Figures sparky puts the pots in before I even have it primed ;)

I'd like to express my gratitude for inspiring me into this trade. During last 3 years I was doing small renovation jobs and that's where I tried to tape for the first time. I found this youtube channel and went through all the videos probably 2-3 times. So recently I made a decision to sign in to the taper's union and start my apprenticeship. Union rep. looked at the pictures of jobs I've done and said that I don't need to go to school for 8 weeks, I have to go directly to the job site. All this happened thanks to Ray and his proffesionalism. From Toronto, Canada, ukrainian-canadian, with regards, Igor.

I learned to use quickset to fix water damage quickly. My greatest accomplishment. Is learning how to use a hawk and trowel. My latest plaster job has flat walls after 6 coats but the trowel made it so much easier to make flat. Let the trowel tell you what it needs, when your getting lines it’s not flat!

[@adamwise1790]

If I could learn how not to get mudd all over me and dust everywhere from sanding I’ll be good

[@danielmarquardt4341]

The floors are done before prime and paint because the floor refinishing leaves dust on all surfaces no matter what - you'll never get the surfaces looking mint trying to clean fine refinishing dust on it - not to mention shoe moulding is typically removed during refinishing - you wouldnt want to paint all the trim before the floor is done

Here’s what I do. I go down and get a medium grit angled sand sponge, l rub my thumb across it and make sure I don’t rub any grit off it. I soak it in water and break it in by sanding all the hot mud residue in my pan and tools. That one stays soaked in my cleaning bucket. I mix my 5 min hot mud put it on a curved drywall trowel and clean my pan. I trowel around the patch and leave a sweet tapered edge around the patch and build up a little mud on the inside. I wait for the “sweet” time and use the backside of my trowel and shave the patch down to where it’s good and reasonably flat. I use my sand sponge and a spray bottle, spray it sand it knife it and done. 30 min or less.

Lol “After all’s said and done, there’s usually a lot more said than done”😂 You’re the best man and I credit you to teaching me a lot of drywall tricks that have saved my ass over the years. God bless

[@danielmarquardt4341]

I've used a heat gun before, I always hold it directly. Putting it on a zipwall stick is a Good idea but it also looks like a sure way to start a fire when it goes wrong

[@jimurrata6785]

They left you that f**** fan to deal with when the whole rest of the room is stripped out??? I know you're the king but people should be more respectful.

[@andrewcarr2431]

more likely sparky or builder "forgot" to remove one can light or even planned for it then the home owner changed their mind? Still crappy to dump it on the drywall contractor then the room is ready to paint.

[@EricBanner571]

I do a lot of one day repair, patch and paint using the same technique. It may look good today but come back in a couple of days and often you will find that the outline of the repaired patch has shrunk. Even using 5 minute mud, if that pre filled section has not 100% dried out before applying the next coat, shrinkage will most likely occur. You could see the wet ring was still there even when you applied the last coat. I generally spend extra time with a heat gun drying that first coat before applying the next coat. If it's a bigger patch, I will always come back the next day to sand and paint.

[@THEDRYWALLDOCTOR1]

I hate delayed shrinkage, I like to sand the next day too, but I Guarantee I will be back there doing other pick up work and I can look at it then

[@gregnixon5770]

I hate delayed shrinkage... that's what she said

I’m no pro, but I was thinking this could happen. Still a useful technique though

Hope you don't have silicosis

I watch many of your videos and I have a question not related to this video. Can you answer me this. I’m so use use to hand finish everything I’m assuming that now where jobs are all done with mudding and taping tools that they use a lot less mud. Just seen a job and all inside corners seem lightly coated and factory tapered seams undercoated and the finished product has the shoulder of the board visible showing after being sanded. It looks flush but I’m so use to having the feathered finish covering that part of the board. They didn’t do this on the ceilings but the walls have this. Butt seams seem ok just not as wide as I’m use to either

[@THEDRYWALLDOCTOR1]

There is a difference between smooth wall and flat wall. Most hand finishers are flat wall finishers and tool finishers are smooth wall. Flat wall pays more and smooth wall is better for production.

[@rotaxrider]

@@THEDRYWALLDOCTOR1 Will it make a huge difference in the finished painted product?

[@THEDRYWALLDOCTOR1]

Only if painting with a gloss paint and Only huge if it's high gloss.

[@Waltwizzle]

Use a sponge 🧽 to feather and wipe with 5 minute mud

[@ballgms308]

I’ve heard quickset always messes up when painted same day, even when letting dry in between coats. Something about the moisture not being pulled all the way out I haven’t had any issues personally but apparently it happens a few days later

[@THEDRYWALLDOCTOR1]

I've never had a problem.

[@andrewcarr2431]

good quality primer (Bullseye 123 or similar), not that cheap stuff from the store with the orange logo...

[@kirkdunn1379]

Been using the hair dryer trick for along time now....or space heater with fan behind it....rapid set muds set up quick but don't completely dry that fast Plus they are plaster product more than a gypsum I believe

[@andrewcarr2431]

awesome video and great tip from Mud Man Dan. "I know it looks bigger than that", I haven't used that line in a long time 😀

[@mr.kenslifeshop4034]

I have been doing this for years with a wooden contraption that I've made that doesn't have to touch the ceiling but that is a pretty slick idea it'd be a lot easier to carry that things than the thing I made which looks like a odd looking tripod

[@poofypoopy8838]

I work at a hotel and besides a heat gun we use a blow dryer and floor blower. All work well!!
