I have been following the Kilted Guy for quite a while. He does an amazing job of teaching and giving advice. He has influenced my huge DIY drywall job tremendously. Saved me so much time and effort. And he is very humble about his wealth of knowledge. Thank you Kilted Guy!
That's a good tip: "Don't sand the outer edges of patches." I keep trying that, but as you say, it messes things up easily. Will try a skim coat next time.
Dude, youre awesome. I love your chill demeanor. And I really appreciate how you include pics and videos of others "what not to do" because it really punctuates your point. Plus, im usually doing the stuff in the "wrong way" videos lol, its nice to see in a non judgy kind of way what im doing wrong. Keep em coming!
I don't know if I'm a pro, but I usually just take a stff knife and knock the burbles off between coats. Of course there's always a tradeoff. Waste time trying to make every coat perfect or waste time sanding what could have been wiped off. I'm aiming for the sweet spot in between.
Hi everyone, I just bought my first home. I am doing everything myself. I’m removing a popcorn ceiling. After I wet, scrape , and lay mud with a skim coat, what grit should I sand my ceiling with before I paint the ceiling? Thanks everyone. I’ve
I was watching one of you videos and noticed you were using the Porter Cable sander and vacuum. What wanted to know was the setup on your vacuum because you had other items attached on the dust collection side.
I screwed up a small Job in a couple of places. Tried to sand it down. Will just have to correct it with the next coat. May take 3 coats to get it nice. We’ll see lol
So I'm installing a backsplash in the kitchen using Mapei Type1. It requires PrimerT to be painted on first. Unfortunately the manufacturer requires ALL old paint removal to the paper on the drywall, apply PrimerT, then the Mastik. What's the best way to do that without it taking forever and without sanding too much to past the paper?
Hi Guy, I hope that you are doing well these days. Thanks for this video..... you would (would not?) be surprised by the number of home owners who totally mess things up before they call me!! I end up charging more than it would have been if they just called me in the first place. Anyhow, great video as usual. I didn't learn anything new, but I'm sure most will. ;-)

That’s not true, because no matter how good you are, you can get minor drips and boogers that need to be sanded off or scraped off before you start coating. And I’ve done that both ways.
@@jacobmorenzoni1873 My procedure is simple, when I'm taping if I see a booger I get it off immediately so I don't look like a novice sanding drywall before it's even been coated.

“Don’t sand so much”, is music to my ears.

Thank you so much! I really appreciate your advice and lessons. They encourage me greatly.
I love my Wen power/vac sander...especially when doing ceilings!

Thanks so much!

What if your drywall is bumpy from wallpaper. What is the danger of just sanding it down with a drawall sander?
i over mudded though, so I need to sand a lot 😥
I screwed up a small Job in a couple of places. Tried to sand it down. Will just have to correct it with the next coat. May take 3 coats to get it nice. We’ll see lol

What's the best way to do that without it taking forever and without sanding too much to past the paper?
Which grit do you recommend for orbital sander?
I honestly just want to get rid of the knockout texture, do I sand or not?
Another great video
Sensational video.
Do you have to wipe off the dust before placing the next coat ?
Yes

I've never seen anybody sand a tape coat before, ever. If you have to sand before you even coat you shouldn't be finishing drywall.
That’s not true, because no matter how good you are, you can get minor drips and boogers that need to be sanded off or scraped off before you start coating. And I’ve done that both ways.
@@ThatKiltedGuyDIY If you're sloppy and taping with soup, sure.
Can you post a video with your procedure im interested
@@CogentAnon right. And you never drip and go home with clean pants. Okay Dokee, you win Bossman lol
@@jacobmorenzoni1873 My procedure is simple, when I'm taping if I see a booger I get it off immediately so I don't look like a novice sanding drywall before it's even been coated.

If you’re going to skim coat over it, yes, sand it first.
