Recommended Equipment:

9-inch paint roller with medium or short nap covers.
Long nap covers may produce more texture than desired.
Roller tray (or bucket screed if using 6-gallon containers)
Utility knife or single edge razor blades.  Razor Blades are sharper and thinner than the knife blades.
4-inch flexible putty knife.
3-inch nylon paint brush.
Extension handle for paint roller. (This gives you more reach when applying to ceilings or high walls)
2 - T-Bars to hold fiberglass mat up when adhering and embedding to ceilings.
