I'm a complete novice and remodeling my bathroom. Just started hanging the drywall on the ceiling by myself. Urghh hard as heck and had to cut my sheets in half just to handle it. But I messed up with gaps and with factor ends meeting cut ends. It is so hard! I cried half the day yesterday. But your videos give me hope that I can do this! And finish this project! I adore you! Thank you for all you do.

[@mj-ls7qr8xp3n]

Hanging a ceiling is a pain for the guys too. I know that feeling, but next time you handle drywall, you'll know more. ;) And the kilted guy rocks. -)

[@flagmichael]

My daughter has done a walkthrough on the house she is buying... same concerns. For nearly all my life I have avoided drywall work as being too exotic; this channel made me see it is within my abilities.

[@chrisreynolds2410]

This guy speaks the truth…..I’m very good at this and he is 200% spot on. If you have no direction in life or making shit money…….spend bout $100 on knives from home depot and start your mudding career or use some of the deposit money on tools if you are broke broke or get them from the kilted guys link. Either ways folks with $100 worth of tools and the guidance from this dude you would be on the fast track to making $. Pay attention to what you are doing and have some pride and the balls to believe in yourself and learn where and when you can along the way.

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

Thanks I appreciate that. I’m actually putting together a very thorough set of Drywall courses for beginners, intermediate, and professionals. I know without a doubt that anyone taking the courses will greatly improve their speed, quality, and of course profit at the same time.

[@JL-ze5qm]

This guy works in bare feet! That's so badass! Great video, thank you. I was confused about when to pre-fill and when not to, and this video explained perfectly. Gaps larger than an eighth inch, cut edges (not factory edges) abutting need pre-fill, damaged corners, etc. Don't ever leave loose paper. Got it. Use number 45 drywall mud compound, aka 'hot mud'. Cheers!

[@raystanczak4277]

I feel a whole lot more more confident after watching how this is done. First, I learned how to prep the mud-clean water, cover your dry bucket, and which tools I need. This is not hard IF you do it right. Now it’s time for my own blooper reel, because just when you think it’s not that hard....

[@kerirobicheaux6629]

“They” say, if someone makes it look easy it’s because they’re a master.

[@barron7669]

Integrity, First, service Before Self, Air Power!!! You're an awesome Istructor.

[@Krunch2020]

Re-using the wash water makes 90 minute mud into 30 minute mud. Comes in handy when topcoating the same day since all of your joints will be equal hardness. If you set the tape in hot mud and topcoat with topping as soon as it hardens it can save a day.

[@resurgensix]

As a fellow Scottsman and renovator/HVACR guy, kudos brother! Your advice here is incredibly valuable!

[@kenl2861]

Great video! I’ve done a lot of joints as a homeowner, first I’ve ever heard about pre-filling. I would fill, and tape straight away. Thanks for sharing!

[@manoftherock49]

Great video and informative. I’ve drywalled over 40 years and always appreciated a good taper or plasterer behind us. There was one spot where a screw was close to the broken edge . I would add another about 2 inches back just to be safe . But great videos . I enjoy watching quality workmanship!

[@inscrutianaII]

Thanks. I carried forward some framing mess and even used a different thickness in a spot due to time constraints. This clarified how to minimize the debt going forward.

[@DavidSmith-tw7bw]

Loves your videos. I work on high end kitchen and bathroom renovations in Florida typically alone and have used a lot of your experience on drywall repair with my own experience and it has really improved my A game. Looking at this video reminds me of why I hate others hanging my board, this one isn’t to bad but my biggest thing I tell hangers is never gap my inside corners or make recessed to but joints if possible.

[@jwil4905]

Recessed to butt joints aren't that big of a deal and not that hard to finish. They're also unavoidable if you don't want to waste a lot of board.

[@DavidSmith-tw7bw]

J Will: I typically hang from top down so that the cut is behind baseboards eliminating any possibility of that happening. I would agree that if you are patching in an area large or small then yes it could occur. Also when mudding recessed to recessed you can almost always do final finish in 2 coats vs 3 but that also depends on quality of finish performed. What works for me may not work for you and vice versa.

[@jwil4905]

@@DavidSmith-tw7bw A top-down hang is key on larger areas, for sure. And of course taper to taper is much easier to finish, but a 2 coat finish is tough if it's going to be visible.

[@3480eric]

Exceptional advice. Using the real life examples is much more helpful than using a flat front of a drywall board. Definitely my new go to site for drywall advice. I’m still far from perfect but getting better. Thanks for the help.

I found your show a while back and you seem like a guy a might have worked with in the past. That’s why I like your show. No BS! Just some great time tested ideas that you’ve willing to share. I appreciate it. I’m a carpenter but have never been the best finisher with mud. At least not very efficient. Looks good when I’m done but takes sooooo long. I’m definitely going to look back at past episodes to check out more tips. Thanks again!

[@lonthrall5613]

Thanks for all these instructional videos! I've changed up my methods and now incorporate prefilling with hot mud. Oh. BTW, I was wearing similar "shoes" when I dropped my orbital sander on my little toe. Still healing... Again, thank you!

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

You are so welcome!

[@xXbakacoconutXx]

This was JUST the video I needed! I'm repairing the walls of a 1970's house, and every joint is HORRIBLE lol. I just dug out all the mud and layers of tape from a cracked butt joint, and found one layer of tape, one layer of MESH tape, and another layer of tape over a huge gap! It looks like the prefilled it, as I had to scrape it all out, but the gap is about a half an inch, AND one side is more recessed than the other. Nasty work all around lol. I'm hoping I can get it prefilled right this time so it doesn't end up just cracking on me again in the future!

[@shoshonehayes3074]

Sounds like the problem I have right now. What did you prefilled with?

[@johncaudle6703]

Still waiting for you to do a video using the hawk and trowel, alot of areas only use pan and knife so it would be helpful to alot of guys that don't know the benefits of using a trowel, thanks again, and keep up the good work....👍

[@InTime-x3j]

I never finished drywall before I was just muscle in the past hanging it or unloading trucks and bringing it into a house. Im retired and have all the time in the world and I fixed a bunch of holes in my home and matched textures. I scared myself on how well I did. I wouldnt even want to do this for a living. Most anyone can do this type of work. I watched videos on utube and learned. I made a few mistakes at first on how much water to mix in the mud at what point in the process you are at. Its not hard and learn from your mistakes. God Bless and take care.

[@everettwhite9874]

Your video did help a lot. Thanks a lot. I’m a DIYer and I surprised myself that I was actually doing what you recommended. Well, everything except using the handle to flatten out the slight ridges.

thanks for showing some of the common obstacles that I will face as I start to mud my drywall in. I was wondering how to go about working with some of the broken edge pieces. You answered all my questions. thanks again.

[@Keith_KC8TCQ]

used to do a lot of prefilling, especially in garages where the ceilings were around 9-10 feet, there was usually a 1-2 ft rip in the middle of the wall, where paper joint met cut joint, much easier to tape and finish those when they are prefilled Used a LOT of durabond (hot mud) we taped with a bazooka, but I preferred to run bed coats and top coats on joints by hand. We always used durabond for bed coat and Plus 3 for top coat. I could mix 2 buckets of durabond, run both buckets, and have my tools clean and both buckets cleaned out ready to mix next batch before the first bucket's mud started to set

[@cporter1775]

Just pre filled 300sq ceiling yesterday, trying something new today, to tape the 4 ft edge butt seam with homemade 5 3/4 in wide 3/4 ply with about 1 3/4 degree bevel cut centered giving a pocket for tape filling. Thank you for information

[@Rob_1776]

Finally someone that has shown! How to do Butt joint next to a recessed edge! I always wondered how you technically, one was supposed to do that! I'm pretty decent at hanging drywall! But my finishing needs way, more practice! It's not that I couldn't learn to finish drywall! I just don't really get much practice at it!

I’ve watched a bunch of your videos and they’re helpful! Thank You! I live in a 1950s house with textured drywall walls everywhere. As I work thru improvements, there are lots of imperfections I find - lifting drywall paper, poor patching, hole to patch. I want to redo my baseboards and trim, so while I’m doing that, what is the sensible thing to do about the drywall? A) deal with one problem at a time with patching B) tear out and redo C) just sell the house and move to a rental D) something else Appreciate your advice! Jaime (she)

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

I would just repair it all at the Same time. But you might start a little at a time.

[@lonniebrewster9430]

I’ve been doing Drywall work for 35+ years and that pre-filling definitely a step you can skip unless it’s a 1/2 inch or wider and then you probably need to recut a piece of Sheetrock and do it over .

[@rogercarlton4087]

Thanks for the information. I just bought a new house and the builders used a bunch of scrap pieces to do the basement. It's an unfinished basement but they could of used better sheets. Anyways I have to fix and finish it now so thanks for the tips!

[@georgevalente4223]

Durabond is not for the novice. It is a special purpose mud for filling large areas. It is more of a cement...IT DOES NOT SAND. I use it for large or deep holes...sometimes with fiberglass tape then finish coat with easysand.

Vee butt joints with a sharp utility knife. Keep a small sharpening stone or medium grit diamond stone on hand to keep the utility knife sharp. Utility blades dull pretty quick. He is so right that getting a solid base is important for the tape. Prefill gives you that solid base.

Alot of us run hot mud 90min for taping roctape and paper internals with a banjo no pre fill needed if you run excess mud use your wipe down left overs to fill broken corners you come across and big gaps makes strong joins and super fast especially if alot of prefill is needed, the great thing about plastering is there's a tone of products tools and techniques to get the job done how you like, we also use shoes 😉
