I really appreciate you NOT editing out stuff like blowing out the corner and the screw install problems because that's genuine and how some of my DIY projects go. Props to you and your content for being both educational and entertaining.
Great video. You made me burst out laughing when you tried three times on that screw😂. Just shows you are human like the rest of us too😁. Love all your videos. Your videos are truly genuine like you. Thanks for sharing! A hello from Saskatchewan.
I’m sure ppl have told you before but including your mistakes in your videos is EXTREMELY helpful for a novice. I am in the process of learning to do drywall and all the problems you’ve had in various videos, I’ve had too; now I know how to fix them. That’s the important part. I do industrial maintenance & always say “if you ain’t Fucking shit up, you ain’t getting shit done”. Keep doing your thing man. I appreciate it
"hard and firm but not soft".....and this is after three attempts to "screw it"....Oh the schoolboy humour, you cannot beat it. Your tips and tricks are the best for DIY'ers like me.
I have to say this. Been here before. Put screws 12 inch above and below before hammering it. If not it will cause hair line cracks you won’t see for a year or so. I did this to a house years ago. 14 corners 1 year later had a odd crack. Learned the hard way.
My wife and I have been adding a pantry to our house over the past month and you've single handedly made the whole process amazing. Thank you so much for all your amazing videos for us mere mortals to be able to follow along and do these sorts of projects.
Dude, this is such a valuable vid to me; I do a lot of repair work and the insights you reveal about fixing dented corner bead are brilliant: a measured and logical approach that doesn't get too involved and yeilds respectable results. Thanks!
Hello from SoCal! Just want to say how much your videos have helped me. Where I would have hired someone to come in and fix a damaged wall or ceiling, I now do it myself. It still takes a lot of practice, but I am getting better and still watch a ton of your videos. I'm to the point now where I'm helping to fix damaged drywall in my kid's homes. Thanks Vancouver Carpenter!
There's just something satisfying about patching a drywall hole or damage like this 🤷🏻♂️ I definitely used your videos on taping and skimming a small ceiling repair. Inside corners are so fun lol. Feather your edges is a nice mantra while working
Great job!! I really appreciate when professionals show their mistakes, because obviously it never goes as smoothly for us amateurs 😂😂 Keep up the great content!
I wanted to take the time to say thank you for all the videos you post Ben. My father was a painter/dry waller all his life and he recently passed away, hindsight he was a endless pit of knowledge, and your videos have also been a treasure trove of knowledge, allowing me to continue my work. Again, thank you
Dude, your videos are amazing. We're doing renovations and I'm doing as much myself as I can (with a few emergency calls to my contractor neighbor) -- your videos have been super helpful. Thanks!!
Thank you so much for this video. I've been trying to figure out how to repair one corner bead without having to spend a fortune higher a painter. Love your videos! I ready to save some money!
Project starts by fixings a busted corner: then turns into covering the stairs for a full repair! love the content. thank you for your walk-through explanations!
That's the way most things go in my house too. You fix one thing, and notice how nasty everything else looks in comparison, so you have to do a bit more.
Thank you for a great video! I'm single again and RUclips videos have been really helpful when it comes to small jobs I can take care of myself. Now I know what to do to repair some minor drywall repair. I've subscribed to your channel and I'll be coming back next time I need to find some info!
Looks great! I find using screws to secure loose corner bead can move the whole bead around making things worse. A crown stapler (or in a pinch a brad nailer) penetrates so fast the bead doesn't move. You can also fire 50 of them in 2 minutes and really tighten it down secure.
Nice work! --and I learned two new terms ... "proud" when a high spot or bump is synonymous with sticking your chest out ... and, of course, when the "X" is silent in "Splodin" :)
Nice repair job done young fella. I find it hard to get things done around the home. The stairway looked like it was machine gunned hehe. I sincierely hope you your family find enough money to buy your own home in the near future🙏. Love your work. Cheers mate. 🦘🐨🇦🇺
I have tiny little knicks on the edges of the walls. I'm finding it really hard to cover those with the mud properly. I'm going to try your tips and hopefully successfully finish it this time.
I cheat a little bit on corner nicks and use a little bit of mud with an outside angle tool. You can find it in the drywall section of the big box stores for like $9. Or just a couple passes with a 4” knife and a little sanding and everything comes out good as new.
@@Tonyhouse1168 thanks for the tips but I managed to do it with over packing the mud a bit and then drying it out faster with a hair dryer. Took a while but eventually it set and I was able to sand it down proper without the whole thing falling off
So many times I've had something 99% perfect, go for that last little bit...and ruin it. Sometimes you need to accept a realistic good-nuff level of done.
Really great video for those typical repairs we handyman encounter thanks Ben! I’ve encountered a few smashed corners where the paper gets puckered ( or its been painted over)and mud just won’t adhere the hair lines on either side of the corners. It’s noticeable as paint goes on but just won’t fill. Has this ever happened for you?
Iam a Drywall finisher. You clean off all the old flakey mud. Then use a clinch on which is made for corner bead. And then use RING SHANK Drywall nail . Much easier. Then 20 min durabond. Lightly scrape and sand. And skim it with number three lightweight sheetrock mud 👍👍. And if you want to be extra safe you can use fiber fuse drywall tape. And put that tape right on the seam of the corner bead and I'll never crack again guarantee it 😁😁👍👍
I've seen a crimping tool for attaching the metal bead to the drywall. The bead is held by the joint compound and floats with the wallboard. The crimping acts like a temporary clamp.
Ben, Thanks a ton for your videos! Today I combined two techniques. I had a lifted corner bead corner. I combined this video with the install video where you used a pneumatic stapler to fasten it down again. I can't say that I'm good at this, but your videos have helped me be less bad! Thanks!
I'm a diy I find easier to use vinegar to clean and quick rinse works great. Did forget to clean your pan use vinegar. Trowel rusty let it set in vinegar.
So sorry for the irrelevant comment. Just wanted to throw an idea your way. Something I'd really love someone like you to talk about (someone I know and trust to know exactly what they're talking about) is issues with pre-mix compound such as mold or really bad smells, and other issues that may occur with pre-mixed joint compound over time. Including information on if it affects the integrity of the compound, if it's creating any dangerous or toxic fumes, if it can be recovered, has to be tossed, etc. I've googled and searched for this on youtube but youtube has ABSOLUTELY NOBODY talking about this in a nice detailed and well explained way, and Google just has a bunch of people that I don't know or trust to know what they're talking about just saying to throw it out, while others, also not sure if I can trust them, saying it'll be fine. It looks like a bunch of people that are just guessing or they erroneously(maybe) "learned" something in the past and have just been doing it that way all their lives but never learned more about it and they never bothered to check if they were actually right or wrong. Sorry again for the irrelevant comment but I'm really hoping you'll see this so I wanted to leave it on your latest video. I've been doing electrical work and patching holes and have been trying to learn more about working with compound and drywall and you are the only channel I trust at this point and also seem to be one of the only channels with a plethora of information on the topic. Love your content and have learned a lot even though I still have a long way to go on the subject.
When I'm trying to keep an opened bucket of premix from going moldy, I spray some bleach based bathroom spray on top of the plaster before closing the lid. I also never return leftover premix back in the bucket.
@@chriswithrow3107 Yes, just a thin film of bleach stops mold from growing on the surface and doesn't seem to hurt the plaster. I've kept opened buckets of premix clean for a long time by doing this before I seal the lid again.
Great help, what do you mean by the compound right out of the box? Also, do you have a video for how to fix inside corners that are cracked ? thank you!
I need to know what brand of coffee you drank to do that high speed sanding. That's what I need for the mundane tasks of home repair. Thanks for sharing
Are you going to prime the repairs on the left side of the stairs or just paint it. If you decided to prime would you use a primer or use the paint let dry then paint the whole wall.
hi mr Degros, i was wondring if you have any reservation about putting quickset over regular air drying mud? I am a professional painter, and all of your videos have really helped me gain an appreciation for the trade that come just before mine. also, i gained some skillezz. Thanks a lot, and id like it if you could put out a video about doing stand up slides on a skateboard, like that would be really helpful once summer comes. ps make more drywall finishing videos!!
@April G.... OntarioRedNexx agree. Think of the distance from the hinge Pin to where the door stop contacts the door when stopping it as a lever arm length. So say a 32" door on average, vs your "hinge stopper" style contacts the door just 2" or so from the hinge pin(on any size door). This ratio means to stop the door, 32"/2" = 16 TIMES as much force applied to "hinge stopper" style vs wall mounted style out at edge of door. Hence, it doesnt stop the door abruptly, but kinda fades into the door stopping process(door more gradually stops once the hinge mounted stopper is contacted)....bc 16X more momentum induced energy needs to be stopped, compared to a wall mounted stopper. That 16X force is transferred into the screws that hold the actual hinges to the door casing(and hopefully at least 3, 3" screws into the framing behind the door casing.) Essentially, if you ever use the "hinge mounted" door stops, everytime they engage to stop your door, it is alot like using a 32" prybar on the hinge plate screws. Give it a few months (or years if you dont have kids)....and the door hinges will begin loosening from the casing and/or door itself. While examining the door hinge plates, forcefully open the door, and you will see the plates flex and move a little when the hinge stopper catches the door. Always a trade off. TINSTAAFL! : )
I'm trying to find a video or recommendation on how to repair punched walls. I have a places where an old room mate punched a wall but didn't break through the paper but the rock behind is definitely broken. It kind of flops about.

Ben Correct me if I'm wrong but I am certain that you said that in earlier videos that quickset cant be used to coat steel corner beads? or did you used the glue trick when you mixed the quickset and therefore made it a non issue? just wondering really. Thanks for all your content!
Have you heard of blue steel taping knife rusted makes for smoother finish? Some finishers swear by it. Also, dawn dish soap mixed in mud to prevent bubbles, that one sounds counter intuitive though.
Soaping the mud is an old trick. They make a product called No Pock that does the same thing. Soap has wetting agents called surfactants. Its for your top coat. Makes the creamier and pull easier. I am mainly a plasterer but when I get a drywall skip trowel job I put less about an ounce of in a bucket of AP or Plus 3 for texturing. There wouldn't be a reason to soap your first coat mud. I think orange scent works best lol
HELP PLEASE! I have an outside corner wall that was cracking so I got down to the bead and its rusted and split on the corner. Should I replace the whole corner with new metal? My first time doing anything like this?
I love all your vids..you freaking awesome..how old are you if you don't mind me ask..I've been doing this for a long time but you show me way better techniques..and I am better because of you..thank you..from chep..
My corners are really strange - instead of a metal corner bead, I have 2 separate metal strips on each side of the corner. (UK house built in the 90s). One of the metal strips is bent, but when trying to find a stud to screw into - I cannot for the life of me get the screws to bite. I have tried 50mm screws and they just spin.. In this case, I think I have to cut out the bent metal strip, and apply a corner bead into the gap... would you have any other suggestions?
This vid was great. Thanks for doing these. Do you have a vid (or suggestion) on how to float the edge when patching a textured wall? My blade bounces along the texture and looks terrible. Thanks!

"The more you mess with it, the worse it gets". Every amateur (like me) needs that printed out and retained somewhere prominent.
That quote needs to be printed on the tape, every 1/4", LOL!
Great video. You made me burst out laughing when you tried three times on that screw😂. Just shows you are human like the rest of us too😁. Love all your videos. Your videos are truly genuine like you. Thanks for sharing! A hello from Saskatchewan.

You do awesome videos, helped me a great deal! I knew nothing about drywall and my first repair did really well!
Thanks for teaching me and giving me confidence to do this myself in my home!!
Even though I know you can fix it in a minute ….. I gasped out loud at 7:06. Thanks for showing the entire repair. I am learning so much from you. 💝
Thanks! Have to do this this weekend and this is a huge help!
Excellent video as usual, learned so much from your videos I am builder in Uk but could never plaster, but drywalling is great.
Another great video , when I've repaired the same thing I used a block of wood which worked fine
Nice repair and a great colour.
Nicely done!

Could you do a video on different types of drywall? Green vs purple vs etc. And do they really make a difference.
Yeah because ive never seen purple yet and can trust joe the backyard mechanics advice
Green is moisture resistant, purple is moisture and mold resistant. Blue is blueboard for veneer plaster

Nice work! What colour did you choose?
I live the door stops that attach to the door hinge. Kids and dogs love to mess with the ones on the baseboards
This door is a garage entry and has bommer hinges. I can't pull the pins and ad one :(
Personally I think those just ruin doors, they’ll only catch so many times before it wracks the hinge loose
@April G.... OntarioRedNexx agree. Think of the distance from the hinge Pin to where the door stop contacts the door when stopping it as a lever arm length. So say a 32" door on average, vs your "hinge stopper" style contacts the door just 2" or so from the hinge pin(on any size door). This ratio means to stop the door, 32"/2" = 16 TIMES as much force applied to "hinge stopper" style vs wall mounted style out at edge of door. Hence, it doesnt stop the door abruptly, but kinda fades into the door stopping process(door more gradually stops once the hinge mounted stopper is contacted)....bc 16X more momentum induced energy needs to be stopped, compared to a wall mounted stopper.

Essentially, if you ever use the "hinge mounted" door stops, everytime they engage to stop your door, it is alot like using a 32" prybar on the hinge plate screws. Give it a few months (or years if you dont have kids)....and the door hinges will begin loosening from the casing and/or door itself.
While examining the door hinge plates, forcefully open the door, and you will see the plates flex and move a little when the hinge stopper catches the door.

V good idea 💡😽
I have a dented round corner. Can I use a round profile guide to create a layer of compound at the corner then sand it down to match?
Hey vc. What about taping that corner bead
How do you add 1 ' of new cornerbead to existing cornerbead when doing repairs? Or should I just replace entire length of 7'
Ok I need to go to bed so I can do my job out here in Vancouver instead of watching you do yours. Good content as always though!
11:15 should you use knife and pan or hawk and trowel?
Vancouver Carpenter: knife and trowel.
Ben Correct me if I'm wrong but I am certain that you said that in earlier videos that quickset cant be used to coat steel corner beads? or did you used the glue trick when you mixed the quickset and therefore made it a non issue? just wondering really. Thanks for all your content!
Missed the screen twice lol you starting the weekend early lol
Sure hope that was "Wife Approved" color paint :)
We need something hard and firm for the splodin?
Have you heard of blue steel taping knife rusted makes for smoother finish? Some finishers swear by it. Also, dawn dish soap mixed in mud to prevent bubbles, that one sounds counter intuitive though.
Soaping the mud is an old trick. They make a product called No Pock that does the same thing. Soap has wetting agents called surfactants. Its for your top coat. Makes the creamier and pull easier.

What quick set do you recommend or use for this project ?
HELP PLEASE! I have an outside corner wall that was cracking so I got down to the bead and its rusted and split on the corner. Should I replace the whole corner with new metal? My first time doing anything like this?
What’s the difference between quick set and all purpose?
8:24 info on that sander with vacuum attachment. Does it work? You recommend it?
Great work. Do you have any videos explaining when to use mesh and paper tape?
When you use mesh tape, you HAVE to use Hot mud, NOT all purpose or it WILL fail.
Yes. I find myself saying, “Boogers!” out loud and randomly throughout the day as well...lol...and not just when I’m painting...

I've always been told not to use drywall screws on corner bead. Would it be wise to use flat nails instead?
what was that vaccuum attachment for the sanding?
This also work's when doing auto body dents, make sure to use durabond tho lol
My corners are really strange - instead of a metal corner bead, I have 2 separate metal strips on each side of the corner. (UK house built in the 90s).

For rentals, sure.
