Disk grits you use This is my first time using same tool previously using by hand By using this tool with 120 grits disk there are kind of round round mudding prints remains on first time coating Could you help me whats the solution?

[@carlyngilbertson5665]

I want you to know that I’m currently in a Building Trades program and we are at the muddying and taping stage of our house build. Your videos have been so helpful to me and I get complements from my instructors about my application quality. Thank you for making these videos!

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

That is awesome! You rock!

I love this channel and even though I've done some home improvement stuff with my parents rentals for years. He's showed me some cool tricks. My boss loved the California patch I fixed at work :)

[@portagepete1]

Do yourself a huge favor and learn what's in the dust and what happens if it gets in your lungs. I don't think your teacher knows if he does know he won't say because then he wouldn't have any students.

[@jmtexx]

how do you get into the trade

[@noahstokes1323]

Our carpentry college teacher actually made us watch this guy for mudding as homework 😂

[@aimm20]

I bought a Bauer drywall sander from Harbor Freight for 150 bucks. Just an option for those who don't want to spend a lot of cash on a Dewalt. Really enjoy the channel, helped me out many times on my reno projects. Big Thanks to you.

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Great tip!

[@Zeus-dw1cx]

Absolutely,it works just like the expensive ones.

[@reddawn352]

When I was in the business of Contracting, I used to have an electric Bosch Disc Sander such as what you were talking about. That hooked up to the vacuum cleaner and it was a breeze, took all my troubles away and it makes a whole house drywall job a breeze. In fact you end up looking for more work, because it's that nice.

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

less work , less mess, Cheers!

[@mattr4886]

I would do the same: Hooked up my shop vac to the disc sander. A couple extra things I would do is remove the filter in the vac, fill it with a couple inches of water and also put a wet towel over the back end of the shop vac. Always impressed others who saw how well it worked : )

[@Whospeakestruth]

Just pick up a Bauer 9 inch drywall sander with telescoping pole and LED light ring and dust collection. Folds in half comes with pads and carrying bag $ 99.00 on sale. Thanks for all info you give.

[@amyfreeze9772]

Thanks for the tip on how to hold it. I had that issue of uneven sanding using the pole.

[@pamlamay8420]

I am SO glad I found your videos< I have been watching many channels yours is making the most sense and easy to understand, my husband past away May 13th 2023 I have a lot of repairs to do and now I feel confident I can do it. Thank you

[@jakecrib9971]

My Man. You are amazing. I can't believe how much you know about all phases of building. Anything I ever need to know about it, I will search your videos. You don't cut corners or cheat. You do things properly first time. That's the way I do it . Do it right the first time and you won't have to do it twice. Thanks

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

I appreciate that!

[@julieb3581]

we bought the Maxxt "Amazon Choice" as it was $269.99 CAN, NOW the motor is on the head so it makes i very heavy. My dream is to get a Festool but $1600 was not about to happen. Got a Compact size shop vac and the bags for drywall and the filter and we were almost 95-98% dust free. Worth every penny! We have used it so many times and just not having all that drywall dust to deal with was awesome. I have never seen the sweeping compound but adding to our list. I bought an orbital sander that I use so much, especially for inbetween paint coats for sanding to get a smooth finish. YOu have awesome tips and tricks.

[@MustPassTruck]

That clouding look with manual sander is the air around you lol. Love dustless sanders. Even use random orbital sander for wood working with a hepa vac.

[@matthewallen8075]

I bought one of these just over a year ago (mainly to strip a pop corn ceiling which it did amazingly) but this winter I finally got to use it to sand new drywall and wish I had bought it years ago! As you said in the video turn the speed all the way down to start it will pull you around the room if you arent careful. The shopvac hook up is a must as well I lent it to my brother in law and forgot to mention that part and he ended up absolutely covered 😂 Another great trick with it is if you are mudding and drip mud on the subfloor just you can go around with the sander on the floor with some 80 grit and get the dried mud off that way rather than trying to scrape it all off on your hands and knees before installing your final floors

[@peterhunter1990]

What vacuum do you use?

[@enfelice]

My neighbour rented a drywall sander and sanded his deck with it. Still looks great 3 years later.

[@KRISTIANFIGUEROA123]

Jeff! I love that you laugh and chuckle over silly stuff (almost a nervous chuckle) several learning lessons with a chuckle is always nice! Thank you!

Seriously, you have great tips, but the vacuum drywall sander is my favorite. I went out and bought one and you are right, sanding is no longer a pain. Great tip!

Dude your videos are the best I renovated my entire condo watching your KZbin videos drywalls,bathrooms, tubs, tiling the floors etc. your the best bro keep up the good work. Im gonna build a house next 😂

[@natesewell9402]

Would you recommend the vacuum sander for already painted walls? background: really low quality, super flat contractor grade paint. They sprayed it on and did no post spray sanding. Every touch up that I've tried with the exact paint they used sticks out lik a sore thumb, and the paint isn't washable at all so any mark has to be retouched. I will need to repaint with decent paint, but I think I need to get this stuff sanded a bit or I'm doomed to failure. I'd love it if you told me I was wrong and could just go right over it and have good results, LOL, but would prefer the truth.

[@thesandman775]

Bought a much cheaper version of this by Wen for a nursery remodel that required skim coating the entirety of the walls. The powered sander with the vac was invaluable. The amount of dust that kept out of the room was a game changer

[@andreycham4797]

A brand new for $65 but with an electric cord

[@empressempirebullies5937]

From where what's model number

[@rhkcommander959]

Great video! Telescopic pole for the win, I used my paint poles with a sander adapter. I liked fine mesh tape versus traditional paper as it doesn't clog up. I have bad shoulders from overhead work so the pole works great. I don't trust myself with an orbital but I like the dust extraction idea. Maybe I'll strap my hand orbital and hose to the pole next time! I'd recommend a real dust mask or at least a t-shirt or bandana while you sand too, especially if the room is closed off.

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Cheers!

[@jasonhouk701]

You sir are the man. Thank you, and your videos are the best on drywall

[@dalesworld1308]

Those are also great with the coarse discs for removing peeling paint on old plaster. My 1800s house had quite a few rooms that I hand scraped down to base plaster. I bought a Porter Cable drywall sander and hepa vac at an estate sale and that eliminated the hand scraping.

[@cooltroop2]

Do I need to wear a respirator while sanding?

[@D-2456]

Absolutely, and he should have been wearing one.

[@gme10955]

The problem with most electric drywall sanders is, they're too heavy and like you said, you have to hold the handle somewhat parallel to the ceiling, which is hard on your body. There are however better options available. Both Mirka and Hilti make lighter weight electric sanders that have sanding heads that rotate 180⁰. Plus they are orbital sanders, so no swhirl marks.

[@Hooksblades]

Festool sticks to the ceiling

[@kklassen]

@@HooksbladesFestool’s Planex has an optional harness that makes sanding ceilings far easier.

[@andrometer2382]

For a couple grand the festool has so much suction you don’t have to hold it just drive no dust

[@peterhunter1990]

What is the best vacuum to use? I have seen videos of people taping the hose on because dewalt uses a proprietary sized hose?

[@calebmcneil185]

Use the strap it helps to counter balance the sander, making it so much easier to use for a large project.

[@amyfreeze9772]

Does it matter if it’s silicon carbide sandpaper or traditional for the radial sander? I’m sanding an already painted bedroom and repainting it. I know I’m supposed to use 120-150 grit but I don’t know if I’m supposed to get the silicon carbide mesh or just regular sandpaper. Which is better for my job?

Hi Jeff, I was hoping you'd answer a question I have! I also live in Canada and have purchased a very old home. I know you are in the same position, and I was wondering what sort of things you have done to mitigate the bugs? We have tons of maple bugs (or boxelder bugs) and also a winged bug with black and white dots that I have yet to identify. I was just wondering if you had any tips or tricks after years of living in an old home in Canada? Thanks so much for your time

Yes i do. remove the facade and install a house wrap and seal it with tape. Then install a new vinyl siding. open the walls from the inside and remove the insulation and vacuum out all the cavities and you will remove all the larva. that is the only thing that works, oh and seal with caulking every joint trim and gap under the walls.

[@demophys4883]

@@HomeRenoVisionDIY WAIT! Before the homeowner touches the texture, he MUST check it for asbestos. Ask me how I know. Many houses with that horrendous ceiling texture were built in the 70s or before, and asbestos in the joint compound was very common. Sanding it is the worst thing you can do. It needs professional removal.

[@allanmurphy7474]

Try it first, moisten the popcorn ceiling with a sprayer with water as it softens scrape it with a wide blade. Finish with a little mud and sand. In houses built before 1980’s assume there is asbestos and use protection

[@mikejawoski5904]

@@allanmurphy7474 was thinking about doing the wetting method. My house was built in 1982, so I think it should be free of asbestos

Yes, it can. Depending on the age, you might have to worry about asbestos. Using water and putty knives might be the safest bet, but if you're confident about not having asbestos, it can't hurt to try

Sorry for the ignorant question (I'm new to DIY), but would the battery-powered sander be appropriate/good/bad/overkill? to use to sand drywall between the first and second coats of paint?
