[@matthewmccollum5667]

First timer about to give this a try.... wish me luck guys. Brand new DIY.....

[@truthdogschell8473]

I’m a diy’er. Just inherited a home with a lot of water damage in ceilings and can’t find anyone to come out to house to fix drywall. It’s in the middle of West Virginia. So your videos are really helpful. Thank you.

[@helifan2346]

Do you know what makes it so easy to understand and easier to do? The way he explains the process and the use of the right words and showing how to do it at the same time That’s what a teacher is Because HE has the experience, been doing it for years!

[@user-fs8nu8pm8m]

Thanks a lot for what you teach me I'm just an old person who loves to learn new way's to be better, I don't compete against no body but my self, thanks again keep up the good work God bless you my great friend

[@PaulPeck]

Thank you. So glad you’re enjoying my videos.👍🏻😎

[@guybowers9094]

A few years ago we had solar installed and in the process one of the crew put his foot through the ceiling talking out a 4x4 section of drywall so they had a guy come make the repair and it was obvious he didn't know what he was doing. When he put the mud on he left the edges proud which stuck out like a sore thumb and when I told him it was unacceptable he said well nobody could make it blend in. They finally sent a real drywall guy and he did a great job

[@Mike-01234]

I used the FibaFuse in the corner just folded it with a yard stick like paper. I didn't want to go buy entire roll of paper to fix one hole. It come out nice can't even tell the FIbaFuse is really nice used to use mesh for repairs but switched to this that way just have one compound no need for setting compound. I also used regular joint compound for years before didn't know any better never had a problem with cracking.

[@greggin9116]

I never get tired of seeing how great your jobs turn out and how easy you make it seem! (By watching your videos I’ve convinced my brother in law that we can fix a water damaged area in their ceiling.😃! I can’t wait to get it done. It’s going to look great🙏ThankYou so much, ~Gin

[@asmamidhat9142]

I am a DIY person.bathroom faucet leaked into kitchen ceiling and so need to make it look good, your video is very informative and helpful. Will attempt to do it if not will call professional. Thank you.

[@paulwoodman5131]

Cool thanks, right on time. I'm doing a popcorn removal then patch where I removed a leaking skylight. So there's some water damage to cutout and repair. With your help I'll have some confidence to skim coat the bathroom ceiling. Relatively small, 5x10 room.

Adding water for a sloppy mix on the final skim coat is essential.

Another great tutorial, Paul! (btw, new sub). Please give your opinion re: pros/cons of using 1 in. x 10 ft. Paper-Faced Inside Corner Bead or similar product for the inside corner joint where wall meets ceiling. Thanks!

[@ericfrancis7816]

Hey, Paul! Thanks for the videos. We recently bought a house that had (much to our surprise) a 2nd floor shower drain that leaked. Leak is fixed but now we have a hole in the kitchen ceiling. I cut out the damaged part, but before I attempt the repair I wanted to know if I should remove all the drywall that has water staining, or if it can be left if it's still solid. Cheers!

[@aussie8114]

If it’s stained only then there’s no need to remove it. Just apply a coat of a water stain sealer, usually metho based, prior to your painting. You can buy this in liquid or a spray can. Having said that there’s no harm in cutting out a slightly larger area than your existing hole. An experienced repairer can do a cut out repair pretty easily. I’ve done hundreds of them.

Hi there, from Runnyeggs channel. Nice to meet you my new friend.

[@harleymbaldwin]

DIYer here : would u suggest Fiibafuse for a ceiling or wall crack (versus mesh tape for example?) I would use hot mud with FF, rather than normal joint compound.

[@alishaalletto4083]

Hi Paul - Is there anyway you can show a ceiling repair that needs to match a "fan" pattern? I have a fairly large one to do and am afriad I won't get it matched up correctly.

[@AMMO1981]

Hi Paul. I been following you for a while. How do you get your mud soo smoothly on the surface. Do you thin the mud down

[@DutyRon]

Paul, Do you think there was mold beyond the repair? I'm always worried about it when there is water damage.

[@teresitafaure4230]

Hi. I'm a DIYer. Your video is very helpful. My question to you is this. My house was built in '65, split ranch. Ok. Now, I noticed the ceiling over the bathtub peeling. I pulled the hanging piece and it came down. A little more came down. When I examined it. There was a hole. All in all I believe it is about 8 inches round more or less. The hole does not show drywall. I can't make out what it is. It is not wet. I'm thinking it is plaster and it started to peel away from the moisture and humidity and painting. Can you please give me your thoughts on my hole in the bathroom? What is the best way to fix it? Any and all suggestions will be appreciated.

[@lisaspears2807]

how to repair lifted tape in the seams? do you have a video on that? When only one side of the tape lifts is there an easy fix?

[@mistyjordan7147]

I need you at my house. 😊🥰

[@hoanglinhammetv904]

I was hoping to see how you matched that ceiling skip trowel texture.

[@NFTYCENT]

I work maintenance at a resort and a pro painter

[@vinnyvasquez]

If other parts of the ceiling are so rough and uneven why make the repair area perfectly smooth? I assume the next step was to sand the entire ceiling anyway?

[@Hazel_256]

Hiya! I have 3/4 inch drywall (a very bit smaller on the opposite end) but no one sells 3/4 drywall. Any idea what I should do? I'm DIYing a bathroom drywall repair.

[@jesse818]

On your other video, you placed the tape after the joint mud process. This video, tape is placed with All Purpose compound. Is there good reason for this? Also, after mud and Joint Compound, can you still see the joint area where to place the tape?

0:45 Would a utility knife be a better tool than the saw. I'm thinking about dust)

[@bhumane8642]

forgive me, I'm a novice. Why the dry mix compound, then the joint compound? Also, what is the purpose of the tape if you are using joint compound? Forgive my ignorance. Also, when you initially made your large cut out, how did you know you were at the studs? Did you measure it on purpose that way? I think you have links to this.

Y not use durabond for pre fill? Works much better than the hot mud plus u wouldn’t even have to worry about taping cause u know the durabond wont budge.

I'm a house painter with a 2.5 by 3 foot cut out on a ceiling the plumbers opened when the toilet upstairs let go.

[@wgemini4422]

I would just leave a big hole there. The wood would dry up completely, you can see all the pipes in case they ever leak again and you see real wood. Much more attractive than a white boring ceiling. Ok, fine, I am just lazy and not handy. :D

Why cut out a hole in a wall if it has dried out? Would have been useful to see how you fitted that piece of plasterboard.
