Probably one of the best instructional videos I’ve watched. So well explained and clearly spoken.

[jayjudd]

I done drywall at home and learned that the hard way. Taking those glued back hooks off sometimes will give that problem.
He explains it well.

Elmer's glue as a sealer and Pink Spackle work well. If you have a lot of repairs to make, buy all that stuff, but it's overkill for one little tear.

[scyban]

I've used Elmer's glue or titebond wood glue as a sealer before and it has worked pretty good. Just a FYI.

[markbrown]

good vid bro...no rap music, no showing off your new bass boat...right to the point...i got can of that gurd and know how to use it now, along with other tips

[AlexisAvedisian]

thank you for solving my minor command strip disaster lol

[NathanHarrison]

Excellent tutorial. Looking forward to looking for bubbles when I get home on all the patches that I did incorrectly last week. Subscribed.

[NavyCopMA]

Appreciate the video... I'm a bit of a drywall nightmare so every little tip helps!

[johnberry]

Good old fashioned Wood Glue and Plastic Wood are what we rely on around here. These 2 products mixed with good lighting and patience will resolve most issues. Thank you for the lesson. Stay safe.

This video was well timed for me while doing a bathroom remodel. Thanks!

[DurangoRT]

The easiest way for me is to cut the paper all the way through and then just use some joint compound. Works every time.

Elmer's glue works great, too, and is much less expensive than Zinsser Gardz. It can also be applied over wall paper if you plan on painting over it.

I love this channel, I love how he explains how things work, especially for beginners like me, great video as always

[juliocrespo]

Guards is a water base sealer, water wets the drywall paper and sometimes makes it loose as seen in this video.

[christopheranderson]

Distilled water mixed with pva glue works great in place of sealer you used. You also need to add some to your hot mud because it lacks the adhesive in those powder mixes compared to premixed.

[whyzup]

First...be patient:
Prep all your walls initially.
The first thing it says on a can of paint?
Clean the surfaces!!
Then...any (sub) patching:
You score w/ a new blade at an inside angle in one swoop.
If your not going deeper than paper...be gentle with the scoring.
Then use (guardz or ready patch) primer for adhesion and sealing.
Hit it twice and smoothly feather with a good 6-12inc knife w/ 20/20 as to get it right.
You can sand primer...you can't sand paint
Finish with wall schedule paint.

In older homes that have been wallpapered, you can spend your whole life picking at it if you don't draw an irregular line with a utility knife somewhere.

[jwigley]

Solid video. Thank you. I just did my first sheetrock job in my spare garage and the finishing work was... not good. LOL. I'm glad I watched this because I have a few ripped paper spots I'll have to deal with and I was originally planning to just put compound directly over it.

[ItchyKneeSon]

Draw-Tite (not to be confused with the trailer hitch brand) is another adhesion promoter for use under drywall mud.

The tear reminds me of the Patriots logo. 😊
