Looks like the roof leak or plumbing leak was never properly fixed before

Watching your videos brings back happy memories of my dad who also was a taper and finisher doing so much work every house we lived in. Thanks for posting

Yep, gotta use hot mud first!

Should put how thick to mix your mixture to make video better

Stop the bull shit and repair it rock stud to stud then respackle 😂

Is there anyone here who can tell me what the end game for these vinyl corners is? Am I just filling and filling, because when I sand I am easily back down to vinyl - so am I creating a 90-degree corner? Stuck on a project! Appreciate the videos!

Why the HECK do you want a 12 x 12 patch on a small 8" hole? Perhaps you should mention that this is ok for smooth ceilings, not textured. As a professional drywaller who does repairs all day... please pick a new video. Good try, but you are mussing too many points. Especially... fltaping with fiber fuse needs to set before coating it with mud if you don't want it migrating to the surface of the mud. All in all...there are many better videos....😊

DIY. Never skimmed before. I'll be finishing a garage. I dont want to sand afterwards. Can I just paint after it dries?

Hi great video! I am doing popcorn ceilings and just removed the popcorn and am sanding my ceiling. Can I use this primer to cover this ceiling and have a nice smooth finish instead of using skim coat?

Do you sandpaper the coating after applying it, and then paint? What grit?

You! Are! Hired!!! (omg) I have a water leak blown seam, and I will try this technique. Thank you.

I think you're right. They need to vent that pool glass over the pool somehow....

Nice work! 👏 Thanks for keeping it to the point with no crappy music added....

Cut first

DIY here. I have quite of bit of experience painting because my dad was a landlord and have several rental properties. I frequently helped clean up and paint after each lease. But new to dry wall and repair, my brother did that part and i would paint. Bought our forever home 2 years ago and it was a fixer upper. Finally getting around to remodeling a bathroom feom the 1980s with wall paper that was out directly on the dry wall. The walls are a mess but after watching your videos i think i can do a decent enough job.

It's hard to tell, but did you overlap the fibafuse tape at all? Or was it edge to edge touching only?

Ima d I M er....do it myselfer kinda feller...thanks fer yer tips ...

Apparently nobody knows what “fuse boards” are except for you. Every hardware store keeps taking me to electrical and thinks your fuse boards are just shims.

Wow, first drywaller ive seen actually go into depth about different muds. 👍

I started my drywalling in my basement wall, it suppose to dropp ceiling but we have extra drywall so we decided to use it on ceiling, is it still gonna be ok cause I've read that ceiling first before sidewall, thanks in advance

Do people really ask this question

I like how it gets blurry at the end 😂

There's a couple things that can cause this problem. Dust, dry mud, or no mud under tape.. Also,it possible that the mud froze if done in winter months with no heat. It's hard to see exactly?😊

This is my favorite style of wall texture. I wish I could do my entire home with this but I don’t have the energy. Lol

Everything now has ghetto drum machine music in the background. SUCKS!!!

why the sand?

Perhaps a dumb question: where do you leave the dirty water? Open sewer? Your own sink? I'll be starring a project soon but have no clue where to safely deposit the dirty water cause i fear i might hurt/clog the pipes

He put it all on and took it all off.....

Really?

Hi Paul! Great tip

take the mask off,,stop pushing a lie..

Mix it in the bucket

Bro.... you could of mixed that with your knife. Also, your hot mud is drying while youre showing off your unnecessary tool

Nope

30 year contractor here that has fixed allot of other contractors work. Advice should have come with the caveat of: Are the walls greasy or high gloss? Because if so, PVA prime them first.

I learned you don't fix up your rental because the landlord comes through and says: "Wow, this place is nice, I need to charge more rent for this".

I don’t understand why you guys sand so much If you use a hawk and trowel you can polish as it sets for a mirror smooth finish like here in the uk We also use gypsum plaster which will be dry enough to polish in under an hour and job is then done

Thank you, this helped me a lot. I really appreciate you taking the time to make this video. Not a pro, just an old woman trying to diy her bathroom ceiling.

how do you mix the mud

Handy man

That's easy.....it's patching plaster with drywall that's really fun.

I didn't learn nutten🤪

Looks good from my house..hee hee

Hey Paul, I’ve been watching your videos and getting some grade tips. Thank you very much! I just did my first ceiling patch after a plumbing repair upstairs. Some of the edges of the paper tape are lifting after I sanded. I’m thinking I’ve got to cut out those edges, re-mud and see how it goes. I really should’ve used the mesh tape. Also, I don’t think I mudded in a large enough area around the repair. I wish I could hire you for a bit of remote help over FaceTime etc lol

Hey Paul, I did a similar patch in my living room ceiling. I can’t believe how perfect yours looked with the very first coat of mud! I’m just doing a sanding on my first coat and I’ve already got a couple of pieces of drywall tape edges popping up. I guess I need more mud? It’s amazing how easy something looks but how tricky it can be in real life. Thank you very much for this. I’m going to trim the tape edges give it another coat of mud and see how it looks. I think my problem is I only went a few inches around my 10 inch patch and I should’ve probably gone eight or 10 inches or more past patched area.

Skim coating first time

Good brush technique

You cut then roll so you roller smooths out your brush marks. Cut twice, roll twice. Cheaters cut once.

I have a cracked tape joint that goes the whole width of my garage.. the beams up in the attic run perpendicular to the crack so they would block me trying to put a board down (I think) would something like this still work?

Thank you Mr. Rogers ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
