I'm a Painter. Have done some mud work. Trust me folks, mediocre mud has to be fixed or your paint job will look like poo! This guy has some very valuable advice to save headaches in the final product.
This is the best overall description of an actual "Process" for drywall finishing that I have ever seen. I've done a lot of amateur drywall - and it seems like I always put on too much mud and do too much sanding. But the way you describe the 5 stages and how to apply the coats - really gives me some fine tuning that will help me with my current project. Thank you for such an awesome tutorial!
I've watched a lot of Drywall Finishing how to videos.. since I don't have a life... I'm a retired Drywall contractor which included many years of commercial slick wall... and I found very little to fault you on with your technique and skill set.. Very good video.. the best I've seen of RUclips.. the one and only thing that I wouldn't do is to sand between coats for smooth wall since the dust fills the air pockets of the previous coat and like a buttered and dusted cookie sheet, the mud has trouble sticking and when sanding (final sanding) the air pockets can become visible.. as long as you don't sand too much and by that I mean 1 or 2 strokes max... typically I would scrape before applying the next coat but like you I leave every coat very clean so minimal scraping is required..for butt joints I tend to use the rounded side of the 6" knife to get rid of the ridge only on the butt joints and lap marks.. I know.. I'm an over the top perfectionist but from what I see in your video you are as well... take care my skilled friend... AAA++
Letzrockitrite I forgot to add the comment that one should only use blue chalk when mixing for touch up as red will bleed through paint.... thanks again for the GREAT VIDEO !!
Letzrockitrite
I have found that when using "chalk" to tint the touch up mud it DOES dry harder than untinted mud, so it is harder to sand. I now use painters tint. It is the tint use to color paint. It does not make the touch up mud hard, sands easily and there are no issues with "bleeding" thru. Give it a try.
lmao that was funny
I used food colouring
halconsalvaje + lol)]
Excellent video. Explained clearly, one of the best I have seen on youtuble. Great Principals and Sound Techniques. As a professional taper for over 20 years, if you follow the stages as explained your project will be successful. Use your light lamps when accessing for imperfections besides the naked eye visual, hand touch and feel.
I first ran across this video 2 years ago when looking for tutorials after I reinsulating and drywalling my bedroom wall. I always did a poor job when it came to taping and mudding as I'm an IT guy and don't drywall and mud all that often. After watching this video I tried it and my wall came out perfect, I was very happy with my work, thank you for giving me the confidence to tackle this myself saving me money and giving me pride in my work every time I look at my wall. I'm now doing my garage wall since the previous owners installed non fire rated drywall and watching this video again as a refresher.
I found this a thorough tutorial on drywall finishing from beginning to end and demonstrated professionally for enthusiasts to easily follow. I loved the idea of adding dye for detecting where the patches are to be sanded. Thanks for sharing
Awesome video, I might add that you can lower the lights and use a worklight or bright flashlight shining down each seam to find imperfections you might otherwise miss. It's usually overkill but takes it to the next level.
I had a number of "Ahhh. I see" moments watching this. I do minor home repairs and have done a fair amount of mudding where my results have just been "okay". This clarified a number of things that should result in considerably better finishes. Thank you!
The best drywall finishing video I have seen and I have watched a lot. Thanks so much.
the chalk to color the compound is a great idea. ill try it thank you
I'm currently finishing my basement and have watched at a lot of videos on finishing drywall and this one is easily the best video out there! Thank you Mr. Gobeil.
btw, this video is targeted to homeowners.. i've tried using a trowel and find that a knife is better suited for me
+Paul Yee You are welcome, sir.
This guy makes it look super easy but the reality is it's all about the angles of the knife. Depending on the compound you're using, the angle of the knife makes a huge difference. For example I find using sheetrock 90, 45, 20, etc. , having the blade almost parallel with the wall works best, while using finishing compound, having it at more to a 90 degree angle (lets say 65-70 degree angle) reduces bubbles and pock marks. I don't know why this happens, I'm just a jack of all trades and here to help improve my skills.
it's absolutely an art,knowing all the ins &outs..efficiency..perfect perfect perfect painting surface & keeping the sanding down to the minimum, I've done miles of it & no where near as smooth,efficient& fast as guys like this & the bottom line, the paint finish is only good as the prepped walls.
I am a professional builder. I think you covered this subject very well. I find on a remodel, it helps to lay down canvas tarps before you sand and to vent the shop vac out a window with a second length of hose place in the outlet of the machine as drywall dust tends to go everywhere. Thanks'
This video is really helpful for lots of DIYer who need to finish their Drywall. Thank you.
I really like the ideal of adding the color on the touch up skim coat.
old school that's how I learned. I am a 3rd generation finisher. Tape,bed,skim. all purpose for taping light weight for finish. use 180- 220 sandpaper. Finishing can be fun and you can take pride in it.
+Clayton Staggs Can you explain what the purpose of the skim coat is?
I enjoyed the video. Very good tips and techniques to do drywall mud and tape. I would recommend this video to anyone.
If you dont wear a mask while sanding, add a step to this video on the fun of picking mud dust boogers later on in your day.
And, of course, there'd be the next step in which you place them in small, sealable containers where they can be kept until needed for those occasional, small patching jobs. And remember, this economical, homemade patching putty is suitable for interior surfaces only.
Those kind of dust mask are useless at keeping the dust out, the dust will be sucked in around the edges. A person needs a dust mask that has a rubber gasket and filters.
+Austin Tobin ....saying your not peice of shit like most...makes yu sound like a piece of shit douch....
This is a perfect video for me - A homeowner looking to finish up one room in my house. Thanks for the video.
Learned how to mud from some pros a few years back and have to say this is a great video.
I don't know if this video made drywalling easier for me, but you definitely made it look easy.
Great point about the butt joints and how they will always bump out from the wall and to hide it is the trick. Never really made that connection before.
ya make it look so easy. ... thank you for your time
Thanks for posting this good quality well spoken and easy to understand video !
Love the Video. I wish I saw this video before I finished 2 basements. I will use your tip to my third basement project. Thanks,
I'm from Brazil and i work in this área, think this s a good video completely instructive
Very good presentation of the procedure. Well filmed, good explanation, clear speech, and relatively short video given the information provided.
His instructions very easy to understand.
This is by far one of the best drywall videos on YT! wish you could update the video to be watched in 4K (hope I am not asking much!)
excellent video, it always looks easy when a pro does it,totally different when you give it a go
Your video was very instructional and helped me tremendously. Thankyou for posting it.
Good video for the home owner who has only the basic tools.
Now I am ready for a career in drywall finishing.
Leap Frog have fun /s
Its harder than they make it sound. Over 6 years experience.
Machiavelli B. I was joking. I have been in drywall over 20 years. Started with my father.
ummm, no I just messed up couple for the first time, and the 3rd and so forth are awesome and were a piece of cake. I am here for tips on fixing those first couple ones instead of destroying the whole thing. Experience gives you speed.
I appreciate your video! Just completed my theater room, no texture. Came out 1st class thank you!
Great instructions, I just finished a large patch job including installing some replacement drywall. My joints look better than the original "professional" work. Rule number 1-patience, don't rush it.
sure dude ...then they where not professional
+Karl Hammerberg I always find that my drywall work both looks better and lasts longer than all the professional drywall work I have paid "professionals" to do. That said, I still have a greater tendency to hire out drywall work . . . the "professionals" get it done so quickly . . . perhaps that may be contributing to why my work turns out better . . . at 3-4 times as long to do.
I like this video it
helped learn how to sand properly … a little heads up for
everyone who plans on doing this. While I was doing this I had a hard time with
all of the dust. I needed something to filter the air but I cannot use the
typical dust mask because my safety glasses always fog up. My neighbor told me
about a cool product the Air Commander Respirator. I bought it off of Amazon
and it filtered the air just great without fogging my glasses. Anyway thanks
for the great video now I have to start sanding the ceilings yuck!
If you shine a light at an angle on the wall you can easily find all imperfections. If you don't find them this way, once painted any sunlight from windows or lights will show them.
Just did my 1st taping/mudding. Did like 8 coats haha. I was doing fine at first then I made newbie mistakes like sanding too hard to expose the tape, then tried the wet sponge and scrubbed too hard to fuzz up the drywall paper. Got impatient and used 20-min quick set, spread it thickly thinking "i'll just sand it later" only to find out not only is it much harder to sand than 24hr mud, but it's also a LOT more dusty. Lesson learned is I just need to apply adequate tape bed and super fine 1st coat, then wait 'til tomorrow, where i'll apply a super thin 2nd coat. Wait another day and apply thin coat to the whole wall. Wait another day then sand/sponge lightly.
This is a stellar video. Fantastic workmanship and professionalism. Thank you
Thank you for providing this video. I have it bookmarked and keep coming back to it for reference.
Lol we do a second coat even if there are any ridges then we sand after the final bed and touch it up, it actually saves alot of time
Wow, best how to video ever.
Great video, love the idea of the chalk coloring at the end, I could probably use food coloring also. have a great day
Good job sir you have a
smooth finish
And a steady hand
Thanks for the video! Just bought a house- has an unfinished garage, which I'm planning on changing soon. Your video will definitely help!

Great video! Thanks for posting it with such detail.
this guy knows what he's talking about
great info. Thank you for the thorough explanation
Excellent instructions
thanks for the training.
many thanks for the great video
I always first coat my tape after bedding it...I ALWAYS do one corner side...I don't use the inside corner knife but when my next coat goes on, the corners are ready for sanding and sometimes only a third touch up coat is needed.
awesome iam so impressed with my finishing,thankyou
6'' 10'' 12'' Knife. I do Drywall for a living. Paper Tape and light weight mud.
Awesome video! Very helpful! Thank you!
Very informative and easy to understand thank you!
Well, I thought did wonderful job, and seemed very professional!!! It certainly helped with my ongoing projects.
You guys need to get a life!!!!
very good techniques thanks for sharing.
Very nice. However, lol, I would include the WAIT times between jobs, i.e. filling in the joints with mud then placing the tape then WAITING (for how long?). Also, I would Explain what Feathering entails. JMHO.
first time I've ever seen someone jump straight to the 12" knife on the first layer
really the only way to do corner bead
Justin Under .....8 inch 1st coat then 10 inch, polish with the 12
I love this video , really help fully
How the hell do you do this in a black shirt and keep it clean???
Very helpful training video. Thank you.
Very good explanation!
many of thanks, I used the food colouring instead of chalk and more lighting.
Great video! Learned a lot!
I’d appreciate it if you tell me what type compound you used on your levels 2 through 4. Thanks!
Excellent video ... many thanks.
Very well done training video
Excellent video. How do you handle a situation where the joint shows through the paint after the wall has been finished?
Nicholas - sand the paint (just rough it up so the compound will stick). Then apply a coat of compound on either side of the tape. Feather each side to the tape (so you will not actually be leaving any compound on the tape). It will look like you put two 12" coats of mud side by side. But this will hide the joint.
Excellent video!!
Usually on a butt joint, doubling out the sides with a twelve curve trowel is part of the first coat
Fantastic how to video
THANKS FOR SHARING
You did a great job! You did make it hard for yourself though.
i'm finishing my basement bathroom. it has taken me forever and looks like shit at current. i sanded it and it should have been ready for a final skim, however, the tape is exposed in many areas and the drywall paper is roughed up everywhere.
i'm frustrated to the point where i'm going to slap up some primer to lock in my current progress, then continue mudding from there until acceptable. sound like a good plan? i can't hire a pro, either.
Great brides men thanks
I would like to ask you a question if I may. The question is on the exterior wall on the inside of the house, some one can slap, not very hard, the wall or sheetrock and several feet away you can fell the sheet rock vibrate. What do you think the cause of the vibration to be? Thank you for any information
excellent video
Does the end of this video mean it's time for paint? what's the next step?
