How to mix Quick-set (large batches)

[@ralphsullivan8972]

Thank you for the video. I have always what to know how to do that with that 90 min. Hot mud. I'm going to try it now on jobs I do. Also, I have pick up on lot of your videos. That has made my jobs go very well. I've in the building and remolding business for 45 years now. Always learning new ways. Thank You again your videos have always been helpful and to the point.

[@jamiedorsey4167]

I've been spilling water on the floor for years. But I always learn something new from your videos. Great tips!

[@robvanharen81]

With this particular brand you use, put your knife (the one you used to open the bag) vertically in the bucket, and pour water into the bucket around an inch under the handle. That is around the amount of water needed for a full bag of quick set.

[@Kains_whored]

Hahahah imagine someone puts it horizontally 😂

[@robh.8214]

Perfect timing! I have 1500 sq foot basement to pre-fill and a bag of pro-set 90!!! Always great videos!!!

[@renaissanceman8581]

Hope you are pre filling with dura bond and not the 90.

[@andylee2484]

Thank you for your videos. I have been a carpenter for over 20 years and I have avoided taping and mudding as much as I can, until.........well, now, when I don't really have a choice. The remodel requires quite a bit of new drywall furred out to meet old plaster, new gang boxes, closets, pantries, etc....It was time to tackle my "fear" and hesitation to tape and mud significant amounts of drywall. I came across your videos and I I can't thank you enough for your transperancy, honesty, sharing of your skills, and taking the time to make these videos. I am much more confident in my skills and I have to say that after watching your videos and putting the tips and tricks to work, and by just doing the work, it looks better thank I could have imagined. THANK YOU!!!!!!!

I've always found a 2 parts powder to 1 part water a pretty good mix, little thick but for most applications it works well and it's easy to have a couple a cups of any size to measure with, just depends on how much you want per batch.

[@mudlick8186]

I believe the correct word is slake, which is to quench a thirst. After mixing you let the mud sit for a while (5-10 minutes) while it continues to absorb water until its capacity to do so is slaked. I've heard masons and others use the word "slack" for almost 50 years but I think this is a case of learning by rote (the guy who taught me said slack, so that must be right).

[@Chopp333r]

Well there ya have it learned something new today even if it is time to hit the hay

[@conradcoolerfiend]

now that i have learned how to spill water on the floor, i feel ready to tape ! XD

[@andrewcarr2431]

for any home owner/diyer's like myself, you can get a 2 gallon bucket for mixing small batches (less waste/more working time) and they are easier to clean out when you are done. the ones from the premixed mud work great.

[@hliz8818]

Awesome i started mudding my house. first time. If I can give a tip bud.. I had a water hose setup outside with a nozzle..so that when I ran out of mud in the bucket..i rinsed it out and cleaned my knives.. TIME SAVER..!!! Went back in and mixed another batch of 90 minute.. REPEAT.

[@hliz8818]

Clean tools and bucket is important for every batch. I tried doin this with 20 and 45 but bits of mud would dry on bucket that made harder to rinse later eith hose. 90 worked well with the cleaning part.

[@kamleshpragapti3883]

Good job this work i have experience 5years All roundr from 🇮🇳🇮🇳 Indian

[@Malungeon18436571]

If you mix it too thick it will set faster. I've had a clean batch of 90 minute become unusable in 10 minutes just because it was to thick.

[@mrtv777]

Or does the TDS give measurements to mix this stuff. I’ve never bothered to looked. 😝

[@williamhur]

I love Vancouver Carpenter! super helpful !!! from South Korea.

[@Chopp333r]

Pretty good and quick tutorial and this works good with 90 minute in that amount, but I usually prefer just to tape and bed with 20 minute in small batches, mix with hot water if possible and you’ll be able to finish coat with some nice thinned down bucket mud same day. Or 20 all the way if you’re doing small repair jobs, learn how to “wet sand” with a good smooth rag and you can knock out a decent size repair and have it painted same day $$$

[@bay9876]

The drill has survived possibly thousands of mixes and keeps right on ticking. Dewalt makes a perfect mixer even if caked all over with drywall mud.

[@jimgill7524]

My dewalt lasted over 15 yrs, when it finally died I bought a Milwaukee cordless.

[@patrickcowan8701]

I've found the 90 not great for taping,you talked muds and adhesive properties, so now I ad a splash of weldbond into the mix and have excellent results.

[@vancouvercarpenter]

Yup. This one is not that great. I skipped the glue this time. Good thing it's a garage!!

[@jusleens]

Could you suggest which Sheetrock is good for taping? I taped 3 corners but now I’m scared it won’t adhere 😰

[@efrainmartinez6442]

Can you use hot mud to skim walls and ceilings.

[@وردانالنادر]

Director, can I use 90 to apply some thickness? Is it solid? Can I mix colors with it or on top of it? I want a material close to Venetian plaster. What do you advise me? Thank you for everything you provide.

[@josedrangel]

Thanks for the videos from Upland California.

[@mikewilliams7288]

Thanks for the video, what’s the elmers glue for?

[@dhammer5645]

@Vancouver Carpenter at least it wasn't 20 min mud you were mixing this time as you were talking to the camera for 5 mins.😉

[@Galganohs]

You'd think, with 4 kids I wouldn't need a video on how to spill water on the floor, but alas, here I am. Lol! Thanks! This helped so much maybe I can finally finish my boys' room with a minecraft block wall.

[@glasshalfempty1984]

Different types of mud confuse me so much. I've heard so many people , I think including you, say that you tape with all purpose mud or a taping mud. And this is the first I've seen somebody mention taping with quickset. So now I'm just even more confused 🙃

[@SAUCE206]

I wish my mud came out this smooth. I do exactly what you do and I always have the chunky clumpy runner special. So annoying…

[@als1023]

Please do an overview of the types to use, for example quickset to tape so one can 2nd coat the same day, vs taping mud. Also a comment below suggests quickset for fiberglass and mesh tape, is this your experience? Thanks as always for another great video!

[@mudlick8186]

That's the whole point of hot mud, you can work on it quickly. If you're repairing a section of wall open from work done, you can often go from open wall to finish coat in one session. Faster mud just means you have to be quick. Just remember, simply because you can work on top in quick successive coats doesn't mean you can paint it right away. There's a lot of water in that wall for a while. I use a lot of hot mud and almost always fiberglass tape or 36" rolls.

[@0530AZTECA]

Have you ever tried mixing topping compound with 5 minute mud? Sands easy and sets up fast. About a 60/40 mix ratio. 60 being topping compound.

[@vancouvercarpenter]

I have. It works well for coating. Wouldn't use it for taping. I also wouldn't trust it not to shrink a little bit more than quick-set.

[@conradcoolerfiend]

interesting. good tip thanks

[@JOSUECISNEROSHR]

Good video brother blessing

[@john.french]

Great video! Whale tail is nice too for camera work

[@milesharlan1]

VC... Please explain why you are using 90 min mud now verse 20min mud verses regular mud for taping?? Just trying understand when & where & timing for using the different types of mud!! Thank you for your Videos. Waiting for your new carpentry Video in the future..Keep up the good work. See you on your next video!!

[@conradcoolerfiend]

making a whole bucket of 20 min mud, it would set up too fast. 20 min mud is good for a small batch in a pan, not a whole bucket full. he is likely using 90 min mud to tape because he wanted to get a first coat on top of the mud in the same day. If you are fine taping one day and doing the first coat the next day, it is more forgiving to use taping mud, or even all purpose mud works. they are more forgiving because they dont set up on you so you can mess around with it longer if you are beginner. also, taping and AP mud its easy to sand if you left too much mud on the wall. Sanding quick set muds is not fun. by the way, if you use paper tape, any kind of mud works to apply it. if you are using mesh or fiberglass tape, you must use a quick set mud.

[@milesharlan1]

@@conradcoolerfiend thank you..It would nice if Ben went into more details on a video of when to use which mud to do a specific task to complete the room...His timing of when to use which mud..Thanks again..

[@conradcoolerfiend]

@@milesharlan1 he does have a vid on it... its called DIFFERENT TYPES OF DRYWALL MUD. but its not 100% clear so i agree, a comprehensive video on when to use which type of mud and why, would be a really great video.

[@stephenbrickwood1602]

does lemon juice slow down setting with out causing harm???

[@jcampbell2150]

My favorite channel! Keep up the great work!!!

[@tedmcdonald3377]

Love my 5 minute mud 😎😍😎😍😎

[@timothycarry]

help, what do you do with the cleaning bucket of water? It has harden compound pieces etc. so probably not down the drain.

[@bigbikerjohn64]

Please do wear a mask; we want to see more videos from you :-)

[@cwrowe]

Good video

[@conradcoolerfiend]

ben, not even using the contractor's mask right below his chin! ;)

[@1sttigertiger426]

How do you dispose of the mix water used to clean tools? ...down the drain?

[@robvanharen81]

Best trow it out on the lawn or bushes or something. Flushing it down the toilet or sink will eventually clog up your pipes, there quick set will become hard even under water.

[@JoeyStalin]

Why are those hung vertically?

[@lukeblackford1677]

I thought you had to add glue to quickset for taping.

[@Token_Civilian]

Feather the right amount of mud mix into the bucket......

[@damiantaylor4961]

rollin in vancouver

[@TapelessDrywallFinishing]

👍

[@eggsoups]

Nice

[@kevinbenedict5443]

Its slake, and that little tab thingie is actually a little spout. If you unfold the upper corner of the bag just so, you can pull out the little spout. But truthfully...its pretty useless....always gets clogged!

[@lesanderson6276]

I already know homeboy.

[@Tehcarp]

term is slake it rhymes with rake

[@superiorbeing95]

Why is he a carpenter if all he does is drywall?

[@HBSuccess]

Slake not slack, but close lol.

[@olafbigandglad]

Slake, pronounced slayk.

[@jamesmcinnis208]

An "actual" bucket.

[@Tbird761]

Does anyone wear a mask for mixing this stuff in practice? Asking for honest context here on how paranoid I should be as an infrequent DIYer.

[@Caliber701]

Been doing this for 30 years never worn a mask

[@vinoythomas4292]

First

[@bakerrr333]

If you’re gonna make a tutorial you really should be wearing a mask when you mix dry ingredients.
