It somehow seems unfair that people who move with such fluid artistry rarely get recognized for their talents. Thank you for sharing.
It's called practice ...
@@ChillyDippers No shit, Sherlock
You made that look SUPER EASY. Which equates to: you've been doing this for YEARS, thru Trial & Error found a Technique that works for you, and have PERFECTED your Method!👍⚡💪🏾

Fantastic job men, the fella with the beard is poetry in motion. Your method will be used on my ceiling, to create the perfect Matt white projection screen for reflections from my lake and prism rainbows. Therefore, your work shall echo across space and time to the Atlantic coast of Ireland, and will be pleased to send pictures of final results…
Great video! I love the technique used. I like it more than some of the fancy YTubers use. Can't wait to try it this weekend. I'm doing a huge project and I'm super green so I'm always looking for ways to get better and more efficient.
How did it all go for you
Wow, great video. It makes me want to go back tear down what I've already done "wrong" and do it again. I learned how to apply the tape correctly, and squeeze out all of the excess mud before applying the 2nd final coat. Simple technique to help us DIYers. Thank you guys.
I'm impressed, you made it look so simple, I can't wait for the weekend to try it. thanks....
Excellent job on taping. My biggest concern is usually either having bubbles or accidentally displacing tapes.
Nice technique and very smooth. Great job Max and Eugene.
Thanks Tom

Well done, like a real professional.
They make it look so easy. I have a rental I'm working on on,trust me my work DOESN'T look anywhere near as neat as theirs.😅😅😅
Bit of practice, and you will get better... Thanks for watching.
Awesome talented tradesman…thank you 👍
Nice vid mate. When doing drywall I often give the paper a quick dampening with a garden spray bottle or sometimes dunk it in a bucket of water and squeeze out excess with finger before setting it in and glazing over, seems to come up pretty good, although have to pre cut the tape beforehand a bit oversize.... Picked up a tip from one of your vids you put up a while ago of a guy using a toilet brush to put mud on internal corners, tried it out yesterday waaaaay quicker! awesome stuff mate.
Yeah that was Gary, he's got loads of great tips. Thanks for your tip of wetting the tape bedding it in. I will try that. It makes a lot of sense
@@Maxkil No worries mate, I've found wetting it helps with the bonding of mud to paper better. Comes up really nice to as paper isnt sucking out the moisture of the skim/glaze coat like crazy
BEAUTIFUL GREAT NICE JOB!!! GENIUSES!! WE NEED TO LEARN FROM YOU GUYS NOW, HOW TO LAYER DRYWALL ON THE CEILING TO NEUTRALIZE NEIGHBORS UPSTAIRS APT EAR DESTROYING, EARDRUMS CONTAMINATING NOISE!!! LOL. GOD BLESS ❤
I always watch these videos after I try it myself and do it wrong, then have to redo it haha. Redoing a closet ceiling that was damaged by leaking pipe.
I’m looking for a video on how to tape around the edges of the ceiling, where the wall meets the ceiling. Do you have a video for that?
Nice job, guys!
Nice clean work buddy! Nice.....
Your way the best max👍👍👍
your too kind 🤗😊
Why didn't I watch this before I jacked up my ceiling 🤦🏽♂️
Let us know the name of music 🎶 , Cheers 🍻
I have read through the entire thread and found the gap between the ceiling and walls will be resolved with a cornice. How do you finish those spaces between the wall and ceiling if you don't use the cornice method?
Simple love it 😍
enjoyed the video but it was hard to hear with the music and the echo in the room. A mic would have made it better. Thanks.
Regards from Portugal
It looks easy because he’s using a small scaffold but when you have to use a ladder, slide it and go up and down a few times, it’s a different story and not so smooth.
Can't hear you over the music
Great video thanks.
this beat is fire 🔥.. What is the name of the first track?
Yeah I thought it was pretty mean! Klondike by Audio Hertz I actually used it again on my latest video also a taping video only a million times better than me here ruclips.net/video/FwNRSGeyFHk/видео.html
I'm just curious. Why dont you use a side winder (tape reel)
Actually i've never used one, though i totally agree, it was difficult to hold such a large roll. I really should get a side winder if i'm to do that more often. Thanks for the tip
Thank u 4 ur sharing experience .keep it up!
that boarding job is pretty bad near the ceiling?
Heyy buddy
Havent had you come up in algorithm’s for a while wondered how you were going
Merry Christmas mate
I like the veterans way, that my style
I like that little step you have. Where did you get that? Great video! Thanks
Quick question, after this you just sand and paint or you will also apply this cement throughout?
Sand then another coat over tape then sand again and then paint. No not whole ceiling needs mud or compound..
Do you have to sand over it after it dries in order to paint over it so no seams are seen? Thank you.
Yeah you definitely need to sand it and give it a good undercoat
I've found using a larger scraper/applicator run across the surface to scrape it works well for a smooth finish in leu of sanding, I'd play around and see if you like the results.
dank video famo
why did you hang the ceiling drywall that way? could you have staggerd the boards in a different way?
Right. I'd never allow the butt joints to all line up,tapered yeah,but not the butt. Also could apply taping mud faster if you run the knife sideways. You can tell hes done it awhile,but got stuck on one way rather than constantly improving. If I hired him I wouldn't complain though,still did a good job.
“Give me some mud stoopit”. Lol
I am doing the same thing.
so good!
Setting mud for tape coat...always.
Why is that. Clearly states on our manufacturers specs what you can use.
I have to do the ceiling in a 7x7 ft bathroom with a shower in it. Is the technique the same with moisture resistant drywall and what grit of sandpaper should be used? Also, do you suggest taping the edges where the ceiling meets the wall or doing a crown molding?
I don't use tape in high humidity
How do you sand so it doesn’t show thru paint?
Get a really fine grit sandpaper, like 220 grit or an even higher at the end after sanding off the bulk of what you’re trying to remove. The higher # grit sandpaper, the smoother the finish. Hope this tip wasn’t too late 😁
Every one is different.
How do you finish those spaces between the wall and ceiling? Do you just leave the like that? And put trim on it?
They use a cornice. Its a paper plasterboard trim, they come in alot of sizes but commonly 70 and 90mm
Helpful video! One quick question....do you mix your own mud or use it straight out the bucket?
1 mud / water 💦 1/2 a cup
2 apply mud 6”
3 tape
4 more mud
Don’t go crazy juste make sure ur tape is well muddy put a fan if there no air (1first mud)
Music needs to be louder and more annoying.
Sorry about that, there was probably a radio in the background
lmfao king post
Okay and thanks!😄
Very helpful, thank you. 😎👍
Shouldn't the space where the ceiling meets the wall be done first?
Not sure if yes or no, but I've heard one person say (on similar case) that it helps to have a flat surface at those factory edges. So if they didn't do those ceiling ones first, then they would have a divot when doing the ceiling corner to deal with. But now it will be flat because the factory edges were filled in. Not sure if that's the logic for it, but just a thought. Hopefully makes sense
@@Kalikovision7 makes sense - thank you..
As mentioned in video there is no setting of ceiling to wall. A cornice is simply stuck on which covers all gaps.
Good job
What products do you recommend?
Hi there, great vid... Could you help me? I want to tape and joint a ceiling inside a container home... The ceiling flexes by almost an inch along a 30 foot span when I'm walking on the roof for maintenance... Is there a special flexible mud I can use along with tape in the joins that will avoid cracking down the line. Thanks
Ahh you don't have mud job you have a structure job..... You need to add bracing to remove that flex before mudding.
Thanks a lot for your help!!!!👍👍 I will do that
What do I use for the tape,cornice adhesive or crack filler
Cornice Cement👍
My neck hurst watching the bearded guy.lol
Thank u👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
How about those corner gaps. I would of brought it up closer to the lid
thank you for your video. where do you buy your platform ladder ? i have just short one. you have a long one. where do i buy it? please let me know.

Mesmerizing. My house is 124 yrs old and we're patching a hole in the ceiling (after water leak) and there's so many layers of sheetrock and wooden slats, that there's not a flush, level joint anywhere to be found! Lol 😢
Yeah I don't know why they do that. I'm assuming you are in UK or somewhere.
in an unfinished garage....is tape needed?..... Or can the sheetrock joints be mudded only?...... Also there will be no paint.,...if that matters
yes, tape is needed, all joints must be sealed, carbon monoxide, paint optional
If you dont tape, the join will eventually crack.
You'll end up applying 5x as much mud only to have it crack. Tape is a yes for anything larger then a screw head
can barely hear him talk and you placed music over top?
There is a spot on my ceiling where it has a inch gap is that still ok to mud over
Use "easy sand 45" plaster for 1 inch gaps
You are a n artist. What took you 5 minutes ,I did in one hour
What is that tape name?
Is it critical to use tape in the corners with the ceiling or even the walls? Seems like caulking would do a nice job if the sheetrock is tight. I am tempted to just use caulking on a small remodel job in my house. What do you think? so...tape and mud, sand, mud, tape, mud to finish, caulk corners. Let dry. Prime. paint. Done.
My tape is coming off on my calling when doing a second coat what did I do wrong.
Possibly lack of mud behind the tape or it had dried too fast.
@@angelf9800 mix sheetrock 90 for all seams then regular drywall mud over the seams then paper then wipe the mud off
great 😃
Fire the hangers on that crew. I mean thats way too much to prefill
Csr sheets have recess, ceiling to wall covered by cornice. As he mentions, no need to square set celing/wall. 70mm cornice hides all.
Just get a dispenser omg so much easier
The music, why?
do you have to put mud before the taping
Yes you do..
Who the fuck hung the boards? Geez.
I was wondering the same thing. I'm a complete novice but you always put the first pieces all the way up to the ceiling and not leave giant gaps everywhere / fill in screwed up cuts with partial pieces lol. Even if it's not code there to leave big gaps, why wouldn't you just make it clean?
Lol I thought the same. Looks like they did the walls first 🤷♂️ Otherwise idk why there was huge gaps all around the room
We use cornice to cover the gap in Australia
@loganruming1080 thanks mate, many people can't understand how it's done in Australia
@@Maxkil What's to understand? Do the ceiling first, butt the wall boards up to that, then rip the lower boards to fit.
Is that a paper tape?
So the key is to apply thin layers of Mud huh🤔
Job,job,job.....
Come on now, seasoned veteran would not apply mud like that
Iam painter,give me job....
This guy gotta be 7 foot 9
👍
why dont you use a banjo
Set up time for small job like that for a banjo or bazooka isn't worth it.
Please,help me.......
I live in bahrain...
What part of his accent made you think that he has a job in Bahrain to give you? 🤦♂️
hard to hear what you're saying because of the extremely annoying music...unable to watch any more of it. If you're talking, silence is a good background.
Then watch a different video. There's 100s if not thousands of them. Your complaining doesn't change the video nor the way he makes his videos.
there's literally no music. that was the intro
ربى يقويك
I’m 4.11 reaching is my challenge 😂
Yeah makes it a bit harder
Would have watched a video without crappy trap music
too slow and use a tool for your paper
Depends if you get paid by the hour or foot
If you are going to post videos of mudding/taping at least know what tape to use and where...paper tape is only used in the corners where wall meets wall or wall meets ceiling!
Mesh tape goes over all other applications.
Mesh tape on your house lol. Paper tape can be used anywhere,
@@Maxkil ...thats why it has a crease down the length you dimwit!
@@rkruts5667 oh ok so paper tape is only used for internal sure
@@Maxkil ...yes. other reason is that it is flexible and allows for a few millimeters of movement to prevent cracking. Paper tape on stress joints (drywall on ceiling or walls) will dry out and is prone to cracking. There is little to no movement in wood structures where walls meet ceilings and that is why it is used in those locations and because it is firm...but should ALWAYS be soaked in water after cut to length...and apllied on top of the compound.
Paper tape can be used on butt joints and any internal application. Mesh tape is used generally by folks doing home repairs lol
Painfully slow.
Ouch
Maxkil went to watch McPhee vid... oh that’s right there ain’t one 😂
@@mickfalvey6045 thanks mate
I agree, he should of rushed through the whole thing while trying to teach us so we have to stop and rewind every 10 seconds 👍
@@Maxkil
Talking about the Tools used & the technique ..Keep at it son Speed comes with time & learning other peoples tips
Your definitely doing that wrong bro ahah
I would show you the real way I’ve been with my company for 7 years
Nah. There’s not one right way to do it. 👍🏻
Tooooo slow
What a joke
