Spraying on Drywall Mud with the Graco Mark V

[christenrten]

This looks like a temporary hoarding wall in a shopping mall, which will likely be covered by vinyl graphics advertising the new store under construction. Dude is finishing the wall as fast as possible so the rest of the mall can reopen in the morning.
My drywall customers love these types of jobs. That wall was probably built and taped in 1 nights work.

Followed behind their work for almost 50 years as a trim carpenter...installers and drywall finishers deserve a lot more credit when its done professionally..The Forgotten Crew

By the time you’re done cleaning that thing out I’ll be waiting for the 2nd coat of paint to dry 😂

Butts before flats. Everytime. All the time

Break out the bazooka. The wheel doesn't need reinventing

Good to see someone who can think for themselves. Bazookas however efficient you can be, are heavy, fiddly and only good for paper. Beyond the bazooka is another 2coats which can be sprayed on. All beads, internals(flushed) can be sprayed. 2 jointers can have a far easier day spraying mud and not boxing. I agree that a bazooka can’t be re invented but it’s hard work. It probably depends on weather you own a graco and know how to use it that would expose you to the efficiency of a m5. For me in the uk, I joint and spray airless plaster so the graco just becomes the natural tool of choice. I admire those who have mastered the bazooka, I trialled one and by the end of the day I was back using a donut roller..without proper training it’s a ballache. The tip I use is a 535 incase anyone wants to know and the mud needs to be a similar consistency to what the bazooka, manual mud pump requires.
And if you keep the areas exposed to mud, sealed and wet, no need to clean machine daily. Just like a bazooka can be kept in water.

Please don’t tell me the sound troweling mud will ever go away. It’s the most relaxing sound ever, and most satisfying to watch

Awesome spraying the joint compound whatever gets it done faster to the next step and quality not sacrificed to get paid faster. Thank you for sharing.

one guy with a bazooka would make him look like he was going backwards.

[rogergivens]

When I was running the acme bazooka I pulled around 350, 500 ft rolls a day with a wipe down crew behind me that was 25 years ago it didn't take long to clean up the bazooka at all and I was working for commercial drywall at that time.

A professional running a bazooka would make this guy look like he was standing still

[wadebass]

As a painter, id guess that mud would wear out that piston on the sprayer pretty quick

[jorbace]

By the time you finish sprayed, I’ll be sanding the house. 😂

[kirkjohnson]

I noticed he sprayed the vertical seams, but taped the horizontal seams on a wall that didn't have mud in the verticles.

[ThisManTriggeredMe]

Born consumers. People buying stuff that serves absolutely no purpose. We've been doing drywall in this country for 75 years we've never had to spray spackle onto a wall before taping the joint. Seriously what purpose does this serve other than enriching the corporation that tricked you into thinking you needed that?

[MikeHarris]

I know a Banjo is heavy with the mud on the end. But this seems like more work and a ton of cleanup in the pumper.

[gundersonflooringanddesign]

I realized there might be a problem once he ran over the huge bubble in the tape and folded it over 😮

A dry waller wearing a hard hat! Amazing

Dude trying to be all fast but leaving a trail of destruction behind.
