			‘Slapbrushing’ is a technique using the wooden texturing brush and is much simpler to carry out on a ceiling. This is an instance where the longer bristles of the wooden brush are beneficial.

			Step 1 – Prepare room Ensure the rest of the room/area is covered. This can get messy.

			Step 2 – Attach handle Attach the wooden texturing brush to a broom handle with a corresponding diameter. The handle is beneficial for working on hard-to-reach surfaces.

			Step 3 – Apply product Apply your chosen product using a roller.

			Step 4 – Coat brush Apply more product to the texturing brush, using the roller.

			Step 5 – Begin ‘slapbrushing’ process Whilst still wet, begin to ‘slap’ the brush against the surface. Use a reasonable amount of force (you want the product to leave the brush, but not damage the ceiling or wall).

			Step 6 – Rotate brush in-between ‘slaps’. As you bring the brush away from the surface, rotate it 90° and move along the surface a small amount.

			Repeat this over the whole surface, reapplying product to the brush when necessary.

			Step 7 – Check your work Ensure there are no lines or uneven patches and fill in if necessary.
