This is good info. I'm a painter who does the occasional taping or popcorn removal job. I've started using 210 on larger jobs rather than 90 just so I don't have to worry so much about a full bag setting up on me before I can use it up. I think I'll probably switch back because I can see the 210 drying out in spots before it sets. I'd also add that I usually start filling screws with hot mud once it starts to harden but before it becomes unusable, drying before setting shouldn't be an issue there.

Use that 20-minute mud with PVA glue in the water. 25% for structural and less for not. Works like charm and delays drying before curing. few things hot mud swells, most primers make hot mud swell so use a good hotmud sealer, you definitely need 2 coats of good primer to stop flash through. Learned all this the hard way.

How's this for going old school: I still use the brown bag Durabond every once in a while. Maybe two bags a year. The stuff that literally hardens like a rock. The places I use it are in areas where taping is a pain, like when fixing cracks in old textured ceilings. I only use it as a bottom coat and very sparingly. I also use it to fill areas to bring up a patch to wall levels for those times when there's a big difference in depth between the patch and the old wall. Because it's literally rock-like, it's great for filling deep and wide gaps where taping is difficult. It's especially helpful in old homes with plastered walls. Home Depot and Lowes have discontinued it. Menards still sells it. Glad they do because it has saved me a lot of time.

I can't thank you enough for this info. I've literally googled with at least 7 different queries asking for an answer to why my hot mud wasn't setting up in some areas (but not everywhere) after several hours with nothing but useless results. This was especially perplexing because I would always test to see if it had set yet by lightly applying pressure to one of the lap marks to see if it was hard yet. If it was, I'd proceed with scraping down the high points with my knife, only to see my knife make an awful gouge into the mud that didn't set up, ruining the coat. Turns out I just didn't know that hot mud shouldn't be used for thin floating. Since learning this from you, I pretty much only use hot mud for pre-filling, taping, and occasionally on the first coat after tape.

Thanks for the info! I think I knew instinctively that ready mix mud was the wrong product for deep voids, but hated the dust, muss, and mixing of setting mud. When my brother and I were looking at an old fixer-upper years ago (it was being “flipped”, I’m sure), the owner had a crew of day laborers patching large voids with buckets of All Purpose. I don’t know how many coats he’d applied, but the shrinkage cracks were huge. He was planning on hiding everything with paint

USG recommends you only use paper tape for any tape and bedding. They also recommend you score the factory butt joints with a blade for better adhesion, but who does that? Every single time I have to repair old patches (not mine), its because the previous patches used hot mud that is just falling off the walls and ceilings with some scraping. I actually like to use my hot mud unmixed on my tray until I start tapping. So i put water first, then hot mud, stir a little bit and then start tapping. Ill have some dry stuff and wet stuff in my tray the whole time as I am applying. My time to mix a tray is less than two minutes, It cures faster, then I just scrape with a 90 degree angle any imperfections once it hardens up, but before it begins to dry.

2 points to make, I had the same thoughts about EZ sand, but 1 thing I do to counter my concerns first of all when I use 45 or 90 and I want to speed up the setting time I use very warm water when mixing it works, for EZ sand 5 or 20 if I want to extend the setting time I use refrigerated cold water when I mix it, it allows you to not have to worry about hurrying, to do this allows you to take your time, sometimes I run out of the type I need, by using the different temperature water with the type that I have, I may not have to run back to the store right away.

It will literally set up in your pan before you get it on the wall if you’re over mix it or take too long to get the thickness right. Hot mud should only be used on fills deeper than 1/8 of an inch.

What I said was that if you put hot mud on really thin, it dries before it cures. If it’s a 20 minute hot mud, it needs 20 minutes to cure and if it dries before that, it doesn’t cure right. Hot mud can take much longer to set up over painted surfaces and non-porous surfaces.

Great info as usual. Does this apply to where the mud gets thin around the edges where you're feathering a patch? Is it ok if you're going over with a texture done in all purpose? Also, could you add a link to the 15 hot mud tips video to the description? Thanks Guy, you rock!!!

The feathered edges are fine, and yes you can go over it with the regular mud. I haven’t released the 15 tips video yet. Thanks

@@ThatKiltedGuyDIY Then the manufacturer's recommendation is confusing to me. It doesn't get any thinner than a feathered edge.. ?

You answered my question I was trying to figure out if hot mud just needed to set or needed to thoroughly dry before putting another coat on it. I’m not really sure how thick it can be applied. I’m trying to get it a half inch thick.
Sometimes 20 minute mud means you have about 2 minutes to get it mixed then 2-5 minutes before you're dealing with a slimy rock :p

Good to know. Im in the middle of redoing a bath remodel i did 10yrs ago. Walls look perfect. Ceiling not so much All the joints have hairline cracks and where i had to reposition a recessed light the paper tape in one spot just completely let go and fell in the floor. The entire room was done with new sheetrock. 1/2" on walls and 1/4" over dry scraped popcorn on ceiling. All joints were finished with paper tape and 45min mud. I fixed one ceiling crack about 2 months after 1st remodel by adding some more screws along the joint and scraping out the old paper tape and used mesh tape and 45min mud again. It too has recracked. I think i can fix the moved recessed light with mesh tape instead of paper and hot mud but this time finish with and all purpose. But im not sure the best way to approach the hairline cracks at the seams. Do i need to cut away the paper tape and go with mesh or just mesh over the top? Thanks in advance. Great videos!

When use hot mud and meshed tape, do you completely hide the tape with first coat? I seem to have trouble using meshed tape.

@@jr7003 ok. Well your comment doesn’t really make sense. All I said was this can fail if you use it wrong, not that it’s a bad product at all. Hope that clears it up.

Five minutes mud is a waste it takes five minutes to mix
@ThatKiltedGuyDIY Жыл бұрын
It’s only for pro’s. I can mix up a whole pan, spread it and clean it in that time but for most, use 45-90
