DRYWALL FINISHING TIPS AND TRICKS THAT YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT!

[@meagain6028]

Great video, Vince!!!! This coming from a 30 year veteran of finishing drywall. Pre-filling gaps in seams ahead of time IS crucial. Critique? 2 of them (you knew it was coming) 1. Instead of "dry" running over screws, i always had the mud going. Find a flaw? Correct it while mudding using the techniques demonstrated here. 2. Remove that god-awful sticker from the side of that mud pan!!! LOL! Hyde, I've found, have the best 6" knives with the slightly rounded BRASS-headed handle. Steel can gouge and form edges that could cut the user. Just a heads up to those ppl who may be rushing out to get a finishing knife with any metal-tipped handle. Thanks for the video and God bless! 😁

[@VCGConstruction]

Thanks me again!!

[@MostlyPeacefulCombatVet]

You da man @me again Same way I've come to do my muddin'. Also any major gaps like the one showed at the beginning, or any outrageous corners get filled and or skimmed before laying the tape and corners. Makes for a quick and painless tape job. 👍 and VCG you're a beast!

[@meagain6028]

@@MostlyPeacefulCombatVet A brass- headed handle is also great for circling/marking flaws in the dried mud work. You probably already know that, though. 🍺

Amazing Video! As a former GC and teacher I always tell my people be nice to the trade that follows you and ask questions on how you can set them up to make their job easier. The number one thing that I’m always on at newbie’s to do is keep your work area clean. It stops you from loosing tools in garbage and allows finishers a better/easier environment to their work in.

Hey Vince! Ryobi guy here again reppin green team. I hang/finish drywall 8 days a week, use the new brushless makita drywall screw gun with the push drive feature, and a makita impact driver to remove any misses or get in to corners / angles that the countersink collar on the screw gun can not get into all the way. Always wack the open holes left from misses with a ballpeen hamner, or butt of the knife as you showed, so the perforated edges dont require 3 freakin coats to make em vanish. However, my pro tip, humble as it is, Using a ryobi 18v 3/8 stapler to tack up Quarter bead. Learned it from working with a guy whos probably the fastest/tightest/ hanger, finisher I've met. Couple weeks ago we hung 2 rooms, two closets, a small hallway and partition, 38 sheets, to code, in 6 hours. Just him and I, and im definitely not a record beater in that field, but he showed me that trick. Staples grab the meat of the hung rock corners, and the ryobi staple gun adjusts easily to sink them in a little more so theres no need to sit there screwing off. I know somebodys probably like,' what about the bead crimper that affixes corner beads in place by pressing divets off the bead into the rock?' Well, in short, they fail over time. Getting bumped, knocked, or normal wear and tear over time will def separate the bond, so theyll be there, but split seams will eventually pop up behind them, and or loosening that will lead to a crack right behind the bead.

[@adamsarrazin3102]

I am hoping/requesting you guys do a show comparing all the new drywall screw guns, because I've noticed pretty much all the big name brands have put out newer models, with new features, From Makita and Milwaukee to Ridgid and Ryobi. ( Not sure if dewalts upgraded their gun to a newer model with push drive like the others), is the Milwaukee better than the makita? Is the ridgid official? Is the ryobi worth the 100 bucks for a homeowner/small project

[@JackMallory72]

Been a finisher for 25 yrs. Chip and fill is definitely important. I prefer stainless knives, they last longer and don't rust. Set screws with a screwdriver, doesn't screw up the paper or pop later. Also, a finisher coats rows of screws, not individuals and will pull the fill tight. Apparently Vince likes to sand... 😜

[@LegendMuscle]

thank-you, after 3 generations of passing down knives, finally bought myself an entire set of Hyde flexible stainless steel 1-12" and cant be any happier. appreciate the tip, learned this one early on when finishing and not being able to find a hammer around, using the rear of the knife and splitting it in 2 using the cheap rubber or plastic handle, NOT full tang ones.. whole world of a difference

[@stevea.8816]

Doing mostly remodeling and repairs now, l tape my own patches and small rooms but l am not going to break any speed records so bigger things l sub, one guy put dishwashing soap in the mud and man he got a hell of a finish.

[@sugarbooty]

This is a great tip, I hate how the back of the handle gets all gouged from screws and nails. I just want it to look like new, it takes at least two hour to clean all my tools but they still don't look new, just refurbished, and poorly at that because of the large amount of effort that goes into cleanup and me getting numb hands. I'll try and apply this next time I'm doing drywall work (which is constantly, Im never happy with my house and just keep making new walls and tearing down existing ones)

Work at an apartment complex, and do drywall repairs sometimes. Always kept trying to re sink them in, or sometimes had to leave as is . This is very helpful thank you. 🤯

[@timsimmons9042]

As a former finisher, another tip when it comes to ones knives is I’d tell all newcomers to make a mark in the handle and this mark ALWAYS faces the wall. Ensures a proper break in which can take a while depending on size of and material the blade is made from. Always hated breaking in a new knife, lol. Another fun video, Vince. Appreciate you all. Stay safe.

[@VCGConstruction]

Thank Tim we appreciate the feedback!!

[@jasonswoger410]

Not a fan of the S blade lol Good idea. I must look at my knife 50 time a day to 9 sure I'm holding them right

[@timsimmons9042]

Agreed, Jason. At some point one can just tell by feel of blade on wall or looking at blade but the mark was how I was taught when I first started. It’s a tried and true method. I steered clear of the stainless blades. Plain old high carbon steel in my “6 and down (I hardly used a 6” preferring a 5 and sometimes 4”) and I used the blue steel on 8”s and above. End of day, wash with brush and water in 5 gallon bucket, spray them with Wd and let em air dry over night. They lasted a long, long time. Much luck in your endeavors. Stay safe

[@lewisgibson1317]

Yep, that's a good tip, I always mark the handle and use only side for better break in, and never use stainless knifes are to stiff.

[@shawnstone8924]

I sand new knives edges. Not too hard, just enough to take the burrs out and any imperfection on the edges

[@alvarosolano6569]

Thank you for sharing your skills god bless your heart an take care

[@EhurtAfy]

Love the video! I am one of those drywall finishers/repairsmen that knew this stuff, but excellent guide for those who don't know this stuff. I live in a very DIY'er area and may pass the video on to people. I use some Kraft brand stainless steel taping knives not found at Home Depot / Lowe's. The tool is just one solid piece of metal, no separation between the handle and blade. The knives don't rust or corrode and clean up is a breeze. 👍

[@jamesporter9270]

Great choice in tool, I use the Kraft brand as well but solid stainless steel with the orange and black rubber grips

[@humanofearth7524]

Thanks! Just finished drywalling my shed, about to get into taping and muddling.

[@Superdan187211]

I'm a commercial Carpenter. Some of our finishers put a couple drops of Dawn dish soap in the mud before they mix it up. They say it helps reduce the little bubbles and makes for a smoother finish.

[@VCGConstruction]

Never tried that, guess the guys around here didn’t want to share every secret!! 🤣🤣

[@willw.birnie8446]

Superdan187211, we do that with mortar as well, the soap acts as a plasticiser. Makes the mixture more workable and due the water retaining properties, less likely to hair line crack upon drying. Great videos, just rang the bell.

[@jonathanjones770]

I've also seen liquid laundry detergent from time to time over the years

[@calvinleonard3667]

Real talk, I do this. Only downside I've found is that mud spoils alot faster. Just something to consider

[@MaRlBoRoMaNkHuNRoBbYKaP]

clear dish soap is old school but its used because they have a hard time getting there consistency right if your using boxes ect it helps too but bubbles come from your mixture and moving to fast slow it down

[@nik-minnit4375]

All the people saying the video should have been 2-3 minutes, I think the video was a bit long but he explains a lot which I managed to follow. As a carpentry apprentice watching these videos is really helpful to me, no matter the length. If it suit you it suits you, if it doesn’t, it doesn’t. Great video man!

[@ThisOldMan-ya472]

For residential jobs, three things work best for me: 1) tapered blade, Richard, 2) fill and scrape instead of sanding and 3) use only taping mud for finishing, as finishing mud works great but leaves a soft base for paint which dents and chips easy. Last thing I want is an unhappy client, so the finished job should look great for years, not months.

[@nspetlover]

what kind of taping mud do you recommend?

[@ThisOldMan-ya472]

@@nspetlover I have used various types and it seems each pre-mix box has different consistencies, so I will change brands if I can. I rather get stiffer mud and thin it, than get wetter mud, which one would have to add powder to thicken.

When I’m first coating my screws I’ll carry around a screwdriver to get the clickers. Some tapers smash them in but then it takes away the hold from that screw.

[@carlpledger8719]

That's the way!

[@northpolltv6598]

Exactly. It ruins the paper and crumbles the drywall. The hammer end of some knives is for use on drywall ring nails, not screws. And this video is actually a good illustration of why a person should NOT hammer screws. It took him about 8 hard whacks to get the screw embedded deep enough, when one turn of a screwdriver would have done it better and quietly.

[@dragonmaker1541]

Technically if you RIP the top paper ( too deep) the hold is comprised. We would typically remove it and try again.

[@tophercline1]

@@northpolltv6598 the screw wasn't in the stud so turning it wouldn't do anything you have to get it out or hammer in. Most guy don't waste time trying to unscrew it so they just hammer it. It's quantity not quality anymore.

Following a McDonald’s sausage and biscuit breakfast (to coax me out of bed at 4am), my dad would drive 12yo me down in his old, dusty Blazer to the job site on some weekends when he needed to work. I would spot nails and run corners for him. I learned exactly these things by watching him. Didn’t use a screw gun, just a good quality knife with brass-end handle. When I saw the knives in this video, I immediately knew what this was going to be about. Didn’t really realize those were some real pro tips until now. Thanks dad LOL

[@melanierobson3336]

Another tip, if you haven't discovered it already, is to slightly sand the sharp corner edges of the blade so that when you're applying pressure you don't accidentally scrape and mar the surface paper, or leave sharp scrape marks in your mud. I worked with some drywallers too and learned some tips from them, including this one. My own tip, if you should find yourself without a decent knife like if you're pre-prepping and your stuff is in the truck and you don't want to do the walk up and down the stairs just yet lol, a sturdy plastic screwdriver handle works nicely too.

[@ashleyyoung9382]

Lol what? I only subscribed because of his personality. Plus there's the awesome production value of diy videos that aren't filmed portrait on a flip phone.

Not everyone can customize their personality for money. People are who they are, this guy is charismatic.

[@snugglyjeff214]

Union guys are almost always useless. Break them up so they aren't standing around huddled up with a coffee in their hand.

You are one cool Cat! Apprentices will not fall a sleep the way you teach or coach whatever way you want to call it. Your keeping there eyes on the PRIZE, way to go. Great video

Carry a 5 in 1 for the dirty work. No use in dinging the edge of a stainless knife over a screw set.
