Awesome job! Really learning a lot from you and hope to continue learning more and saving money as well :D

Nice man! Hey one thing (if you mix a lot of mud): use a painters stick. 5 gallon stick if you're mixing a large quantity. It'll make your mixing way easier and faster.

[Chris.Rhodes]

It's always best practice to add the water first with the hot mud as it keeps the powder from coming up in the air as much, but I seen a video years ago that when using 5 minute, add powder first, and add water a little bit at a time, but the guy said don't add more after that because now you have a batch that's activated, trying to add more will screw with your batch because you have already activated mixing with fresh....so I've always mixed powder then water for the 5 minute. Also, I would use a wet sponge and sand and feather your edge to then do texture. Wet sand gets a better edge when feathering for texture than sandpaper. But either way man, good job. I would definitely try wet sanding!

[BIG_DRU]

Good job💯 a lot of people leave the screws out……

PUT THAT HOPPER AWAY! Get a toilet bowl brush, swirl it in some texture mud and practice flicking mud for about a minute. Get the rounded “bullet” head brush . More precise, less hassle.

The corner cracks are small and tiny and all of them are horizontal on the left and the right it's a fridge grill on the right so they need a pigeon to connect them both together

I got a four inch crack above the toilet and this seems like a lot of work for that small of an area.

[cawiltu]

Thanks. My problem is that the ceiling every textured

[RICKDOEZ]

Bro your an pro. Did u go to school? Nicely done.

[thedonhustle]

Would you do this to the ceiling as well?

[mrcoollu]

do you think addiding a mesh would be a issue so the dry wall looks better

[erichsh]

Very helpful. What size compressor do you have for that texture sprayer? I have a small one for my brad nailer.

[ROSNROT]

Nicely explained and easy to understand. Great work

@07:12 your 100% A okay I have the same socks on when I;m doing my walls

Why do you use mesh tape? Are you aware it's the weakest kind and most liable to cracking? Using hot mud with it gives it better strength, but if you're repairing a spot that's liable to crack I'd recommend using stronger tape.
