I watch the videos 60% for instruction and 40% for a damn good laugh.
42yr old journeyman finisher for 3 yrs & 7 yrs finishing for a local company and i totally agree with you about a hawk or pan & a 4"/5" knife. The man i trained under never used/uses a Bazooka a box or a Banjo. He is faster pulling tape by hand than anyone running a Bazooka ive seen with less dry bubbles or peeling corners. He made a reel for the tape out of the metal bucket handle, slit the bottom of the bucket to feed tape through and pulled a 100' at a time. I would squeeze the tape/mud behind him and am a way better finisher now bc of the talent he had and taught me. He said anyone can use cheater tools or mud a tape seam but a real finisher is known for his corners. Dont get me wrong, glazers are incredible tools but taping and getting true corners w a hawk/pan and a 4",5",6" knife takes skill. So, i totally agree with your video and thank you for your teachings. Its just sad to see how much the trade is dying. Im basically the youngest one doing it around my area. Kids now a days don't want to do hard, dirty, and not so good paying work. I take pride in what i do and my 5" knife never leaves my back pocket. Unless im using it or drop it,but like you of course i have Back up in my pocket. Dropping a knife when on stilts, not so good. Thanks again. Sorry, i draw the line at finishing, no wallpaper for me. Lol
Youve never see a real tool man then you cant beat a pro bazooka runner!
@@jremy89 sorry for the confusion but I was saying that he was faster than anyone I have seen. Being the people ive been on jobs with who were runners. I know that a Bazooka runner, especially one with a mud feeding machine hooked up to it, is definitely faster than anyone pulling and laying tape by hand. We know that time is money when you're doing a job that pays by the foot and not the job. Just wanted to clarify that. I've definitely seen people in the industry who can run a Bazooka w/ a 500' roll of tape in minutes. Same thing goes for someone hand glazing corners vs a self feeding glazer. Impossible for anyone laying by hand opposed to a glazer. That's all. I have to put some pictures of my work for people to see. I've done some pretty incredible and some interesting jobs. Have a great day and may you all be blessed
There is a tool for that now - it’s called the “Tape Buddy”. It’s on Amazon and saved me DAYS when I was taping my basement using Jeff’s A-Z videos.
I love this guy he is the Bob Ross of home DIY
Everything i know, I've learned from you! 3 bedrooms done, ground up and almost 1 bathroom under my belt! Thank you!!!!❤❤❤
Great job! Awesome to see Jaclyn Empower herself. Cheers!
You're my poison for learning how to do things, I am subscribed and appreciate your videos. Using form on the corners is something I'll have to try.
Make sure that the foam is compatible with water from the mud.
Thanks.@@brucem.cameron1095
Always a pleasure to watch and listen to you Jeff, thank you for the education. 🥶🖤🔔👍🏻💗
I'm dreading bedding the tape in one corner but your video has motivated me to finally finish it.
Had to do a short notice favor painting a large wheelchair accessible bedroom and bathroom. Never would have made the deadline without your painting, caulking and drywall repair tips. Thanks!
I used foam on my last house for a few big gaps thanks to your tip. Although, if you use a roller and a corner angle head you get sharp corners that are embedded. Though the cost isn't justified for a homeowner.
I agree on the corner finishers (the flexible sheet metal ones) though. The rounded inside corners drive me nuts.
But I do lile the intimacy of taping with a knife. It's like having a conversation with a corner, lol.
I really enjoy watching you l have never done drywall before but watching you gave me the confidence to attempt to fix a hole in my wall😊
I love the use of the spray foam! I definitely subbed💚 thank you for your knowledge.
Thank you Jeff! Great stuff is great stuff!
Thanks for your videos and common sense way.
ooh I missed this by an hour! Thanks for sharing. You're the best ! Blessings from Australia 🙏🏻🙂
Cheers to our Aussie friends!
I always use foam on drywall, I used to use all sort of quick set or mud to fill in the corners and the gaps than on certain areas you had to do it 2 3 times cause it was drying and soacking in. Or. Cracking big times. With foam bam like you do in this video. Mud tape that's it

Thank you for these videos! I have learned so much!
I'm so glad!
Hi Jeff, Have you seen the Stanley FatMax 18mm Snap Off Knife. It holds 6 extra blades inside like a guns magazine. If you snap a blade, just move the slider back and it loads the new blade for you.
Perfect time for a refresher. I start drywall mudding for my entire house tomorrow
Best of success to you Daniel!
How did it go Daniel?
@@TrekieGal actually pretty well. Found a few small blemishes after I got it painted but overall I’m happy with it
Nice work for sure....Lets Go 🛠🛠
haha man i learnt these tricks doing my house reno a few years ago, couldnt afford a plasterer and im glad because i bed it like you did and it came up mint!! hand corner trowels are ok but bit of a pain, but yes only one side at a time on a corner!!! 😅
As a DIY homeowner, I would highly recommend first time, or inexperienced homeowner drywallers to consider a paperfaced metal inside corner and outside beads. They are relatively cheap $4-5 each, so if you are only doing small renovations, one or two rooms or a closet it will cost an extra $40-$50, but the amount of headache it will save from not having to deal with improperly bedded corners, or bubbling is worth the cost IMO. Plus it gives you so many easy options to hang a magnetic laser level from any corner.
It's a while I haven't seen you post, love your videos very helpful clearly explain
I have uploaded a video every saturday for 7 years. you got some catching up to do. LOL. Cheers!
Great videos
Great pro pointers again
Glad you like them!
Did you see studpack with the drywalling? Anyway, i used foam in my corners becouse i saw you do it long time ago.
Looks great and strong!
I swear, Jeff is like the Bob Ross of drywall and paint
the music tho. vibin with home renovision lets go
I measure tape length plus an inch, then fold the tape and pull same length for each additional corner. Tear at each fold crease. Saves time, tape and gives you a straight edge on each piece.
Hiya, your a riot 😂, question thinking about my garage floor, painting ? Right now it’s concrete looks sad, I see a lot of horror stories with Behr garage floor paint, pealing etc., do you have and ideas ? Thanks Glenn
Any tips for plaster walls? Do you use paper on plaster walls?
Also, how do you hang pictures, shelves (anchors) on plaster walls?
Question ❓ I was wondering can go board be used as drywall,in the specifications States it has no problem bonding to drywall mud
I found another channel you should guest on! It's called Hot Ones and they do interviews while eating hot wings. But I also kind of don't want you to go on there as the last wing is exponentially hotter than the first. Dude does really good interviews with people you'd never expect to see on there though.
Director, can I use 90 to apply some thickness? Is it solid? Can I mix colors with it or on top of it? I want a material close to Venetian plaster. What do you advise me? Thank you for everything you provide.
If anyone is going to foam their joints, my preference is strongly to get a $50 foam dispenser and the large cans. I can get much better control (less mess) and I've always been able to stop and start without clogging the nozzle and wasting half a can.
The bazooka and roller and flusher has been around for 40 years just about as long as drywall has been around
Those corners need a solid strong backing. During any settling, these larger separations filled with foam will eventually crack> I had a guy come work for me and he did that on a couple new additions. After he did it I told him not to do it anymore. One was for a friend the other for a customer that I did not know. Within 5 years both of these had a hairline crack in a wide crack filled with foam. Always fill those bad ones with some hot mud real fast and never have trouble in the future. I am 59 years old and have owned over 150 rental homes for over 20 years and built new homes for 40 years. I have been able to see how repairs did through the years to change my quality for the better. There is no strength behind those joints, you may get lucky but you are gambling.
Good comment. I was wondering about that and us DIY'rs have time for 20 minute mud to cure. Plus, that foam is expensive and don't ever get it on your hands, it only comes off when your skin sheds.
Do you know of a tan colored mud I can find here in the USA? The videos where I've seen you use this after prime checking were all done when you were still up in Canada.
Yooo that Usher music at minute 11 caught me off guard 😂
Most of the videos I've seen of people using automated tapers had someone following the taper doing the bedding. They just don't show you that part in reels because it isn't awe-inspiring. I'm not sure how you would even be able to do it without that part as the tape joint would be proud of the surface a bit.
Can i do this on an a corner thats already been plastered and painted? The corners in my flat are horrendous and are out of shape. I have to paint all the walls the same colour, because its impossible to get a straight line with how bad the corners are.
I always wonder why foam could not be used but, well it can 👍🏻
What about roofing project 🙏🏻
Suely wish you could do some work around my home
Doesn’t expansion foam keep expanding? If you’ve been using for 20 years it’s probably alright
I just removed a 1980s windows valance (popcorned even) and now I'm prefilling for taping. What do you do when a screw will not go in flush? It's pretty stuck now and I can't get it go back or forward. I think I need a more powerful drill, mine is a Black and Decker from the early 2000s. The screwhead is sitting a hair above the board. I'm hoping that when I skim coat the whole thing to meet the existing wall that it gets filled in. Wish I'd see this video before I made my 20 minute mud mess this afternoon and did all the prefilling!
Take the screw out. Redo.
You said “nasty but joint” 😂
What is your suggestion for finishing drywall that's butted against a brick and mortar plastered wall?
spray prime the plaster with killz and then tape as normal. Cheers!
Please show close-up view of your work. Thanks
What do you about some people out there who say you don’t need to tape and mud corners? Instead they promote caulking the corners
Just use dura bond no scraping required
Just wondering: can you use sheet rock 90 for tapping? I have a small patch and i have a bag of 90 and would prefer not to go buy a tub of machine mud
I almost always use hot mud for taping. Makes it faster to get to the top coat, and it hardened a lot harder than the sandable 24 hour stuff. Makes a stronger joint less likely to crack.
@PSNDonutDude thanks for the response. I used it last year for a patch and it worked great. Even found it easier to sand. Just wasnt sure if it did a good seal with paper tape or not. Ill give it a shot next time
what kind of mud is that?
If you plan on using a spray texture on your drywall how much do you have to finish it
2 good coats and clean the edges.
Prefill large gaps with hot mud would make a stronger joint, would it not?
the fill in the corner does not actually provide strength. its just there to keep the tape wet while setting the corner. foam is faster and even acts like an adhesive to bond the 2 sheets together.
Pre set mud instead of foam
Why would you need to finish your angles if you are wall papering
During the stairwell renovation, I found a 1x6“ gap from the stair riser to the drywall. Filled it with foam, let it set. Removed the excess, mudded over it & lightly sanded. You’d never know there was a gap after I finished. Primed & painted. Perfect every time !!
Well done Bill!
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY all thanks to you & your videos Jeff.
👍👍
Is this a repost?
Does putting a dehumidifier in the area make the mud crack?
Depends how thick you’re mud is and how powerful your dehumidifier is. If you’re gonna use one id keep it in the 45-55% range
I did the foam thing, had to rip it all out because all my joint failed
I need help to do the job. Anyone from Skokie il?
“Bedding” the tape, not _embedding_ the tape?
By the way; the Canadian Amazon link just leads to an error code 500 on the Amazon Canada page. 😕
What is the difference between the red, blue, and green lid bucket of plaster?
Not sure about red, green is all purpose and has a lot of glue in it is better for taping, can be tough to sand. Blue lid is lightweight and made for 2nd/3rd coats and easier to sand
@@bradgehman859 thank you.
I dated a guy a when I was in high school who was a taper. He used the fancy tools. My dad, a true tradesman, never had an ounce of respect for him 😂 Dad was right tho.
welp… this video was a week late for me haha but i still did good… took a while but hey it is what it is 🤣
after watching this video the only thing i didnt do was the expansion foam and ill take that for other projects going forward! I used the 4 inch as i figured it was just common sense to make a nice tight corner. Love that I did exactly what Jeff did!
How to do drywall volume 2513272.
😂😂$4.38 for a can of foam, I don't know which HD u shop at in Fl., my area like $15.00 a can.
I use a 6" knife to apply tape, 4" for tight areas, smaller knifes for smaller areas, then 12" and 16" and for Big areas a Float.
Their is a better way to use your knife to apply mud in you corners, whis is faster, but I use a Pan, never could use a Hawk.
You should've just firred that bad corner out and you wouldn't have that bow to begin with just a couple mins of work problem solved

Hi. I'm a woman, who went through a 3 months of nightmare, when a contractor did my basement renovation. He didn't want to talk to me, he pretended I wasn't there. I've interviewed about 8 contractors, and all of them!!!! asked they will only speak to my husband. I've said that's impossible, he is working, he's never home. Bottomline is, why all contractors are such male chauvinists? Why do you guys don't want to speak to women? ❤❤ Trust me, I'm very conservative old fashioned girl, I'm not a feminist, but it was so obvious, such painful experience for me to deal with male contractors😢😢😢
Don't hire chauvinist pigs next time.
It’s a real shame that these chauvinists are still out there. I’d tell them that if you won’t talk to me, then take a hike right up your butt !! Bye !!
Don't hire them if they won't talk to you. I have dealt with this too, it's very frustrating. I do most of the hiring or DIY in my home. Often I prefer to DIY to avoid contractors who are sloppy and or try to take advantage bc as a woman they assume I know nothing about construction/repairs. 😢
ok so you gave a fiam tip thn no tips tricks on handling mud or applying it. not much to miss out on really
I would never install new drywall on a crooked ass wall like that. That room should have been gutted. Do the bones framed square and then dry wall installed and finished. The last thing I wanna do is try to mud seems and a house or somebody call a bunch of corners which happens all the time in the soul called. Do it yourself world. You show people how to save a lot of money. Also how to cut a lot of corners.
