Step 3: The first step is to spray the texture on the wall. Its only a line so the spray has to spread over a much larger area than the line damage. Fig.5 show the first layer of texture on the wall.

Step 6: Fig.9 shows another application of the texture on  the wall. It will take 3-or-4 application to make sure that the wall is the same level. Too much an the wall will have a bump to little and the line will show when painted.
