    Hey Bill.
    Love your videos. I’m settling on my first home today. Last night during the settlement inspection I noticed the cracks in the ceiling. And today I thought I bet Bill has a video of that ensure enough you do. My new house also has sagging cornices I was wondering if there’s a way to fix them or if they just have to be replaced?

    Awesome tips mate. Love your clear concise instructions. If I may add, please wear gloves when handling the fibafuse. Not sure if everyone reacts to it, but I did when coming in contact with my bare hands. Otherwise, great instructional video :)

    This has happened above our dishwasher. I assume from the steam. You can see the join of the two peices of gyprock underneath. Would i need to do something to secure that before using the mesh tape?

  • @DreamBelief

    What causes these cracks/the join to fail? I have a few in our house (not built or done by us so I don't know if it was well built or not). Should I be concerned?

    • @TheRealMrCods
      @TheRealMrCods 2 года назад +2

      I would say always paint the whole area as the paint never matches because of age.

    What if you have those old fashioned star’ish patterns in the ceiling that were popular in the 80’s?

  • @jerseyjim9092
    @jerseyjim9092 Год назад

    I have a 20 ft long crack to repair and I'm not confident that I can hand mud the entire joint in one shot and get the tape up before it dries too much to bond well. So I plan on doing it in 2 or 3 sections. Would you recommend overlapping the cut ends of fibafuse or just butting them together?

  • @pauls3451
    @pauls3451 2 года назад +1

    Hi Bill thanks for the videos, they have been a great help. Just wondering if you have ever had to fix a sagging gyprock ceiling. The glue holding in my 80's built house has given out in the lounge causing the ceiling to belly and expose the joins. I have heard of people propping it up and screwing it at short intervals to refasten it to the roof trusses, then re-taping and plastering the joins. The other alternative is a demo and new ceiling, something I want to avoid due to having old fibreglass insulation. Ever come across this?

    • @billshowto
      @billshowto  2 года назад +1

      This is very common and depending on how bowed and how long it’s been bowed it can be repaired by propping up the ceiling. I will post a video on this next time I come across one

    Do you use quickset for embedding the tape then finishing compound for second and last coats?

    • @billshowto
      @billshowto  2 года назад

      Depends on the job, but generally you can use an all purpose for all three coats 👍

    Do you need to prime over the compound before painting?

    • @billshowto
      @billshowto  2 года назад

      Depending on who you speak to. Paint manufacturers will state to prime then paint while many people who paint will say you don’t need to if applying more than two coats. I tend to asses each job individually on whether or not I use a primer. To be safe use a primer. These days you can purchase an all in one paint and prime product which I use a lot 👍

  • @ofrimashiah2

    You painted only the repaired area? Or over the entire ceiling? Because in the video the repair is invisible

    • @billshowto
      @billshowto  2 года назад +1

      Honestly, I could not see the failed previous tape until I painted the ceiling. At this point the tape bubbled as it absorbed the moisture from the paint. So I had to remove the old tape and paint just that section as I had just painted the whole ceiling a few hours prior. In short, paint the whole ceiling unless the paint is fairly new 👍

  • @EatAndBeMerryForTomorrowWeDiet
    @EatAndBeMerryForTomorrowWeDiet 2 года назад

    Can I ask a silly question - why would this problem happen in the first place? I'm just trying to figure out if this has happened in our ceiling.

    • @billshowto
      @billshowto  2 года назад

      Usually poor installation to begin with. As you can see in this example the previous tape was not in bedded properly which leads to poor adhesion. The fiba fuse tape I used prevents this from happening 👍
