Awesome. At that rate could do 4 houses a day at $10,000 a house. $40k a day aint bad coin in Australia. Gotta love 30 years of non stop housing price growth.

[@10bandsgames69]

What I do with my boxes and angle heads is put them in a 5 gallon bucket with transmission fluid. I rinse the transmission fluid off before I use them they last over 10 years still work like new. Only have to change blades every once in a while had to change it on my 12 inch box.

[@Maxkil]

Hey that's something different. Keeps them lubed up. Thanks for sharing.... Feel free to send me some video of yourself , I can share

[@carverdahlin2728]

Thats cool, do you clean the mud off before you put it in the transmission fluid?

[@samuelsosa5471]

Ah man ! You really need a mud pump to fill that flat box. that will make your life so much easier and be more eficiente at work with less of a hassle

[@Maxkil]

Yeah I think you're right. Haha Thanks for watching Samuel good to hear from you

[@sidley1234]

Amen! I was like huh!? No pump ?

[@leer.9641]

They run their box mud too thick for a pump.

[@omarmartinez1610]

I cant imagine how much the joints will shrink after it cures. You cant be giving second coat on the joint, if the first is still really fresh

[@brahyama.merlinjimenez6400]

Omar Martinez brother the put the tape with some kind of hot mud that why they putting the secon coat like that come on is impossible do secon coat like that it will peel the first one and the blade in the box it will drag it and marking everywhere that why I think the apply one kind of hot mud

[@jasonjohnson6274]

Great vids guys...I know its different strokes for different folks but you should maybe go with the pump to fill up the box so much easier keep up the great vids guys!​

[@Maxkil]

Thanks very much Jason. "Yeah the pump you have to bend down to fill up and it's one more thing to wash out." Quoted from Craig, the guy filling up the tape pro flat box in this video. Haha. Me personally I do a lot of small stuff and I barely get the chance to pull my boxes out so it's not a problem in the world for me.

[@TheSprayking]

when you use your pump everyday its easy to leave mud in it and wash outside or leave in water bucket, would save you $$, not a hassle at all and you can fill your box in 5 seconds

[@Maxkil]

Yeah I agree with you there. Please Send me some footage that I can put on my channel mate.. I like showing different styles and methods. I'm yet to have a bazooka on the channel

[@TheSprayking]

Ok, next job I'll grab some footage. Maxli. Great vids man, i know how it is to film in jobs.. Good stuff👍✌

[@Maxkil]

Thanks man look forward to it. Remember shoot video horizontal.

[@pcno2832]

2:45 I've never seen the butterscotch flavor before; do they have strawberry over there as well?

[@rodjames1693]

Buuuuttteeerrrssscccoottttcccchhhhhaaa ha ha lol

[@jonathancurtin5291]

Good vid..just one thing I'd do is do the seams with the box one way then switch it and finish the seams the other way..saves time turning the box every seam....time is money

[@joshuajohnston8452]

Man the amigos haven’t taken over the trade over there yet ? Lol

[@chrismartin7747]

Not completely filling the box with the pump is the reason why it's not working properly, the guy trowling behind should be doing something else instead, your work will be quicker

[@michaelcharest6693]

No kidding right? I’ve seen a lot of these vids from Australia and I’m not too keep on some of the methods

[@michaelcharest6693]

And what’s with all there inside angles? No tape? Crown? I’ve seen a lot of vids and that’s what I’ve seen

[@EverydayImVloggin]

michael charest what are you taking about ?

[@emmalaurie4045]

Need more screws on the 6m boards so the glue can bond better theres deadset 2 screws the hole board lol 100% it bouncy

[@myronsmith2114]

Not enough nails or screws per board and that gap at the ceiling would never pass fire stop inspection in the states

[@Maxkil]

Wouldn't pass fire inspection here in Australia either. Especially with the stud adhesive used

[@antr6690]

No outlets, switches? Easiest job I ever seen

[@omarmartinez1610]

And hardly any nails to cover in between the sheet. It amazes me how its able to inspection like that

[@ModernGentleman]

@@omarmartinez1610 there is no inspection for drywall it isnt structural in any way.

[@americosorto9048]

That’s a easy house to finish. No butt joins and almost no nails

[@ModernGentleman]

Two questions, one, what the hell is allyoominyoom? Second, are those the shortest shorts they had?

[@tylerpitts3312]

It's australia who knows maybe they go shorter

[@shawnl3154]

skill free taping !

[@CarlosTorres-ow9qr]

Looks like the TOOL was having technical difficulties

[@simonrizk4451]

thanks

[@derecksacco5967]

Ceilings first

[@danac2259]

Need a pump. Scrape joints befor running them. Several of those joints are going to crown and be humps from just running the box down the middle.

[@Maxkil]

They were all scraped and they all get back blades, so they won't crown up...

[@elfindelnombre9803]

Y que pasa con las esquinas no los veo en acción con ellas todo se ve muy bonito y ellos hacen que se vea fácil pero yo quiero ver como les va con las esquinas

[@a.t.wheelman3837]

maybe some company shirts,pants perhaps and work boots?

[@graxo3752]

i box out a house alone and have other guys crossing off and running metal and picking out

[@Maxkil]

Try send me some footage to share mate. That would be great

[@rodjames1693]

I just put together a couple boxes using Pelican Vault V700 and V800 gun cases to hold my drywall tools....have a look here ....drive.google.com/folderview?id=1KBhvatMfJBW_GZYnLnauwdB2XSfmVP56

[@robertocarlos-yi1sk]

Your box internal rubbers are shot, the compound is spewing out. That's why your poles are caked in shit.

[@honshujames2402]

How much water add???

[@cesarvalenzuela1664]

That's so sweet

[@ervinbravo7021]

hispanos al rescate

[@micxploed]

Why don't I see any screws or nail holes? What did you guys use some kind of adhesive for the drywall?

[@MrGabrielramosone]

I was thinking the same thing

[@crackedplasterer9116]

Australian standard look it up

[@10bandsgames69]

You need a pump they cost like 300 bucks three pumps and it has the boxful

[@mynoralvarado6354]

And where do you get it

[@tripplesixx4556]

Tape pro.. Shorts, tank top, and skips leg day. Right....

[@benmcconkey2226]

man ive never seen that colour of mud before

[@ricklenegan2294]

Why is the guy with the finishing knife carrying a screed board, and if he knows how to use a screed board why doesn't he use a trowel?

[@kenseymour5152]

Rick Lenegan carrying a screed board is a lot easier on your wrist than digging corners out of a pan I used a trowel but I used knifes too I always like a steed board better

[@codymoore1223]

Do you have an address so i can send you a mud pump? Id like to see a video of how much time that would save you

[@Maxkil]

Haha, I got a mud pump. Thanks anyway.

[@flogarbi6757]

Yep I like all vidéos you make. We have same job. I have just started with the box 👍. Give me brand of your spray for information. Please 🌴🌴🌴

[@Maxkil]

Any Brand spray is ok. You probably have WD-40 in your country. Just use that. Thanks for watching.

[@flogarbi6757]

Maxkil thks i did it. Go on.

[@10bandsgames69]

 use Dawn dish soap it will keep it from making little air pocket. Use about a half dollar size in 5 gallon bucket

[@tokenpoke1661]

Cooking oil is good the SPRAY tho

[@Tman2217]

G'day mates. Nice video of some mudding. If this is supposed to be a "how to" video, could you guys maybe explain to the folks watching what's going on and describe the process a bit? Also, as many folks have already pointed out, a pump for the skim boxes would help out tremendously also, if you guys use a bazooka, you could use the pump to fill that too! You would just need to get the goose neck that attaches to the pump. Nice box work though. Butt joints always used to give me the most trouble, especially the ones low to the ground. Can you guys do a video on proper box work with the skim box and angle box?

[@Maxkil]

Haha g'day mate. We don't use the angle box too much. Been trying to get some more footage of this... Yeah I don't explain things much I know. I need to work on that as well. Also we don't use bazooka at all. Will try to conjure up some film of that . Thanks again

[@Tman2217]

Thanks, mate. I know the bazooka can be a bit pricey so most folks watching might not have the money on hand to buy one or the pump with the gooseneck for that matter. But if you guys are doing a big job and like to work fast, running a bazooka makes it right quick. A roller and glazer help with that, but they too can be pricey. Cheers!

[@ModernGentleman]

They obviously dont use a bazooka you can't fill one without a pump

[@roberttartaglia7589]

anybody else see the big gaps in the top corners ..what are you guys doing stacking the walls 😂😂😂

[@fr8trainUS]

They put cornice molding up there

[@user-fs1zq9hb7w]

Супермэн

[@adrcamacho1]

I’m a little OCD, so all that dried up mud on the handle would drive me bananas!!!! Why not bring the bucket of mud to each room instead of running back and forth to fill the flat box???

[@Maxkil]

Because one fill nearly does the room. Then you'd be moving the bucket back and forth

[@adrcamacho1]

Maxkil Ahhhhh ok! Good point. Great videos!! This makes me want to go and buy my own taping tools. Even for a basic setup it’s around $1000 America dollars.

[@Maxkil]

Yeah not cheap. Mine were given to me thank goodness

[@roycebennett2778]

I was thinking that about the handle i got one me and my old man have had for 5 years its spotless people think it's brand new i just don't get any mud on it

[@10bandsgames69]

When I work on a big house I usually use a roll around scaffold. The small ones

[@scottie8984]

Why don't u take the mud closer to where ur working.

[@JusTryYegor]

Whats named the spray you use and what is it for ?

[@Maxkil]

It was just some silica spray it wd-40 stupid and mud from sticking makes for an easy clean out. Thanks for the question and please subscribe

[@flogarbi6757]

Very good job 😉

[@Maxkil]

Thanks very much

[@coolperson8296]

Where is the pump

[@R1SK3R]

Don't need to screw the whole board when gluing guys who are complaining about the screws

[@JFAM077]

Can someone explain the large gap at the ceiling? Why is top horizontal sheet butt up against the ceiling?

[@chriskeel3096]

the type of crown moulding they will use

[@robputnam5324]

Whoever spotted those screws should be fired. where are all the boxes and Outlets?

[@Maxkil]

Fired.... That's a bit harsh. Maybe just beaten over the head.

[@Maxkil]

Australia man. It's different

[@wadeh777]

Adjust those blades my friend those edges will never be acceptable on high sheen smooth paints

[@robertochacon4036]

Uhm.... First off, mud to thick and your flat box need some tlc

[@505xjk6]

Get a pump bro.scrap them flats before you box them.

[@wellingtonfarias8469]

Quantos kg?

[@livershot2066]

Is that Fedors other brother 😂

[@user-fs1zq9hb7w]

Так и есть!😀

[@rubenflores137]

Use the fucken pump!!!

[@NFLbroski]

hey man you should have bucket on you

[@rus1137]

Экстракласс!

[@joe_hans]

where can I get a tool like that

[@Iburn247]

Online. It's called a drywall flat box

[@anthonyg3]

Hey man ! Do you guys not use pumps for your boxes ?

[@Maxkil]

Nah not really. The time saved is lost cleaning

[@brianleys6942]

Should really get a pump. Way faster and will fill the box right full. And 5mins of cleaning the box and pump is not much time wasted lol wiping in behind the box is the waste of time lol

[@rpmtheh7066]

Thick mud

[@Tman2217]

Think this is either first skim coat or second by the look of some of the joints. You want thicker mud for that. The third coat is the finish coat, that you genereally can use thinner mud for.

[@peterfung8491]

Can I send u a video about me to use tap pro flat box ,maybe is the most fastest. I thing my skill is better than this video, I use tap pro flat box,need two guys behind me

[@corporateworldwokeslave3589]

10 box on 3 , 10 box on 4 sand the edges and lap lines . Done . Get a pump and your mud is too thin . The guy chasing with a knife is wasting time .

[@jaibabravagalindo1378]

Ben there done that in other day on heaven

[@damkebesa5982]

give me link where I can buy this

[@Maxkil]

www.maxkil.com/shop/buy-tapepro

[@javiersolis1138]

Use pomp

[@emmalaurie4045]

Pros but u are missing screws on walls celling is OK but screws on walls not much screws they are long length s can at least see 3/4/ boards

[@crackedplasterer9116]

Your in the wrong country bro This is Australian standard look it up

[@robertocarlos-yi1sk]

Always ceiling joins first, now you are going to bash into the walls looking upwards. No thought process boys, have a think about your sequence, and service your boxes weekly. I know it's a 'spec home' thrash, but leaning onto the box with your body weight at an angle, is the way for walls. Using leverage with the pole for ceilings, see sawing one hand against the other. Your wrists and elbows would be hurting i bet? Intelligence beats brawn, and a far superior job...every time!

[@sandyjose20]

Why is the mud yellow?

[@Maxkil]

Thats just that companies mix so it is easily identifiable I suppose. Not sure why. Maybe so painters don't sand over patches as they can see it better

[@cheechnchong20]

Its Compound

[@cheechnchong20]

Jose Fernandez when it Drys. It turns white

[@505xjk6]

It's topping mud .softer compound for finish coats.

[@charlesterrizzi8311]

Neat tool...horrible music

[@bigrg3821]

If ur dude is wiping behind u ur running the box on a low level set it to 3 and u won't need a guy wiping behind u

[@Maxkil]

We like it to be perfect with the air bubbles pushed out

[@bigrg3821]

If u have alot of bubbles ur adding to much water

[@bigrg3821]

Ur on the right track main bt the box is meant for production u don't have a pump and u have a guy wiping behind u might as well coat by hand at that point

[@bigrg3821]

I see u guys use hawk still as well if u came to Colorado u would see how production is done i box whole floors in skyrises alone been in the game for along time u have .much to learn bt A for effort

[@Maxkil]

No not a lot but it feathers the crown. It's slower but better

[@geovanycastillo5831]

there's not enough screws on dry wall .

[@Maxkil]

We use stud adhesive in Australia.

[@julianalva8278]

Why the joint compound the yellow color. ???

[@Maxkil]

Not sure. Maybe so it's recognisable . Thats a good question maybe someone will answer that here for us

[@emmanuelola9939]

so you can know when the previous coat is cover up. Is advisable that your top coat is fully cover your second coat

[@Tman2217]

I think the yellow mud you're referring to might be wet mud, or mud that hasn't fully dried yet. I see plenty of white mud on the walls though, so that tells me the mud they use isn't a funny color where they're at.

[@brianN9955]

Yellow is finishing easy sand mud. It's very light. The white one is hard to sand and is used in cracks and taping.

[@timtam5784]

there are many white colour compound as well. I think the colour just preference of different brands, no specific reason.

[@osvaldogonzalez9492]

You dont Need to wipe down with the knife

[@johnweil5891]

Alot of ppl pass over with blade I myself do I been running boxed for yrs some ppl dont like what they call tracing passing over joint rew times it gives piece of mind that air n lap mark wiped out

[@Maxkil]

Yeah exactly what I think. The guys that teach me day the same as you. Many people critisize if you pass along again. I think it makes perfect sense.

[@JorgeAlvarez-sg2qo]

No bueno

[@fishfly8027]

Maybe just purchase a pump

[@LuisPerez-sx1os]

Too heavy running # 2 or 1

[@roberttartaglia7589]

this video is a disaster

[@tokenpoke1661]

Worst tip ever. Just buy a pump that's a good tip

[@Maxkil]

Lol. Yeah that's a good tip. That's true

[@aaronpeniata699]

Waste of mud

[@LuisPerez-sx1os]

Que chingados es esto what the fuckest that

[@chronicman6271]

very inefficient way of using a box

[@chronicman6271]

you guys try to keep everything to neat and clean and its costing you money

[@emmalaurie4045]

Need more screws on the 6m boards so the glue can bond better theres deadset 2 screws the hole board lol 100% it bouncy
