Been checking the Doc’s videos out the last few days, and if you want to know about drywall listen to the doc, and please pull your misses . Nothing compares to experience and this man knows what he is talking about. Thanks Doc. I’ve been in the drywall trade 35+ years and what this man tells you is the truth. I seen some other videos and I’m thinking the poor folks that do what there suggesting will be doing a repair within a month or two. Keep up the good work Doc.
thanks i have a project to do painting my interior. , I dont see the nail or screw heads just small round spots, what about thin cracks by the metal coner beads do i need to tape it ?
You're up and active and practicing your profession, and even teaching. You're not a "really old man", I don't care how many birthdays you've had. I''ve seen some really old men, and you're not one of them! Thanks for the video! :-D
I have been getting nail pops in a 40 year old house in the pacific northwest. Pretty damp here. A few years ago I installed a wood stove to combat the dampness and now i'm getting pops. I think its from the studs shrinking as there is no signs of moisture. I was worried because it shouldn't happen in a house this old unless something is wrong...or something has changed. Do you think the new wood stove is the culprit, I can live with it if it is, as long as the place isn't falling down. Thank you for your channel.
The same thing happened to my home after installing a wood stove insert. Nail pops all over. I can see every stud lol. I also added a central air system the Year before. I'm guessing my house us finally drying completely after 50years. Let me know if you learned anything new from your experience. It was driving me crazy and causing anxiety
One weird thing was I've watched videos of guys doing drywall in Taiwan and the processes are definitely different there, but I really rarely or never noticed nailpops anywhere there when I was over there. Their processes are gluing it to the studs, but then using an air gun and crown staples to actually fasten it, instead of roofing nails or drywall screws. I think for steel stud application there generally it was screwed, but there probably still a majority of places have masonry walls and just use drywall for ceilings with basically 2x3s making a false ceiling on top of a masonry one.
When you glue, do you lay a steady bead down, or do you just to globs. I’ve had more success using globs about where we place the screws in the field. I’m sure you’ve taken down old drywall that was glued but the glue strip wasn’t touching the drywall but in one or two spots. Just curious as to your thoughts.
We used to as well. Pull a few random sheets back down in a 300 sheet drywall job. I was surprised how little glue actually touches the paper. Sure you can really load up the bead, but how many guys are doing that. Just sharing why and how I’ve changed over the years.
I have so many screw and nail pops in my house. Walls ceiling everywhere. Nothing in the basement. All on the main floor. House is about 20 years old. I have lived here for 3 years. I repaired a good amount of them last year. Any idea how they happen, and why so many? Thank you.
Thanks for replying. Will they pop again if they are fixed? Never noticed this in previous homes but i was to young to remember if i did have any or not.
Back in the day when peeps opened up they wallets and sprang for their monster shacks I would be taping on laminated lids virtually no screws hence never a pop. I’m sure you’ve crossed that path as well but I don’t see this any longer but then I’m not working in 2.5 or 3 mil houses any more

No I scribe the crack in a v shape and strip it twice. Make sure the mud is dry between coats.
@@THEDRYWALLDOCTOR1 thanks have a good weekend.
You had me laughing about the story of the "old" hanger, lol
Nothing beats working when its lashing outside.
Keep the posts coming raymundo.
I do a lot of drywall repairs and most of the screw pops I fix are from screws being installed the wrong way or in the wrong spot
I love this channel. I do drywall repair and I have learned a lot. Thanks Ray!

Is it also the humidity that causes for a nail pop or no?
Absolutely higher humid climates will have more nail pops

Absolutely when you take the moisture out you will get the nail pops I'm sure your house isn't falling down
@@THEDRYWALLDOCTOR1 thank you, I was pretty sure that was the problem. Thanks for the advice it's appreciated

Thanks. I’m always dealing with pops and hoped you had a magic fix. Nice to know you do the same thing.
I live in Washington state, not too many people glue to the studs, typically just to concrete foundations.
Old hanger here,! my first year all I did was nail 3 sets of two ceilings 2 sets walls all day long fast as a machine gun
Yes I remember 3 sets of two nails you hangers were fast

I always wonder about if I ever have to take down glued up drywall. I wonder how hard it's going to be.
It's not easy

I glue in strips but make sure I screw each stud and pull the sheet into the glue

Different climates have a better chance of more screw pops and it also depends on how wet the wood was before they drywalled it.

They shouldn't. But theirs always a first time.
What's you opinion on doing drywall insurance work? I'd love to hear what you have to say
Work is work if you always give a fair price you will always have work.

How to remove asbestos popcorn ceilings?
Carefully!!
He must have been part Mohegan imo
Those screws too deep in my opinion you’re breaking the paper in front of the drywall which is what holds it
👍👍😊
I will be there at 30,000
