Anybody who has tried to do this kind of work DYI, greatly appreciates these videos!!
Thanks so much for commenting. I appreciate it and, thanks for subscribing. I look forward to helping you on your future projects. Guy
Glad to see you using this tool and sharing it. I am the Mechanical Designer behind this project. I no longer work for this company though.
This project was a complete PIA because each member of management wanted to throw in their 2 cents and none of them could agree. I had to constantly change the model back and forth while management theorized how they wanted their clone to look.
In addition, the American Plastic Extruder that was hired, failed miserably and couldn’t get the part to stay within tolerances even though their “confidence” was there. The Chinese Extruder finally got it right after multiple attempts (about half a dozen). The End Caps were the Worst. I had to 3D print 20 different designs before we got it right. And then the Chinese plastic injection company made several errors in the process. On top of all of the plastic issues, Managment decided to change what type of stainless steel was used.
I highly recommend that you hone the leading edge of the blades. This was the most important part of the process and production kept using inexperienced help to accomplish this process. This nearly always left a sub-par edge with a Burr.
To be honest, the Dewalt unit is my favorite. They went above and beyond on their design. Far more than I could get authorized on this model.
I would like to see a comparison with my favorite version , the Dewalt.
Well I have the level five and this one, and the level five does feel a little bit better in my hand, but this one produced basically the same results. And I’ve heard that level five and Dewalt are both the same thing, rebranded. Do you know anything about that?
I may possibly compare it one day but I really don’t have a need for these tools except to demonstrate them, so I don’t want to buy too many that I just don’t need.
@@ThatKiltedGuyDIY the Dewalt has an aluminum extrusion and replaceable end caps as does the level 5. Home Depot has them on their website. If my memory serves me, the Dewalt blade also had a coating on them. I do not believe that I had a Level 5 For comparison.
I preferred the aluminum extrusion over the plastic. But that is a personal preference. Each one will have pros and cons but will do the same job.
It si nice to see that you promote the smoothing blade we develloped 15 years ago.
Thank you for the video
Excellent demo.
I'm a 35 year veteran of drywall and plaster work! I've been using the new 40" blade love it! nothing but respect for a fellow Master! 100%🙇♂️🙏 New subscriber
Thanks so much!
nice words. I do a lot of drywall repairs at the school. many butt joints to do.I would like to get a 40 inch.
What the f is 40"???
I use my 7” and 12” for everything.
All of my knives and trowels have been relegated to masonry work
I felt like an amateur when I ordered a 32" skimming blade recently. I'd never seen one used in the field but I knew it could help me fake some decent mudding skills. Brand is Keezer, only paid $50, and I absolutely love it. Makes patches a breeze.
That’s awesome! Thank you for sharing.

I'm so glad to see you from the last video you were explaining you were sick. You look healthy and it's a joy to what your video. I have learned so much. God bless you 🙏
Wow, I am learning so much from your videos. I am in the process of finishing my large 3 car attached garage and have always struggled with butt joints and inside corners. Your videos are very helpful with all the little tricks and details (like bending the knife on the outer edge of a butt joint to blend in). Thanks again and keep up the great work!
I’ll try that large knife next time I go ahead and do some drywall which will probably be this summer in my garage thank you very much
Bravo Sir!! Bravo!! I have never. Ever. Seen this explained or illustrated the way you just did. Amazing job on the visual. I know what im doing and what i am looking at. But just like you said. others dont. And you just cant put it any easier than you just did!! Kuddos Sir!! Kuddos!! Bravisimo!!
Thanks, I appreciate that 😎, & Thanks for subscribing!
I'm new to this and have watched a lot of videos recently. The dark grey background really helps me get an idea of the of the tapered finish I should be looking for by creating a visible contrast compared to a plain white drywall. It's hard to see this in videos compared to real life. Thanks for using these colors!!
Hey I’m trying hard to create easy to see examples and I’m glad it helped you. Thanks for subscribing
Valuable information for the homeowner
Thank you so much for explaining the use of this blade, it makes butt joint so much easier me. I really enjoy your videos
Thank you for being a good teacher! I followed your instruction video on mudding and taping inside corners / angle. First time that it has worked out well for me. I have to admit though that I have been an auto body / collision technician for 50 years. We spread mud as we call it too. But drywall mud is a very different beast. Thanks again
I’ve painted about 10 cars in my life and yeah they’re a little different but the premises is basically the same although Bondo is a lot harder to sand. I’ll be putting a video out shortly showing my model T project car which is a street rod with a 440 Dodge motor and I’ll show the pictures of when I painted it.
I thought I new pretty much about coating! But how does the old saying go? You are never to old to learn something new!!! Thanks for the video! IT'S AWESOME!!!!!!!!
I got some great tips from this, thank you.
Very well explained. Thank you for the mudding tips. Gotta share trade secrets, it's how the building industry get's ahead.
Thankyou for all your drywall tips! Ive seen alot of professionals use this method. Maybe this is the way to get better but joints👍
This video is gold....thanks maestro
Awesome info sir thank you 😊
Thanks for the tips and all the knowledge
I’ve way watched many of your videos and love them all
Thanks, I appreciate that 😎, & Thanks for subscribing!
I'm a big fan of using trowels for drywall finish. A curved trowel over the tape, once dry hit each side with a straight trowel, done.
Great expertise, and nice chill attitude. I like your style.
Thanks. And thanks for subscribing.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
This is similar to my 48" extruded trowel. I don't use it often but when I do, it's a real time saver. I use it when filling wide dips. The extruded trowel is too stiff for tape joints, though. Your tool is a lot better for taping.
Great video! Looks like a great tool to invest in
Thank you very much again , and have a wonderful weekend.
Thank you! You too!
EXCELLENT Demonstration
I love my 40" blades! One thing though, using a knife to check the flatness can be misleading because after using a knife for a while it gets worn and isn't flat anymore. I like to use an actual straight edge. This is the best explanation I've seen of why you float out butt joints so wide.
Thanks. Honestly, I would toss out any finishing knife that isn’t dead straight. I’ve got some that are 30 years old and they’re still straight.
Great video, thanks buddy!
Nice, I am an avid DIY'r and have hung LOTS of GWB & this tool could have saved me HOURS of tedious work. Gonna get one now. Thanks
Thanks, glad I could help you out 😎. And thanks for subscribing!
Thanks for the video , 👍🏻
So well explained!!! Thank you!!!
Glad I could help and hope to have you as a subscriber.
great video. I consider myself more than a novice, but somewhat of a perfectionist, so butt joints have been a source of frustration for me. I just ordered that marshalltown blade with your link and I'm quite excited about using it on my current project. I just hung the drywall in my basement "spa" bathroom project, and there are only a few butt joints. I believe this tool will completely change my relationship with those joints! Thanks for sharing your experience and wisdom!!!
Hey, I sure hope it helps. I would love to know your experiences with it. Maybe I can help others with any issues you have. Just remember to keep even pressure on the blade, press firmly, but keep it leaned over and with practice, I think you'll love it. If you happen to want to send me a video of you coating one after a little practice, I would love to feature it on a future video. Thanks Jeremy!
Thank you so much Sr!!
god you made that look easy. Great instruction, a lot I found out by guess and test over the years. But other things, the 30 degreee angle explains why I make mistakes. Same with the wrong thickness. Thanks for explaining this. Awesome.
Ive been doing drywall about as long as you have. When I was being taught the art of buttjoints I was told that "you're not trying to cover the tape....you're trying to hide it". That made it more easy for me to visualize the process.
Thank you for your support and comments.
FANTASTIC VIDEO thank uuuu
Thanks for the video. I have some skim coating to do and that'll make it a lot easier for me. Lol
I thought of doing this years ago as a carpenter and finisher. But I never got around to doing it next job I will do it thanks
Nice work
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Awesome video
I been working Sheetrock for about 25 years and I try to show everyone the right way and you are a good example no bull shit but everyone shows different might work but I always say work for me do it my way or go work somewhere else and you are good I think you should work at a college and show what you know
I did drywall work for about 8 years in Florida from commercial to residential and patch and repair and I could've used one of those blades for several jobs.
Great video ✌
Hi! Im from Hungary. I use this two handed type blade about a week ago. And it is a miracle. I have an extension for it to, so i dont need to use ladder. Great Tool.
Awesome that I'm reaching you in Hungary
Great tips and videos! Would be nice if you can do a video on explaining all the features and benefits of the gooseneck flexible paint brush extension by Richard/Hyde. Thank you in advance! Cheers!
Great example of how to do a video. Thank you.
Thanks, I appreciate that 😎, & Thanks for subscribing!
25 years in. This video is great. My house looks like crap because I didn't drywall it. Everywhere I look, i want to cry. On top of a crappy job, they did knockdown on EVERYTHING and did a terrible job of that. I. Thinking I'll get a big blad and go over it all, one rook at a time. Maybe I'll stop crying every time I go home. It's seriously that bad
Im a carpenter and been setting my own renovations for years. I use a hawk and can get butts looking pretty flat and we inly do level 5, no textures. We do 3 coats including tape in. Most plasterers now use automatic mitre boxes and i dont think and of them could do it by hand anymore
I started out running tools for 15 years or so but I’ve done nothing but hand finishing for the last 20 mainly because I specialize in smaller jobs and repairs. But I would still grab a full set of tools in a heartbeat on a new job and combine it with hand finishing. They’re a Huge timesaver. Thanks so much commenting. I appreciate it
Greetings from Poland, I have been using this type of knife for several years, they work perfect 👍👍
Hello from Colorado, USA and thank you for subscribing.

A kilted guy with a butt joint? Ow that must hurt.
Nice work sir 🇦🇺
Thank you for your Military service, Sir🇺🇸 God Bless❤️
I use a 24" knife on right/left of butt joint and you can wipe it in a pan sideways...I initially got this for the soffit in my home so it would would fill totally from bead to bead and leave no shadow from light. Nice 40" blade..I am not a finisher by trade, but just recently did a level 5 job on base and that 24 was a life saver with all the ceiling patches we had going on. Good video! I'm 35 year commercial carpenter...about 2 years of finishing skills or enough to get me thru smaller projects without losing too much money for lack of proficiency. Yes, the plus 3 is some awesome stuff when it comes to sanding or easy sand quick dry in whatever you prefer.
Thanks and Thanks for joining our channel as a subscriber.
Thanks your a good teacher
Thanks, I appreciate that 😎, & Thanks for subscribing!
Yes sir good video
the mud tips were spot on ,The box stores sell the heck out of that green mud, I always feel bad for homeowners when I see them packing that out of the store.
Yeah, me too.
It's not a huge difference, but yes the blue +3 is nicer to work with. They all need water added and properly mixed... now try sanding hot mud vs green bucket... you'll pray for more of the green bucket.
Ap mud is way better for tapping and texturing
saw an old guy mop the ceiling with sheepskin roller then use piece piano steel to finish in a heritage house this was plaster carefully slaked was50 years ago i know was there mixing, doing the sponging hoarding the brown coat fast like no radio. Drywall this is fun stuff one can pick it up at the Legion if you care to some good lads there
Some drywall hangers I once used put drywall shims on the studs on either side of the but joint. When the finishers got done the seams were invisible.
We used to do that a lot, but not everyone does.
I found a way to get rid of those air bubbles. Hang, tape, and texture for almost 28 yrs now, new, remodel, patchwork. When you pull the mud 1 direction, you create the air pockets. Most of the time if pull perpendicular after that first layer, the bubbles will disappear, then go back to your normal finishing work. Just happened to find this when skim coating a popcorn ceiling removal years ago and have used it ever since. Give it a try if you haven't already. Hope it helps someone. I will definitely be adding the wide darbi style trowel to my tool collection
I have found that the best way to reduce the air bubbles is to hold your knife as flat as possible as you pull. What I mean is if only the last inch or so of your knife is pulled across the mud, you will get bubbles. If 3 to 5 inches of the knife is touching the mud you will get far less , if any bubbles. Hope this helps.
That was a great set up with the string. Helped me to understand. Towards the end of the video, after using the large blade and the mud had dried, there were some bubbles in the dry mud. Why does that happen and what to do if you see them once the mud has dried?
They just happen, and we just fix them when dry
This is a great video. Thank you!!!
Glad it was helpful! Did you subscribe, I can't tell.

What brand mud are you using sir for skim coating on this video? Thanks!
Not many will buy and use a tool like this unless it's their living
But you can use any piece of straight metal tho get patch close and finish by hand with reg tools
Yes work
You're welcome for the advice 1 year ago
....😉😎👍
Thank you for this video. I went out and got 3 skimming blades. Wish me luck!
You can do it!
May sound ridiculous but I used to use a 14 then down to 12 (unless were talking really horrendous) but now am in love with my kraft 10” knife that’s one piece and rounded like a regular 6” knife (sorry wish I knew the technical name) but it’s just too smooth and has ultimate control/flexibility. If anyone knows of a 12” that’s like that let me know. Thanks for the video, whilst interesting I just couldn’t see myself using that though I’ll stick it in The memory bank just in case
As usual an excellent video. Question if time is of the essence on patch/repairs what are your thoughts on using hot muds (I prefer Hamilton to USG for sand-ability - work-ability)

Hey my friend good to see you buddy that's a great looking float blade I like that. Thank you thank you so much. And great to see you as always from Doug
Thanks Doug. This was my first real video from my new studio since I finally got it set up the other day. Feels really good to be able to create new content again. Take care. Guy
I'm glad to hear that guy and I'm looking forward to many more thank you my friend thank you
Hey, did you see that yesterday morning my doctor told me to go to the ER because of three days of stomach pain. But I finished editing this video and got it ready for launch before I left. I found out I have minor diverticulitis, which I’ve had before but it was much worse the last time. But at least I got the video launched, LOL
No I didn't see that my friend. But I'm glad it worked out stomach pain can be a real you know what. Take care of yourself my friend please. And yes I'm glad you got the video out beforehand. Rest up and make sure you're good and thank you buddy thank you so much
Thats a cool tool
What set time on the plus 3? Is light mud bad for outside corners which take more abuse than walls? Crack easier when nailing trim board? Thanks. P.S. bought some fiberglass tape and feeling that mistake after just 3 joints
Do you have videos or advice on air bubbles? Love your videos, finally only need to follow one channel. Thank you for your advice
I’ll try to do a video on that one day. Thanks
Wish I saw this forty years ago!
I bet this would really shine on large projects where 1 person coats the joint and the second uses the wide blade to feather it. I assume a 4" or 6" blade would be used by the second person to keep the blade clean and spot clean ups.
Good idea
Cool video
Thank you
When using the skim coating blade for skim coating a wall, do you still push a bit more on one side towards where you're going, as with knives?
Will it leave similar lift off lines? Whole blade touching the mud?
Maybe a tiny amount
Love your dancing skills on the stilts
Thank you. Guy
I seem to suffer from the "I notice crappy drywall finishes" syndrome. Maybe others do too? Thanks for helping the world find the cure=high quality workmanship!
Thanks, I appreciate that 😎, & Thanks for subscribing!
When do you use a rubber skimmer? Do you have a video for that please.
Here you go- ruclips.net/video/N2RSDsYbA7Y/видео.html
Have you done videos on Buttboard from Trim Tex? Seems like that is the way to go.
Not yet
Have you seen that board they use in-between the stud that suck the drywall in so butt just have a fill low spot no more high spot! So I have been planning down 2 by sixes were the butt r so I have a low spot
I plan on doing some videos one day about artificially creating recessed joints from butt joints.
We in the exterior plaster business call this scridding
In Texas we use a 8 in box then a 10 or a 10 and 12 😉
Killin me with story time , techniques please.
What about mixing "No Pock" into the mud to get rid of bubbles? I've used it and found it makes a big difference, for me anyway.
Alot of guys use dish soap and water for that, and say it works great :)
Thats a big! Big! Knife to keep from getting bent. I dont use anything over 10” knife. Unless i have columns that are spaced 12” between bead. Then i use a 12” knife but probly once every 10yrs. 4,6,8!&10” knives are all i use. 30+yrs
I first spread Drywall mud in 1969 at the age of eight, spotting nails off a pair of stilts. I was the same way until a few years ago but once I tried these, I would never go back. You can’t know till you try it though. And when doing wide corner bead like that, this will put it on far flatter than a knife. I didn’t think it would work on butt joints until I tried it like you see in this video and it is amazing.
If you were going to buy one skim coat blade what length blade would you buy? 80cm or 100cm thanks for your expertise
Paul
24-32"
How do you compare the marshalltown skim blade to the level 5 skim blade?
Level 5 is quite a bit better
Love it.
Only problem is I still hate drywall. Lol.
I've gotten good with a 24" blade, but this makes it look a helluva lot easier
It's definitely a blade I've never seen on jobsites. This blade could cover all sorts of drywall mistakes especially in home renovations and patchwork.
Amen to that can do it but don't like to
@@jasonfisk4406 oh you need to do this on a daily basis to be good.
"This is the way!"
Very cool
I wish you would have shown how you do the final coat since you need to fan it out further. Do you use a larger blade?
Each butt joint is different, but I might do a video like that one day. You coat it wider if the hump is more proud, and each time you go a little wider. So on this one I would have gone about 3" wider on each side and used the same blade.
@@ThatKiltedGuyDIY
Ok so you’re not making two overlapped passes with the gigantic blade, but instead applying the mud with your taping knife wider than 2nd coat and then doing a pass with the gigantic blade?
@@10pct2_the_big_guy yes
