Certain types of texture are made from drywall muc. Acoustic
or cottage cheese ceiling texture is not. If you just want a
texture on the wall, you can roll on a thinned drywall mixture
to have "roll on texture". In my experience, it doesn't
matter a whole lot whether you use a 3/4" nap or a 1/4".
After a couple of rolls, it is a flat roller.
Experiment with different amounts of water and you can achieve
a pretty good roll on texture.
