Paul, I have even more respect for your ceiling work while watching this video. I have enough trouble mudding smoothly over my 1960 home's kitchen ceiling (crack repaired with your endorsed techniques) with a sanded texture, but you are coping well with that really thick and variably textured ceiling! Thanks for all the instruction and the safety information (easily and commonly overlooked or ignored) ! My lungs really appreciate it ! 🙂

[@SuzyTopAgent]

Paul Peck has become a household name here! Any repairs we make, we always hope you would approve 👍 So much harder then it looks, you always have a good eye and a steady hand Paul!

Excellent videos Paul! I'm inspired and ready to take a second shot at a couple of ceiling cracks that I patched with mesh tape like 10 years ago and have since re-opened. I also recently installed crown molding in my dining room and encountered a wavy ceiling and a wavy wall in the same area. After diagnosing the problem the crown went in but there are gaps behind the crown that really needs some mud. The gaps are too big for caulking. I even brought someone in to look at it and he started talking about the old timers that had the skills to do this. He didn't want to tackle the job. I'm considering doing it myself.

[@traceydetwiler9552]

I’m so glad I found your KZbin channel it has helped me a lot. Great content. 👍👍👍

#drywall tube... trying to watch as many of your videos as I can. 1st time DIY, and repairing a water damaged area in the ceiling- I cut it out, screwed-in a replacement piece of sheetrock... I got it to where I'm ready to put in a final smooth skim coat. 👍🏼 Thank you!

Oh i am binge watching,to get any tips that i can apply to my paneling renovation 😉 i have assisted with drywall in the past,used that mesh stuff,so much sanding ,i am praying the fibafuse will be a better alternative 😉

Hi Paul, great video. I am fixing a big hole on my ceiling and it is difficult to apply mud evenly. It looks easy when watching you explain the techniques in different scenarios. How do I find someone in my area who can help me with the ceiling repairs? Thank you

[@Andrew-cp3ki]

Hello Paul, I just finished doing drywall repairs for a job but realized I suck at putting compound in window sills. Can you please make a video about this, thanks!

[@randalneely7316]

Covering old plaster that has the sand finish like "pimples"! takes a lot of mud. I need to try the roller method you have shown. Maybe? Suggestions?

[@hamildub]

have customer with hairline cracks in the ceiling, we can see deflection happening from the steel stud frame. do you think fibafuse would be good enough to prevent the cracks from reapearing?

[@adamscott7179]

I’m only 18 but I feel like I’m gonna need this knowledge later in life 😂 thanks for helping everyone!

[@richardp3624]

It's great that you've already developed that level of foresight; it seems you'll succeed at whatever you do.

I'm working on a drywall project that I don't want to be working on... Knockdown down texture match, gotta do it tho.

[@robertalordagarcia9992]

New sub here😀 i got a challenge for you😉 I live in a 74 single wide mobile home, famous for paneling! Cant afford to replace paneling with drywal ,i know i have to remove joint strips ,take staples out . Now how can i as simple as possible!!! Fill inbetween panels tape ,after that can i roller skim coat trowel out to fill in those paneling lines ,i am disabled and cant physically fill in each indent line,going around filling in "but joints" every 4' will be hard enough ! And how can i get away with as little sanding as possible ? I have to presand all my walls b4hand for proper adhesion! Oh do i prime b4 skim coat? And after?ps i have assisted with drywall mud and tape b4,but this trying to turn paneling into a drywal look as easy and cheap as possible, seems very daunting to say the least

[@MichaelCEgan66]

I stripped a popcorn ceiling. It wasn’t primed so it came off pretty easy. What’s the best method to finish it flat ceiling

[@THETIMINATORTHETOOLMAN]

using the blade to look for the areas to add mud is a trick my Pop’s showed me years ago.

[@stevehendrick8688]

I’m a very poor DIY mudder looking to improve my mudding and taping skills.

[@josemonclus8325]

Get your self some dry wall , dry wall mud ,tape and tools. then cut some holes in the drywall and repar holes, tape and mud. The trick is getting the flow with your hand when you apply the mud .

Hi Melody! Thanks for the comment! Here a video where I repaired a ceiling corner: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kH-3YmWwj798mZI Let me know if this helps? 👍 -Paul

[@user-bk4pz7oj5w]

I removed popcorn. Now I have to repair ceiling and edges where tape was remove by cutting it off at edge. How do I reapply new tape on edges. Do I do like a new project or just flat tape ceiling only without putting tape on wall.

[@mack1609]

Nice work. Will joint compound stick to previous painted surfaces or is it just for drywall. I have a wall that needs skimming but is painted. Help would be great. Thanks

[@PaulPeck]

Yes, it will stick to previously painted surfaces. I recommend using an all purpose joint compound because it has more glue in it. That gives it better adhesion properties.👍🏻 I hope this helps. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!😎 -Paul

Throw it away . It has a short storage life, water turns to mold in time
