May not be good for drywall but when I caulk I put my bead down use very small amount of dish soap so it won't stick to finger and it gives a smooth professional looking line. You will have to keep applying soap along the way depending on how long the bead is. Learned this trick in Germany.

During a precision caulking job. Tape the tube of caulk to the gun to stop rotation problem. Cut the "SMALLEST!!!" 45 degree hole possible in the tip. Clean any burrs off the tip with a file or sand paper.
I'm a huge fan of setting compound. "Hot Mud" in the bag. Can be applied an inch thick and will set up hard as concrete in 5 min or 90 minutes depending on what type you buy. Then can be wet sanded with a spray bottle and a sanding sponge. Use a bucket of water to clean sponge when it loads up. Dustless repairs.
A little off subject of this video but Ive watched a few of your videos and decided to hang sheetrock over the wood walls in my 100yo house bathroom then I taped and mudded it. wasn't all that hard at all and turned out really good. I believe its because of all the body work I've done on cars over the years using bondo and block sanding and knowing how to feather it out to make mud lines disappear.
A note book or pad of paper is the best thing in the world to wipe your fingers on during a caulk job. When paper gets full just tear it off. Fold it in half to keep from getting caulk on something. Then start with a new sheet. Paper towels are terrible and make a mess. They don't clean your fingers very well, leave lint, and they tear and stick to your fingers after a while.
I have some settling cracks in corners where the tape has released from the board and torn apart. How do I replace the tape now? Sand down the old mud?
I'll be caulking corners in about 30minutes. Hairline cracks but I'll still score them gently. Gotta work this weekend, pushing to finish ahead of schedule.
You did a great job a such a terrible job lol. I bought a house and have a crack like this in the kitchen. Just one. I can’t imagine doing a whole house 😂. Subbed. Thank you sir
We just redid part of our house and it’s old well over a 100 years and a crack appeared and my husband was freaking out. Told him it hasn’t been a year and we still need to jack up the floor some and it’s bound to happen.😅😂 I want to jack the floor in two more spots and wait a few months then fix the crack. Let every thing settle.
Hi! I’ve been watching your drywall videos and I completed a small room and is looking good. After sanding do I need to caulk all the corners (level 3) and the prime or should I prime and then caulk? Thank You 🙏🏼
You don't want soapy water on the surface you're caulking. It'll prevent the caulk from sticking to the surface. Soapy water after, as you clean up is cool.
A man after my own heat. Useing masking tape to collect exesse caulkng , great. Haven't we all seen the guy carrying 2 and a half tubes of dry cau;king on his jeans in the builders supply store. I tape a piece of paper near by to deal with the caulking excess. I also use tape to mack out studs when installing hand rails and grab bars. No pencil marks, looks like it has been there forever. I will bet we could trade caulking stories till it gets dark.
Lookin good but if you really want it to hold up you should try elastomeric caulking it has way more flex in long run and even has a little texture in it for those textured walls. Dont get me wrong love Dap fast dry but more for trimwork...
We’re in the same boat and closing on our new home next week. We had an expert out to examine the foundation, and once he cleared it, we had a structural engineer out to evaluate drywall crack causes. In our case drywall cracking was attributed to multiple causes, ie. roof leak, time and perhaps an inexperienced taper or rushed job when house was built. Was a relatively inexpensive charge for the peace of mind it gave us going forward. Good luck!
I have a crack in the wall corner coming straight and light is coming through. Foundation has been repaired. How do I fix the crack on the inside and outside?
So I've searched all through your video and I haven't seen a video of how to match different textures in an angle? I have sanded mud on the ceiling and non-sanded on the walls. I've replaced the drywall on the wall but not the ceiling so how would you suggest I proceed?
Is this a good method for same type of crack, but located where the ceiling meets the wall? Or do you recommend taping & mudding for that location? House was built in 1970.
Im not sure i understood the very first step with the knife. What exactly are you cutting away? Just loose paint, or are you creating some kind of deeper grove to put the caulk into?
Do you recommend caulking on sheet rock inner corners first as well? I had been doing hot mud in the inner corners then adding my paper tape over joint compound and so forth (steps you taught me)
Not needed if your taping then but can be helpful for large cracks. But it could take overnight to set up enough to do any good. So usually we just pre-fill with hot mud if there’s a gap.

I have a ceiling corner crack in the bathroom that expands in the winter but can almost not be seen in the summer...should caulk when it's at its largest or smallest?
Thanks for the info. I have been trying to look for one of your videos but I can't find any. Can use caulking for hairline cracks that are not on corners? Like like in the middle of the ceiling? Thanks
I've been drywall finisher for 5 years now. And do you by any chance know where I can find leads to work? Regarding jobs that I can get paid cash besides working for somebody

Never had good results using my caulking tool. Your detailed instructions on how to use it correctly is appreciated.
Glad it helped
Definitely a time saver for DIYers. It would take a crap load of time and practice to do it the right way, especially on textured walls. Good job!
I am SOOO glad you did this video!! We bought a 1971 time capsule to make our own and this has been one of the annoying things we are dealing with!!

Very good info. Thank you

Thank you Sir 👍
I think I can do this! I’m trying to fix some stuff by myself. Thank you 🙏🏼
A note book or pad of paper is the best thing in the world to wipe your fingers on during a caulk job. When paper gets full just tear it off. Fold it in half to keep from getting caulk on something. Then start with a new sheet. Paper towels are terrible and make a mess. They don't clean your fingers very well, leave lint, and they tear and stick to your fingers after a while.
@@tybays No, use a slip on plastic finger tip and wipe it on an old wet rag that has bit dipped in Dawn water
I use a roll of masking paper. A lag screw in the top of my 4 foot ladder holds it in place. I agree with you. Paper works better than paper towels.
I have question this material you applying after the few times this may be strong
I have some settling cracks in corners where the tape has released from the board and torn apart. How do I replace the tape now? Sand down the old mud?
@@andrewwittkamper2837 Pull the old tape off. Then tape and remud the corner

@@BlossomPainting Thanks Blossom Painting. Best of Future for you and your business.

You did a great job a such a terrible job lol. I bought a house and have a crack like this in the kitchen. Just one. I can’t imagine doing a whole house 😂. Subbed. Thank you sir
We just redid part of our house and it’s old well over a 100 years and a crack appeared and my husband was freaking out. Told him it hasn’t been a year and we still need to jack up the floor some and it’s bound to happen.😅😂
I want to jack the floor in two more spots and wait a few months then fix the crack. Let every thing settle.
For the caulking tool i would spray it with a slightly soapy water and it will help it to slide better for a very clean edge.
Hi! I’ve been watching your drywall videos and I completed a small room and is looking good. After sanding do I need to caulk all the corners (level 3) and the prime or should I prime and then caulk? Thank You 🙏🏼
You don't want soapy water on the surface you're caulking. It'll prevent the caulk from sticking to the surface. Soapy water after, as you clean up is cool.

I love your videos!❤Will this also work on drywall that want be textured? Thank you for all of your help!
Yes it will
hi. I'm new to this. Are those cracks on top of the drywall joint tape? Do you not use mud and tape and why? Thanks in advance
i like your videos
Thanks, Guy
My inside room corner has a 26 inch crack, starting from the baseboard, with a small indentation 12 inches up from floor. Can I fix it myself
Can this application be used on a corner in the kitchen prior to backsplash tile being installed in front of it
If the corners are not recessed, and they won’t show it’ll be fine. Or if the joint isn’t too wide.
After calking just paint over or add paint mud slide sand then paint?
If it’s a smaller bead of caulk just paint it

I have a ceiling corner crack in the bathroom that expands in the winter but can almost not be seen in the summer...should caulk when it's at its largest or smallest?
Try big stretch caulk when it’s small
Hi I Have those crack's in my ceiling frame. Will that help as well?
It might. Depends
@@ThatKiltedGuyDIY OK. Thank You.
Do all settling crack indicate a foundation issue? We have an old house with a few settling cracks
No. Many causes
Does this work for cracks between door trim and the wall?
Yes
Do you silicone or acrylic for caulking the wall corners?
NEVER use silicone anywhere you are going to paint
@@ThatKiltedGuyDIY thank you 😊
What if it reappears after a couple of days?
It shrunk. You may have put it on to thin. Bigger gaps often need 2 passes on different days
Thanks for the info. I have been trying to look for one of your videos but I can't find any.
Can use caulking for hairline cracks that are not on corners? Like like in the middle of the ceiling?
Thanks
I have plans to put out a video about that but it usually doesn’t work well.
He has one where he tapes them. Get rid of the old paper tape, tape over it using paper tape and all purpose joint compound, sand prime and paint.
Nice job! How did you cut that corner without cutting into that brown paper covering the sheet of drywall?
I cut through it. But it’s not a problem in this case
I've been drywall finisher for 5 years now. And do you by any chance know where I can find leads to work? Regarding jobs that I can get paid cash besides working for somebody
Run ads in Facebook groups, craigslist, and anywhere else you can

the green masking tape that to show you which wall cracked
Yes
Really would help if the camera zoomed in for some closeups. We all do this at extremely close distance, not from 6 feet away.
The controversial video that I read about in the comments of your other video! 😮
How'd they resolve the foundation issue
There isn't necessarily a problem with the foundation. All houses settle after they're built.
But won’t the crack come back over time?? Why not cut it out full in with mud, mesh tape and mud again?
With a caulking like big stretch, it’s less likely to come back than with hard crunchy joint tape and mud and FAR less work
That only works for so long .

Bahahahha ur the best !!
The finger is better than that tool for sure
