You did good on this idea. I started the same way. The key to taping drywall is applying the compound to the tape this way there are no blisters in your finish project. The TapeBuddy would still be worth ordering and having with your drywall tools.

I like seeing creativity but here’s a little tip for you from a 35 year drywall pro. The +3 is an all purpose mud and it can be used for taping but the green label all purpose has more adhesive in it and is much more suited for taping. It’s a little harder sanding because of the glue so not great for top coating and that’s where the +3 shines. this video just popped up in my feed so thought I’d share that with you. Hope it helps.
Thanks for the info. Will defiantly look into the mud when I’m at Homedepot. I’m not a drywall pro. Most of my drywall repairs are small or just one room like a bathroom. Thanks for the tips. I see you have a channel. planning to check out some of your videos. Thanks for watching. This drywall taping tool is only for DIYers not intended for Pros. Haha
@@handylandlord hey I like the creativity of it. I make a lot of my own tools and things around the shop so I get it. That looks like an imitation of the mud buddy I think it’s called. Yeah definitely go with the green label for taping and the +3 for easy sanding and easy spreading and you will like it. Good luck on your channel!
thank you I just got my first property and don't have the perfect credit to get the banks help so watching videos like these really do help me ALOT! thank you for allowing me to view this content of your journey please continue to share :)
good job, just make sure you put mud on the right side of the tape. flip the roll around so the mud get on the back side of the crease. if not those seams are gonna need to be wider
Thanks for the idea. I also have to do a little but of taping and don't have a lot of time to do it. I also don't want to spend a lot for something that I won't be using very often so this is a great idea. Thanks
The mud is spreading on the opposite side of the tape, just flip it over. Your homemade "banjo" is applying compound on the front side of the tape. Paper tape has its specific folding side. Otherwise, your joints will need to be floated out unnecessarily. With the time it took you to assemble this little invention of yours, I would have completed the entire job without smearing my fingers so badly. Clever, but you're not fooling me.
Thanks for the tip. For me this was a lot of drywall. I’m no pro when it comes to drywall. Thanks for watching. In the end I think it turned out pretty good.
Dont let this put you off your new tool i got hell from the "old pros" for my similar setup only to have them eat their negative comments at the end of the day when i had left them in the dust and had cleaner lines and less waste and was asked if i could make them one.

Thanks. Taping this way worked great. Are you the owner of the tape buddy? If so, what is the best way to order the TapeBuddy? Amazon?

This is the simplest and best diy device i came across on YT. Great video man! Thanks for sharing
juanduarte200 Thanks. Glad you found it helpful.
Nice i made a similar setup but mounted mine on a rolling cart so its easy to take room to room.
Good idea. Thanks for sharing.
Love the vid man, awesome insight, really useful.
Tomy Shaw Thanks. Time is money. This thing increases my productivity. But shooting the video slowed me down. Haha
@@handylandlord Haha yeah short term it slowed you down but you have invested for the future. :)
Beast Mode ❤
Very cool!!
Nice ....just saved me some cash ...trying to finish Mudding a whole house job need some speedy tips finish up 👍
It worked great for me. Good luck on your project.
At 4:12 is the mud going on the wrong side of the tape?
People have mentioned this. I never knew until posting this video. Learn something new every day.
Awesome !!
Rental Rehab Thanks. This worked better than expected.
Tape is backwards, but this is a great 💡👍
I'm not gay but I think I love you. Great idea bro
This thing definitely helped me. Thanks for making me laugh. Haha
You could have done it with the pan and knife, and wouldn't have been as messy, never underestimate your ability.....
Yeah I have. But honestly this was a lot of drywall for me on this job, def not a professional. I found this tool super helpful. Thanks for watching.
I got a better idea a banjo
Banjo works to. This is for the person like myself that only does one or 2 big drywall jobs a year. For the DIYer. Thanks for watching.
@@handylandlord even doing 1 or 2, pays for itself. Easier to get the job done and relatively more cleaner.
