hey im fron the uk and i want to try this out what sort of compound do i buy because they dont sell that. thanks
Can I do this on a ceiling that has a weird texture on it now
Where are the other videos?? I can’t find them.....
I seem to get a lot of streaks when I take off the mud off the walls. What am I doing wrong?
How long i have to wait to apply second coat
This video is 4 years old, has been saved in my playlist for 2 years, and I'm going to be giving it a try tomorrow. Thank you!
How did it go?
Yes. How did it go?

I'm a 65 year old DIY lady!
Retirement has allowed me the time to do a bunch of home improvement projects.
This is a terrific DIY video.
I removed the dreaded popcorn from my walk-in closet. Except for the joints, there is bare drywall.
I practiced putting the skim coat on with a trowel, but now that I learned this handy trick, I'll be using your roller technique. It will save so much time. I am grateful. Thank you!!🔧🔨🪚🧰🗜🛠🔩
That’s great!💥👏🏻 Thank you so much for watching and commenting my friend.😎
this dude is doing this work in brand new white adidas!! BALLSY. the dude knows what he is doing forsure
Kassina Lynn thinking the same thing while watching 😂
thinking the same thing
Same thoughts 😂
GenX in the House 🏠remember Run DMC My Adidas
With you coming here to comment right you just gave him more $$$ now he can afford another 10pairs
Looks great,tip from one pro to another since we never stop learning,I use a 18in nap gets the job done twice as fast and holds a lot more so no need go over multiple times like you did here
Hey Paul, just wanted to let you know how much this and other videos helped me. I joint compounded over dry wall paper glue after many failed attempts at other routes. my family is blown away given I am extremely amateur at DIY home services so just wanted to thank you!
I have learned a few things on the RUclips channel, but this one takes the cake. I have never been too good at drywall and mudding but I had to try this method. I am preparing my mom's house to put up for sale and watching the money spending is of high concern. The job entailed the removal of a lot of liquid nail which is what was used to install cork panels on the plaster walls. Using an angle grinder to grind down the liquid nail still had a surface way to rough for painting. Following the instructions in the video, I began to see results almost immediately. I will be doing a very little sanding tomorrow, priming then paint. BOOM.. done. Thanks Paul.
@Kevin King amazing, takes the biscuit. I love it.
Your other videos proved very helpful! Cutting drywall larger and trimming it smaller while keeping the front paper for the seams is like magic! Made my repairs much easier!
Thank you! since watching this video series. I've done two whole bedrooms, and skimmed a big hallway and a bigger entrance way, and the home owner was super happy with the results on all jobs .
I'm planning on fixing up my grandmother's house for her by myself and with so much work needing to be done I'm glad for totourials like this one to better understand what needs to be done.
I am in the same boat. My grandmother's house needs a ton of work. I often get overwhelmed. I repaired some holes in the wall that stick out pretty bad so I'm hoping that this will help hide them.
Dear Paul, I thought I would try this technique to skim coat one of my Mom's bathroom walls today since she doesn't want the texture that is there. I was expecting to be monkeying with it all afternoon to try and figure it out. I was SHOCKED when I was done with the actual rolling and smoothing in half an hour! It took me longer ti clean up than to actually do the job!! Thanks a bunch👍👍
So happy 😊 I found this video. We bought this home and didn't notice to degree of nasty texture then. Now we see we have the worst textured walls throughout our whole home!! I can only afford to do it myself but now I feel I have an answer or an option to start fixing it. I thought we'd have to re-drywall to get rid of it. Thank you.
Thanks for the pro tips.
Me, a DIY'R , small scale repairs at our beach vacation rental homes, on joint cracks at ceiling, outside corners, surface damage repairs before repainting walls.
Really enjoy watching professional work, and utilizing your tips on a smaller scale than what you do on a daily basis.
Thanks for sharing!👍🏻😎
Nice video, I'm a dryliner / plasterer living in Germany where they have been doing this for years, they have so many technics for alsorts. 😊
This is an AMAZING video for trades/newbies/DIYers. Never seen a drywaller do the paint roller trick! Thank you!

Right on man!💥 I really appreciate the feedback! Thanks so much for watching and subscribing my friend!😎 -Paul
Just bought a 100-year-old house and I’m considering DIYing some drywall repairs. I am a total beginner with drywall, but your videos make me think I can handle it!
I have a TX 90 that i had rebuilt and i spray then wait 5 min and skim with a razor sharp 10 . Been doin this for 25 yrs and i like your method for small jobs .
Right on man!😎 I’ve sprayed it on with my RTX 1500 and it worked too. But yeah for small jobs it’s just easier to skim it out by hand. Thanks so much for watching and subscribing my friend!👍🏻 -Paul
Very cool. Very straight forward. Easy to follow. Thank you.
As a beginner it would help to figure out a water to mud ratio according to the type of compound used. At least very close.
This is exactly how I finish all of my closets and pantries. Saves hours instead of finishing.
Good to know man! Thank for watching and commenting! -Paul
@@danielschroer7766 chill out brother I am not a contractor or do not do it for a career. Every single house I have remodeled and flipped I have done this and it has never been an issue with a potential buyer.

Hi Paul This video is MOST HELPFUL to get rid of our textured small bathroom! A couple of quick questions please 1) Is a mold-control joint compound recommended for the bathroom? 2) Would it be necessary/useful to joint tape the corners while skimming? Many Thanks Again!
What a great trick I’m starting my garage and am going to try this technique out
not sure if this was all ready invented but if not... SOMEONE GIVE THIS MAN AN AWARD!!
Oh yeah it was been doing this since I first stated painting 35 years ago this is an old old way of skim coating he shouldn’t call it his way like he invented it But I’m sure he’d be the first to admit that seems like a nice guy
Great! After watching this video, I finally can spread butter on my bread evenly!
😂
Your videos are exceptionally helpful. Thanks for talking the time to create such useful videos. 🇺🇸👍
I just uploaded the follow up video ruclips.net/video/GPI7j3sb9Uw/видео.html where I did the second round of skim coating with my paint roller trick. Thank so much for watching! -Paul
Paul Peck I need help. Bought this house in November, and it needs love. I don't know what they were doing when they textured the walls, but they obviously got distracted, or like a bad tattoo didn't pay for it. My husband sanded down one room, he hasn't finished it, and I want it done right. Can you help?
Painter for 10 years never seen this technique once. Interesting I want to try it in aus
I skim coated by concrete basement walls with joint compound. Two thick coats and a lot of sanding. Cost comparison between skim coating and framing. 10 buckets of joint compound $160. If I framed my 2400 square feet basement; $9000. Painted my ceiling flat black. Cost $200. Savings over framing $6000. I have access to all my plumbing and electrical.
Thank you for this!!! I'm going to attempt to retexture my bathroom to save money.
You can do it!✅👍🏻😎
You just saved me about 2 hours! thanks for this tip!
I'm grateful for your tips and tricks! Thank you
Right on Richard!💥 Thanks so much for watching and subscribing!😎 -Paul
Thank You!!!
Before watching this video - I failed miserably! Mud everywhere - uneven application
After watching this video - almost perfection! There should be a word for the feeling of skim coating and it's all even!
The technique in this video work!!!
**I wonder if this would work for the sides of cabinets. Not the face but the side that is next to the wall to smooth out the wood grain.
That’s awesome man!👍🏻 I really appreciate the feedback!🔥 Does the side of the cabinet have a clear finish on it? Thanks so much for watching and subscribing!😎 -Paul
There are thick primers for the cabinets you can use to smooth things out
THAAAANK YOU !!!! I REALLY NEEDED TO SEE THIS VIDEO- YOU'RE AWESOME !!!!!

Hey 🖐 Paul!
We can always count on you for great helpful tips, but I could *never* skim coat a ceiling for 2 very good reasons...😄
Im afraid of any kind of Heights. ...and 2nd,
The awkard position would make me very Dizzy! 😄...there's possibly a 3rd reason..being that all the paint would end up on my head and none on the ceiling!😫
So, i would call the pros for this one, but
Tfs! Have a great day! 🤙
Hi Queen, Thank you so much!🙏 Yep, You gotta know when to hold them and know when to fold them… thanks for stopping by! Take care, -Paul
Another thanks. Will be doing this very soon
Good luck! Let me know if you run into any questions along the way.👍🏻
looking forward to part II for beginners....I am definitely that!....lol
are we still up for part 2?
Kick ass, worked like a charm. Great video thanks for the help.
I should be fixing my car but im glad i know how to skimcoat now.
Perfect timing paul. Tomorrow i skim coat two bathrooms to cover a badly done attempt at skip troweling by a former homeowner. Thanks!
That’s great cruisin thru!👍🏻 Let me know how it goes and if you run into any questions along the way. Happy skim coating! Take care, -Paul
This is satisfying.
Awesome Martha! Thanks so much for watching and commenting!😎 -Paul
Great job.. only thing i might recommend is use a tripod.. almost got a little dizzy watching this . .... but great job with describing as you went along...
I appreciate that Luis!👊🏻 Yeah, it’s little difficult to get good video in the heat of battle. Haha... Thanks so much for watching and subscribing!😎 -Paul
Great video, thanks so much! I look forward to trying this.
Looks like that would make it at least a little easier for ceilings nice job and thank you
Most definitely. Glad you found my video helpful Robert!👍🏻 Thanks so much for watching and commenting! 😎 -Paul
What an easy to follow Tutorial, Awesome Job! Thanks for Sharing !
Cool! Wearing brand new Adidas while mudding!! Gotta try that!
It helps us beginners if you put a glob of mixed compound on your trowel and show how it holds when you have the trowel sideways, thanx.
Very informative!! Thank you from Texas!!
Right on Jennifer!💥 Thanks so much for watching and subscribing!😎 -Paul
I'll be honest. I live in an apartment, but you make this so interesting Paul I have to watch!
Hi Andrew, That’s awesome man!🙏 Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment! Take care, -Paul
Great video this was very helpful when I was redoing my house.
I love your videos.
This is perfect 👍👍👍👍👍 good job 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Paul, I was so glad to discover this video because I just started to work on my neighbors' living room walls and noticed that the first layer of drywall paper on one wall tarted to lift where there was a joint seam. I will remove as much of the first layer as possible and then use the Gardz product by Zinsser before skim coating.
Wonderful job
Genius!!!!
Subscribed per The Handyman Business channel lol.
That’s awesome man!💥👊🏻 Love That channel! Thanks so much for watching and subscribing my friend! 😎 -Paul
Nice intro beautiful paint
Here's a free one
Buy machine mud for your skim coats if you're finishing board with Long horizontal runs.
Applying machine mud by hand and pulling it tight by hand is so easy
I wish I found your videos 6 months ago. I recently bought a home and all the walls have a hideous paint job. Way to much orange peel. I am using the term orange peel because I've sanded and painted cars. My answer to the walls was to sand the latex paint, prime and repaint the walls. So I bought one of those long sanders designed for drywall with a 9" sanding disc to start sanding the walls smooth. I just started sanding one wall and had to move to 80 grit to try and smooth the paint. It looks like I'm getting close to the drywall paper. What is your advise on what to do with latex painted walls with a nasty orange peel finish? Do you have any videos with sanding techniques? Thank you!
When is the second part coming out,I am ready to do this process,I would like to watch the second step before I proceed.

Nice work very clever
I cant believe i became good at skimcoating in just a week
Great video! This answered pretty much all of my questions from your See Jane Drill crossover video.
I’m so glad Spacewolf Jr!👏🏻 Thanks so much for stopping by my friend! Take care, -Paul
Paul, can you mix paint and joint compound to re-texture walls. So it's done at once? If so could you make a tutorial for this please!?
I was thinking about doing this with a primer like kilz to do a pretty lightly textured wall quick
I really enjoyed your series of videos for beginners. I am not sure if there is a video of yours that shows how to skim coat a wall that was repaired poorly and not sanded correctly, if at all. If you already have a video that addresses these issues, would please would you pass along the link, thank you. Rick
Great job!
Very good 👍
I wish I looked this up before trying to skim coat my small bathroom a couple months ago.
Now you know. Thank you for watching and commenting my friend!👍🏻😎
Thank you Paul
this is really great, Ive been having to do home repair lately I will have to make this my go to channel :)
Right on Val!👍🏻 That would be awesome!🔥 Thanks so much for watching and subscribing!😎 -Paul
This is really cool, I’m starting to learn construction this year as a freshman and this seemed cool even though I’m not sure if I’ll learn it
Great Videos. Super helpful. Question: we have a drywall crack across 2 rooms in our house. The ceiling has a knocked down texture. We tried to patch it tape and joint compound and then tried to match the knocked down texture, but it didnt go well. The ceiling appears not level and the patch does not match.
-Should we cut the gyp out and try to level it and rematch the adjacent surface?
-Or rip out the tape?
-Or completely skim coat the entire ceiling and make it smooth?
Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Hi Lico, hmmm... that’s a tough one since I can’t see the repair. Maybe try and remove tape, retape and retexture. But skim coating and adding all new texture will be the best looking solution at this point. I hope this helps. Thanks so much for watching and subscribing!👍🏻 -Paul
I'm no pro but I'm an investor in Texas so I'm familiar with drywall cracks.
What you're describing sounds like it's probably a foundation issue, so the housing material is being warped. That's exactly what I'm used to.
What I'll do (if fixing the foundation isn't critical) is cut a clean rectangle around the Crack, being sure to go about two inches past the Crack.
Then I'll place a small piece of 4x1 inside the hole I made, spanning the Crack. If it's a large Crack, I'll put one every two feet. If that's hard to imagine, then think of the 4x1s as rungs on a ladder. Except you'll have the widest side facing you.
I then secure the 4x1 pieces I added to the existing drywall using drywall screws. Now I have a wide platform to attach new drywall to. I'll cut my new drywall patch roughly to size, place that into the cutout I made, and then secure THAT to the "ladder" of 4x1s using drywall screws.
If the fit is tight, I don't use tape. But if I'm using a scrap or for some reason I have gaps I can stick two quarters between, I'll caulk it and rub it smooth with a damp finger. And if for some reason I have a larger gap, then I'll use tape.
I really try to avoid taping over a patch because it's nearly impossible to hide the "hump." Most people will either never notice or not care, but I do...
Once I've dealt with the gap issue, I mud over the surface, extending out about 5-24" from the edge of the hole I cut, depending on the method of patch.
Patch with or without caulk usually only needs 5-7 inches at MOST, usually less if you're re texturing. A patch with tape will need 18-24 inches from every edge to blend.
Assess the lighting in the room to determine how much blend you need. If the Crack is on a vertical wall, floor lamps and single ceiling lights will make it shadow. But recessed led ceiling lights may cast enough light that it's invisible.
A ceiling patch is the hardest to hide, and I find that almost every time I use tape, it's visible.
Okay adidas😂 !

Nice thanks I just acquired a new skill
I really appreciate your feedback Daniel!🔥👍🏻 Thanks so much for watching and subscribing my friend!😎 -Paul
Your welcome. It worked really well on dining room walls.
Great to hear Daniel!💥💪🏻😎 -Paul
You mention using a 3/4" lambskin roller cover. Three questions: 1) Some others who use this method suggest using a 1 1/2" roller. Would anything between 3/4" to 1 1/2" be acceptable or is 3/4" the best way to go? 2) I'm not seeing "lambskin "roller covers offered. I assume lambswool would be just as acceptable?. 3) Do you recommend any specific brands to go with for the roller? Thanks for the informative videos and your feedback.
Hello. Do you have to sand the walls after skim coating????
Thanks Bub.
Great video thank you. I just bought a house and every single wall needs it. My question is do you need to prep the walls from previous paint etc... before applying the compound.
Thank you.
Pascal
Hi Pascal, If it’s just painted drywall, you can skim coat right over it with the all purpose joint compound without any prep. I hope this helps. Thanks so much for watching and subscribing! -Paul
Have you any advice on using an extra wide two handed skim coat blade? Would they be easier for a beginner or not?
Ok, who did the down-vote .... Booooooo!
I bought a house built in 1935 last year and the walls show all that age. I did not know how I was going to tackle them until I came across your videos. Thank you for sharing and I expect I will be a master skimmer by the time I am done.
Paul, what would you suggest I do for fine cracks? Should they all be taped? For a house as old as it is, I was pleasantly surprised that cracking is at a minimum throughout.
jaymanwitt
Tape your cracks, they'll never come back.
It works i did it
+KEepFlOwING ! That’s awesome! I really appreciate that feedback man!👍🏻 Glad my videos could help you out. Thanks so much for watching and subscribing!😎 -Paul
Nice work am caming Tanzania
Right on Emmanuel!👍🏻 Thanks so much for watching and subscribing!😎 -Paul
I've had a problem with a couple skim jobs I've done where I get lines in my mud while skimming. It's not lines from putting too much pressure on one side of the knife it's like a line where it completely pulls the compound off the wall in random spots but in a line.
good job brother. thank you for the share.
Nice video, Why dont you try +3 light weight that's all I use when roller coating/skimming and a synthetic roller sleeve 3/4 -1 inch just holds more mud. Sometimes I will put some dish soap in the mud helps keep the bubbles down especially if I am going over duro bond ..keep posting love this stuff
Yes it does makes the mud pull tight and smooth less bubbles after mixing
Right on TainT!👍🏻 I appreciate you sharing your experiences using different products and techniques.😎 I need to try the +3 for sure. Thanks so much for watching and subscribing my friend! -Paul
Hiii very nice i wish u will get 1M in 1 month
Can you put on the description down the different materials you used. Thanks!
Thank you Paul Peck drywall for such a explanatory and detailed video it was very informative I really am a big fan of the drill I'm using the drill paint mixer method I think that is a really fast way to get the job done the cruiser krisworld network is fully connected with you and we will be watching
The soupy consistency of the mud and the thickness of the existing texture. Your going to have to do that like three times to get it smooth. We use it on like level 5 finishes with no texture underneath and it still shrinks.
Worked perfectly for me!👍🏻 I agree, a joint compound needs to be a little thicker when going over texture as opposed to a smooth surface. I appreciate your feedback man! -Paul
Nice you dont have a ceiling so the follow through is so much easier lol .
I have to do this wall from hell the textering looks like waves really ruff .
Going to have to knock down all the high spots first then go from there.
Did one condo like this already took multiple coats 😭
Dude! I’m a 100% beginning and just redoing my small kitchen and hallway. Never did drywall before. So far after the first coat it’s working great! I don’t have patience so waiting for another coat is going to be tough! Does it have to be perfect if a buddy is doing a knock down texture on it? Thanks for making this vid!
This is great tutorial video, thank you for sharing this. New friend from RUNNY EGG
That's a pretty slick trick!
Looks far easier than the standard method. Looking forward to trying this!
Right on Marcus!💥 It really is a great trick!🔥 saves time and also gives a very consistent application. Thanks so much for watching and subscribing man!😎 -Paul
Can you do the paint roller trick on skimming a smooth ceiling with flaws?
I need this. Thank you so much. Took paper off and it caused so much damage that I have to skim the walls. :(
If I need to skim coat the ceiling and walls to get rid of orange peel texture... which do you recommend I start with first? Ceiling? And do I use the same technique?
Ashley Bristol do the ceiling first. You can do the walls first but it’s annoying when material gets on your finished walls.
