You have to fix the root of the problem and just taping it won’t do it by experience(30+)one is to secure the drywall to avoid movement, install screws on both sides of the crack when is possible. No able to do it mean wallboard was installed wrong ,faulty framing and it will need different approach like cutting the area back to the nailers.

[@beaufighter245]

Same here. As I had a question, it was answered. Excellent tutorial. No drama, no banging music, just clear instruction.

[@Licensed1]

1. Just use paper tape with all purpose joint compound. If using chemical drying mud such as 20 minute hot mud use mesh tape. 2. Always screw both side of the crack after making a v out of the crack with your 5 in 1 knife. There’s no reason not to secure the the board, it’s always a must to secure the board. 3. It is best to run a seam as if you are using Ames tools such as a 10 in box. Apply the least amount of mud per coat so that no crown appears. There’s never a reason to pull your knife sideways across a seam unless it during a skim coat which would be done to fill in the horizontal bulbs going across the seam. If he was in the union he would need to learn a lot about drywall application.

[@jb3222]

That looks fantastic, and the tip about etching a line along the end of the crack is priceless. I've never dared use tape as I always assumed that it would create a conspicuous hump - but evidently not! Thanks!

[@Tekagi]

It does indeed create a hump, which can be 1/16" - 1/8" thick. If you try to keep the patch too small, it will be quite conspicuous when hit with light from the side. The key is how he makes the patch wide (using a 12" drywall knife for the final coats) so that it tapers out gradually. Beginners often make the mistake of trying to keep it as small as possible, but you need to build it out for the illusion of flatness.

[@philharwood4684]

Thanks Bill for your great video, the cracks in my bedroom ceiling had been annoying me for ages and now you'd never know they were there.

[@robotsnthat]

The end of the crack has infinite stress, which is why the crack will continue. Try to find the end of the crack then drill a hole at the end instead of the cross cut, which is better than nothing, but a hole is the best. This dissipates the stress along the circumference of the crack, and prevents the crack from continuing. Doesn't need to be a large hole - 5 or 6 mm drill would be fine and easy to patch up. Great repair and video.

[@karlmiller4061]

You are correct sir. If people would pay attention. Putting wet mud over wet tape will cause blisters. This guy needs to go back to finishing closets before he's allowed in the rest of the house 😂

[@adescon]

Good point to end the stress rip with a cross line - you can also drill a hole at the end of the crack - the reason to do this is stress relief. Used to be done in Aluminium / steal as well to create a strong (round) end where the stress in the material cannot easily propagate.

[@virginia7125]

We had a mild earthquake in Mineral, Virginia. This cracked houses all over central Virginia. I have a stucco ceiling so I can't use tape. I had to take a razor knife & just V notch everything. I built the crack up with several coats. Primed & painted it. Still looks good. It's been 10 years or so. A blister in paint is hard to fix unless you rough sand the slick area or put tape in it. Best to cut a square & peel the paint back. Then add the tape with a glue back. You could scratch little lines in it to help it stick without the tape. Feather as you did, prime, & paint.

[@AlenbtgMepstoen]

With this information I repaired cracks on my house (walls cracks). House is almost 100 years old and cracks appeared after major renovations, because I filled the curvature of the walls in a hurry, which later made cracks on some walls painting. If you have curved walls, instead of using broad trowels one has to opt for smaller tools. Thank you very much, the repair succeeded splendidly.

[@yippeethreeeight]

That's great! I think I might be able to do that. BTW, that trick with cutting across the crack is similar to something done on airplanes. If plastic cracks (say a wing fairing or something like that), the mechanic will drill a small hole at the end of the crack. That usually prevents the crack from propagating any further. So what you did is a good practice.

Thanks for this one Bill! I had to do this at my house a few years back but didn't think / know to groove out the crack or make a crack stop at the ends. I also used paper tape instead of mesh. The crack has since reappeared, so I will use your method when I fix it again.

I have tried both paper tape and mesh tape on cracks. Mesh tape covered cracks tend to reappear. Never paper taped cracks. Mesh has no physical strength and will pass thru any tiny movement. Paper stays put. I always add screws on both sides regardless if feels firm since it cracked on its own.

[@SNL19067]

Great video, Bill...thanks for posting it. I may have a better solution for stopping the crack based on years working as an aircraft mechanic mitigating windscreen cracks. The issue is that the drywall (or windscreen) is stressed beyond where the crack ends, so the crack has already potentially continued past that point. I would drill a 1/4" hole at the visible end of the crack making a larger gap between what is already cracked and what is stressed. I am currently renovating an old house with it's share of stress cracks and will be using your method of patching. Thanks

[@superballin69]

drywall doesn't have the same integrity as metal. All holes are filled with a secondary product and not as strong at the original drywall. If your house is full of cracks, I am guessing it is old, possibly smooth plaster and lath, and they used fiber tapes. If you got cracks at the tops of windows and doors, it is because the joint lands on the corners of the doors and windows. Most cracks are caused by boarding than anything else. This is why things are staggered and are hooked over corners when boarding (old houses when boarded didn't know this). If it is crack city (I am almost certain the video demonstration is plaster and lath just but the way the crack looked, and looked when cut out) Almost certain it is plaster and lath, or the dryall has a billion joints improperly boarded (which can happen surprisingly, and I have fixed several in my lifetime which are not fun).

Very nicely done Bill. Thank you for your time to show us how to do this and what to expect. On the rare occasions I have done work like this, I usually get frustrated at the first coat because it is no good. Also the scratching out and preparation. Cheers

Homie, you’re badder than Shaft! That was a smoooth finish, done belt and braces too. Chapeau! I'm off to fix the pigs ear eyesore I made of my bedroom ceiling crack!

I would suggest one thing: try using fiberglass patch, since it is very resilient to reformation of cracks. It saves a whole lotta taping. Been doing it this way for many years now, and yes, it does work. Gave up taping most cracks for about a decade now.

Oh mate, you make it look so easy, and that's a proper good job! I'll be keeping all of this in mind for a couple of cracks I need to work on. Cheers!
