    I took on mudding our entire home, (after all new drywall), and I had zero experience in anything renovation. Your excellent videos has not only made it possible for me to do the job myself; I am already only leaving mistakes that would take the close eye of a pro to completely dime me out on. Thank you very much!!!

    • @laughingkars889

      A double butted trowel would probably help to get a better finish & always go plain steel, not stainless as it keeps a sharper edge. Less sanding down after.

    Also wish more tapers would consider the carpenter.. I've been a carpenter for 35 years and things are to the point nowadays where I have to clean 3 out of 4 inside corners when running base and hanging doors has become a nightmare also due to the taper cleaning his trowel off in the door opening or running the horizontal tape long and folding over into the door opening. Ughhhhhhhh next thing you know that half inch you have to shim a door plumb is now an 1/8" or less. Or they let the drywall hang into the door rough opening. Good grief.
    But alas... Your a carpenter too so you know about what things can hassle the carpenter thus you don't do it to those extents.. Lol.

    That was a sweet move where you used the front of the trowel upside down to scoop the booger off the bead.

    I would love to see an episode doing a inside corner joint repair where it meets a horizontal tape joint and feathering out the point where you have a joint of new corner tape meeting old corner tape and a horizontal joint all at the same point. I’ve done it successfully in 3 coats but I had to feather it out close 24” to get it hidden. Love your videos and you do great work!

    I'm currently finishing a small room in our house with lots of weird jut outs and outside corners. I would love to see another video on finishing a corner bead, especially seeing more of the texture that you're happy with. I find it extremely hard to get a perfectly smooth finish on the first coat. The more I try to finesse it, the more I mess it up. What is fixable once dry (can be scraped off or filled with second or third coats), and what do you want to fix while it's wet. Thanks
