How to mix drywall compound so it's smooth and creamy

[snowsurfr]

You have THE BEST instructional videos on drywall. Thank you!

[leannhorne]

Lowes doesn’t even sell those boxes here in the northeast. One extra skill. You are amazing & so are your videos

Yes! I love the blue mud it's much easier to sand than the green buckets. Sometimes I work right out of the bucket but I do usually add a bit of water to make it easier. But the amount of water you added gave me some anxiety! Try applying that mud to the ceiling from a hawk your gonna be dropping it all over your face🤣!! And the floor. But I think for smaller areas or just on tape lines on walls it might work. Thanks for the video. I'm in the middle of restoring an old house with horse hair plaster that's falling out of the latts. I knocked out all the loose stuff and I'm patching in sheet rock then using hard durabond in between the cracks, then mesh taping over cracks then 3 coats of blue joint compound! Going to try mixing it out of the bucket this time.

I love these videos. I just wished I’d seen them before I finished my living room. They are a little hard to watch tho the way the camera moves up and down so much. It would probably be easier to not stay zoomed in all the time and just cover the entire scene. Just an observation. Thanks so much for doing these.

man i know why my mud sucks lol. Thanks for the tips

[jeffcook]

Great video. I’m guessing you generally use all purpose to tape? Or do you use Plus 3 for it? Ive heard all purpose is better for taping because it has more glue :)

[SalPane]

👍do you use joint compound fast 90, 45, 20

i have a domestic well (and no filtration yet). i get probably a tsp of fine black sand in the water for every 5 gallons or so of water pumped out. is using this quality of water a problem with drywall mud? thanks dwshorty! always something to learn from the videos you’re putting out.

If I’m only find all purpose mud… do I put dish soap or not? Stores here doesn’t have the one your using

[jeffjames]

I notice you always seem to wear thin gloves, why do you do that instead of bare-handed?

[jasnapon]

Do you ever add glue for extra adhesion

[kurthanushek]

I do drywall finishing only very occasionally so I do it all with hand tools and I am sure that there are may tricks I don't know, but I can't imagine using the thinned compound without wearing more than I get on the wall, yet alone on a ceiling. The compound right out of the box looks about right to me.

So are you telling me, it's not ready to put on wall right out the box/bag. I've been scooping it out and straight to the wall

[galegregorycomcast]

Can you show me about I don't know what it's used for but I know it's a foam formula or something

[عبدالناصرفندي]

Thank you, you are always wonderful, I always continue to work you, I have been sent to you before, I have been working in this field for a long time, I want to work with you, is it possible for you to send to a work contract or invite him

Can you do much smaller batches? I just need to mud a drywall return window or other small projects at a time? Can a first timer get a decent skim coat rolling on with a roller and coming back over it with a 24 or 32 inch drywall blade?

How much does one of these box’s cover

Avoid lite muds if you can. What makes it “light” is because it has a lot more air in it.
