What hot mud is and how to use it!

I know you’ve all heard me talk about “hot mud” so let’s take a look at what it is! USG Sheetrock® Brand Easy Sand™ Joint Compound comes in set times as low as 5 minutes and as high as 210 minutes. It helps prevent cracks, works great for filling large gaps and what we prefill with. We always have a bag on hand!

I always sprinkle the powder into the water, not the other way around. Less clumps and easier to mix that way.

I am now able to use 20. When I first started I was a 45. I don’t think I’ll ever be at a 5 min hot mud though. 😵 love your videos. Keep them coming!!

Great quickie intro. Imho anybody who isn't using hot mud for gap filling & tape bedding is nuts and a) asking for cracks & call backs, & b) making work for themselves by mudding the time shortcut possible w/setting type compound.

Great tips! Was in a home Depot a few months ago. A homeowner was going to purchase 15 minute. I talked him into getting something with more work time and explained what the numbers mean. Heck, I can't even use 15 minute, it's set before I get it mixed. Lol

Also, important to mention is that you can only change muds moving higher in drying time. For example you can pre-fill with 5, then complete your patch with 20, but not the other way around. At least this is what I was taught.

Been mudding for 7 months and virtually all I use is 5 min. 95% of the time doing small up to 3 ft wide repairs even. Wish I was afforded enough time to use 20 min, the stress of mixing 5 min and getting it on the wall makes work a bit frustrating sometimes. We'll take a hair drier to the patch after each coat just enough time to have it set but not fully dry and then apply another coat. Can have 3 coats on a medium size patch in an hour this way.

Do you ever add carpenters glue to help adhere to paper?

I am trying to fill an area that is half inch thick with 20 minute mud. I was layering it. Am I supposed to wait until the mud is hard as a rock and totally dry or just wait for it to set and then it can still be moist before adding another layer?

Is the Lowe’s version smoother or is just me?

I thought hot mud was that volcanic stuff those folks are always smearing all over themselves up there in Iceland. Is this come from that place too?

I usually have a bag of 45 and a bag of 20 on hand for remodel jobs. Clean water is important, and water temperature makes a big difference. Clean up tools quick, or you'll regret it
