How to properly fill drywall joints

[lencarter]

I’ve been watching “a lot” of videos on this topic and I would put yours in the very top three. Excellent, concise and to the point. Great job! Thank you.

I didn’t expect that. I’ve watched hours and hours of drywalling videos and this one just beat all the years they spent perfecting their craft to explain themselves without showing what you just did in one step. Placing your blade across your work. I think that having auto body experience helps understand this trade.

When you placed the blade over all your work you showed how “if you mess it up” just -check it and redo it..


Live, not one teacher shows if their work is too high and say “here’s me checking my work”.

That was an amazing lesson thank you!!

I was a taper finisher for years, before I moved trades. I'm back to remodels and painting mostly now. But that comes with a ton of drywall work and repair. I really enjoyed your skimming blade video, because I never had one of those till last year. But we used to call overfill "belly" or bellied. Those humps throw shadow lines like crazy. I appreciate your ability to explain this stuff. That is something I am not great at.... Teaching is hard.

Excellent video - very informative. Thank You

Very good explanation I love the fact that you explained not to hump a joint it's better to leave it thin and do it again or else you will have to coat. Join as a butt joint you're absolutely right how many times have I done that 😂🤣💲👍👍👍🇨🇦🇨🇦😎

Hi. Love you videos, you explain and show everything so to the point and simply!
I’ve bought a house that needs new paint but ALL of the drywall joints have extreme bumps! Even the ceiling (Existing job, I haven’t started the works yet). I’m looking to do this myself but had little knowledge of how to do this until someone suggested your channel. As this is my home I really want the best finish possible. My question is would doing a massive amount of sanding over the existing mud give a flat surface?
I’ll be doing one room at a time so lots of sanding is doable. I’ll be painting.

Painter here, just out curiosity why are the knives so dirty? I have trouble with getting a smooth finish with a dirty knives? Even when my knives are clean, I tend to overwork the mud. I like how you leave mud that you need to leave. Good plasters are absolutely awesome. Bad ones leave a huge mess but we aren't all perfect. I guess some of us are. Lol. Keep on keeping on sista.

You should use a 10" knife for long joints if you have no boxes

[normandfontaine]

Have you done the same kind of video for butt joint? Tank’s very well explain!

[peggywest]

Thank you for this video. I have vertical humps that have been primed. Can I still use this method to fix it?

[howtodoitdude]

What’s your thoughts on rip cuts? When drywallers install a strip in the middle of the wall!

[miketrulson]

What are some tips to get a consistent depth of mud as you're using a knife? I have a tendency to have too thick at the start and end really thin.
