    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!!🔧🔨🪚🧰🗜🛠🔩

    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.

    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👍👍

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.

    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.

    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

I will remove as much of the first layer as possible and then use the Gardz product by Zinsser before skim coating.

    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!

    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 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 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.

    • @PaulPeck

      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.

    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.

    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.

    • @PaulPeck
      @PaulPeck  6 лет назад +1

      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

    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.

    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.

    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

    • @taintmeat6789
      @taintmeat6789 5 лет назад +1

    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.

    • @PaulPeck
      @PaulPeck  5 лет назад

      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

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!

    • @jonathangiraldo2148
      @jonathangiraldo2148 5 лет назад +1

      Ashley Bristol do the ceiling first. You can do the walls first but it’s annoying when material gets on your finished walls.
