I commented several months back on a bedroom ceiling that was an eyesore which I by the way had redone about 10 years before.. It was because of your videos I was able to redo it and it looks like a pro did it now. My daughter had asked me who I hired and I talked you up so much "The Vancouver Carpenter" Well I also had in my living room for many years two hair line cracks on my ceiling coming off my fire place. So I tackled that project last week. My daughter comes over and I am admiring it. She says "Who did you get to do that the Vancouver guy again" I said yep, yes I did and he did an amazing job!
14:20 “No wonder people are always scared of drywallers coming to their house” as carpet is being cut out of the way for corner bead installation! 🤣🤣🤣 Ben, keep stopping at nothing to share your knowledge with us! I am midway through my first ever drywall work, 5000sqft of the stuff. Couldn’t have made it anywhere without your help. My family loves how I am always saying, “Well, Ben said...”. My new best (make believe) friend!
You probably dont care at all but does anyone know a method to get back into an instagram account..? I was dumb lost the account password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me!
@Preston Jasper Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
I just want to say that I enjoy your videos. I never get tired of seeing the same thing done over. So even though you may have done other videos on corner bead I still like watching new ones. I mean after all how many videos can you do on drywall? Thanks and keep them coming.
next time I'm between jobs i want to take the time to work for a drywaller just for a week or two.. always wanted someone to share some skills like this. Just seems like a great skill to have.
Is there an inner corner bead? Any videos on repairing an inner corner? I had a plumber stop by and tear up corners in my bathroom and haven’t found any videos about repairing inner corners! Thanks!
Vancouver Carpenter: I need a video. I bought an sweet old redoak door. It is about a 2x4 size too short. The threshold is metal (non adjustable with nothing underneath) and currently goes straight to concrete. I would love to have a video on a couple suggestions and demonstration on how to make it work.
Paper-faced corners. What a deal! Beats the mailed-in all-metal beads (and stapled bull nose). Question: if the overhead section had run into a vertical section, would you miter or just leave an open corner?
Help me out on a question please: Are you supposed to precut the corner of the drywall slightly before installing cornerbead? My drywall contractor mentioned they do not have their drywall making a sharp edge/corner, they leave a 1/4” gap at the very corner so that the metal cornerbead flexes into position leaving a more rounded finish. This reduces those nicks you see at the very edge when its all painted.
All purpose mud is generally good for taping. It has adhesive mixed in. You're better off using a lightweight for topping/ floating as it sands easier than all purpose.
@Vancouver Carpenter. In the US what mud would you use for installing corner bead and taping? Hot mud like Durabond? I know everyone debates it, but I would appreciate your opinion. Thank you
So, I used vinyl beads for the first time. My local stores ran out of paper beads so I was wondering everyone's feelings about vinyl vs. paper. I do normally use paper, I prefer them over the others (steel, bullnose).
I do sign installation as one on the trades and over the years it is a curse. If it is not square and true. I can see it. Yep a trained eye is good and bad.
You Vancouver guys still using paper bead? Don't worry, there's a new product out of Ontario heading out there called "metal corner bead". Hope you get it soon.

Love your channel. I'm a retired computer programmer who's now found time to (finally) reno my basement. Your channel has been very useful for me.
I had to re-upload this video. The first one was uploaded in 360p😂😭
Dang rookie RUclipsrs... 🤣 Awesome work, as always. One of the best handyman channels out there.
Was wondering when the 1st upload would switch to HD, it never did :(

@Preston Jasper it worked and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thank you so much, you saved my account!
@Corey Chandler No problem :D
I told Google that I wanted to install metal corner bead like a boss. Here we are. Love this channel! Skate or die!

i'm hiring newbies!
Ben has been posting fewer videos lately because he was in Netflix's new hit Ratched, in case you hadn't noticed ;)
No way
Bro you do awesome work... Love watching your video's there coming in handy during my home renos. Thank you 👏👍🍻
You're a natural. Keep 'em coming!
I like paper faced corner bead, it can make having a nice sharp straight corner take about 10 minutes instead of 10 years of practice.
Is there an inner corner bead? Any videos on repairing an inner corner? I had a plumber stop by and tear up corners in my bathroom and haven’t found any videos about repairing inner corners! Thanks!
I have a clinch on tool that fastens the corner bead on square without paper then I tape the flange with paper tape. It is way faster.
So, the only adhesion is the mud itself??? No screws?
Thanks for the demo!

have you ever used "3M Spray 61 Corner Bead Adhesive" instead of compound under corner beads?
I was going to ask the same thing. I'm doing a bathroom remodel.
I always have a tendency to hold my pan in front of me while I'm scraping high spots off. Arrgh crusties in my mud!

He has other videos where beads run into each other. Check them out. Good stuff.
Why are all the best home improvement vids from Canada?
None of your damn business eh.
Actually, it’s because some of us care, eh...
Help me out on a question please:
Are you supposed to precut the corner of the drywall slightly before installing cornerbead?

This reduces those nicks you see at the very edge when its all painted.
So... seat the corner beads and let them dry... then do the fill and feather?
Definitely a dumb question, but are those metal saw horses that you’re standing on? 😅 if not what would those be called?
tip: when I get crumbs in the mud I wipe it on the outside of the end of the pan and the other mud is still good.
Is there an episode about coating L-trim bead?
How about a lesson on installing bullnose beads. I seem get a lot of voids.
Do you have to tape over the corner bead after it is installed or are you now done with it
On new drywall installation, do you mud and smooth the corners before adding the bead?
How about a video on taping and beading a window opening?
Is mud for taping different from all purpose or is it all purpose with just different consistency?
All purpose mud is generally good for taping. It has adhesive mixed in. You're better off using a lightweight for topping/ floating as it sands easier than all purpose.
Perfect... thank you...
You do a great job...thank you!!!
How did you build the corners back out to 45° where you said was bullnosed? I've got 2 to do on VOG board in a mobile home. Thanks
question, why somethimes you wear gloves when you mud?
@Vancouver Carpenter. In the US what mud would you use for installing corner bead and taping? Hot mud like Durabond? I know everyone debates it, but I would appreciate your opinion. Thank you
Which drywall store I can purchase the paper face corner bead online?
Thank you.
Are your inside corners done before you put the bead in?
So, I used vinyl beads for the first time. My local stores ran out of paper beads so I was wondering everyone's feelings about vinyl vs. paper. I do normally use paper, I prefer them over the others (steel, bullnose).
I know.. 2 years late… but I use vinyl too and surprised he doesn’t have a video using it. I see he used metal and paper.
Muy buen tutor
So it wasn't recorded with a potato after all

Did you know there is a video on face book with clips of you on it? Sponsored by "pay low shop" showing a drywall tool. Figured I'd let you know.
You Vancouver guys still using paper bead? Don't worry, there's a new product out of Ontario heading out there called "metal corner bead". Hope you get it soon.
Do u prefill the corners??
3:12 - "I've got this all pre-filled here"...
Always pre fill gaps everywhere. Corners, butts, joints, whatever. Use quickset
Is that paper covered metal corner bead a canada thing? Is it only in drywall shops?
Canada has both, and you can get it at places like Home Depot
Home Depot has it in the US, too
Now tell us how to fix a blister in a corner bead.
Damn it now I gotta redo my comment! Lol
This guy es chingon
I prefer metal corner beads using a crimper tool to install. Super fast.
Running corner bead in a reno is one of my least favorite things ever!!
I hate it so much.
also it is cheaper.
second
Use your words man
