"Just enough so that the mesh tape is barely peeking through" - that's 90% of what I needed to know, and almost no other YouTube videos mention it. Thanks!!

[chrissearcher]

Just wanted to let you know that I'm a single mom renovating a 70's home on my own and your channel is a lifesaver to me! Thanks so much for making these videos. I really needed this info exactly right now! I have no knowledge, so I love that you start from the basics.

People like you really make the world a better place.

[TEXASHANDYMANSVCS]

From a fellow veteran, thank you for your service.

[lisac]

One thing I specifically liked in this video - you showed pictures of the actual products when using g the term “hot mud”, so it’s clear what to use. I took on a project that was too big and beyond my experience, to help out my daughter. I wish I had found your site sooner! And thank you for your service and protecting the American way of live.

[timclardy]

I have used mesh tape with regular joint compound for years, never had a problem.

[sawdustadikt]

This is great info. I’m self taught as well. 20 something years ago, I couldn’t get my paper tape down with out bubbles so the fiber tape was getting a better results. Had I seen a pro do their work, I wouldn’t have made so many mistakes. Videos like yours and others have made taping and skimming much more fun. I’ll add to what you have done here by saying it is a great practice to prefill ANY gaps before applying tape. Slam that hot mud into the gap so it mushrooms out the back and wipe clean with your knife. A little insurance on your time spent doing the best you can do every time you get out your gear. I’ve demoed drywall that has had this done and the joints were so strong the seam didn’t break when I was doing the wiggle, wiggle, wiggle then pull giant pieces of drywall down(you grab the drywall with your hands and wiggle it so that the fasteners break through the paper and you can pull giant pieces down, bigger pieces is less handling, less time spent cleaning up as well) seeing that the mud was applied like that was interesting then to notice it was fiber taped after I deliberately broke the seam was an eye opening. I really appreciate your tutorials, your helping all of us be better every time we get after it.

I am a DIYer and just finished my basement with mash tape. I was short in time so used 90 minutes mud as first coat to save time. Now that I saw ur video, it makes me feel good to know that I did it right way without knowing it.

[edsherrod]

Thanks for sharing this video with us. - wish I had seen it before I attempted my drywall repair. I bought Easy Sand 20 and FibaTape for a large (14" x 17") drywall patch. I learned the hard way that (1) Easy Sand 20 only needs about 1 part water to 3 - 4 parts product to get the right consistency, (2) that I shouldn't need to fully cover the tape, and (3) that it is really easy to put on too much Easy Sand. 🙂 It looks as if I will get to know my sanding block very well before I finish this project!

[myway]

Thank you for your service. My son did four years in the Navy. Now is a State trooper and in the Army Reserve. I really am learning a lot. Thanks >>>

[eastcoastamateuraerials]

Thanks for such a great video. This should be the only one people watch!!! I found so many videos that were wrong in the way to apply. I have been a paper taper for almost 30 years and this is the proper way. Definitely got my sub. Can't wait to see what's next.

[keithcuster]

Thanks for your service . It makes me happy to support a fellow Air Force veteran. Your videos are great for little DIY repairs around my house and making sure they don’t look like I had my 8 year old do them.

I'm a professional commercial and industrial painter and drywall finisher with only 20 years experience but in that time I've personally used at least 300+ rolls mesh tape and learned from my experience that mesh tape should always be 1st coated with quick set or the chance of it cracking is about 90% . Now I'm more of just a superintendent for the company I work for and if I catch my finishing crew using mesh with regular mud they will be run off my jobsites because of the headache and time and material of rework that will be needed to fix the problems that it will create . Mesh tape is only allowed on patchwork and not on new construction on my jobsites . This kilted guy sure knows his stuff and everything I've seen him post is so very true 👍.

[ajldat]

I think your channel is one of the best on you tube, you make a novice much improved, you don't for get the little tips the beginner needs to know, thank you.

[kokobrazil]

I purchased a brand new mesh tape and tried to stick it on a complete dray wall (ceiling) and it would not stick, i knew which side is sticky but it was a disaster especially when I was doing the ceiling after ai tried a lot I gave up then I had an idea why not soak the mesh tape with fast setting mud (thin layer)and stick it on the ceiling guess what it worked and I did finish the job the point here is not all mesh tape glue is strong and be prepared to act quickly and solve the problem love you show

[gtrplr]

Thanks for the info, I’m always looking for ways to improve my drywall skills. Proper material selection is key, don’t be shy about asking the real pros for advice either. Most guys are willing to help you out, I’ve come a long way with more to go. It’s challenging, but when the results are there it’s worth it.

[michaelmaas]

I only do small DW repairs now and then and so appreciate your channel!

[jeffherring]

I used all-purpose compound with mesh tape on my garage I built in 2006, I just went out and looked at it and did have a few small cracks but I think they could easily be covered with a quick coat of paint. I'm hoping to build a house soon, to be safe I will be using the hot mud. Thanks for the Videos!

[ScottyDMcom]

Thank you. I'd wondered why hot mud was a requirement. "Because it can fail if you use general purpose mud, " is an answer I understand.
