Explaining the difference between a curved Trowel and a flat Trowel, two common drywall tools, and demonstrating their uses while finish mudding drywall joints.

Finally, I get an explanation on the difference between a curved trowel and a "Finishing" trowel and their specific uses. Now I know I need to buy a finishing trowel in addition to a curved trowel. Thank you so much.

I always wondered what they were for. I will pick one up and give it a go TY

Nice video, I use a curve too for first coat, curious how you use them on butt joints ? I like to split both sides first with 90 if they're bad, then fill the middle when it sets. I find I get the flattest joint by doing it that way.

Thanks. What are your thoughts on flex vs ridgid?

Just as a DIY homeowner, if I only want one trowel for simple drywall repair and whatnot would you go for a flat one?

Curved actually lays flat if you use it as intended.

Good comparison, but, you're pronouncing "trowel" wrong.
