Texture material for covering a repaired portion of a textured surface

1. A texturing system for applying a desired texture pattern on a drywall surface having a pre-existing appearance, comprising:

texture material comprising a pH adjusting material and at least one pH change material;

a dispensing system comprising a container assembly and a propellant material; wherein

the propellant material and the texture material are arranged within the container assembly such that the propellant material pressurizes the texture material;

the dispensing system is placed in an open configuration to allow texture material to flow out of the container assembly and onto the drywall surface;

the dispensing system is configured such that a visible physical structure of the texture material dispensed onto the drywall surface corresponds to a desired texture pattern;

when the texture material is initially applied to the drywall surface, the texture material defines a first pH level, with the first pH level being at least partly defined by the pH adjusting material such that the pH change material defines a first appearance; and

after the texture material solidifies in the desired texture pattern on the drywall surface, the texture material defines a second pH level such that the pH change material defines a second appearance, where

the second appearance is perceptibly different from the first appearance and the pre-existing appearance, and

the desired texture pattern is unchanged.

arranging a propellant material within the container assembly;

arranging a pH adjusting material within the container assembly such that the pH adjusting material at least partly defines a first pH level of the texture material;

placing the container assembly in an open configuration to allow the propellant material to force the texture material out of the container assembly and onto the drywall surface such that a visible physical structure of the texture material on drywall surface corresponds to a desired texture pattern;

allowing the texture material on the drywall surface to dry, where when the texture material changes from the first pH level to the second pH level, the dry texture material defines a second pH level such that the at least one pH change material changes appearance, the appearance of the at least one pH change material when dry is different from the pre-existing appearance; and

the desired texture pattern is unchanged.

a pH of the texture material changes as the texture material changes from the wet form to the solidified form;

an appearance of at least one appearance characteristic of the at least one material forming the pH change material changes as the pH of the texture material changes to form a changed appearance, where the changed appearance differs from the pre-existing appearance;

a visible physical structure of the texture material on the drywall surface does not change as the texture material changes from the wet form to the solidified form.

13. A texture material as recited in claim 12 , in which the appearance characteristic of the texture material associated with the at least one material forming the pH change material in both the wet form and the solidified form differs from a similar appearance characteristic of the drywall surface.

15. A texture material as recited in claim 12 , in which changes in appearance of the pH change material result in change in at least one appearance characteristic that is visible to an unaided eye.

16. A texturing system for applying a desired texture pattern on a drywall surface, comprising:

texture material comprising first and second pH change materials and at least one pH adjusting material;

a dispensing system comprising a container assembly and a propellant material; wherein

the propellant material and the texture material are arranged within the container assembly such that the propellant material pressurizes the texture material;
