| Oct 1, 2012 at 14:33 | comment | added | Evan Carroll | @BMitch that said, if the stripes are joint compound and if the texture was not joint compound then you actually just answered my question: it wouldn't need to be primed. The stripes are on there really well, and none of the texture over the stripes came down. | |
| Oct 1, 2012 at 14:32 | comment | added | Evan Carroll | @BMitch Well, that raises the question what was the texture made out of? If the stripes are just joint compound, and if the texture is made of just joint compound why would it matter? I'd expect it to stick everywhere and for the stripes not to exist? | |
