I've been spilling water on the floor for years. But I always learn something new from your videos. Great tips!

Thank you for the video. I have always what to know how to do that with that 90 min. Hot mud.
I'm going to try it now on jobs I do. Also, I have pick up on lot of your videos. That has made
my jobs go very well. I've in the building and remolding business for 45 years now. Always
learning new ways. Thank You again your videos have always been helpful and to the point.

Perfect timing! I have 1500 sq foot basement to pre-fill and a bag of pro-set 90!!!

Always great videos!!!

With this particular brand you use, put your knife (the one you used to open the bag) vertically in the bucket, and pour water into the bucket around an inch under the handle. That is around the amount of water needed for a full bag of quick set.

Thank you for your videos. I have been a carpenter for over 20 years and I have avoided taping and mudding as much as I can, now, when I don't really have a choice. The remodel requires quite a bit of new drywall furred out to meet old plaster, new gang boxes, closets, pantries, etc....It was time to tackle my "fear" and hesitation to tape and mud significant amounts of drywall. I came across your videos and I I can't thank you enough for your transperancy, honesty, sharing of your skills, and taking the time to make these videos. I am much more confident in my skills and I have to say that after watching your videos and putting the tips and tricks to work, and by just doing the work, it looks better thank I could have imagined. THANK

I've always found a 2 parts powder to 1 part water a pretty good mix, little thick but for most applications it works well and it's easy to have a couple a cups of any size to measure with, just depends on how much you want per batch.

I believe the correct word is slake, which is to quench a thirst. After mixing you let the mud sit for a while (5-10 minutes) while it continues to absorb water until its capacity to do so is slaked. I've heard masons and others use the word "slack" for almost 50 years but I think this is a case of learning by rote (the guy who taught me said slack, so that must be right).

Thanks for the videos from Upland California.

for any home owner/diyer's like myself, you can get a 2 gallon bucket for mixing small batches (less waste/more working time) and they are easier to clean out when you are done. the ones from the premixed mud work great.

Great video! Whale tail is nice too for camera work

Awesome i started mudding my house. first time. If I can give a tip bud.. I had a water hose setup outside with a nozzle..so that when I ran out of mud in the bucket..i rinsed it out and cleaned my knives.. TIME SAVER..!!! Went back in and mixed another batch of 90 minute.. REPEAT.

now that i have learned how to spill water on the floor, i feel ready to tape ! XD

[jcampbell]

My favorite channel! Keep up the great work!!!

Pretty good and quick tutorial and this works good with 90 minute in that amount, but I usually prefer just to tape and bed with 20 minute in small batches, mix with hot water if possible and you’ll be able to finish coat with some nice thinned down bucket mud same day. Or 20 all the way if you’re doing small repair jobs, learn how to “wet sand” with a good smooth rag and you can knock out a decent size repair and have it painted same day $$$

You'd think, with 4 kids I wouldn't need a video on how to spill water on the floor, but alas, here I am. Lol!

Thanks! This helped so much maybe I can finally finish my boys' room with a minecraft block wall.

The drill has survived possibly thousands of mixes and keeps right on ticking. Dewalt makes a perfect mixer even if caked all over with drywall mud.

[patrickcowan]

I've found the 90 not great for taping, you talked muds and adhesive properties, so now I ad a splash of weldbond into the mix and have excellent results.

[efrainmartinez]

Can you use hot mud to skim walls and ceilings.
