An aerosol device for dispensing texture material for matching existing
acoustical ceiling texture. The device comprises a container, a valve
assembly, a dispensing nozzle, a hardenable material, and pressurized
inert gas as a propelling mechanism. The hardenable material and
pressurized inert gas are placed into the container. When the valve
assembly is opened, the inert gas forces the hardenable material out of
the container through the dispensing nozzle. The dispensing nozzle
diverts at least a portion of the hardenable material exiting the
container to develop a spray suitable for the application of the
hardenable material onto the ceiling surface being textured. The
hardenable material preferably comprises at least water, filler, binder,
and polystyrene particles. The inert gas is preferably nitrogen.
