It is surprisingly incredibly difficult to find a full video on drywall from step 1 - step 3+. So many of them just cover one step and as a beginner, I had NO clue what sequence of steps I should be doing. Thank you so much for making this video, breaking it all down, and giving the FULL spectrum of what the steps are. Seriously, I searched the internets for weeks to find this and I couldn't be more thankful!!
Because it's not the best advice honestly, been doing this a very long time and lots of this is really situational, not saying he's bad or a bad teacher but there are lots of very complex materials in the trade that he didnt address, like the difference between mud weights, taping vs finishing muds, why adding water is important, I'm not gonna thumbs down but people watching should know they are gonna be in over their heads
@@quinnycoleman7214 most people watching this are doing a small project themselves. This info is perfect for that, and it does say "Beginner" in the title. Just because YOU know all the tricks of the trade, it does not mean most people even care to know them. I had 1 room to do and this video got me through it and I ended up with a very nice finish, so maybe understanding why I used plus 3 to finish really isn't that important since I have no plans to make a career out of it, just didn't want to pay someone 2500 dollars to do what cost me 250 to do myself.
@@jack8162 i understand what youre saying and ill im saying is there is other information out there that is a little more detailed that is well worth looking into
@@licedmilk paper tape takes 2 to 3 tries for a beginner to learn and is better. I used scrap drywall and a 6 inch knife with this guy's advice and got it down enough to do an entire room, ceiling included, with a good finish. I think you don't give people enough credit. Most people are more able than you think. Why use the less good product as a beginner just because you are a beginner? It makes no sense to tell people that.
@@licedmilk I think if a person can't handle bedding the tape, they really should just hire someone to do it. My first time doing tape, I had it figured out. To be fair, I've worked in construction in the past and did similar things that required similar skillsets(scratchcoating, veneer stone installation, etc) so I was comfortable with using the knife, but if using simple hand tools is hard for someone, then they are better off not doing diy to begin with
So many haters just want people to think that drywall finish is some impossible thing to justify their career. Maybe someone learning from a RUclips video won’t get it right on the first try but stop hating on someone offering advice to those who choose to undertake their own project. It’s not rocket science folks, just takes practice after you get instructions on what to do. Take chances and save some money…Good video.
As a single mom going through her first time home buying experience with no help and no one to be able to help me fix things once I find my home…Your videos has helped me so much.!!! Thank you so much!!!
Doing my basement right now. Just finished tape coat and no it just doesn’t look like this guys. I can’t explain it. Going to be mudding and sanding for days.......
I’ve worked on drywall since I was 10 and now I’m 21. I have watched so many videos on how to drywall just to make see if people do it differently, but I notice that you guys are honestly the only ones who do it correctly.
I did my first nails when I was 5. Back then they didn't use screws. I'm 52 now. I started working with my dad at 15 but before then I'd helped here and there as a kid. Some of these videos are so cringe to watch. My dad started at the dawn of drywall so to say I learned old school is an understatement. I use a hawk, a 14" flat trowel and a 6" knife. That's it. I haven't touched my taping tools in ten years but I could still out pace a banjo with much better results. Honestly, I don't know where these people are learning these days, but they are seriously slow and sloppy. Around here there are a lot of trowel guys, which is fine. I'm just not that ambidextrous. There aren't very many hawk guys but the troughs are generally used by homeowners. I'd ditch the trough unless you're using it to feed gophers. I think you'll find you can get more material on your tools and run your seams much quicker. This guy had to load his 10' knife like 4 times to do what should have been done in one pass. That's my advice to you. If you're working piece work or by the job, you'll make more money.
I do everything the same as him besides with flats all you need is a 10 because if you wipe your edge right you won’t need a 12 to go over it I can see with a butt joint
You guys are great! Couple things... Need to tell beginning drywallers about "hot" mud. The "do it fast" temptation is huge for new mudders. I use small batches (just a pan full, no more) of 45 or 120 for my 1st coat on spaces, joints & screws. It gives me enough time to work but dries fast enough that I can apply the second coat the same day. Things to remember with hot mud: SMALL Batches & never mix the crusties back into good mud. I keep a 2nd pan (I like plastic - easier to clean) to put scrapings into. Clean EVERYTHING really well before you make a new batch or it gets hard and you will NEVER get it off. 45 stays workable for about 30 min & 120 for about 90. Set a timer! It is harder than regular mud so it fills in spaces better but it is harder to sand too. If you practice before you actually do a wall, you can get the hang of it quickly & see how fast it set up. It will take you longer than you think it will if you are new to it. FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS on the bag or avoid all of this & use the premixed stuff y'all are using. I hate sanding so I am super careful when mudding and take longer than most people do to avoid that. The other things I do are: (1) Run the corner of the knife on concrete real quick (sidewalk, garage floor, etc.. - it will leave a mark on the concrete so be discrete) ; just enough to get rid of the point, but not create a burr. It is a personal preference but it makes corners a breeze. (2) Before I mud, I grab a phillips screwdriver & I run my knife over EVERY screw head. I listen for a "ting" sound from high screws. I can easily tighten them as final prep before I start mudding. Trying to do it while mudding slows me down & is super messy, but it NEEDS to be done. You can't leave high screw heads. They will always show, will tear your sand "paper" & the wall will look like crap. (3) Wash your stuff quickly & DRY it quickly. EVERYTHING rusts & it rusts fast! Rust not only ruins your equipment, but it leave discolored streaks in any mudding you try to do later (i.e., the second & skim coats...). (4) I set up a work light at a right angle to the wall while I am mudding & sanding so I get shadows from ridges, etc... (5) DO NOT clean your stuff in the kitchen or bathroom sink... Mud, especially hot mud, will ruin your plumbing. First, scrape excess mud into a garbage bag & toss it out. Then scrub everything with a green scrubbie pad & dry it well with paper towels. Make sure you get EVERYTHING off if you are using hot mud or it can cause the next batch to harden too fast & you get lumps. Wash tools somewhere where drywall mud haze won't matter. There will be haze. Final words of warning - Drywall dust & the edges of drywall will RUIN your floors! It is super gritty & will scratch everything. So DO NOT track it everywhere while you are working. Put an old rug at doorways to wipe your feet on. Close room doors so the dust doesn't float all over the rest of the house. It is very hard to get off of stuff. It is also awful for your lungs & eyes masks & glasses are a must. The shop vac is your friend.
@@Nestrs Thank you! Every one of those things Iearned by screwing them up first! (Especially the washing up in the kitchen sink... Now I know how to replace a garbage disposal too!) LOL! Thank you so much for your great vids & super positive attitude!
@@maddydollear i think you are asking how much to mix. If you are using "hot mud" or quick drying mud, just what you can use in the time before it sets up. And in the pan you hold.
That's a really great job of explaining things. I have seen many guys just roll along and criticize even though they didnt explain it. This was well done. Great that you offer this to people. You and your wife are very easy to watch and follow. Some people seem almost like they dont want people to know the work well, almost like they are trying to remain the knowledgeable one...which is such a character flaw... thanks for telling it properly, and clearly. This was the best Ive seen so far, and I mean from sooo many videos. Well done you two, for real.
I’m planning on adding drywall to my den, this is gonna be my second diy project im doing in my house. I’m 17, have no idea how to do this, but your videos are very informative! Most videos on here use language and vocabulary I don’t understand, but you really word this so anybody can understand. It’s less intimidating and makes me feel a lot more confident in doing this. Thank you!
I so appreciate your video. I bought my house in 2016 and now need some work done and ppl charging crazy prices for this stuff. I am also a DIY type person. I love to love new things and see what I can do for myself. I so appreciate the step by step. ❤🎉 It looks like I will be getting some dry wall. Thanks
Thank you for this video. It has really saved me a lot of time and sanding. I'm 44 and starting my own business which means building some additional rooms in a store front. Again thank you.
I've heard about adding soap. I have never added soap and i don't get those bdisappear. Plusubbles. Those bubbles are from the factory. I just add a little water and mix it and those bubbles disappear. Plus it's easier to apply with mud not so thick. Just don't make it so thin. You want thin creamy mud meat the final coats. You get that by adding more water than b4. Good tip is get an empty bucket and split your mud in half And only mix one bucket. It's good to keep a half bucket of the original mud just incase you add to much water you can just add more mud to your mix bucket. Remember can always add more water so less is more. Add a little bit at a time till you think it's ok.
Thanks! I’m getting divorced and my husband left the whole sunroom with barely one coat of mud. This was a great help. I wouldn’t even try this if I didn’t have this demonstration and list!
Thanks for producing this video. I just finished replacing the faux paneling/sheetrock in a corner of my garage after watching your video (several times.) This was my first try and drywall finishing. Thank again 😄
Over the years I have done many projects that ended with drywall, I have gotten better (a little) I have never sought instruction but I saw your video and wow did this old dog learn some new tricks! Thanks so much for posting, you kept it pretty simple and didn't bog the viewer down with info overload, just what a beginner needs to get started!
This is great. Your'e a good teacher! I would add to make sure you dust off the sanding dust after you sand or the primer won't adhere. If you just spray primer on top of that, nothing after will stick.
You make it look sooooo easy....I just helped my hubby drywall in a room and it's not this easy - and sanding is not fun. This just proves to me that people that work in construction are not paid enough. And I'll NEVER do this again. Great video - wish I'd seen it - probably wouldn't have even attempted this.
This video was EXTREMELY helpful! Best tips were the thickness of the mud and thinning it down for each layer, how to taper the joints, knocking down lips with your tool, and work hard to reduce work at the sanding step.
@@scottbrown1820 why don't you make your own video since this one doesn't meet your standards. This guy knows what he is doing, sorry to burst your bubble
Been doing drywall for as long as I can remember, Family owned business mixed mud as a toddler LoL The video is awesome. the only thing do any different is I fill any cracks (can't seem to hang the rock perfect ever !!!) then tape my Butt joints first running tape from flat seem to flat seem, then cover with taping my flats, over laping the Butt seem tape. Do the ceiling and lastly my vertical corners.
Thanks Phil, I'm soon going to use your visit that had educated me to do this myself, ur amazing, easy to understand, not really fast so I can get it first time asks not have to watch over thanks so much
you made it look too easy man. I know if i start it i'll be sanding it for days.....But thank you so much for making this video and sharing with the rest of us.👍👍👍👍👍
You can see the levels of experience by the amount of mud that ends up your clothes. These first three passes, my clothes look like Sarah’s tights. The proof is in the pudding 😂
Awesome video this was super helpful. You make it look so easy. My first attempt at drywall and mine is a hot mess. Looks nothing like yours. Looks like ill be spending the rest of the week sanding!
I am going to try mudding for the first time and this video gives me some good info. The guy who hung my drywall said to use mesh tape, but I've heard most professionals like the paper. By the time I am done, I expect to be wearing a hat made of drywall after doing the ceiling.
Trying to put drywall up in my basement bc i had ppl put a sub pump in and the room in my basement had to have its wall cut for the pump so now a bedroom looks like crap bc of it and i gotta fix it bc the guys who did the pump DIDNT!!!!! First time ever doing anything like this!!!
Thanks Smoke Shop! No, but I use metal corner bead for my outside corners and screw it on rather than nailing 😉 I don’t screw them in at perfect 90’s. Give it a little crimp so your mud has a small valley to fill on each side. Hope that makes sense… For finishing: You will want to use easy sand (90 min) or Durabond for your first coat. It comes in bags and you will need to mix it yourself. Follow the directions on how much water to add. It also sets fast so I would work with a third of a bucket at a time until you feel comfortable doing more. The last two coats can be all purpose and / or topping. Good luck and thanks for the comment!

Money Hungry, thanks for the comment! Love that!
You can see the levels of experience by the amount of mud that ends up your clothes. These first three passes, my clothes look like Sarah’s tights. The proof is in the pudding 😂
😆
I'm very much a beginner. This is helpful. Thank you!!
David Henley that’s great to hear! Thanks for watching!

best video on this topic yet- you guys are super😁
i did NOT do this right today hahahah thanks for the video brother. I defiantly didn't put enough mud to make the tape stick
I feel ready now.
Lets get er done!
Awesome video this was super helpful. You make it look so easy. My first attempt at drywall and mine is a hot mess. Looks nothing like yours. Looks like ill be spending the rest of the week sanding!
😂 it does take a little practice. Thanks for the comment!
I am going to try mudding for the first time and this video gives me some good info. The guy who hung my drywall said to use mesh tape, but I've heard most professionals like the paper. By the time I am done, I expect to be wearing a hat made of drywall after doing the ceiling.
Mesh is great just a little more expensive 😉 have fun and thanks for the comment!
Super nice job
Thank you for your help
Trying to put drywall up in my basement bc i had ppl put a sub pump in and the room in my basement had to have its wall cut for the pump so now a bedroom looks like crap bc of it and i gotta fix it bc the guys who did the pump DIDNT!!!!! First time ever doing anything like this!!!
Great instructions
Great video. I’m a hanger by trade but learning to finish. Learned a lot with the video thx
Blanch johnson Awesome, Thanks for the comment!
Searching your awesome vids... Do you have any videos on how to do an outer corner?
Thanks Smoke Shop! No, but I use metal corner bead for my outside corners and screw it on rather than nailing 😉 I don’t screw them in at perfect 90’s. Give it a little crimp so your mud has a small valley to fill on each side. Hope that makes sense…
For finishing: You will want to use easy sand (90 min) or Durabond for your first coat. It comes in bags and you will need to mix it yourself. Follow the directions on how much water to add. It also sets fast so I would work with a third of a bucket at a time until you feel comfortable doing more. The last two coats can be all purpose and / or topping. Good luck and thanks for the comment!
Thanks for the video
11:52 nice, I'm stealing that joke
