Doesn't the hot mud shrink a little on your seams though? Just subbed, great work! I was surprised to hear you recommend Super Paint. I recently had to use it and the flashing was terrible, even after priming and rolling it properly. I always use Duration or Emerald now, I forgot how much harder the Super Paint was to work with. I have had weird issues with it bubbling up too, even when patches are spot primed.✌️
@@skhateanddestroy1252 really!? That’s interesting. I’ve been really using it a lot the last couple years and haven’t had any issues. I’m actually editing a video right now about how to paint my patch work so I can send it to the homeowner after I’m done. And I’m using super paint with no primer first. Was it a textured wall or smooth? The bubbling is usually a drywall issue with dust in my experience. Yes with 20 min I will never do Just one coat. 20 min and 40 min shrinks a lot compared to 5. And thank you for the sub!
@thedrywalltech Interesting, I use a lot of 20 so that must be why mine always shrinks so much, thanks for the tip! I mostly paint so I am always happy to learn more about drywall stuff. This last job I did everything right, spot primed patches, wiped the walls down, no dust, all mud dried over night before priming etc.. It was one of those walls where the light shines in such a way you have to get it perfect. I had the bubbling issue a lot when I would try to use it without primer, then I started spot priming with latex primer, same thing. The only thing that really worked was using cover stain to spot prime. That's when I just said screw it and started using mostly Duration. It goes on so much better too, I will never go back to SP. They were out of it after the holiday here, asked for Emerald and they were supposedly out of that as well, so I went with SP. Still had a few little areas that bubbled, real small ones though. It ended up looking okay after I did a 3rd coat, I used gardz to spot prime this time too. The weird part was the bubbles were not even on areas I patched.🤔 I let everything dry over night between coats too. Sorry for the long winded reply.😄✌️
Looks nice! Are you still planning on getting the Laco sprayer? I'm sure you know there are 2 types the Tg600 and Tg950. I have the 950 and honesty from what I've seen in your previous videos it works just about the same as the Redtail, they even sell a separate tip exclusively for knockdown.....I'll be honest I can match any texture with it but most of times I do prefer to use the hopper.
Thank you! yes I want to buy the 600 and test it out just because its cheaper. Feel like it's better to give my opinion on that so guys can know what I truly think on if the price difference is valid. Why did you go with the 950 instead 0f the 600?
@@thedrywalltech I did lots of research and the 600 had too many bad reviews, I've never used the redtail but just from what I've seen in your videos it looks very similar as far as results (950).
Thank you I appreciate it! Yes so all my family that's in this trade don't use a hawk.And im talking generations. They all learned in California, maybe that has something to do with it 🤷🏻♂️
you have to load the texture on bit heavier cuz the mud underneath isnt dry, it will soak up the moisture and soften the texture....it will look heavy wet but when dry it will flatten out...these are the tricks you learn you have to know what the mud will do under different scenarios.....if the base coat is dry or even primed the texture will lay down differently cured even though they look the same wet.....experience and knowledge is what you pay for, the time it takes is irrelevant...... hell of a deal to a homeowner for $300, it maybe an hour at job but he had to drive there and back, get materials, pay taxes, fuel, etc etc
Yes! Just did a $1500 smooth wall job (patch and paint in one day) two big patches on a ceiling. I do a couple tight coats of 5 or 20 min until it's pretty flat then I pull it tight with light weight mud and put the fans on it to dry. The light weight dry super quick and once it drys give it that light sand and its smooth as glass
I always use the biggest nozzle and just adjust the pressure because I want that good background spray to still come out. Keep the pressure maxed out. Appreciate you watching!
Yes 5 min for the taping part and joint compound for the texturing. I suggest everyone start with 20 and work your way up to using 5. Are you in the trade?
How’re you finding most of your repair jobs? Are you using a lead service or mostly just word of mouth and phone calls? Most of the stuff I do is new construction and I’m looking to get into doing more repairs just hard to find enough honestly.
Im a real people person. That being said everyone I meet will know I do patch and paint by the time im done talking to them. My truck has it blasted across it and it's a Ram 2500 with 37's on it so it's hard to miss. I tell everyone...the more hands you shake the more money you make.
hard to say because everywhere is different but atleaest your minimum trip charge to come back after it dries. Assuming the have the paint of course. Otherwise your trip charge plus paint
Thank you man! A lot of my work is seriously form word of mouth and people seeing my truck. Like I told someone else in here , everyone I talk to will know what I do by the time we are done talking

Hi, 1st timer here, very nice job Was wondering, how much do you charge for a job like that, I also do similar jobs like that but wanted to know if am charging enough. Thank you ❤
I live in Chicago, been doing regular sizes remodeling job for over 20 yrs, but as you get older i tend to do minor handyman work like the one you demonstrated, $300 is around of what I would charged, maybe a little less depending on the customer, if they're picky, the price is higher, if they're nice I'll price it low enough that they'll called me back, that's how I was able to build my customer based. No more 1 or 2 week jobs, too old. Thanks for the input, I really appreciated 👍
300 hundred dollars but don’t forget looking and giving an estimate. Gathering up supplies. Billing client. Account work. Plus you still need to pay Joe Biden his 40 percent. Not all roses. Plus don’t forget the wasted time bidding jobs that you don’t get. Glass half empty guy said
