat over new texture, (or new plaster) (or patches that have been repaired with filler, as these are porous, too) A shiney paint will barely absorb into the porous texture but will lay over the surface and create a effect of 'being able to peel off in sheets dried paint from the finished texture;
For painting texture patterns on ceilings & walls it is common practice to use an interior ceiling/wall paint (sometimes called MATT finish emulsion) This paint would have a matt finish, and not a shine, or a sheen once dried
Not recommended to use for painting texture is oil based paints such as wood paints gloss undercoat etc. If you cannot wash your brushes and equipment out with anything but water, don't paint over your textures with it
When you open the (water based paint) tin/pot, if the consistency is too thick, tip some into a paint trough and mix it with clean cold water to create a thinner consistency paint
When a thin consistency of MATT interior emulsion (paint) is rolled, brushed or sponged over the texture (once it has dried,) the effect of the amount of water added to the paint will aid in carrying pigments of the emulsion to seep/absorb into the new and porous texture
The same problem is when folk new to texturing (especially comb patterns) experience the texture drying off to quick whilst they are attempting to make patterns with comb tools
Correct ceiling wall preparation is the vital KEY however method you choose to decorate, plaster, wallpaper, texture, and even paint interior walls and ceilings. Preparation definately is the key!
I hope this helps, Diamond, please let me know
Regards, Dale
Is that prep a good wipe down with TSP or is there a better product out there? Thanks David
I think I liked it better before the knock down.🤔
Yes it is personal preference. Then a smoother finish feels better. Thanks for commenting have a great day
Nop isn’t good....not look like knockdown ..the bubble looks big big... and other things it’s looking a weaves ...sorry not good
Sorry to disappoint you Gil Hierro. Thanks for viewing and commenting. Have a great day
