Awesomeness Tysm!

[@DIYeasycrafts]

I'm glad you like it

[@rachelannfox]

@@DIYeasycrafts worked like a charm, flat patch on the first try. Doesn’t look as good as your work but still for me, is miraculous! IMO this is much like art or painting, your expertise requires unique talent and skilled with the hands in my opinion & not everyone can do it. Appreciate your help in explaining it so well, found it very valuable! Also if you did the video on wet sanding, helped make it much easier than the sanding process.

[@Ifeanyi736]

Wow....! This is perfect from my view. What's sparkle? Any other name for it? Just wondering what thats called in Canada..can i get that at home depot? Thanks a lot.

[@CruceEntertainment]

Spackle is the putty that you spread and it dries and you sand it smooth

[@SR-ne2mh]

what about the damaged wood? it appears this just fixed the superficial but if there was water damaged it should of had been broken into to see where inside the water also damaged

[@jennifercallei8709]

I hope INSIDE the cieling was dried properly from water damage. This is the issue now a days that create mold especially with the cheaper materials mold and moisture feed on.

[@bludika]

I had a small wet area in the ceiling, but the drywall still seems solid, is it okay to just scrape, patch and prime and paint IF i let it fully dry? I also plan to use those mold blocking/stain covering primer too

[@jadalee6508]

Agreed and then the whole house is infested from the spores.

[@LadyWriter1968]

I will have to get repairs contractors to check mine in New Year from my Land Lord. I think I have a damp patch. I could not do this myself. We live in a flat and have a resident living above us..I am not even sure if its damp as have no experience or knowledge with this sorta thing..

[@luannamahan6167]

Mold!!!!

[@glenngreen3302]

Should wear a mask 😷

[@darlenewhite8622]

Don't he suppose to have a dust mask when sanding?

[@bail3yb]

😆😆 if you don’t want it in your mouth and eyes then yeah, definitely would want to cover your face. I don’t think OSHA is gonna show up to your house though 🤪😉

[@bludika]

lol….

[@TrumannFenley]

no mask?? either way this was a great video, thank you

[@DIYeasycrafts]

Thanks for watching!

[@dsy0012]

We’re you concerned about mold at all

[@sheduntno]

Its actually a great quick temp fix until you can get a pro in. As far as mold goes, you just set up a dehumidifier for a day after you open it up to really dry it out. You can always spray it with some simple green before you tape and spackle if concerned. That will retard mold growth for awhile.

[@sandsmarc]

This is absolutely wrong for so many reasons. You do not leave water impregnated sheetrock up. You remove every area that is stained. There are a hundred competent videos on repairing water damaged areas of sheetrock. THIS IS NOT ONE OF THEM!

[@bludika]

He’s so messed up lol

[@trevinrekve5569]

You jealous his product looks good at the end and saved more money than you? Looks like someone’s smarter and your feelings got hurt.

[@loveormoney786]

You sound like an overcharging repairman.

[@Aljeron100]

​@@trevinrekve5569Wouldn't water damaged be susceptible to mold? Why risk it?

[@SailfishSoundSystem]

I scored some Russian titanium from a submarine for my ceiling. Why are you wasting time with this?

[@elianejean-baptiste5005]

Nicely done

[@DIYeasycrafts]

Thank you! Cheers!
