Thank you Jacob from Israel Contracting! You came in clutch and saved the deposit on my apartment with this.

This tutorial was so well done. Thank you.

Thank you. Best repair video I’ve come across. Living in a 124 year old farm house with a mish-mash of dry wall and plaster walls, all in need of repair. These little fixes are the kind of small but mighty jobs that will build momentum for larger projects and make the place look less abandoned in the mean time.

Edit: autocorrect fail

This is the best drywall repair video I’ve seen so far. Exactly what I needed. Thank you!

[ScottTooley]

It makes good sense to use such a large knife on such a small area. All the extra inches of the knife help keep everything straight. Like using a straight edge. Before watching this video, I'd probably suffer with a small knife.

Thanks for sharing this method to repair wall corners.

[sylviaa]

Thank you for sharing your talent. I really needed to know how to repair my broken areas. Will you make a video on removing stair carpet and finishing stairs? My carpet is old and I want to remove carpet and finish my stairs. Thank you.

Sheetrock is a trademarked brand of drywall, is your repair method only for Sheetrock branded drywall or does it apply to any gypsum board?

[ironmonkey]

the ones I repaired were exposed for a long time I sprayed them with killz first so it would stick

[AlanGallon]

Your accent went up 1000% in this video!

great job i thumbed it, can i get away with joint compound over the corner bead?

[rpandocchi]

If you’re working with drywall w/o texture. Would adding mesh tape or butt joint drywall tape be beneficial to place over the corner bead, over the additional nails of course?

[NMcCauley]

Whixh mud should we use Green or Blue ?

[billmccluskey]

How do I secure the corner bead if there’s no wood behind it. I used 1 1/4” nails but there’s nothing to grab onto. There’s no base plate either.

Complete newbie here... What is that stuff you plaster over the wall?

[keithhoffman]

Nice, but I'm doing work like this now and where the metal meets the sheetrock Im still have somewhat of uneven surface .do I still keep adding more mixture (afraid if it's to thick it will have cracking down the road ) or is there something I'm missing or I need to do .thanks

[appleztooranges]

What happens if they used aluminum on the corner?

Hi- is it possible to fix the corner of a wall and paint it in the same day? I’m moving out of my apartment and the movers hit the wall. I want to fix it and not be charged a fortune by my landlord.

[jamers]

I keep doing my corners but the metal shows through, is that ok or should it be all the way covered by the mud? Thanks.
