Drywall finishing trick- Reveal bead installation for flush baseboards

[@Maxkil]

The baseboards look so modern and different. I bet it feels good pulling that rope away. I'm looking forward to you pulling the bottom tear-away. See you next video!

[@PaulPeck]

Yeah Max, the flush baseboards look super sick in person!🔥 The homeowner is very pleased to say the least.👍🏻 He’s thinking about getting color changing LED lights for them.💡 Can’t wait to pull off that tear away! Haha...😂 Thanks for watching and commenting my friend! -Paul

[@brianowoseni5079]

For anyone wanting to do this, you can increase/decrease the height of the "baseboard" as well. I plan to do a 5 1/2" or 7 1/2" height in my house so it matches normal baseboard dimensions. To protect against dings and what not, just use wood instead of the backer board. Can't wait to do this in my future home.

Handyman here called Knockout out handyman service in chandler az. I'm a big fan of your channel and love this style base wish I could do it in my house unfortunately my house is mostly plaster

[@laszlobenedekct]

Nice work! I’m doing my own home in these days, planning to do the same baseboard system and I was trying to find out how to miter cut those beads. This video is the answer. Thanks to you!

[@Mudslingr]

Looks great Paul ! I started using foam backer rod instead of rope because it's much cheaper, lightweight and easier to clean.

[@PaulPeck]

I appreciate it Frank!👍🏻 That’s a great tip man!🔥 Thanks for stopping by my friend!😎 -Paul

[@johncaudle6703]

That product has not reached our area as far as being a regular or standard requirement but when it does people like you and others have given some great tips and advice so I feel like my homework is getting done .....lol, thanks for posting

[@petethehandyman9185]

That is so slick! Amazing craftsmanship,reminds me of old fashioned custom plaster work!

[@PaulPeck]

Thank you Pete!👍🏻 I know right! I’ll tell ya what, these flush baseboards are a lot of work for sure. I can’t imagine what the old school plasters went through back in the day...😅 Thanks for watching and commenting! -Paul

[@billysplinterbillysplinter7348]

Great channel, your very kind sharing your techniques of the trade. I’m a carpenter from the uk so when I did any patching after window installs etc, we mainly use gypsum finish plaster, and carlite bonding or browning as base coat. So I’m having to learn some new techniques no I live in North America. So thanks for the help

[@PaulPeck]

I appreciate the kind words Billy!👍🏻 I’m glad my videos can help you get familiar with our drywall techniques!🔥 Feel free to ask me any questions. Thanks so much for watching and subscribing!😎 -Paul

[@lestalkmorebasss]

This whole thing is awesome, especially the cement board base and I’d probably want to run led lights in that channel. Too bad Trim-Tex hasn’t yet made it to where I live…..

[@rayrobinson3015]

First time I've seen a video that really makes sense. Would like to do this in my house. Really looks great, and something that I know I can do know after watching this!

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

Never heard of this, or seen it, but it's probably more common where you are which I believe is in the east somewhere? Interesting, but not sure I'd go that route but it does look cool. Look forward to seeing some still of the finished painted walls in your next video? Or maybe you can post a pic or two in the community tab? Always something new to learn about. Catch you on the next video. I just finished uploading one last night that I'll release on Saturday am comparing the Level 5 mud box to hand finishing. Thanks Paul.

[@PaulPeck]

I hear ya Guy! The flush baseboard isn’t very well known here either. The homeowner had been in touch with several of the larger general contractors around around the area about starting a project like this. But, they couldn’t understand what these homeowners were even talking about! Haha...😂 I still have to do another coat on the flush base and then spray all of the walls with an orange peel texture before I can prime and paint.👍🏻 Cool. I can’t wait to see your next video! Thanks for stopping by man! -Paul

[@jarilatvalahti4275]

I'm a DIY'er and building my house. I want this shadow gap trimles look and this is the first how to -video / instruction 👌 I found that answers my questions on how I'll do this. Thank you!

[@kyleclemente5939]

I like the way you do your floor protection.. super tight. All seems taped intelligently.. how I operate also.

[@EspressoBreve]

Drywall to the floor, use Dado blade installed on circular saw following a leveled guide. This cuts a nice groove which you can then pop in your channel. Just ensure you have screws set near top and base of channel and you're golden.

[@ryanwiencken5679]

nice work. do you level 5 that or leave it up to the painter? The bullnose on the floor seems strange, what happens when flooring is added? also seems the dywall/base is more susceptible to damage and cracking, many callbacks? bravo good job thanks

[@mickeylegault4237]

Hey Contractor in canada Pretty freaken sick man. Brilliant! Thanks for the tips on this.

[@PaulPeck]

Right on Mickey!💥👊🏻 Thanks so much for watching and commenting my friend😎 -Paul

[@bryanlee3353]

Looks awesome!! Just wondering how you finished between the finished floor and the baseboard

[@bryanlee3353]

I’m trying to finish my place with no baseboards on hardwood... I just researched the video and you used super seal tear away. Is that something I could use on the drywall between the hardwood and drywall for a clean finish with no baseboards or reveal?

[@jackyrocket]

Thanks for posting this video Paul. I’m a realtor in Miami and these reveals are quite common in our market. I just completed my powder room myself using the 1 inch zip bead yet I’m questioning if I chose the right height. I guess it’s personal yet I’m curious to know the height that you used? I plan to install them throughout my apartment and I’d like to include them in the bathrooms as well, yet I hesitate to use them in the bathrooms in case there’s flooding. What are your thoughts? Thanks agin for posting!

[@madadamssable]

Thinking about adding it to my house

[@PaulPeck]

It’s a lot of work…😅 But it looks great!🔥😎 Here’s that condo finished: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnatYYCanZZ2adk -Paul

[@Stiv1962]

GC doing my own house like this but forgot the tearaway gasket. I am going to mask and pull it while mud is fresh..

[@almanages]

I'm doing a job like this in Whistler Canada soon. I been researching a lot and there are not too many video yet on youtube. thanks for posting, that is pretty awesome!!! if you have a chance I have a few questions: 1- have you tried caulking packing ropes instead of a rope regular rope? when you pack the rope in, does it stick proud a little making your first mud application thicker and kind of beveled or it stays in pretty flat inside? 2- I seen a lot of people gluing and stapling the Trim Tex. I assume the one you used are mud set? I am kind of afraid of stapling since the stapple may start to rust and bleed through at some point. have you heard of anything similar in your area? 3- I am also doing windows and doors with baseboards like yours. would you recommend using the F-Trim or the L trims for the doors and windows? I was thinking using the F-trim and sit it one a bead of latex caulk to stick them to the jams and around the windows. otherwise you always end up with an airline crack or worst if there is movement of the wood. it gets pretty cold in winter in Whistler and pretty hot in summer so I know the windows are going to move somewhat. any tips on that? 4- you used a fiberglass tape on the return of the trims. is this because it would crack under the mud or you are just playing safe? 5- Would you say it would be a better idea to prime and paint those trims before installing around windows with natural wood?

[@wilddave100]

Nice clean work.

[@PaulPeck]

I appreciate that Dave!👍🏻 Thanks so much for watching and subscribing man!😎 -Paul

[@johnnygthebarber6532]

Can you use this technique on floating basement walls?

[@robc2536]

#DrywallTube Looking good Paul. The rope trick looks like it saves a lot of time. I just finished skim coating my hall closet. It didn't come out perfect but nothing a little sanding can't fix. Thanks for all the tips and advice.

[@PaulPeck]

That’s awesome Rob!💥 I’m glad you skim coating went well! Yeah, that rope trick saves hours of work for sure!👍🏻 I appreciate your feedback and comment! Thanks for watching!😎 -Paul

[@leoziebol]

Beautiful! Novice question, How do you keep the mud from cracking if you’re only doing one thick coat?

[@LightGesture]

Definitely not 1 thick coat. The fortifier will help with it cracking. Also the mesh tape.

[@3dandyrandy3]

@ Hey Paul where you you clean all your rope and all you drywall tools at?? 10 floors down??

[@onetruesoldiervt3686]

only problem is what about when they get hit there will be dents and alot of patching unless you have solid wood as the baseboard

[@kevinnguyen5002]

did you only put one layer of mud? or did you do three different layers and treat the reveal bread as you were mudding and taping?

[@jarilatvalahti4275]

Hello again! May I ask how does the paint stick stick to these Trimtex beads?

[@CG-ou9rj]

So floors are already done?

[@PaulPeck]

Yes!✅😅

[@kyleclemente5939]

Why use tile backer board on the bottom course instead of drywall?

[@kyleclemente5939]

Ahh, duh,, it's more durable

[@john.french]

Awesome video and cool tricks! This looks like quite the reno project! How long will it take you guys? Hardcore DIYer. #drywalltube

[@PaulPeck]

Hey John, I appreciate it man!👍🏻 Yes it is. This is about a 3 month project...😅 I really appreciate the feedback. Thanks so much for watching! -Paul

[@elcalentano1971]

The top bead is a contro joint bead and on the bottom is a zip bead

[@edwinjiguan7946]

So my general contractor saw this video, now I'm in a trouble. He wants this in his project

[@johnhamilton9229]

#drywalltube thank you Paul. Enjoy watching your skills and learning new techniques for a diy guy.

[@casade2831]

#drywalltube 👏👏Hey Paul, what is the name of the bottom trim? You are using two plastic ones, but the one that touches the floor. What is the name of that one?? Tell me please! 🙌 Anybody #drywalltube !

[@teh60]

#DrywallTube. Looks great, love that rope trick.

[@PaulPeck]

Thank you TEH!👍🏻 the rope trick really is a huge time saver no doubt. And it’s pretty gratifying to pull the rope and watch the clean lines appear!💥 I appreciate you watching and commenting!👊🏻 -Paul

[@wouterslagter9946]

very shaky video. take it easy and keep camera quiet so I can watch it properly

[@philipperiondel3093]

The video is too nervous and flies too quickly. One don't have time to really watch details. I would suggest to show less, but show better. No one needs to see all of the walls. That said, its'a pretty good job. I am a DIYer, and am about drywalling with such reveals. I ordered Z profiled beads from Trim-Tex that I am waiting for. It should allow to stop drywalls in a neat way at 5" from the bottom. Then, once the drywalls done, I just will have to install 4-1/2" baseboards of the same thickness as my drywall in the empty space to have 1/2" reveals and flush baseboards.
