As a drywall finisher for 40 plus years, I like the way you use a 12" finishing box. Yes, I do agree to go over the seams twice to make sure there is no pin holes in the finish if needed to. Another thought: When I used a 8" or a 10" box- I went over the joints twice to make the finish was ready for the 12" flat finisher. Well: It's the way I was taught-so be it. Very good video- I really enjoyed it. Thz, Phil Anderson=Evansville, Indiana
This guy is awesome at giving instructions. Clear spoken and knowledgeable. Thank you!
👌
You did speak from my heart!
Excellent info Great job with instructions learned more than anything else I watched outstanding
Wow great video. Your awesome. You make it seem so easy and I want to but this kit.
Do you just sheet rock 90 in the boxes or automatic taper? Or do you just use regular mud for all coats? And from what I see there is you just use the automatic taper for the first coat 10” box for the next coat and your 12” boxes for the last coat.
Is the level 5 boxes are built to do the corners beads also? The new Columbia boxes are just curious
Can it be pulled completely from the corner?
I was told that sanding between passes causes the dust to keep the next layer from attaching. Can you explain this? I understand that you probably have to take the dust off but how would you do that?
Looks like a cool system. I’m a good taper this just seems faster. I’m skeptical about the thickness though, I always tape at least 2’ seams to taper it well.
Just seen a job finished and done with boxes and flushers.
I’m use to hand finished mudding and seeing the finished product differently.
Many of the factory tapered seams in some areas you can see the drywalls tapered edge after they sanded the factory seams and inside corners look thin but maybe that’s how it suppose to be with these mudding tools
which all materials can use with level5
I have been hand Finnishing for 28 years but I’m thinking about getting in to machines. Sure would take some getting use too but I’m a one man band on the Finnishg now days and Im always looking to evolve
These are definitely what you're looking for!
Your boarder seems to have gone very sparingly with the screws. What was that bullshit with not staggering butt-joints???
Do you think you can use this to skim coat the whole wall
Great tuition my friend. I’ve literally just got my first Level 5 tools today. My mud pump has arrived waiting for the rest. Is there a Pump set up guide as mine came with zero instructions.
Hey Ash, we've got a few videos on our channel. Definitely check them out and if you have any additional questions please give our support line a call at 866.562.4229. They'll get you sorted out!
I'm just a one person shop that does all different types of work and so improving efficiency is import here. I find the equipment is somewhat pricey and hard to justify multiple boxes for the work I do -- For the time being could I get away with using the 10" box on a final skim coat by overlapping my fill coat as if I was using a 12" or 14" box?
Hey Vince, good question! While you MAY be able to get away with that, we wouldn't recommend it as it would be very difficult to product a flat wall.

Please let us know if you have any other questions!
you can just use a ten inch then skim it out by hand after.. still way faster
I personally don't like to pre sand for the finish coat because without the dust the finish gets more sticky to the wall and I been using Level 5,Columbia,tape tec, platinum and Tool pro flat box's but my favorite is definitely Level 5 . I will buy my own set high capacity 10 and 12 coming soon.
Please reach out when you're ready if you have any questions! 📞 800.227.7713
@@LEVEL5Tools I will, Thank you!!
Gotta sand! Otherwise you’ll end up with bumpy joints
Can you use a flat box to skim coat walls with texture as an easy way to get flat smooth walls?
We would not recommend using a flat box for this skim coating textured walls. Instead, we recommend a manual method using skimming blades - www.level5tools.com/catalog/drywall-skimming-blades
Muy bueno
I noticed when you did the ceiling you line up all your but joints. Is that for ease of operation with the box? And... I'm a remodel contractor so I don't do whole houses. I'm gonna bite the bullet and buy this system. Should I go up to a 14" box instead of the 12". I've seen other videos that say I could probably get away with just two coats. Thanks.
Hey Mike, have you purchased your tools yet? Please give us a call at 800.227.7713 and we'll get all your questions answered for you.
@Mike Britt he mentions in the video they're using buttboard from trim tex that recesses the face of the butt joints before any compound is applied. It's a V shaped chunk of OSB that you use to land the end of the sheets on instead of going to the nearest joist or truss. Makes butt joints flat after finishing instead of a smooth bump out.
can you do a vid on how to adjust the front bolt on the box ,,and why its necessary
YEA... what he said.
you mean the switch that controls how much mud ?
👏👏👏👏👏👏

Second coat I always run on 4 possibly 5 , shouldn’t be that
where can i buy this machine ?here in Brazil does not exist
you can buy it on Ebay
Can you use without the pump?
We always recommend using a pump with these tools. It will make your life far easier and your work far more efficient.
I prefer a fat box over a flat box
