I'm a bricklayer by trade. I'm drywall in
a addition to my house I have a new respect for drywallers and also your videos you're a good teacher! thanks!
Wow, learned a lot. The tearing off the corner of the sanding sponge is pure GENIUS and so simple. God bless you and your great video's.
Agreed
I like how you explained left road and right hand side of the road. I've tried to explain this myself to other people and it's difficult. Great job!
Other way to understand that is using the same corner and the same face of the knife against each side of the 3 way
I have never mudded drywall before but I wanted to try it in a room I just built. I watched this video and tried his technique and guess what I got? A perfect three way corner. Of course it probably took me three times longer. :)
I had to do a small job a week ago. After watching your videos, at times instead of listening to U-Tube oldies, I'll watch your work. Dead serious. I love to watch your work and you take your time and show it well. Thanks.
Hey, Ben! Thanks for the tips on how to use hard trowels. I’ve been practicing with the hard trowel at work and have finally started to get some great results.
I appreciate that this video tells us when to let the mud dry. Many videos aren't clear about that.
I spent last summer working for a drywall company boarding, taping and mudding. I was surprised at how strangely satisfying it was .
It is! It really burns you out over the long haul though. You can get trapped in it.
@@vancouvercarpenter story of my life.
All your videos that I've seen so far show professional talent. Good work.
Agreed
bought an angled sanding sponge the other day and the tip about tearing off that corner was helpful. Thank you
Love your videos - you're an excellent teacher
Jack Harrison He really is. Very easy to understand.
Thanks Jack:)
Agreed
I'd like to see a video on when you have a new wall and an existing textured ceiling. I'm struggling to get the corner covered and blended into the existing textured ceiling. A how to would be awesome. Thanks again for sharing your skills.
What kind of texture was it?
Yup I found i like those little angle sponges and have left track marks if not being careful. My next drywall I’m going to pick that corner off. Thanks for the tips
You're both using them wrong. The angled edge is supposed to be in the corner and you put pressure on the surface you're sanding down
Hey mate. Love your videos, watch them as relaxation 😊. You obvious have great knowledge and experience, doing drywalls. Coming from masonry I like to use only the trowel on inside corners (I use it for everything really, maybe a wide knife or the 12" now and then). Makes corners faster and I can blend out further in one go. A bit surpsised why its so rare because its perfectly square and you draw of all the left overs on the oposite side with the same stroke as you smooth the side youre on. Keep up the good work👍🏻
Ybba yabba do! A master at work! Thanks for sharing your secrets with us. Wish you well each and every day! Everyone needs a saviour……….
Left hand / Right hand drive! Great way to remember , love it!
Your videos are a great help. Just what I needed to understand how to do a small DIY drywall job.
Nothing better then a perfect three way. Thanks again
I just want to say thank you that was very helpful video.
When i do those corners i use a 2 hours mud and do one side first on all the rooms and on the same day do the outer side. Always do the last pass of mud with a slow dry mud.

I really want to learn to do this stuff the right way. I work in a building and get paid by an hour. Problem here is that the guy who is teaching me does stuff really quick because the building owner and manager are pushing for the next tenant to get in always the same story no matter what 😔 that factor make us do a lot of mistakes and not perfect jobs like you do and I would love to do stuff the way you do. Imagine I only mostly used quick set 5 minutes, 20 or 45 and only really weird when I use topping. Amazing Job my friend I am your apprentice 🙏 sensei 😂
Wow..i learnd a lot wd ol ur vids... da tricks and ol dat... specially now dat im doing DIY make over to my room... really a big help... continue sharing... God Bless!
Very good technique. If anyone thinks this takes a little too much time, please note that his "tri-sect" will need very little sanding; that's money in the bank. Nice job!
p.s. I loved the sponge hack too.
Yes! I have done it this way also every. -- float it smooth--- pull it tight
that car analogy is awesome, makes perfect sense to me as I used to get confused
Ben, the 45° on the sanding sponge is there so you dont gouge the wall no need to tear the edge of your sponges.
patrick morgan actually, the way he tears the sponge allows you to square the angle out. If you use the point off the sponge, you groove and round the angle. I could also say they don’t use a roller, don’t know if he fills gaps with bond, etc. tape could not be wiped properly and be rounded. All subjective. If he puts out nice work, he puts out nice work
Detailed, clear and short. Thank you for the great lesson
Agreed
You're the man. when i try this it ends up mud city. Stay beautiful.
😍
Thanks for the instruction. helps ALOT!
Awesome teacher. Have learnt lots.
Looks great. I for one love my inside corner tool
Pro move @1:23. The no look drip catch. The man is an artist
I was cursing you last night 🤣 I tried your approach but I continue to get mud squishing out on the opposing side. I even bought the 4” knife with flat edges and could t get it to work. On a positive note - I love the 4” over my 6” ☺️
Thanks very much for the great how to videos. Greatly appreciated
What a great teacher you are! Thank you!
Thank you! 😃
Thk. Siempre aprendo mucho de estos videos.
Excellent Work!
Agreed
As someone who is not a professional taper and am in the midst of tackling a complete bathroom gut and remodel in my 1.5 story cape cod home by myself, thank you for the edumacation and the tips. This video is great and will come in very handy.
One quick question although maybe it's better suited for a different one of your videos:
In a bathroom and specifically the areas that may get water splashed on them (bathtub, sink area, lower part of walls) do you recommend using mold/mildew mesh tape or do you still prefer using paper tape?
I have both and did do the ceiling joints with mesh tape but now I'm concerned about strength. The roof is above the bathroom I'm doing and all the studs are plumb now. I have blown in insulation above the ceiling already (18") and the house is old (1947).
Thanks for making these videos. Very helpful.
holy shit I've never seen a corner so good
Agreed
Love watching you man great tips and tricks I hate mudding and taping loll!!
Great video you're awesome Ben my phone has came out awesome but I also have done a lot of concrete work. I call it like a classic movie when I loved when I was a kid gleaming the cube a perfect cube corner thank you
PS yes it takes a little bit of extra days to let things dry and work the next day well worth it jump to something else to work on
Wow...very percise !
Great information, thanks. How do prep the pre-painted surfaces, just the mud?
thank you for your videos. they are very helpful!
It looked pretty good to start out
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Super thorough and informative.
Good tip that makes a perfect inside corner
Thank you, hope Canada stays cold
Wish I had the Vancouver carpenter on the job today!!!you need a hotline cha ching
Very Nice!.... Thank You!
My goodness, that glob at 2:07 was stressing me out :)
I noticed you used short pieces of tape on the two walls leading into the corners. Does that make it easier to work instead of using a long piece of tape that would run the length of the wall? Also, if you do use short pieces, do you just butt up the next piece, or overlap it to finish taping the wall going away from the corner? Thanks!
da324 I am dying to know this same thing! Guessing this was just for the demo; to do the job properly we would measure and precut the paper tape to size of the entire length of the seam.
Awesome video and content--particularly the part about tearing off the corner of the sponge sanding block. 5-Stars++
Man that corner job was money!
Thanks!!
Man you were made to drywall and mud 👩⚖ 🏌️♂️ 🍾 🍻 👑
My son in law is a drywaller. His motto is "you can't shoot a man who was born to hang"
Always great job. Keep up the good work, I always learn new tips!
This guy is majic.
Nice tutorial. Thank you
Thank you for all the great videos! We moved to Bowen Island and have a massive amount of drywall to do on our old Pana-bode style cabin house. Any advice on drywalling over wood walls would be appreciated. Otherwise Im feeling pretty good through watching your videos in giving it a shot!
This is extremely helpful! Thank you!
Will have a look at my kitchen in two months
Let me know how it goes!
Would you please make a video about using corner bead to make an arched entryway.
Cut out some plyboard apply drywall blend and stucco ...
Great stuff Ben, thx for all the vids! Something I've been struggling with is joints where one side is new 1/2" drywall and the other side is 5/8" textured & painted. So theres quite a difference as far as the two sides being flush with each other. Any tips or possibly a video on how to tackle this type of issue? I am currently trying to mud these joints (entire bathroom remodel) and it's not going too well so far.
D J, Since I guess the drywall is installed, you will have to use a wide prefill on the 1/2 inch side only; 24 inches if you can. Then, sand the top off the texture (you can't remove it all since it is painted), and skim a tight layer of 20 minute mud over the texture about 12 inches wide. After setting, lightly sand the crumbs and ridges, then tape the joint as usual and run a double wide top coat. This should hide that difference.
The next time, make sure the hanger flushes the surfaces as they apply the board.
Hi Ben. I’ve learnt so much from you mate. I like your attention to detail too. Regards from Perth WA 🦘🇦🇺
Man you are good, but I most definitely suck at this. Thanks for the videos!
Very good!
nice. tedious, requires patience and time but the result is great
Subscribed! Great videos
Good video
Sounds like 3M needs to modify their sponge and send you some royalties. I've run into that problem of that sponge leaving the 1" line in the corners. Thanks for that tip!
Fantastic, thanks
Good job Thank you
I want to see how to pick and tape the three ways when doing them with corner tool rolling flushing when doing a full room you tape all the corner's roll,flush then pick the three ways very tricky I get there but could use some help
Nice demo thanks for sharing that forward to getting to know you and your channel keep up the great work your new friend Ken. God bless bye for now
I was wondering if you ever use a corner trowel. Would it be a time saver .How ...would ..... could u feather with a corner trowel ?
Thanks for all the help
I noticed you essentially only use one coat of mud, sand and done... 99% of the drywall videos out there do two or three coats. Is one coat really enough? Also, what is your thoughts on using 20 (or 45) minute mud so you can finish that day instead of two or three days?
Would You Make a Video on How to Install Crown Molding?
Nice job
The best way to get an inside corner: get VC to come do it for you 🤣😁
any tips as to how to finish it in one go with a corner trowel?
Great video!!!thank you!😄
Really nice
I’m in the middle of finishing out a bathroom remodel. Today I got so frustrated that I threw my mud pan across the room. Finishing drywall sucks.
Did the mud land in a good place?
@@brandonfontaine285 nope.
Good to know I’m not alone lol
I was at a similar place, I love these videos but a guy like me needs more info than is usually provided, it helped when I realized I am not a pro and picked back up my corner knife, got my pantry done a few days ago and looks good!
That's when you know you care, and when you're learning. Even though it's annoying as hell!🤣
Hey Ben - thanks for all the amazing videos and tips. Question for you; can you recommend any (U.S. available ) tape or corner product for a 45 degree outside corner ?
Come to my house now! Helpppp You rock!
Watched a lot of your videos but never seen you wet sand with a sponge, wondering if there is a reason why
Very nice!
Instead of ripping the sponge edge can you just get a scissor and cut it?
Is there a video on how to install L metal on kurf door jambs
6:25 Isn’t that what the tapered edge is for?
So quick question. I noticed when you did the corners, on the wall to your right, you didn't take the tape all the way to the other corner. Do u do the long piece coming from the other corner to meet with were u ended this one?
You make taping corners with a knife look easy. I cheat with the corner trowels you hate lol
Just to be clear, you technically are totally fine and ready for primer after two rounds of mudding? Here in Michigan I like to you 120 quickset mud for the first round or two, and then a round two of topping mud? Am I over doing it?
ok, you got me to subscribe too, nice work
Yep! Me too, just watched him fro the first time, and subscribed after I watched this whole video. He's a very good instructor.
Awesome job Ben, what a massive help this is. One question tho, when you're on the finishing pass of sanding is 220 grit what you generally use?
I’m a finisher as well, and 220 is way too fine. Use 120-150 grit for sanding finish.
@@LUckybones25 Thanks, Chuck!
make you're own sander spongeee!
Genius
I’d like to add a comment....be careful with fumes when painting the upper portions of walls and ceilings. Use a LARGE FAN FOR VENTILATION
