I have a Tapetech mudrunner but having trouble using it .Watching you is inspiring , I am going to put down my angle box and learn to use this tool properly.Thanks .
thanks for showing this tool. I'll let you know how I make out with mine, picking it up tomorrow. Won't be using it until Monday though. Been using a angle box or tubes for over 20 years.
I love my mudrunner! Its been worth every penny it cost. I can run all my ceiling crown angles in a typical house ,in less than 30 minutes. It would take over an hour and a half to two hours to run them by hand.
@@THEDRYWALLDOCTOR1 it takes a bit of getting used to like any new automatic tool. I've used both. I prefer the mudshot for two reasons; the mud comes out automatically when (and only when) the head is pressed into the angle, and there are only two moving parts, the plunger and the release valve.
I haven't personally used one myself, I've only seen you use one, but it looks effortless, I've never been able to push an angle box with out sweating up a storm, lol. I'd like to get one some day. They look pretty sweet tho!
Another great video. I want to invest in these and try them but unfortunately I just don't have enough work to justify buying them. I hope I get to be able to eventually though. Also where's the camera man?
The mud runner looks sweet in all my years I’ve never had my muddy little hands on one definitely need to try one out maybe I could purchase a used one what company produces yours ? Thanks doc.
Hey bud thanks I’m using a buddies mud runner tomorrow and never ran one. I taped and glazed using my mud tube and he offered to let me use his mud runner to finish it. I’m eventually buying a mud shot from Level5tools but I’m looking forward to using this tho. By the way did you meet Richard eishfeller from trimtex or advanced drywall? I think you did! I’ve watched your videos for years. I enjoy your vids sir
I run mine for the first time tomoro I’ll let you know how it goes! You said you have tried no pock…have you tried it with your all purpose taping mud? It keeps it really wet and oily when you get back to wiping the tape or squaring the corners
A good friend of mine. (In fact, his brother worked for me. ) worked for USG and would take samples of the wall where we would have problems. If they found any foreign particles, they would not have to warranty their product. They paid me to re-skim two houses because of their mud. If I had added no pocks it would of been my problem.
@@THEDRYWALLDOCTOR1 I ran the mud runner today I felt like a cub again lol. But got a whole house 21 roll house pumped in 4.5 hrs. It’s hard to clean those up on the job with no hose. I wasn’t able to get to the bottom of the white piece at the end of inside part of the tube where the head goes.
This! You never see closeups of the finished mud application on any channel it seems, and I end up wondering if I'm spending too long trying to smooth it out. :D
Hi Sr. I like all your videos but I am using the mud runner but I try to looking for extensions because most the times I have too doit on stills do you know anything about it!!!! Any way you do a great job I try to be like you thank for all your tips
Hey Ray, I saw a vid with Ames rep putting on corner bead with mudrunner and external corner applicator.......seems like it would be pretty fast and wouldn't have to drag hopper around and bend over......have you used your mudrunner to do corner bead?........seems faster but idk
I keep hearing you say skim angles, this is what I do .I embed the wet tape with a 2 inch flusher and allows it to completely dry then I run my angle box with a 3 inch tapetech head like you are using and I am done.Are you saying that you put a skim coat on this dried coat again ?
I just bought a compound tube. How different are they? And do they work when the corners are not square? Because in my experience they never are, not perfect anyway.
Its a machine screw....if you get threading correct it won't matter ...6/32 or 8/32 or ?....they all work same....the size and thread is all that matters and sure most are same in those auto tools
Love this tool. but make sure to put it to the side properly when not in use. Mine got knocked over by the clean up guy and if you think this tool cost a petty penny, wait till you have to buy an replacement tube...
I have been a pro taper for 21 years this year and ALWAYS put my machines FLAT on the floor when not in use and for cleanup guys ? I never let them in my space while working ( safety ).
It looks alot easier to use....some just can't adjust to something different....spend a lil time getting the feel for different tools....you want to work twice as hard because you won't spend the time to get used to different tool be my guest.....i do most all trades so I have to get used to different tools constantly....whatever is faster and easier wins everytime....if it takes more time in beginning to save hours down the road so be it
Thank u i dont like sanding either but my boss decide to get a bright idea an send me two amateur an now im fucking sanding ugh lol but anyways i figure it out after my first ceiling it was so ruff im have to leave milledge on anyways my day suck. I havent sand in two years since i been following you
Mine has been sitting in a corner for years. It doesn’t push the mud out fast enough. I can run circles around it with my angle box. There must be something wrong with my mudrunner.
THE DRYWALL DOCTOR I’m gonna send it in and see what’s up. Yours was working way too good to not give it another shot. Thanks for the vids. I’m a 20 year pro, you’re the real deal.
Tall boys are nice but all you need is a bench. I use one of my work bench’s or painter scaffolding and attach a c-clamp to the bench and pump,where you would put your foot, and it eliminates bending over. It’s such a great trick I can’t believe I never see anyone else using a similar method
The metaltech Painter scaffolding is great on a bigger job. You can put your pump at almost any height to make it very comfortable and you can load several premixed buckets as it can carry a large load. And all yours tools and just roll it along with you as needed
Because when I'm putting the second coat on with a 3-inch head and the mud Runner that is skimming the angles I'm not putting any more mud on after that
It takes years off my life when I use that. Makes a huge mess and I literally want to smash it with a sledge hammer. I should sell it but im too tenacious
@@THEDRYWALLDOCTOR1 i guess if I just typed and used it every day I would get it down to a T. But im a carpenter by trade. Somedays im framing, or hanging cabinets. With that said I love my boxes. Just hate that mud runner.
I have a Tapetech mudrunner but having trouble using it .Watching you is inspiring , I am going to put down my angle box and learn to use this tool properly.Thanks .
Thanks for helping out. I appreciate your help.
Boy that really beats the hell out of doing it by hand
I’m 19 years old and have a been doing mudding for a year and you’re videos help out a lot !

Happy New Years and thank you for the awesome video
Another great idea,thanks for sharing doc.
How big of a deal is it to get some mud on the gold handle? Keep in mind I keep mine practically spotless but I’m curious
It's not a big deal. You can submerge the entire mudrunner, and it will be fine.
We run a MudShot. No twisting the handle, just push the head into the angle and it pumps the mud. Love your videos 👍
I really want to try the mudshot
@@THEDRYWALLDOCTOR1 it takes a bit of getting used to like any new automatic tool. I've used both. I prefer the mudshot for two reasons; the mud comes out automatically when (and only when) the head is pressed into the angle, and there are only two moving parts, the plunger and the release valve.
Mud runner looks like a straight up production tool .
Great work

@Patrick McDonough what happen?
he was always taking selfies

Tapetech
I will have to try one of those tools, I currently use a mudtube and chase with a bonehead. barely touch my angle box anymore just too much work.
After make the angles, wipe it required? as flat boxes? happy new year
Only the corner where the three angles meet
@@THEDRYWALLDOCTOR1 Ok, Thank you!. I forgot ask you...if angles need 2 coat? Or just 1 its enough?

Yes I met him at the Ames store in warrenville Illinois
I run mine for the first time tomoro I’ll let you know how it goes!

Hey brother, I have a question unrelated to this video. Is it ok to stomp a ceiling with lightweight material? Thank you!
A closeup after the taping run would be great. Papa Greg here🎥👍😎👊
This! You never see closeups of the finished mud application on any channel it seems, and I end up wondering if I'm spending too long trying to smooth it out. :D
Great to know I will keep that in mind from now on thank you.
Hi Sr. I like all your videos but I am using the mud runner but I try to looking for extensions because most the times I have too doit on stills do you know anything about it!!!! Any way you do a great job I try to be like you thank for all your tips
Call Ames in warrenville they can get you the extension you need. Talk to Balinda tell her I sent you
Hey Ray, I saw a vid with Ames rep putting on corner bead with mudrunner and external corner applicator.......seems like it would be pretty fast and wouldn't have to drag hopper around and bend over......have you used your mudrunner to do corner bead?........seems faster but idk
I have the tool drags and is very messy
put the hopper on a bench and dont bend over
Makes sense.....
Thanks
I keep hearing you say skim angles, this is what I do .I embed the wet tape with a 2 inch flusher and allows it to completely dry then I run my angle box with a 3 inch tapetech head like you are using and I am done.Are you saying that you put a skim coat on this dried coat again ?
No you're doing it exactly like I would do it
How do you feel about the spring assist box?
They look great have not tried one yet
Would be neat if you reviewed them.
I'll ask
This maybe a dumb question but why is the mud cream colored?
It looks like where corners meet, it was missing mud. How dip you get mud in there? Maybe I am mistaken
You still have to pick the corner by hand
I just bought a compound tube. How different are they? And do they work when the corners are not square? Because in my experience they never are, not perfect anyway.
I have never used a compound tube so I'll ask the same question to anyone who is reading this who has
can i use a colombia comound tube with proper heads the same way?
Can you use the regular plus 3 in a flat box or is the pigmented plus 3 different.
Yes they are the same
Thanks
What would make the tape rip when you glaze with a 2.5 in Head
I want the same t-shirt. 😁
Its a machine screw....if you get threading correct it won't matter ...6/32 or 8/32 or ?....they all work same....the size and thread is all that matters and sure most are same in those auto tools
No not really I have a cabinet with 100-200 different screws just for the tapping tools.
Why is your compound yellow?
It's pigmented +3
Are you in Illinois looked like if you were in the carol stream area
Very good
Love this tool. but make sure to put it to the side properly when not in use. Mine got knocked over by the clean up guy and if you think this tool cost a petty penny, wait till you have to buy an replacement tube...
I have been a pro taper for 21 years this year and ALWAYS put my machines FLAT on the floor when not in use and for cleanup guys ? I never let them in my space while working ( safety ).
What kind of mud are you using
Pigmented plus 3
It looks alot easier to use....some just can't adjust to something different....spend a lil time getting the feel for different tools....you want to work twice as hard because you won't spend the time to get used to different tool be my guest.....i do most all trades so I have to get used to different tools constantly....whatever is faster and easier wins everytime....if it takes more time in beginning to save hours down the road so be it
Have you tried Dewalt mudshot yet?
Not yet really want to though
Same here .
Yo doc please help. Do u have to sand your level 4 job before u do your level 5 when u have to level 5 your ceilings
dust off I don't like sanding
Thank u i dont like sanding either but my boss decide to get a bright idea an send me two amateur an now im fucking sanding ugh lol but anyways i figure it out after my first ceiling it was so ruff im have to leave milledge on anyways my day suck. I havent sand in two years since i been following you
What kind of mud are you using?
He uses USG All purpose for taping (pre mixed) and USG Plus 3 tinted (non premixed mud) I'm pretty sure.
there both premixed
Mine has been sitting in a corner for years. It doesn’t push the mud out fast enough. I can run circles around it with my angle box. There must be something wrong with my mudrunner.
There must be I skim angles with half the effort
THE DRYWALL DOCTOR I’m gonna send it in and see what’s up. Yours was working way too good to not give it another shot. Thanks for the vids. I’m a 20 year pro, you’re the real deal.
where can ｉbuy it
Al's taping tools, AMES, a lot of places. Tell them THE DRYWALL DOCTOR sent you.
They are pretty hard at first right ?
You have to get the mud consistency right and then no really easy
You should get a tall boy pump👍🏿
tyson marquette My thoughts exactly surprised he doesn’t have easier on the back for sure
Tall boys are nice but all you need is a bench. I use one of my work bench’s or painter scaffolding and attach a
c-clamp to the bench and pump,where you would put your foot, and it eliminates bending over. It’s such a great trick I can’t believe I never see anyone else using a similar method

Have you tried new dewalt "mudshot" mudrunner ?
No but I looked it up and it looks awesome.
If you don’t have the rubber piece on the handle you definitely want will hate your mud runner.
So why are you saying skimming angles.
Because when I'm putting the second coat on with a 3-inch head and the mud Runner that is skimming the angles I'm not putting any more mud on after that
@@THEDRYWALLDOCTOR1 Thanks
Can u repeat in french please ? 👍👍
Subtitles?
It takes years off my life when I use that. Makes a huge mess and I literally want to smash it with a sledge hammer. I should sell it but im too tenacious
It put years onto my life.
@@THEDRYWALLDOCTOR1 i guess if I just typed and used it every day I would get it down to a T. But im a carpenter by trade. Somedays im framing, or hanging cabinets. With that said I love my boxes. Just hate that mud runner.
Taped not typed
dewalt mudshot far superior
I would love to try that!!
Another Mud runner video??? 😂😂😂

He's still faster than some of the young folks I worked with. And I like watching his videos so hopefully he continues for a while...
Do not retire your used to moving I tried it for two years it was boring I’m back at 67 although I don’t do production work for a slave outfit
