Thanks so much ! I wish i had your skills i gave it a try and did a fair job in my closet. Lol but im certainly no Paul! 😁 thanks for the tips ! Xo

[@PENFOLD1962]

Nice very nice, you should take this up as a career, only joking my friend. You know a bloke is good at his job when he makes it look so easy. I used to use a Hawk and Plastering floating/Trowel. After a major heart attack, both hip's and shoulders replaced I can't do it now. The kitchen ceiling came down just after Christmas and all the mates who are plasterers have either moved on or not in the plasterers gang anymore! Friggin typical eh lol.

[@kiasmine]

dude, you're good. real good

[@hardcardcollector1133]

Came here from Roger Wakefield's channel, nice vids keep it up👍

[@audrastraw6638]

That was impressive! We are redoing our kitchen, so I'm here watching these diy videos. Is there a world record for fastest mudding? Cause I think you could win!

[@xephael3485]

Garage ceiling, I wouldn't even bother mudding and taping it unless I was getting fancy and doing epoxy floors 😂👍

I started my drywalling in my basement wall, it suppose to dropp ceiling but we have extra drywall so we decided to use it on ceiling, is it still gonna be ok cause I've read that ceiling first before sidewall, thanks in advance

[@1ReviewGuy]

Hi great video...I have a question. I move into my new home next Tuesday 6/30 and it has a unfinished garage, so I'm going to prime, texture, and then paint. However the ceilings are 9' ft tall can I spray the texture from the ground? Do I need to turn up air pressure, or do I need to stand on a ladder and continously move it? Also, I'm doing knockdown texture on walls and ceiling and bought bags of Blue Line II is this the right stuff or should I get something else?

[@chachaalston1698]

Awesome!

[@robc2536]

I've got to repair some ceiling cracks at my Dad's house. Would fibafuse be a better choice than paper tape? Does fibafuse have to be bedded in hot mud or can you use all purpose? Thanks.

[@PaulPeck]

Hey there Rob!💥👊🏻 Yes definitely use The FibaFuse for sure. It can be used with premixed joint compound or setting type compound. Actually, FibaFuse has a new tape called FibaFuse Max that is made for cracks. You might have to order it on Amazon because none of the big box stores has it in my area. I hope this helps.👍🏻 -Paul

[@miriamtaylor4405]

What if I can't reach the ceiling lol.

[@kimmay3774]

Great work but you must do something about the GoPro! I felt drunk after watching

[@Tayman47]

the GoPro angle was great, there isn't really a better way to go about filming it.

This is for me a beginner I so stink at neat and clean work! My wife calls me a beast! I'm better at screwing in the board tapinging and finish not so good! Thanks again Paul for all you do for your community 🤝

🔥🔥🔥 Excellent video, explained perfectly. This is exactly what I need to learn right now and can't wait for the butt joint video Thanks Paul👊

[@PaulPeck]

Hey Chris!💥👊🏻 I really appreciate your feedback man! I’m working on that butt joint video as we speak! 😎 -Paul

[@ConstructionKronies]

@@PaulPeck Sweet dude, then I need a corner video!! Do you have one that you have already done?

[@stockonlive2208]

Fibafuse is best in a auto taper not good for dry tapeing. Puts fibas in the air. Also you don't need hot mud with fibafuse. Lol just all purpose

[@JQUICK21]

I"m watching this to see how the ceiling studs look because I am installing a new dining room light fixture and I cannot find the studs!...I removed the old fixture and that leaves about a four or five inch whole in the drywall....sticking a 10" long screwdriver up in there in all directions I cannot contact or feel a stud anywhere!...so frustrating! I tried to use magnets but the drywall is 3/4" thick and that did not work and my cheap stud finder is worthless.....the NEW fixture is a stained wooden box 6 inches wide by about 3 feet long and four or five inches deep with light bulbs hanging down under the box a bit.....

[@-clif1987]

This is so weird. It’s a drywall video. Get a ladder.

[@NRB_75]

Advice... I wet down a batroom ceiling to remove popcorn and got into drywall and tape on edges. Can you skim coat over entire ceiling and use mud to do a knock down?

[@chriskeel3096]

nice trick. id probably use an 8 to wipe with personally, but yeah

[@santiagodominguez2522]

Can apply Skim coating Overtop of panels 1/4 inch thick plywood you think will stick to it

[@PaulPeck]

I’ve done it before...😇 For best adhesion, use all purpose joint compound because it has the most glue in it. Also, the joint compound will most likely yellow once it’s dry because of the tannins in the plywood. Prime with an oil base stain blocking primer and top coat with your favorite paint.👍🏻 -Paul

Why do you not leave any skim of mid on paper tape?

[@ednagale]

Great video as usual. I like to use FibaFuse also for repairs. As you unroll the roll of tape, does the fiberglass not get in your fingers? This is my only complaint about FibaFuse. I just try to remember to wear a glove on my left hand that I use to unroll.

[@PaulPeck]

I appreciate that Earl!💥👊🏻 Yes it can be a bit itchy but it doesn’t really stick in my fingers. Thanks for watching and commenting man!😎 -Paul

[@JDlupin]

Is he a giant or is he levitating

[@Погонщикконтуженныхтролей]

Contractor here. I believe this "FiberFuse" tape is the third best invention after food and sex - it doesn't allow air bubbles to form, it's much stronger than paper and unlike paper it doesn't have sharp edges so it blends much better, and it's under $5 in big boxes. The only two things about it: you need gloves and mask if you don't want itchy palms and fibers in your mouth, and also - it doesn't fold well, so occasionally (for some corners for example) I still prefer to use paper. Great job, clean and fast.

[@TheCarpenterUnion]

What consistency though? I always end up dripping all over myself.

[@capt.slamkalski5332]

I'm a drywaller, hang and finish. I have to double hang 5/8 past the ceiling in apartment units. Sound proof or fire wall is what they want. I'm trying to find a faster way of hanging that. Past the 8 foot ceiling on the side walls that divide the units. Not outside walls just the units side by side. I just don't want to go up and down all week.

[@valflo8321]

I have a question. I want to replace the drywall in my house but should I start with the ceiling then replace the walls? And can I put insulation in the ceiling as I replace the ceiling drywall? How would I do that?

[@boss2923]

never use mesh tape with lightweight joint compound ! Absolute no no !

[@sherryspectre217]

Paul today, the 4th of July, is my birthday. I could REALLY use a 12 and 10 inch Tomahawk. it would be a wonderful gift.

[@WilliamCurry-bh3dk]

QUESTION PURPOSE OF TAPE ?

[@diehardfan173]

Nice movements. I can tell you have lots of experience doing this. Do you have this down to a science obviously but,I’m curious why we don’t put mud over the tape on the first pass.

So after this dries do you sand a bit and go over it again with larger 12" skim coat?

[@amoscardoza5253]

Hi

[@xephael3485]

No sanding between coats. I’ll just scrape off any ridges or high spots with my 6” drywall knife. Then coat with a 12”. Video coming after the first coating the butt joints video.👍🏻

Thanks for this! Clear explanations for everything you're doing! Very much appreciated! A small (not really that important) critique for future videos is to take the sound off the original clips (or lower the volume) so the sound of the knife hitting your bucket doesn't distract from the commentary. Cheers mate!
