        "text": "Matching existing texture requires identifying whether your wall has orange peel, knockdown, skip trowel, or a smooth finish, and testing application methods beforehand. Texture consistency is altered by adjusting compound thickness, spray pressure, or trowel angle. Before applying texture to your wall, a technician will typically test the pattern on a scrap piece of cardboard to match the density and droplet size of the surrounding surface. Feathering the edges outward beyond the patched area prevents a visible raised ridge around the repair.",
