What is the best way to feather in texture. I have to remove some molding and on either side of the molding is a very light texture. After the wall is painted there should not be any noticeable difference.
thanks

jeff, you need to match the pattern on the wall. A "very light" texture sounds like it could be a roll coat. Take a pc of scrap drywall and by thinning joint compound to just the right mix and using maybe a 1/2" nap roller, try to come up with a match on that scrap. You might need to fill in a depression where the trim or wall was before you texture. Or you coud sand or scrap that ridge. Using your roller loaded up, roll in the area w/o texture, running out lightly in the area around it. This will make the patched area larger but may fool the eye when you widen it. Trial and error, you can wipe off any fresh texture you apply.

I like to scrape it down lightly, then mix up some mud, slightly thin, and apply it with a wadded up paper towel, with a dabbing motion. Let it dry a little, and strike it down until it matches.
"very light texture" - What kind of texture: orange peel, knock-down, skip-trowel??????
