How to Tape Drywall with a SuperTaper!

[@matthewmurphy5052]

Hi Matthew Murphy Here.. I'm a Flooring / Trim and Finish carpenter. Tile ext. in Charlotte, North Carolina. I've Been doing construction and carpentry for 30 years, occasionally some small drywall work, but I'm NOT a Drywall Guy. I've recently been working on a huge house restoration job, and hadto install a 36 ft. bay window. All drywalled, no casing with only a bottom sill. I found Your video's on installing and mudding Edge bead , and taping to be extremely helpful. I just wanted to say THANK YOU VERY MUCH BEN. You helped make My job much easier. We are all very Fortunate to have You here. May You and Your Family, and Your Crew Be blessed. Please keep doing what Your're doing. Your Video's are Great.

[@itaintrocketscience]

You show all your mistakes and that makes you an honest dude. Nothing worse than a guy that shows only perfection. All of us carpenters make mistakes Thumbs up, dude!

[@masterlee4370]

I love video's that are down to earth and real like this one. True Story: I did a bedroom ceiling 10 years ago. It looked so bad I decided to popcorn it to hide the imperfections. For 10 years that ceiling was a thorn in my side. Then I came across your site and as I watched more and more of your videos I became brave enough to try again. It took me about 2 weeks by myself, but man it looks like a professional did it. My daughter actually came home to visit this past week-end and I showed her the bedroom. She asked me who did I hire to do it. It was then that I told her I learned it all from "Vancouver Carpenter" My son is "The Cajun Ninja" on You Tube and Face Book so I know how important it is to have supporters. Thank you so much for all your videos. I am a supporter for life!

Don’t really miss it too much either have a great day 👍

[@m.k.1015]

As a self proclaimed professional, in order to guarantee adhesion, you have to say SLAP every time to slap the tape on your joints. Saying SLAP in your head is acceptable but less effective.

[@mikesch7672]

What about making the person filming say it with him? Twice the "SLAP", twice the adhesion?

I'm been a drywall finisher since 1997. I've been a drywall Foreman in companies in states from Colorado to Maine. I owned my own business and used all the taping tools except this one. At only 45 I'm having a little trouble dealing with the physical demands that drywall has on your body. I think I'm going to try this method. I won't be having to hold the weight of a banjo or a bazooka out in front of me. I also hate having to deal with a broken bazooka on a job that needs to be done ASAP. Well that's all jobs. Also if you want some advice from someone that's been a drywall finisher for 25 year then this is what I can tell you. Everyone is the best drywall finisher after two years of doing it. Just ask them. They will tell you that they are. Truth is you can always learn something that can make your life as a drywall finisher easier. Just when I think I seen and done it all I learn something new. Thanks for the videos.

[@beng9868]

[@claudews529]

Finally I tried your bucket method last week, and I saved a lot of time. Works great ! Note 1: coating a long run of tape was fine for flat wall surfaces, but for corners & ceiling (without stitls, roller and ....), I needed to coat shorter runs of tape, otherwise the mud would set too much before I had time to scrape the joints. Note 2: on smaller jobs, the incovenient, for me, with your columbia tape mudder, is the big quantity of mud to mix. Which leaves me with half bucket of liquified mud. I use a cheaper and simpler mudder (tape buddy) which allows me to mix smaller amount of mud. OHHH and your "SLAP" method.... yeahhhh....That will take care of my swearing while taping the ceilings... Thanks. :D Great vid. :)

[@curtisbme]

If you have any other projects, you should try something like Perfect 90 for the corners. Higher quality and quicker (when not using pro equipment).

[@claudews529]

@@curtisbme Hey Curtis, thx for taking the time to write your suggestion. But I fail to see how P90 would save me time, as I probably would have to apply a coat of mud on both sides of corners, THEN apply the P90. (Considering that the P90 is probably thinker and would not work well in the mudder). But I'd probably use something like the P90 in corners which have a wider angle than 90 degrees. And to be honest, of all the types of tape I have worked with, paper is still my preference. I always get very nice results (eventhough it's only 20% of my day work). Regards

[@curtisbme]

@@claudews529 If you are using that mudder, then no, it probably won't work will with that. I've certainly no experience with that combo though I am now curious how well it would work... I was mentioning it as you commented about needing to do the corners in smaller batches as it is drying out. I like it for the work I've done simply due to the quality. Straightness, strength and easy of finishing without tears or wrinkles.

[@claudews529]

@@curtisbme Hey Curtis... no worries. I understood in your first reply that it wasn't clear that it's part of my job, which is, simply put, stripping down to the bone kitchens and bathrooms in old apt buildings, and rebuild to modern (current) "standards", from A to Z. So I'm equiped with tools for all fields, but to a certain point. Back to the P90, it's obvious to me that for an home owner it would make things easier to use P90, with better end results. Hope that clarifies things, Again, thank you for the suggestion. I like to hear other perspectives. :)

Nice job, I use the same method, I use a mud box (hopper), pull my tape through, into my bucket, depending on the project, I’ll put the tape on my butts, but the majority of it is just on my angles. I’ll come by after I get my bottoms done, and flush them out. I put my angles in by hand, one side on my 2nd coat, other side on my finish coat. I prefer this method, as much tape as my bucket holds, I can get tons done and flushed out. To avoid getting my clothes full of mud, I’ve been wearing a painting suit. Nice job man. Keep it up.

[@MolloRelax]

I've used the super taper a little bit, it is a nice ,uncomplicated tool too. The best part of it is that ,more than one person can used it at once. I noticed you lay the tape from left to right, doing the slap thing...just like me, but when comes the wiping part; I am left handed, you are right handed. When tackling the angles; I find it somewhat quicker to use the tube applicator with the angle applicator head to put the mud on, then use my taping spool to apply the dry tape into the angle. To be honest too, I have much less trouble tearing dry tape than a wet one. Another observation; If you ever had the strap from your stilts slip off the end of your foot, just tie them in an X fashion if the strap length is adequate . It will NEVER happen again. You do great work man...keep it up. I'm also doing my best in that field...one province over

[@Odelay5]

I am so happy to see this video. I have been using the Drywall Buddy, which is great. But, I always wish for a method of taping that doesn't require going back to fill the hopper so often.

[@jaxflfreebird]

I watched that kilted guy first and bought a Tape Buddy. I see you made a video fot it as well and the banjo taper. I'm just taping a bathroom and I don't even know if I really need to tape the corners. It was plaster and a ceiling was added I guess on top of the other one. I skim coated the ceiling and used a Level 5 24 inch spreader on an extension pole. That worked pretty well. I did the ceiling twice and I did a basic mudding before those first two coats. I decided I had better tape the corners at the ceiling and down the walls just to be safe. I had removed tape. I'm just learning and trying to figure out how to work with joint compound.

You should get a snare drum sling. Would be a lot easier to get the bucket on and off. A simple over the shoulder one would work. The two shoulder one would hang it right in front like you have now.

Another great vid. Between all the slapping and reach arounds, you might be able to market this vid on a few "other" channels too ;)
