How to Use Spackle to Create a Plaster-Looking Wall
- 1). Mix Spackle with water until the consistency is spreadably thin.
- 2). Spread the Spackle over the wall, using a nap roller. Dab a sponge in the wet Spackle to create an uneven, patterned surface resembling dried plaster. Swirl a putty knife into the wet Spackle to further alter its appearance.
- 3). Wait several hours for the Spackle to dry. Rub any rough peaks or edges with sandpaper to smooth the surface.
- 4). Apply paint to the dried Spackle, if desired.
