[@JonnyDIY]

Nice job handy! Next time just pre drill for drywall screws. Can even predrill plaster and then run screws into backer too to speed up process 👍

[@b.powell3480]

I usually drill a pilot hole in the plaster along with construction adhesive, and screw the backer pieces in place, then screw in the drywall patch using a screw driver, not an impact screw gun !

[@chriscolameco6850]

Yeah same, if there's a pocket door id just use 1/2" ply or OSB, and 3/4" screws

[@bryankopesky8228]

Don't be fooled everyone! If you're doing a first class job there are many more things to consider, especially how patient you are and the finesse required doing this work. This is a great skill to have, and to master it, consider practicing at home with different scenarios, methods and materials. Knowing how to handle the knives is key and can only be learned by practice. Anyway, I love doing these repairs! Have fun!

[@shadad7774]

Possible Option for ya... I do drywall repairs all the time around the size your doing here - I do it (pumpkin lid style) I cut the wall edges at a 45 degree angle (with my multi tool now days lol), then cut the patch piece at a 45 inwards angle and pop it in with a little caulk adhesive then (using 5 minute mud) tape/mud etc. works out amazingly every time, over 30 years doing wall patch that way and never a issue down the road. PS Your Repair Does look Great!!

[@PatrickHoodDaniel]

Great job. I probably would have masonry drilled a hole through the first layer, and chamfered the hole, so a countersinking screw could be used which would allow sufficient mechanical hold on the backer boards. Maybe both that technique and the glue together would be a good solution. Removing the bubbles is something I have never see before, so that is really appreciated.

[@BamaBreeze]

Great patch Handyman, HandyOn brother.

[@meyer629]

Hiya Handy!!! I woulda just hung a picture over it and called it good! $500! Lol! Great job as always!!

[@jayman12348]

In a situation like that i would probably just use 1x6 and screw to a more stable part of the old wall. A little 20 min you could have that job done b4 your glue dried.

[@ST-0311]

Yup. 1 x 6 and a little longer. That way you can drive screws 1 1/2 to 2 inches away from that brittle edge. Wouldn't hurt to drill pilot holes with counter sinks either. Good call on the Fibafuse though. I love that stuff, and I'm clueless as to how he got an air bubble under it.

[@jeremyjones8872]

Great job! I would of done afew things dif but i have learned over the yrs in construction,.guys will do jobs dif but the end result is the most important,if it looks great and the customer is happy then thats what counts. ( yrs ago 1of my site supervisors always would want to fire workers if they didnt do it how he did) long story short,he didnt work out!

[@user-tj1rd3vf1c]

I have done something similar on occasion,. but I had longer pieces of wood, screwed through existing drywall to hold the wood in place, and then used that wood to add the drywall patch. Worked oK

[@High_Desert_Tanner]

I would've just Cali patched it in that scenario (limited clearance behind). Plus you could be done with the patch day 1. Come back the next day to sand and paint. It's a LITTLE big of a patch to Cali patch it, but as long as you properly mud the edges of the patch and use hot mud (it's stronger), it'll hold better than that glue will!

[@deannawoody9621]

Great video for women to learn 💯 💯 💯 💯 💯 💯 💯 💯 💯 💯

[@soundscrazy]

Looking good! Have you done a video on a textured ceiling repair before?

[@KableGuyCGY]

I am somewhat of a doctor myself, not a gynecologist but ill have a look. Great video as always handyman

[@chriscolameco6850]

For stuff like that, I use that "RAPID SET ONE PASS" stuff, you can put it on as thick as an inch and it's easier to work with than hot mud. (It only comes in a 20 minute cure time but you can add retardant to slow it down if you need to)

[@chriscolameco6850]

Also for primer they make spray primer that shoots a 12" fan now. Great for quick patches where you're in and out and don't want to break out the paint tools

[@terencemerritt]

6:06 that’s what she said. Screw it in extra further! Good work handy

[@SlayAtHomeDad311]

Thanks !

[@LifeBy10000Cuts]

Could you masonry drilled oversize countersunk holes through the plaster to mount the back boards with screws and not break the plaster? Save a little cure time and not risk the substrate peeling off under the glue?

[@MJ-fh8fw]

Backing the screw out of the wood so the drywall doesn't grab is a great tip.

[@tb-xy7lg]

I have that same drywall/plaster in 2 of my homes. Its a pain to work with. And the plaster does contain asbestos. At least mine does (lab tested) doesnt stop me from messing with it. But just letting others know.

[@brianausban]

Hot glue would work well in that application

[@EricReitzel]

2:05 That what most customers don't understand...Ok that was 20 min...be back tomorrow....Ok that was 20 min, Be back tomorrow.....Ok that was 20 min be back tomorrow on a little patch....Sometimes I'm willing to stand there with a heat gun and shave off a day or two but that patch I would charge $250 if that's all they had and they were close to me.

[@handycrowd]

Yup, small patches are a pain timewise. Fine if there are other jobs to do and you're there for a few days. We don't even have 'fast' compound where I live, that would be a boon 🙂 But as a 'stand alone' business I think you'd end up doing a LOT of running about in between jobs...

[@markb42569]

Couldn't you drill a "larger" hole in the plaster to get down to the drywall layer so that you could sink a screw into the wood strips to hold them better than just glue?

[@Claryshandyman]

200 bucks at least but because I hate drywall work probably more like 250-300 (customers probably wouldn’t take it) but that’s what I would quote

[@QuarterZipBro]

Thanks, brosky

[@celia222]

Have you ever had experience mudding at a house supplied with well water softener? The salt reacts with the mud and I’ve had terrible results.

[@PaulMikna]

Second! Love your channel, handy!

[@billvojtech5686]

Couldn't you have secured the wood bracing with screws if you first drilled holes in the plaster?

[@feyrband]

I would never trust plaster not to blow out or crumble, especially that close to an edge. Not to mention you cant really countersink the head and that can do it even if you pre drill successfully

[@JohnstonPettigrew]

I'll bet that cost close to 56,000$ USD.

[@semperfi5861]

🇺🇸🤘 Heck Yeah Handy Dandy 🤘🇺🇸

[@andreakeeling9217]

I would have screwed a longer board so I could avoid blowing out the plaster.

[@seeszm]

How many trips are you doing for a repair and paint?

[@fornello123]

How long do you let the hot mud dry before priming?

[@michaelchyles]

Big head is still hilarious

[@srharris88]

Gluing the backer board in seems like it would take to long for my liking. Considering its location, being behind a door and up high enough where its unlikely to be damaged. I would have California patched it. Admittedly it wouldn't be quite as strong, but could have it all ready for paint in 1 day. With a fan on it could probably even paint it in one day.

[@evanjarvi406]

HM could u of did a "California" patch instead of wood nailers?

[@TheOriginalMrB]

That would leave a line to the right side since the door is so close to the patch. He doesn’t have enough room to blend and make it invisible. Remember his comment that he wanted to leave it shallow of the other wall so he can fill and blend.. Plus he’s a perfectionist for his customers. In another spot where he has room to work with it better, it would probably be an option though.

[@AdamS-lh2ug]

@@wallyky do you not know what a Cali patch is? It would seem like you don’t.

[@CTRwannaB]

Cali patch 5min mud Several coats Call it a day

[@wallyky]

@@AdamS-lh2ug Yeah, I realized this morning that I mis-spoke. I've done them before, so I don't know what I was thinking. Thanks for gently correcting me!

[@AdamS-lh2ug]

@@wallyky Hey, I’m no expert, just a commercial electrician by trade who likes to dabble in other areas. I mean, I suppose we could argue the structural integrity, as I typically just put in back braces. The few times I’ve had to chew through blades for plaster where a nightmare! I’m sure whomever came in behind me hated me.

[@danbrown3460]

Handyman I’ve always wondered if the tape is supposed to overlap the other tape when you turn a 90 degree corner or do you just butt one into the other?

[@MrDenjok]

I would butt them up . If you overlap them you'll have a really hard time fading it into the original wall cuz you have to use a lot of mud to build up.

[@stuarthaveasnickers165]

The thumbnail makes you look like Mini Me Handyman

[@SlayAtHomeDad311]

Could you have just used mud to fill it in once the drywall piece was installed?

[@jacobb7639]

No. You need to tape to prevent cracking.

[@MikeM-bi5ot]

Would have went west coast on them

[@AdamS-lh2ug]

Nothing like a California patch, right?

[@mohamedbarakat738]

No idea if it would be helpful but would an access panel also be useful?

[@gmjent5671]

Actual drywall guy here more yrs experience than I’m willing to admit That patch would take me an hour start to finish no sanding,paint ready $300

[@chriswolgamuth23]

Can I ask how you are able to get it done in an hour? I assume you would use backing, cut a piece, tape it and fill the whole thing a little over full so it shrinks to the right size using 5 minute mud? Do I have that about right?

[@christopherpcline]

Wouldn't a screw gun be better than an impact for this application? They drive screws so much more smoothly than an impact.

[@AssGaskets]

Absolutely. Is it worth going to get it from the truck? No. lol

[@AdamS-lh2ug]

He says that. As someone who is also an electrician, who carry’s a screw gun? That’s an extra tool. Kinda like who needs a hammer when you have linesman’s?

[@feyrband]

You could pre drill the holes as well. I imagine he was just going with what he had on him or something.

[@christopherpcline]

@@feyrband Sure but in case people don't realize, impacts are not as good for driving screws as a regular drill, especially in cases like this, but in almost every other case as well unless you're using large lag bolts.

[@lil-j-waters]

You would have to make this comment on ten million youtube videos every day for the rest of your life to make a dent in the people who use impact for everything impact go brr
