great video Paul!
I appreciate that John! Thank you so much for watching!🙏 Take care, -Paul
I've been dreading the 4 corner beads on two walls that frame a washer and dryer. And then this video came to the rescue. The spray adhesive and staples worked perfectly. In the past, following magazine articles, I used drywall screws or nails and fought with the resultant bulges in the bead and trying to cover the nail heads. The beads are laying flat, the mud is so much easier to apply and the results are looking quite good. As with the inside corner video, thanks so much for the pro tips on tackling what was once a difficult job. A sincere thanks!!
Such great news Dominic! That’s the good thing about video, you can see exactly how it’s done. I have got so many questions on my drywall videos on how to finish inside and outside corners. For these outside corners the spray adhesive and staples on vinyl corner bead is so much easier than trying to screw or nail like you said. The vinyl corner bead always seems to bubble up right next to where you put a screw or nail. I’m glad my videos are coming in handy for you! Thanks so much for watching and the great feedback! Take care, -Paul
Thanks for the tips my man, before this I was not a mudding and taping kinda guy. Now I've made 800 bucks on this job!
Drywalling is so satisfying
Removing those light switches makes life so much easier when feathering the corner
Very nice, makes it look like something anyone can just do. Like playing a musical instrument. Great tutorial.
Awesome video! I'm just a DIYer, but this video certainly improved my corner beads Thanks Paul!!
That’s awesome Dayvid! I appreciate the great feedback!👍🏻 Thanks so much for watching and subscribing my friend! -Paul
I landed in Orlando in 2016 as I was looking out the plane I could tell the land was sinking. I thought about the gators and how dangerous they are in such an urban area. I wondered how that was dealt with by people in the area and what kind of a problem it was or may be. When I got back home the news the very same day told about a child eaten by a gator. I think it may have been in Orlando where I was at Disney. His dad was there and tried to save him but no luck. I still cannot get over it. By the way I think Florida is too damn hot I had to take refuge from that heat or it would have killed me. Dead.
Very interesting. I've never used spray adhesive on corner bead. Might have to try that and see how it works.
Love the staple gun technique.....I've always used nails....now I know better!
Hey Paul, looks good. I don’t know if this will help, what I started doing was using the 90 min powder mud on my second coat and a mason trowel. I was tired of that gully you were referring to on you final skim coat. All my wife knives seem to flex too much and never got the corner dead flat. I like the 90 powder because it allows me to get second and final coats in one day if I desire. An added bonus is that mud dries harder and if someone bumps into it as they always do it is a little more forgiving and doesn’t gouge all the mud out before it’s painted. Keep up the good work.
Great job Paul!! Trim-tex and fibafuse great stuff!!
Paul, awesome video. If you have the opportunity, could you show how to install and finish were corner bead strips meet? Where vertical and horizontal corner bead meet, like a doorway.
Another winner Paul. Killing it with the tags - KING OF ALL TAGS!
+U Do It Thanks man!🙏 Yeah! hahaha...😇 Take care my friend, -Paul
Very helpful useful information thank you
Slick. You make it look easy.
Great video thanks. How do you stop the stapler from getting gummed up by the spray adhesive?
Paul, in your opinion,what is the benefit of the vinyl bead as opposed to metal?
Is it because of the moisture of the bathroom?
Think I just answered my own question. Lol
#tubetime
Thank you so much !
Thank you for watching and commenting!👍🏻😎
Love these videos- thanks for all the helpful info! If I'm skimcoating over an existing knockdown texture to get a smooth wall, how do I handle outside corners to make sure they're nice and clean? Another layer of corner bead?
Using a full can of adhesive for two corners :D
Corner bead eats the mud up for sure. But, I definitely didn’t use an entire bucket.😂
A true artisan.
With 1/2" sheetrock and the thickness of the cornerbead, what good does the 1/2" staple do?
All it does it hold it while the glue dries. Glue will dry In 5-10 mns
I never use staples but I agree it would help it hold and bond to glue better. That glue dries fast as hell. I’ve never had any problems it not staying on.
Great tutorial for what appears to be a big improvement over the metal corner bead. I have one that has several nail pop-ups and I'm debating whether to cut it out and replace it with the trim tex or just reset the nails with a punch and remud.
Don’t have to fill all the way……Proceeds to fill all the way. 😂😂😂
😂😂😂
I always put a coat of mud on the corner, and then press the corner bead against it, then skim it, and its always seemed completely fine to me.
I do the same process but no staples never had a problem.
Hi Paul. Have you ever heard of cutting vinyl corner bead down the middle in a case where you needed flat bead? I have an incorrectly installed shower stall where the typical shower bead won't work. I need a flat bead, which would work better than mesh tape. I thought cutting corner bead would be easier than trying to find the tear-away type of bead, which isn't in my local store. Thanks for any thoughts, and all your great videos.
Thanks for the video
I could tell from the Palm trees you were in Florida ;). Wish you were over near Tampa - Need to drywall help! :)
Great video, Thanks !!
Thank you for this video 👍
1 hour drywall job - quoted $22k
$200 Labour and materials
$21,800 for spray adhesive
Just use screws
Paul, how do you address vinyl corner bead that has popped loose on one side. Is it sufficient to just reattach with staples? In this case, it has already been mudded and painted, so any final finish repairs would follow getting the corner bead securely reattached.
I'm a DIYer and have done just a couple of drywall projects...you guys make it look so easy. Takes me 3 weeks to do what you guys do in a couple of days it seems. I'm doing a small bathroom..the previous owners put paneling over the original plaster. I've pulled the old paneling off and replaced it with a thin underlayment. I plan to mud the joints and basically treat it like it's drywall. I will put a skim coat on it first. Should I skim it before or after I tape and mud the corners? Thanks
Hey Brian,
Sounds like you’re still on that job, yes mud everything. Hopefully that will get you done in the next 4 years
Just a heads up, the 3M can says to wait 1 minute before attaching the corner bead to let it get tacky.
That's probably why he adds staples. He doesn't wait the 2 minutes.
@@crocpa good call 👍
I use metal bead with mud behind it, squeeze it into the corner, then I tape it with fibafuse. I only staple it in places I need to if it doesn't sit how I want it to. I imagine the vinyl bead is so it doesn't want to rust in the bathroom.
What if someone bangs into that corner bead? The bead will probably pop off if hit just right would be my worry. Yes I always use vinyl corner bead in bathrooms to prevent rusting due to how humid can be. Thanks so much for watching and commenting Brandon!👍🏻 -Paul
I got the idea from the paper faced metal mud on bead. The mud seeps thru all the holes in the regular metal bead which helps it hold, and I tape and mud over it in the same setting but don’t fill and float the bead until that dries. I have had a crack line on the edge of the fibafuse on a couple, but no beads have popped off after an impact. I’m an electrician now, but I did general commercial construction for 15 years. I was always doing some amount of miscellaneous drywall and I always like talking to finishers. I’ll soon be trying out that skip trowel texture of yours. Never heard of it until your channel, but I like that idea.
Those kind of work are the ones l go to repair as a painter, then l put screws on all of the corner..
Ty, it is very helpful
Thank you so much for watching and. Subscribing A Marcano! 🙏 -Paul
Thank you for the easy to understand video. Being a brand new DiYer so I appreciate that.
Wish I would've came across this a day ago. Just did a similar job and I didn't use any adhesive. I only used mud to hold the corner beads...hope it works🙄😖
Hi Shaun, yes. Hopefully it will be fine. Let me know how it turns out.👍🏻 Thanks so much for watching and subscribing man!😎-Paul
How did it hold up? I am in the same boat :(
Thank you for sharing your skills. I'm new subscriber..
Staple that bead on and start spackling. That adhesive sure wouldn’t be cost effective. I’ve even screwed on those beads with great results.
Great video! I assume I can substitute the adhesive spray with something like Liquid Nails right?
What is the best easy way to install paper corner beam for a beginner
it looks like the drywalls at the corner should not be butted. The pros seem to cut it short half inch and not butt both sides of the drywall. Is that true for all types of corner beads? Metal and vinyl or paper?
Quick set 90 on corner beads first coat..
Hot mud doesn’t stick good to vinyl beads for first coats…
Good info, very helpful. But, please, please, please invest in a tripod!! I got nauseous trying to watch the constant camera movement.
confirmed at 14:00 I the nausea kicked in, so I had to have a little break :D
Do you ever get bubbles appearing as mud dries? If so, why and what to do to prevent this!
Paul if I would have a job where it’s a customers house that has Knicks and chucks taken off over general living...just put one of these over?
Do you sand after each coat and how long for each coat to dry?
Beautiful work as always Paul,I always learn something watching you
I appreciate that Pete!👍 Thanks so much for watching and commenting! Take care man, -Paul
AAARRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHH! I just lost my lunch watching this.
Hi Paul! I'm working on some projects @ the house. I have metal corner bead which is dented and the mud has come off. So I have ugly metal bead exposed. I want to redo with the vinyl corner bead. Question is do I remove the metal bead? Or put the vinyl over it? Hope this isn't a dumb question.
Awesome Paul thank you...how do u do the top where the ceiling meets the wall? Is that taped?
Hey Paul, good info here. I was wondering how you will finish that outside corner where the tile from the shower is ? You used mud to finish off that bead, but mud near a water source makes me nervous. ?? Red Guard ? or just tile right over to bead ?
That's the exact thing I thot when watching this! I own a tile biz and know u would not use compound on that corner, u use mortar while tiling, or beforehand. Other than that good video on mudding corners!!
The adhesive certainly helps with installation, however most adhesives over time break down or loses their bonding strength. In this case it may not be an issue or it may take 15 to 20 years for the bond to become brittle, but one should be aware of this situation when considering long term durability. Nice work.
I appreciate that mFarris.👍🏻 I also added staples as well to hold the cornerbead in place. I think the bead is good to go for many years to come. Thanks so much for watching and subscribing!😎 -Paul
The adhesive is just to hold it while you spackle.
Not here to troll...but I can't remember a time when rubber cement breaks down....the adhesive is essentially rubber cement in a can.... that's why I can't figure out why staples....
@@-agent-47-80 also green lid all purpose has adhesive in it.
Excellent tutorial.
I really appreciate that Joe.💥👊🏻 Thanks so much for watching and subscribing my friend!😎 -Paul
Can you apply a new corner bead over an existing one if you're planning on skim coating?
Do you tape corner beads? I had tile put in shower and they put vinyl corner bead in the entrance. Do I just fill it with mud where the corner bead meets the drywall?
Can you use a laser instead of a level to plumb up the bead? If so how? Thanks
ever use no coat brand corner beads? I love them.
Yes I have. No Coat bead works great for sure!👍 Have you tried the mudset corner bead by Trim-Tex? I just recently tried that too. -Paul
are you using regular drywall compound or is a special waterproof compound??
Thx! - "boogers" IS the official term! Ya sure don't call them "nice little neighbors" when you're losing time finding them or filling their tracks!
i allways let the spray glue to tack up almost dry then put the corner on is that correct
Can you use sheetrock joint compound to make concrete walls smooth?
Yes, you sure can.👍🏻 Have the concrete walls already been painted? -Paul
I'm not working on anything. Just want to know if you could use it to skimcoat concrete walls. Will it be okay to apply on bare concrete or does the wall need to be primed with paint first?
Did you use the sheetrock joint compound for skimcoating too?
Yes, the all purpose joint compound with the dark green lid.👍🏻 Thanks so much for watching and subscribing!😎 -Paul
What kind of nail or screw do I use on Corner Bead?
Thxs Sir!
Did you cut a 45° angle at the top and bottom of the corner bead? Also when you stapled it, did you go across the cut, or avoid it?
Don't worry about the bottom of the trim covers it
No nylon mesh ???
You need to let the adhesive set up for a few minutes then it sticks instantly... no need for staples and it won't be so messy getting it on your fingers etc...
Anyone ever had/seen issues with using rustable staples under mud in a bathroom environment? I see issues with old wallboard screws on a regular basis.
How many 8’ sections will one can cover?
Hi Travis, i’d say you can probably get close to ten 8 foot sticks of corner bead with one can of the spray adhesive. I hope this helps. Thanks so much for watching!👍🏻 Take care, -Paul
Hey Paul... Can you use that all purpose you used with the green lid for an entire room. From coating screw heads mudding tape, skimming etc? I mean just using that one all purpose compound?
Yes you sure can Brian.👍
@@PaulPeck well I don’t understand why these guys on RUclips are telling about lite heavy quick set and all these other things you have to mix up when a DIYer like me just want to do a little project without spending lots of money on products and tools?
All of that depends on the project.✅
Paul. When using all purpose mud I have always allowed my first coat of mud to dry 48 hours then 24 hours for each additional application. Is this correct or do you have any suggestions on this? Thanks.
Bert Copple I use a high velocity fan and it dries the All Purpose in less than a day.
Nice video. Do you have a link for the green liquid membrane that you used on the wall. I wanna make sure I buy the right stuff. I'm trying to redo a bathroom and new to the home improvements. Thanks
I'm sure you already figured it out. Aqua Defense by Mapei
Those staples aren't going into the 2x4. Have you ever had them work loose through the mud? We use 1" staples and shoot it through an air gun.
You don't want the nails going through into the wood if the wood shrinks and twist in the corner beet doesn't crack
What could you do to fix a corner bead once the tile is already up and the corner bead didn’t stick good? Also it wasn’t a vinyl corner bead. It was a metal one with paper. And the husband pulled the paper off 🤦🏻♀️ The paper didn’t stick. Help? Now there is a lip.
What skim coats do u buy
do you have to use staples
No. But it is recommended by the manufacturers.👍🏻 I hope this helps. Thanks so much for watching and subscribing my friend!😎 -Paul
How are u not wearing ppe gloves
Hi Paul, after watching your video, I did this exact process with the adhesive, corner bead, and even got the same stapler; however, the adhesive got into the tip of the stapler that cycles and fires the staples and the powershot won't fire anymore unless I manually push that tip in. Have you had this problem with your stapler?
Hey Mark, I haven’t had that happen to where it wouldn’t shoot. Just stick. Usually when the stapler won’t fire it’s due to a staple jam. Have you checked for a staple or something else jammed in it?
Thanks for the quick reply Paul! Yes I checked for a staple jam and I am able to manually tap the firing tab back inwards, but it's quite slow to have to manually re-set it every time I want to shoot a staple in there. I hit the tap with some penetrating oil and worked it in and it didn't correct the problem. I'll swap it out at the store with a new one, I'm guessing there is some kind of factory defect with it. Also, thanks so much for the video, the process was really quick and finished really nicely in my renovation!!
@@sparksmach1
You said you accidentally spray the adhesive into the end of the stapler? If thats so, and is the reason the stapler is malfunctioning, take some Acetone or Laquer Thinner and clean the end of your stapler. Let it soke into the tip area really well. It will break down the adhesive, and should allowthe stapler to function as it did when new.
I never understood why anyone would ever go this route. Seriously!
As much prep as this take to install, it’s MUCH better practice to use metal corner bead w screws!
I can’t tell you how many calls I received over the years where this method failed from other installers and we had to repair the correct (for longevity) way...
Ha. You don’t know how many times I’ve had to go back and repair metal corner bead from oxidation or rust... Overtime the metal corner bead oxidizes and the joint compound loses its adhesion to the shiny metal corner bead. I also see a lot of metal corner bead rusting at windows and in bathrooms that have a shower or tub in them. That’s why I’m going more towards the vinyl bead. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!👍🏻 Take care, -Paul
JPer: Ha. You've never lived in Hawaii. The "metal" will rust out in no time here in Hawaii. Only folks fresh to the islands use it. Especially near the ocean. Just saying. Location. Location. Location.
Putting mud over Aqua Defense is not an approved technique according to Mapei. You should have left that side of the bead alone and covered it with thinset then tiled over it. This is just asking for trouble in the humidity of the shower. Any moisture that gets into the mud will be trapped between the Aqua Defense and the wall covering. Thinset won't degrade but sheetrock mud will. You are almost guaranteed to have failure of adhesion of the mud to the Aqua Defense over time.
the corner of the bead still be showing after the finishing coat? And if so, will paint cover it?
Yes, the primer and paint will cover that and it will blend right in.👍🏻 Thanks so much for watching and subscribing!😎 -Paul
Paul Peck DrywallTube Fantastic, I’m about to apply my final coat. No, thank you for the video and the prompt reply
Do you need the staples if you're using the spray adhesive?
Is that stainless steel knife what size 16 inch?
Yeah man, I’m using a 12” stainless steel drywall knife for mudding and a 6” drywall knife to scrape the high spots before I did the final coat of mud on the vinyl corner bead. Hope that helps, -Paul
Paul Peck ok thanks it does help
Ok great! Let me know how it goes JBIRD.✌🏻 -Paul
Using glue is so messy, can you skip it and just use Staples?
Spray adhesive ..... Staples ... Mud .. Lol where the hell do they do this ? Lol can u imagine how much spray adhesive we'd use at a. Real jobsite lol
Can’t you just put mud up first to get the bead to stick?
He used way too much of the spray. Do not spray it liberally...it does not take that much spray. You are just wasting the spray.
Can this type of corner bead be mud set with durabond 45. it is like concrete and sticks to anything. Thanks for the video.
Is it stronger than 3m glue and staples for a bullnose corner
CAUTION! ! I ordered the 847 Adhesive - took 20 days to get it at a cost of $42.15! ! ! ! Just can't believe this.
That’s crazy!😳 For one can?
@@PaulPeck yep! ONE can. I got suckered!
Ya don’t need to mud the whole wall, should only do corner,butts and flats.never the whole board when new
man, you lost me at 2:00 with the $15 can of adhesive. geeze.
Isn't enough just staple the corner bead?
The word is "Plumb"
Yes. Lol...👍🏻
Paul Peck lol great vid btw. latest trimtex bead instalation instalation video says staple every 6-8 with glue or every 2-4 inches without glue, that's alot of stapling or do they just want us to buy more glue 😂
Thanks man! I appreciate that.🙏 Yeah Kiwi, I saw that one the other day and thought the same thing. Maybe it’s that or they’re just trying to cover their butt with all those staples and spray adhesive? -Paul
Staples???
Yep. Stapes and spray adhesive to be exact. The staples work way better than screws.👍🏻 -Paul
Horizontal surfaces are “level,” vertical surfaces are “plumb.”
Metal corners, minimum 3/4 crown staples.... done. No friggin glue, no garbage plastic corners. And why would you use 1/2” staples in 1/2” drywall?? First decent bump into that corner and it’s gonna move and crack. Just my opinion
You keep saying work clean, but what does that mean? Why wouldn't it be clean?
Why not use mudset so much better on the environment
