No exaggeration, this guy has seriously got to be one of the best finishers in the world. Amazing how he fills the bead almost flat in one pull without any mud curling off the edge and falling on the floor.

[@tonyr8443]

Looks so easy when you've got 10- 15 years experience doing the same thing over and over. When you're at that level, only then you can be called a PRO and these guys proves it.

[@sabino8378]

You don't have to go to a museum. This is it. ART to the finest. Excellent job, my friend.

[@cameronluangrath]

Please do a cornice install video with these guys !!!

[@jstorres486]

I’ve seen hundreds of videos and that filling in first is the first time I saw that… u made it more simple for us.. thank u

[@jimgill7524]

100% agree on the product the painters using making us look good or bad. And dude can really lay mud👍 cheers from canada

[@kidjetrecon7153]

I would hire anyone of you . It’s amazing I’m doing drywall every day getting home watching drywall videos. I have issues 😂

[@dimiliquid6357]

U r an amazing team!!! Love so much to see u working..

[@jerseyjim9092]

I've tried to transition to primarily using a hawk and trowel but I don't think I do enough to ever really get comfortable with it so I'm sticking with knife and pan or knife and hawk for most things. It's just so much more user friendly for the occasional taper/finisher.

[@KennethCherisol]

Makes that look so easy.

[@saiahandymanmaitenance936]

Thanks a lot mate. Your the professional in the world. Without you I still used the old style. May God bless you on what you do .

[@Revival85]

for the people outside of australia (US/CANIDA) we dont use pre mix base coat in aus, we mix the mud ourselves,, so we can gauge how thick or thin we want it by adding more of less water, thats why it doesnt go everywhere when we apply it

[@carlcox7332]

We mix water here in the US too. It just comes really thick in the bucket or boxes and you have to thin down depending on what your doing. It's way too thick straight from the bucket tho. The only dry they have where I'm at is the hot mud like the 5, 20, 45, and 90 minute compounds

[@carlcox7332]

It's a lot faster to thin down premix than it is to mix from dry powder. I do remodels so I use a ton of 20 minute dry compound. It also lets me do multiple coats in a single day. The only time I really use the premix is on really large jobs and for my texture and thin finish coats

[@saiahandymanmaitenance936]

Can you please do another video how you mix your mud for corners and finish code . If you can will be much appropriate. Thanks

[@shehabnoyon4817]

Good

[@twoserve2449]

The mud looks thick but they work it real easy!

It's sheetrock easy sand 45 it's light and fluffy really good mud to work with

[@twoserve2449]

@@drywallgangsters, here in California we have a couple different products, one is plus 3, its light and easy to sand

[@drywallgangsters]

Sierv is it a premix or a powder bag that gets mixed with water? Our one is a powder that you mix with water

[@twoserve2449]

@@drywallgangsters , its a pre-mixed that comes in a box, but we still have to add a bit of water, and it takes about 12 hours to be able to do a second hand

[@drywallgangsters]

Sierv oh yeap we use hotmud to tape unless the job is huge than we might use a premix

[@TW-nm3pk]

Hey, do you use a straight or curved trowel, and do you use the same one for all coats?

[@Sean-Aviation]

excellent work and fast. well done. what size trowel and knife were you using? trowel looks small in the video.

[@meangreen7389]

Right off the bat, the only word I recognized/understood was the heavy equipment manufacturer “CAT” on your shirt. But honestly you are very skilled in your profession and was wondering if you pre-filled joints. If so, what hot mud or mix do you used? Thanks for sharing.

[@googglekonto7741]

Hay.what knife nd trowel is that.can't see.too dirty

👍

[@nguyenthanhtrucxzcst7115]

Could you please tell me how long does it take you to be that good be .

[@boazblubstein5831]

Hey, what brand and model do you use in trowel and big taping knives ?

[@ivank7791]

Quick mud or? You should do an episode on what tipe of mud you use and when From joints to finish Great work

[@drywallgangsters]

Sheetrock easy sand 90 minutes (45 minute if it's a small job) for all taping and sheetrock easy sand 45 for first coat on all beads and we use sheetrock total lite for 2nd coat and 3rd coat. Basically if you see us using white mud that's a powder mixed with water and goes hard in the time thats on the bag (45 or 90). The yellow is a premix mud that is air drying not chemically set like the white mud.

[@brentm7997]

@@drywallgangsters So you guys don't 2nd coat with base coat?

[@drywallgangsters]

Brent M no we just press tapes and fill them with base using a 6" and trowel or knife as we go but our 10" box is all purpose and then 12" all purpose

[@ismu34]

@@drywallgangsters I've got to try them some time, we've been using standard base cote 90 and final cote

Hi! Can you come over?! Lol I started a skim coat project, to cover up an outdated texture, that I’m overwhelmed with. Lol

Yeah sure

[@jamescornelison938]

Do you use a curved trowel or flat? In my part of the USA we mostly use pan & knife.

U sand inbetween each paint coats , walls and trim

[@thatfishindude5459]

The mud work is truly impressive! However, who ever did that tile work needs to be shot!

[@loreec90]

Why do you use nail on bead,Is it because the hangers install beads because the finishers don’t know how? Metal tape on is a superior product. With tape on you don’t waste time packing the bead before you coat

[@sanelechadwick]

Hey bro, what Marshalltown trowels are the boys using?

[@drywallgangsters]

Not sure what what they're called they're stainless steel and have a redish pink handle. Just any stiff trowel is good for first coat so you don't pull to much out you want it as flat as possible if you're using base so your other costs go on thin

[@sanelechadwick]

@@drywallgangsters Chur boys! Love your work 🔥You make it look too easy 👌

[@drywallgangsters]

Sanele Chadwick thanks bro hope that helped!

Are you guys using curved trowels?

Great finish work some of the best I've ever watched, but the floor tile holy shit that's ugly

[@leroychavez4113]

Are you always going to have a slight hump in the center of the butt joint.

[@PhuNguyen-pc6cr]

The bead is so nice and straight but you spend 25 movements for 1 side of the bead is to much, with 6 movements you can finish one side.

[@williamferguson7234]

[@remake74]

Hello, I've been watching your channel for a long time and I'm surprised if your quality is not checked? or is it ok? It's just that we have a good repair in Russia, these are 90 ° angles, the geometry of the whole house is in millimeters, we completely stretch drywall with a finishing putty, or we glue the fiberglass and putty then paint. perforated corners (these are glands at the corners we call that), you just put them on and it sticks out by 3 millimeters and stretches 15-20 cm already there is no 90 ° angle. we either cut it out once under them and set it to 90 ° or stretch at least 1 meter, show me your gypsum board under an angle light please in the next video, is it perfectly flat? Thank.

Its not a perfect 90 degrees. It feathers out. Its not noticeable to the eye. Same as putting tape over a butt joint. The joint will be raised because of the tape and mud over top but using a wide joint, it feathers out to a point where it isn't noticeable to the eye.

[@matthewpore3157]

I wasn't 5 seconds in & found 2 problems. Only 2 but kind of an important 2.... Let me help those who think this is " The best finisher in the world " lol.... The corners aren't taped and that my friends is drywall 101

@@Maxkil ok the other thing is the hanging. It's awful. Besides those corners need to be taped... Firecode, or maybe that isn't a concern for you? I bet if it was your personal home they we be taped. Just saying
