Tim: For this job, Al and I suggest Binford's Acoustical Texture Spray.
Al: That's right. It comes in these ready-to-mix bags.
Tim: All you do is add water. Or, for a creamier texture, go with the buttermilk.
Al: Now, obviously you want to follow the instructions precisely, because too much water, and your mixture will not adhere to your ceiling. Tim, I've already mixed that.
Tim: Yeah... Just needs a bit more water, Al.
Al: I used a measuring cup.
Tim: We're not doing laundry, fella. I use a measuring system that never fails me - my eye.
Al: My eye!
Tim: Once you've mixed the compound, it's ready to load in the hopper. Give me a hand, Dennis. Perfecto. All right. When you get going, what you do is use short even strokes, keeping the gun about 2 feet from your ceiling. All right. [sprays] And you doubted me.
Al: I stand corrected. I would be proud to have a ceiling like this in my living room. [paint drops on Al's face]
Tim: Who let those pigeons in here?
