Drywall Taping Angles With A Compound Tube

Angles can be taped easily with a compound tube and do not need a roller to set the tape.

[@curtwehrmeyer124]

I bought the same Can Am and I get the same results in the Northern part of Wisconsin! It works great and I got it from your videos so I thank you. Cheers to the MudSlinger!! A little Iron Maiden goes a long way when doing this kind of work.

[@mgrantom]

Wow! Love watching someone that really knows their craft! Thanks for sharing!

[@gme10955]

I got rid of my corner roller years ago when I bought the Better Than Ever corner tools. The 2" flusher works fine for bedding and glazing the angles

[@lefyre1266]

Just when I think I've seen every method, I get surprised again. Very Interesting idea, I'm always looking to improve the quality of my corners. Have another house to tape in 2 days, Im a supertaper(small job) and bazooka(largejob) guy, but will clean cobwebs off tube and applicator and give it a try.

[@Mudslingr]

Give it a go. Just remember not to press too hard with the tube. After all you can only set the tape so far. Hardest part is figuring out how much mud to put on top. A little practice.

[@VidzMisc]

thanks for the demonstration, i am now considering investing

[@jonathangiraldo2148]

Thank you for keeping the trade alive.

[@Ocanadakiter]

Thanks. .yeaa new to me use to rock the super taper before...Guess i will just keep on practicing. . cheers and Merry Christmas from vancouver island. .

[@jonathanwise4252]

Thank u mud slingr. U helped alot.took wheels off..i think it just needed broke in.likeany auto toos..now I can feel it float..taping angles with flushers works perfect..still learning to second coat with flusher tho

[@Mudslingr]

Jonathan wise I'm happy it is working for you. Good stuff !

[@Ocanadakiter]

Great video as always ..I'm going to try this way next time.

[@MarvelSnap59]

I tested your technique which works well but once dry, did you finally iron it wider for the finish?

[@Mudslingr]

Yes. This was a 2" flusher. When it's dry at some point of my routine I will put on a finish coat with a 3" which covers the 2" edge. That video will be coming up in a few days. It's usually the last step of my routine.

[@MarvelSnap59]

@@Mudslingr Thanks👍

[@Ocanadakiter]

Thanks ..yea probably going to go that route. cheers from van island.

[@bobs6129]

ah that saves so much time not using a roller and using the angle applicator thanks brother

[@Mudslingr]

You're welcome !

[@mtec8743]

thats the shiz keep the videos coming. trooper is the song

[@bysdto]

Where can one purchase this tube and corner application and do you also have a tool that does the flat surface taping? Thanks

[@Mudslingr]

All-Wall is a great place to get tools. They are very helpful. Look here. www.all-wall.com/Categories/Compound-Applicators/

[@user-ti2vw3oo5o]

Good tips.

[@tygr7003]

hi, im wondering why you choose to do it this way rather than useing a roller. I can clearly see that it works, but its still the same number of steps and in the end uses a little more mud. do you find it gives you a knowtessly better finish, or is it simply to avoid having to carry a roller?

[@Mudslingr]

Sometimes a roller will squeeze the mud out too far or not enough depending on the angle. By embedding and adding mud to it with the tube I am guaranteed a filled and feathered finish.

[@jonathanwise4252]

Does the bte and Columbia 4 wheel inside applicator only run mud out 1" lime the can am?I kno the plastic tapepro and tapetech are wider

[@Mudslingr]

I could not tell you that because I have never tried BTE or Columbia applicators. I take off the wheels on my Can-Am. I like to feel the head float on the mud. Let's me know better how much I am applying.

[@rzbanshee350]

hi,how much water are you add roughly to a bucket of mud?are you using a full compound tube of water to mix your mud roughly? thanks

[@Mudslingr]

[@jonathanwise4252]

Does can am applicator run both ways?I have mud start spilling every so often..builds up behind applicator. Am I pushing 2 hard

[@Mudslingr]

Have to run it a little slower and lighter touch so you don't squish it out while running backwards. Like you have figured out, just a little practice. I only run it backwards on stand ups. Not always neatly. Too messy on upper angles to run backwards.

[@puttyman.paintpark]

대단한 영상 입니다! 감사합니다! 👍

[@jonathanwise4252]

Do u use plastic angle applicator?Like tapetech? I wonder if they run mud wider than can am metal ones

[@Mudslingr]

I only have Can-Am applicators. I flush my tape with a 2" and finish with a 3".

[@dominicbernardo]

Innovation is for the brave! I like it keep it up

[@king9968]

Oh Great Slingr of the mud couple questions bout the tube system do you do your upright angles and let them dry then the top angles ive been having issues with the tape folding over in the three ways when flushing also I use dura bond most of the time should I wait til im on second coat or just run my angles through the mesh? great vids love the one with the tunes.

[@Mudslingr]

I like to do the stand ups all the way around first. I'll give the tops a wipe after I do a room. Then I'll start the top angles where I started stand ups first. They should be dry enough not to snag since I've wiped them already. But if you only have a room or two there isn't much drying time. Don't flush all the way into the three way. Stay a flusher head away from the three way. You have to clean it up after anyway. Thanks !

[@king9968]

kewl that makes perfect sense ill give that a try tomorrow Thanks!

[@mwj5150]

Mud Slingr when you do your 3 ways are you only costing one side of each joint? Meaning the flusher isn’t going tight into the corner. Great vids.!

[@vyaterminaciones]

Wow!!! Nice job!!! Thank you !!

[@jonathanwise4252]

I have bte inside corner applicator 4 wheel.it don't glide smooth and mud spills over the edges.advice?

[@Mudslingr]

I like to take my wheels off. This way I can feel the head float on the mud which let's me know how much mud I'm applying. It's all in the speed and pressure.

[@frankvoge1610]

No wheels at all? I have a 4 wheel and found it applies too much mud.

[@kevinwhite3788]

Hey mud slingr great video! what angle applicator do you use? I been running the bte with the 4 wheels and I can't get it to run a clean consistent bead of mud in my corners.

[@Mudslingr]

I have the CanAm applicator with two wheels. I have a four wheeled but take two of them off. Works well without wheels also I find.

[@robbob4872]

what about the globs you left where the tape meets the ceiling? You still have to go back and clean them up...

[@Mudslingr]

You mean the 3 ways in the closet ? Yes.

[@riderrrr206]

Great technique Mud Slingr. I have tried it and it works great. I just had a question for the second coat. When I use the tube to apply the mud for the 2nd coat, the applicator drags and does not move easily. do you know why? it is a Columbia applicator. Thanks.

[@Mudslingr]

Are you getting enough mud on to flush it out properly ? If so , you may have to live with the drag. But I bet it's because your flusher is new ? Work it in a bit. It will get smoother. I prefer two top wheels if any. And I like to feel my tube riding on a bed of mud which slides real nice. Just a matter of speed and pressure of the mud coming out. I'm sure you realize you don't have to push hard into the corner with the tube.

[@riderrrr206]

+Mud Slingr thanks for your reply. First coat it is very smooth and flushes really nice. But second coat, the applicator doesn't slide. I see your point that the applicator has to slide on the mud. I am not feeling that. How can I get it to slide on the mud? my applicator is 4 wheeler and second coat leaves black mark on the corner since it has a black coating of paint.

[@Mudslingr]

Take your bottom wheels off. That should make the difference. All wheels off is good too but you have to really watch how much pressure you apply or else you end up squishing the mud too wide and end up with ridges. Sounds like you got it though.

[@riderrrr206]

+Mud Slingr thanks..will give it try!

[@BushmanCanuck]

I've never seen you wet tape with for example a super taper. Why do you prefer dry tapeing?

[@Mudslingr]

I prefer an auto taper actually, but only on larger residential jobs. I also prefer dry taping over a supertaper or a shitbox. A little slower but much cleaner. And it works very well.

[@BushmanCanuck]

+Mud Slingr I see its very clean, and you have it dialed in. Is it how you originally learned?

[@Mudslingr]

Auto tools originally. When I went on my own I saw a really tall dude using a tube even though he could have taped an 8' ceiling off his knees. Threw my shitbox away and never looked back. Haven't used a roller with this system in about 17-18 years

[@ray650420]

good tip, thanks

[@laurentaouate3114]

HI. That's interesting. I discovered your videos recently and i can learn a lot from seeing you in action. Thanks for that. What is the brand and size (length and width) of your trowel in others videos ?

[@Mudslingr]

I use only flat Marshalltown trowels that are approximately 11" x 4-1/2".

[@laurentaouate3114]

thanks. Appreciated

[@nathanielmccoy6384]

Pretty cool tool but don't see the use in it if you know how to run a bazooka cause it's twice as fast unless it's a small job and not worth getting a bazooka all dirty .

[@Ocanadakiter]

i cant afford a angle box at the moment so i better get more practice at this.Going to buy a set up sooon.

[@Mudslingr]

Doing angles with a tube works just as well as an angle box.

[@Ocanadakiter]

How thin should my mud be ?Thanks Ryan. .

[@Mudslingr]

Best way to describe it is like pancake batter. Quite thin. If you're pushing too hard with your flusher or not filling properly thin it out some more.

[@Ocanadakiter]

Ok thanks think i made it a bit thick today lots of excess mud and tapes didn't look beautiful. Also got a few small wrinkles. Was using flusher head with wheel.Not sure if i like using it...😂

[@Mudslingr]

When applying the mud with the tube I like to feel the head float on the mud as I fill. Don't want it to touch the wall. Keeps from taking mud off the angle and leaves just the right amount. The fill on top of the tape is more important. Just takes practice.

[@austincheramie]

What size tube is that? your awsome , speed and quality of work is amazing

[@Mudslingr]

Thanks. It's a 42" tube. I also have a 24" that is great for tight areas.

[@austincheramie]

thank you

[@jhz3417]

What flusher do you use great job

[@Mudslingr]

I use a 2" CanAm for taping and a 3" for finish.
