You guys drinking this stuff?

From another thread, the Acrytech people say to apply HB at the rate of 160 square feet per gallon.
Ballpark, this is about 1 quart per T48.
My biggest worry is that when I'm dead and gone, my wife will sell my toys for what I said I paid for them.

What type of roller did you use to create the texture?

A sheet of cheapo dropcloth plastic, thinner the better, cut approximately the same size as the panel in question. Roll on a fairly heavy coat, stick the plastic on it. Lightly rub it with your hands. The more wrinkles the better. Peel it off. Takes a little practice. If you don't like it the first time, roll on some more and do it again.
If it's too loud, you're even older than me! Like me.
