Wel-Cote texture will cover most hairline cracks. If a crack exists due to structural shifting, it’s a good idea to patch with self-adhesive mesh tape and joint compound. Similarly, deep cracks and holes should also be repaired prior to texturing.
Texture may also be used to cover up poorly done tape joints. If, however the tape is coming loose along the drywall joints, these joints should be repaired before texturing.
Dirty or grease-stained surfaces should be cleaned prior to texturing. Tri-sodium phosphate (TSP) is an excellent product for this purpose. Allow 24 to 48 hours for this to dry before priming.
