That is why thousands of painters use Textone, the plastic paint, for all texture finishing. That is why we urge you

to try Textone on your next texture job.

Textone does not hurt the hands, eyes or wood trim. It does not require hot water. It is ready to be applied 30 minutes after mixing. It may be kept easily in the pail overnight. It requires no special tools or training. It will give you any tone, in any texture, over any surface.

Try Textone first chance you have. You'll find it does "make
a better job easier."
