After four years of college and teaching for twenty one years, you are hands down the most efficient and easily understood teacher I have ever seen. You repeat instructions just the right amount of times and stress the important points. You even incorporate prior learning into your explanations. You would score a 5 out of 5 on a teacher evaluation. You are truly a gifted teacher.

If you ever want a side “gig”, please consider becoming a teacher. This has got to be one of the best explained drywall mudding video. I’m a DIYer in the process of finishing my basement here in Canada. I plan on watching this video as many times it will take me to get the technique right. Well done Stud Pack!

Mudding has been my Achilles heal - needing someone to explain HOW TO HOLD THE KNIFE!!! Man!!! This video has literally answered all of my questions. Thank you,

I’m a general contractor. This guys tips should really be used. His technique is also standard for most mudders that aren’t using the level5 mud/taping tool…. If you can’t afford $1000+ for it then use this man’s technique and maybe expand upon because there’s only so much a video will teach you

Best of luck fellow contractors and DIYers

I could watch someone who's good at their profession work all day. It's almost therapeutic to watch a seasoned pro move along effortlessly. Great work.

No Wasting Mud, and No Waste of words. I like this kind of help.

I'm a pro painter. Been in the industry all my life as my father and grandfather. This is the best, friendly, professional, simple and understandable video on taping and mudding I've seen. Thank you. Super quality and efficient. That's key.

What’s funny is that I’m almost 70 years young and I’ll never have to do this type of taping and mudding. But I’m mesmerized by your teaching techniques and skills. So, I watch like the addicted DIY-er I am. Great job!!

I love how this man is giving you all of the reasons why he chooses the things he chooses because that is educating me he’s not just showing me how to do something and throwing me to the wolves. He’s educating me so I’m knowledgeable about what I’m doing, thank you, sir.

This is the BEST mud and tape tutorial that gets down to business quickly. You had so many tips in there. I've watched dozens of others, but none have given me the confidence to start doing this as this video has. That bonus tip at the very end is crazy... I didn't even know you can pour that much water into a mud bucket overnight and not ruin it.

I got a funny story for you guys.I have never really read directions for things .so the first time I used 20 minute mud, I mixed the entire bag and needless to say I wasted about 95% of it.What A very valuable lesson about not reading the instructions the very first time you do something.

[sttaffy]

I've been framing and drywalling for 20 years, and we are followed up by a very skilled and efficient taping crew. It is an exacting environment with high standards (museum exhibitions). Your methods here match theirs exactly. Great video.

Well done sir. I have been a contractor/carpenter my entire adult life and tape/mud has always been a weak spot for me... just bought another fixer-upper and darn it I am going to learn this stuff once and for all. You Tube is so awesome for this and you have some great tips.

[teckight]

I am a young homeowner approaching doing this for the first time in my own home. And you sir have given me the confidence to approach the job, thank you.

As a DIYer, drywall is my biggest frustration. I think your tips will make it lots easier. I’ll practice, cause anything I can do to minimize sanding will be a win. Thanks!

[johnrakovitis]

You get straight “A’s” on this video, your instructions are clear and through. I can’t complement you enough on your skills and teaching. You are a great resource for those of us who taking our own projects.

[cfomusic]

I've watched a ton of drywall videos about mudding and this is by far the most descriptive one I've ever seen... This will definitely help me with my next kitchen or bathroom remodel when we need to hang our drywall... Thank you so much!

[shannoncarney]

I NEVER write comments, but this video deserves one! This was outstanding and extremely helpful. Thank you!!

Man, where were you guys 50 years ago when i was 15 years old learning to drywall tape and float sheetrock in the family homestead. Could have used all of your tips back then. School of hard knocks I learned from. Thanks for sharing, Ken
