I'm renovating a bedroom right along with you and I want to say thanks. The videos are a great help. I did plaster work last in 1973 when my dad and I built the interior walls of this house. Now, in 2019 I have returned home after a zillion termites had their way with some of my interior walls. After tearing them out and rebuilding the stud work and walls (this time with ground contact lumber), replacing the electrical wiring and boxes, and hanging the sheetrock, I'm in the plaster stage. Again thanks for the refresher course. A lot has changed since 1973 (including my back and muscles) and it helps to see how new materials and tools have made the job easier. Keep the videos coming.
U literally got the entire trade school in ur RUclips channel.
Jeff, I just want to say "Thank you" for all the great videos you have put together over the last few years and put online. It has been great to see what someone like yourself can do for all of us that are not a professional contractor. I have not only learned some very valuable tricks but your videos have helped me in so may ways. Thanks, Rock N.
great videos - very helpful. I'm doing a renovation of an old schoolhouse built in 1872 and I'm really benefitting from your expert advice on drywall! I can plumb do electrical, framing, and hack finish work but I've always been pretty scared of doing drywall but I'm getting some confidence watching your videos.
I have never had a problem using mesh tape when I do DIY projects. Never have used special mud either. Great video either way thanks.
Thanks Jeff, you've helped me so much with my first reno. There is a kinesthetic understanding that comes with watching you use a knife and work the mud. it's like my body sees and understands. Then when I am on the job, the movement comes with a familiarity and I can tune in to the finer details of angle and pressure that would take so long to develop without it.
Thank you.
Agreed...this guy has a way of explaining that really sticks. I pretty much live on this guys channel for home reno DIY
@@vector006 He really is the best on RUclips for this stuff.
Jeff great technique... I had gaps between the drywall and my wife was going crazy that it wouldn't be hidden. With this video I was able to hide all gaps and it came out awesome. Thanks again
Right on Lance. Looking forward to seeing those pics.
I would have told my wife to go back to bed
I love these videos. The best part is the close-up shots like 5:08. For someone who is a first timer and OCD, it's a life saver.
When I started my house renovation, I chased my tail all day long to make my mudding super smooth and that was very frustrating to the point that I was losing interest in completing the project.
Thanks for these videos once again.
Thanks from a builder (aka construction guy in US !) In UK, I've watched a lot of tape & joint videos and yours are by far the best, you work quickly & cleanly, and carry out all your various works to an high standard, appreciate you sharing your knowledge.
Thanks, I hope this helped. Cheers to the SouthWest!
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY, thanks man, keep up the good work mate
I can't even begin to say how helpful all your videos are. I'm a total newbie and I'm going about my business like a pro (in probably 4x the time, but at least it's nice and tight). THANK YOU for all the videos!!!
Thanks for all your great tips! I'm going through the drywall series for the second time.....it gives my shoulders a break, and you my friend, have saved me from making a lot of mistakes and a large mess. Because my shoulders were so sore, I ended up using a plastic Ziploc baggie as a piping bag to fill the gaps, i was amazed how easy and quick it was. Once they were filled, I waited a few minutes and went back with a sharp 4" and trimmed out the excess it made taping really smooth too. I found some proper concrete piping bags at HD but I liked that I didn't have extra cleanup and I only used one bag to do 1 1/2 rooms.....not really worth buying one.
Great tip. that is awesome.
Freezer bags are strong!
Now I know why I was having so much trouble with the mesh tape probably using the wrong mud ???? Nice tip on apply the mud using the side of knife I've always used the straight knife approach Great tips all in all 😎
Thanks Kelvin, Cheers!
I can tell you are professional because you got into a groove and you have some style and flair doing your mudding. Great video and thanks for the advice about not using mesh tape with regular mud.
I redid an enclosed porch. Roof shingles, insulation, vapour barrier, drywall. I was stuck at this point due to the lack of knowledge with mud. Thought I bought the wrong tape but in fact it was just what I needed, the fiberglass tape. Hardener mud is next on the shopping list. Thank you very very much
If I wasnt watching these videos I would have totally skipped over this step and went straight to taping. Great video. Very clear and easy to understand. Thank you for putting this together. On to the next video for my bathroom project.
Thank you so much for these incredibly helpful videos. I just did the gap filling phase last night on my new walk-in, taping it tonight. All thanks to the knowledge these vids have bestowed upon me. Much love from Cali.
Great tutorial Jeff! Did a few California patches from your other video with 20 mud. Patches came out "perfect every time!" Worked like a charm. Definitely switching to the 45 mud for larger area til I get the technique down.
i am about to drywall for the first time and this is so helpful, thank you so much for this series of videos!
Man you are fantastic!!! I´m opening a drywall company in Brasília-Brazil and your tips are helping me a lot to improve my skills.
Thanks for sharing these magic techniques. God bless you!!! =)
Good luck Walter! And Cheers to Brazil!
OMG....i wish I would have watched this prior to my attempt at mudding/taping. You obviously have learned by experience.....I made every mistake that you warn against. Thankfully I will use your great advise and demonstrative skills moving forward.
Thanks for your videos!!
Glad to be of help. Cheers to the future.
Really enjoying learning from these videos ! I’ve used a hawk and trowel for years as a tile contractor- so cool to see them used for drywall mudding instead of the normal tools.
Thank you for your step by step videos, I rebuilt my deck and fence by watching your detail videos, now next project is installing drywall in basement staircase
Thanks for sharing that. If you have any specific questions as you go, just send me a comment. I answer them all twice a day.
"If at first you dont succeed try try again." Thanks Drywall Bob Ross
Happy mud! Cheers!
The series is great. Even though I have years of experience as a DIY home builder, I learned a lot I did not know and will make the new house look much better.
I just love your attitude
God I cant thank you enough for making this video! I love that your straight and to the point.
Wow. Thanks alot. This video helped me alot. Well this whole drywall series. But this one and the mixing video the most.
OH and FYI i think it's these type of correction videos that are so beneficial for us noobs!!
Hi! Thank you! So will you use paper tape over the mesh tape after it dries??? What are your thoughts on pre-mixed mud?
Lots of great pointers here...thank you!!
I'm about to start today using your videos as a guide. Just wanted to say thanks for the complete walkthrough! Cheers from NS.
Good luck. I hope all the info you need is there. We are here to answer questions if you get stumped. Cheers N.S.
I enjoy watching your videos and have helped out so much on a few things that were a life saver and time saving
these videos are very informative!!! They are helping my husband and I hang dry wall at our house. THANKS!
Thanks, the how to do the taping and first coat mud video comes out this friday.
thank you for the great suggestion using the mesh tape
Great tips, excellent techniques. I love your attention to detail and work- smarter tips.
Thanks a lot, really glad to get that feedback>
One thing I noticed is that Jeff swipes the mud off the hawk 'up-side-down'. He never actually mentions this anywhere in the course that I remember. That allows him to do one smooth move from hawk to wall. I'm new to this and always scooped it up and then had to turn my hand to apply to the wall. Wish I had noticed this earlier. I assume it requires a very precise mud mixture so it doesn't fall off on the way from the hawk to the wall. Every time I watch these I learn something new.
Thank you for doing these videos. Really great audio and you can actually see what you are doing. I wish I would have found them before we started cutting/hanging drywall. We filled gaps yesterday and have questions.
1. My husband got carried away and started filling gaps that weren't really gaps but seams. He didn't fill the entire length and stopped halfway down the line. Will that be problematic when taping? Should we fill the line the rest of the way before taping?
2. When we filled gaps it eliminated the gap. Does tape need to cure in the gap? How do you accomplish if gap is filled?
3. We had a cpl rough mud areas while filling gaps. Would it be ok to sand them now, before taping to make it flatter?
Hi Shelly, The best thing to do now is sand the joints so that they are smooth. And start taping as if nothing happened. You might find you need to use the wide joint technique on areas that were filled in prematurely. Just remember ( it is only drywall) you can always stretch a joint to conceal a bump and you can always sand the imperfections away. Good luck! Let me know how it goes.
Home RenoVision DIY thank you!!
Any time, we are here to help with your questions.
What about durabond 90 vs the 45 minute mud for a first timer? Thankful for these videos. I have watched others videos years ago and have tried and failed in my attempts at this. Your videos spell out exactly where I went wrong and I now feel like i have the confidence and knowledge to try it again. Thank you!!! Best videos out there!
Thanks Jeff. All the drywall videos are very helpful.
Cheers!
Great videos. I was having thoughts about getting someone in to tape and mud, until I found your video series. I just finished filling gaps with the Sheetrock 45 compound. You are right about working quickly. Almost without warning it instantly goes from being workable to being rock. Although I made only small batches, I think I ended up throwing more out than actually went on the wall. Lol.
With practice this won't happen. Still cheaper than hiring someone. Besides most contractors don't fill gaps. They cheat and let it crack years down the road.
Home RenoVision DIY Not sure if I missed it, but when following the steps, is the ceiling just treated as another wall or do you start taping ceiling joint first? Thanks
Just treat inside, outside or tapered or butt joints the same no matter where you find them.
Thanks for your videos, I'm working on a home remodel and your videos are very helpful. I have subscribed and have been watching getting ready for mudding and tapping tomorrow.
Lots of people dread mudding but i think it looks like fun, good thing i have a whole house to do 😏
What I do in such situations is, I mix some of mud joint compound with gypsum and fill in those gaps. It works better and saves lots of time.
Sounds like a good idea like wood filler. How much gypsum are you adding and are you crushing it till it's a powder or using the small brokenpieces?
Having two wiser men help me do drywall in my home. One works the paper tape and other fiber mesh. As the ignorant one, I felt both would work fine. But, after watching and hearing your comment about the fiber, I've a new feel. If that fiber peals off and that wiser one that liked fiber tape hasn't feathered away in age, I'm gonna help him!
As long as they use the right mud respectfully I am sure you will be fine.
I like the mesh trick. Very nice.
Cheers!
very helpful videos! Thank you for making this series.
Thank you for making these videos!
Our pleasure Neo!
Excellent video series, Jeff. You've simplified this for us!!
I love your videos, they are a lot less distracting without the black eye.
agreed! Cheers!
Phew, Thought I might have had to start again :) Life Saver !!
lol i know it
Thank you for your videos. I'm really learning a lot...
man this guy is a good instructor
Im about to put into practice what I have learned from your dywall vidz. I've been mentally preparing, getting the tools I need, sanding my knives, wish me luck!
Am jamaica like what u doing
Such An Awesome Video! Great Job!
Great video. Watched a few already. Been so helpful!
Question - so for filling gaps, you recommend compound with hardener instead of using the all purpose?
yes.
Thanks for the tips. I am working on framing my basement and then I will be doing drywall.
We are just in time. We will be showing the taping process over the next few weeks.
Youre videos are good something about the way your showing and describing that makes very helpful. Thanks for posting
Thanks for the comment. Cheers
GREAT LESSONS, THANK YOU
Fantastic advice Jeff and cheers for sharing!
Cheers for watching.
Thi was super helpful. Thank you Drywall Bob Ross.
So helpful, thank you for this.
Your videos are great. Quick question: Do I need to worry about filling in gaps at the ceiling/wall joint if I install crown molding? Also, my drywall along the floor isn't neat and pretty, but does it matter if the trim will cover it up?
You are so professional thanks
Thank you!
A couple of useful tips, thanks!
Make sure you subscribed, thanks Joe!
Thanks SO much for this! Your videos are a life saver!👏👏👏
WAs very helpful in helping to fill in gaps where the drywall didn't fill in using tape
Thanks
Word. You're good.
After you fill the gaps are you immediately taping the joints afterwards and if so are you using the sheetrock 45 to cover the tape or the drywall compound..
great vids. in another drywall tips/tricks vid, you suggested using spray foam to fill drywall gaps. why not use similar strategy here (before tape)?
the videos are great! have helped added to my knowledge and informed me of missing information. would you ever do videos of how to run new electrical lines on a closed wall?
I amnot an electrician so I am waiting until i do my own kitchen reno before sharing all my electrical knowledge.
Your a genius, beautiful technique...
Can you please explain when you’d use expanding foam to fill a gap versus when you’d use mesh with quickset?
Sorry to bombard you man I'm just trying to get my head around the progression of mud types here. - So is hot mud good to use for ALL initial taping in addition to filling gaps? In the video you filled one ceiling joint but didn't tape it....with gaps are they supposed to be filled and taped while wet or should the hot mud set first, then be taped over once it dries?
I liked your shed build video. Would consider making a video using Pylex foundation piles for a shed or deck?
I have used the product. Just waiting for another year to ensure I am happy with it.
What if you are working with a previously finished ceiling in place? How do you recommend filling gaps, when you don't want tape or mud on the finished ceiling?
New to all of this as I’m trying to learn as much as possible before buying our “forever home.” These are great videos Jeff! Stupid question… Do you just add more water to the bucket in order to prevent the mud from hardening up while you are working around the room? Also I know you cannot simply dispose of oil based paint so how do you get rid of excess mud? Thanks!!
Thanks Jeff! Great Video :)
I just used some spray foam since I had some other gaps in insulation and some extra. I'll just use a blade to cut it flush to the gap, tape over. Have you ever?
yup. works great!
You have very informative videos.
Thank you Jack!
Hi good videos, can u put something on how to tape uneven drywall, like if u have a factory edge and a cut edge for example ? Thanks
As a beginner (as in, never done this before) the 45 min mud makes me nervous. I think to use the normal stuff if possible, even if it takes longer. The pre-made mud seems ideal.
I understand your concern with the 45 minute mud. The reason why it works better in filling gaps vs regular mud s when it dries it's like concrete. Regular mud does get hard, after about 24 hrs, but it'll be prone to crack and not hold that well. My professional advise is Start with a small amount 1st until you get more comfortable!
Wonderful. Thank you
Good video appreciate it thank you looks like you're doing a nice job
Thanks, a good taping job should be clean!
really good!
If you come to a situation where the gap is too big and you have to use mesh tape to fill the gap, do you comeback with paper tape for "regular taping"? Or do you just go back with a second coat to finish it?
So we're (wife and I) redoing the inside of our house. We tore apart our bathroom and after putting up the sheetrock there were some gaps. I filled them using the compound with the hardener as you recommended. Not being very experience in this I had the excess mud. Can that be stored or does it have to be disposed? If disposed, what method do you recommend? Love your videos btw. We used one to build our deck.
This is awesome!!!!!
Thanks Daniel! Cheers!
Nice tips
Your awsome thank you
Great video, thank you very much, I’m a hack doing a drywall repair on a ceiling that is not square, I have one seam that has a 1/2” gap, your video will help me fill the gap, I wasn’t sure how to do it. I have the mesh tap, my gap is not a corner, it’s in middle of ceiling, I still place the tape over the gap and just fill with joint compound
If you dont have a big drill for mixing alot of mud at once can you use a regular drill and still mix half a bucket at a time
Do you use internal and external metal/plastic corners? Fibreglass tape goes on first. lol It's not going to stick otherwise. You already know that.
Hi Jeff, Absolutely love your videos. I'm installing a drop ceiling in my garage. Should I do the ceiling first if plan on finishing the walls with drywall?
Thanks for your videos. I have a question. Do you use Sheetrock 45 on your taped joints or just patch work? If not what type do you use on tape joints? Thanks for your time and answering in advance.
Hey Jeff your videos are helping me greatly I learn something new every time I watch u doing something... but I bought sheetrock 90 instead of 45 and all purpose mud instead of machine mud and in this pandemic it's hard to do returns I also bought metal corners for my bulkheads is that okay ?
Yeah. You will be fine .
I wish I would’ve seen this before I did my basement, thanks
Do you use the sheetrock45 to fill all inside corner beads, midwall bevel spots where the sheets of drywall meet and where the wall and ceiling meet before mudding and taping?
It's always a good idea to pre fill all the butt joints and flats, aka bevels, before you start taping. Make sure you "v" out the butt joints with a utility nice to get rid of loose paper. You'll get conflicting advise but that's what I do. I only use that to put corner bead on when I need to apply and coat the bead the same day.
Can you extend the pot life of 45 minute mud or do you just mix what you can use in 45 minutes?
