If you don't have specialty primer, wood glue works well too. Thinly spread the wood glue over the brown paper, let it dry and cure, rough it up a bit, then you can mud and paint as usual. If you're doing a small repair, people are way more likely to have wood glue on hand than specialty primer. As a complete novice trying to repair the wall damage from a really terrible "professional" vanity installation, I had like 15 square inches of damaged brown paper, and this worked a treat, no bubbling at all.

Agreed. Zinsser RED Label Shellac is the GO-TO product for this and a perfect primer for all cabinets and wood. You should let people know that it is not water based-Denatured alcohol is it's solvent. (not isopropyl or rubbing alcohol). I was on a job once, where another professional painter threw Red Label down a client's kitchen sink, right through the disposal. ( I would never put any paints down a sink. Period) Then she ran water through it. By the time I figured out what she had done, yelling "IT IS NOT WATER BASED!" I threw an entire gallon of Denatured alcohol down the sink to chase it. Fortunately, disaster was avoided...but in the "long term" I honestly do not know how it turned out.

I bought some Roman pro 999 RX 35 because when i called zisner they told me they dont make a product that is designed to seal torn drywall paper. I havnt used it yet. I cant remember a specific time i had to repair over torn paper but i know in 30 years of building and remodeling i have encountered it. I never searched around trying to find out how to fix it. Im sure i cleaned it up best i could. Primed it and put mud on it. Ive never had a call back on any job for my work failing but after being out of the loop for several years i started watching youtube videos and got scared i was doing something wrong. I figured technology has changed so maybe drywall and mud has too. I dont know if i just got taken or if i just got lucky for 30 years. I figure the rx35 is prob better than just a primer coat but like i said my old way never failed me. Good video. I wish i had seen it before i searched the world over for the rx35 they are so proud of money wise

David, you are absolutely right. Sealing the paper is not the way, just a way. Like you, I had fixed many a drywall repairs (torn paper) with just mud. It always worked and I always received a nice finished product... but it never failed that I would get that errant bubble of the paper and I’d have to fight it to get the job done. With sealing the paper I’m able to complete the job quicker, with less chance of bubble or stray paper. When I had my handyman business, and now as a builder I’ve got to have quick ways to get each job done so I can move to the next. Thanks for watching

Ive mudded over entire walls like this many times , it does bubble up in places but then i slice the ripples or bubbles down the middle with a sharp razor knife so the moisture from the compound can get inside the dry area of the bubbles and when it drys it will suck the bubbles down .Then i sand it all them broom off the majrity of the drywall dust then go back over it with a second coat of mud thinned down with just a touch of water ,then i let it dry overnight or use a big fan for a couple hours then go over it with a 220 sanding screen then broom it down or use a shop vac with a brush attachment to get as much drywall dust as possible off the walls then i prime the drywall then paint it, The key is getting that first coat of mud mixed right on the first coat so it wets the paper just enough. my master bedroom was entirely covered with 2 layers of old wallpaper. i sprayed California knockdown texture over the walls. 15 years and it still looks perfect, could use some paint now to freshen it up

After the primer you are ready to skim with drywall mud. A lightweight drywall compound is easier to sand, but takes longer to dry.

Not trying to sound condescending here but I’ve seen some pretty bad repair jobs and the following tips will not help a bad repair. However based on your statements it seems like you took care of business… totally normal for the repair area to take the primer/topcoat differently. The drywall repair spot is a sponge…it will soak up the primer/paint. Use a good quality primer. You can even use the BIN primer I talked about. On big repair jobs I use a PVA primer. Even with the primer, the areas of repairs will look a little different. Primer is usually a flat and dull paint. By itself it is porous. However, the first topcoat of paint will seal the primer and then the second coat will match the surrounding areas (as long as you matched the paint) go ahead and plan on 2 coats of paint.

With exposed drywall, remove any loose material. Priming the exposed chalk (the actual drywall) don’t really matter. Depending on the size of the area, you can use 20 minute, 45 minute, or 90 minute mud to fill the area back to smooth. If it is a large area you may need to consider cutting out the damaged area and making a patch repair (with a new piece of drywall)

You want something that will seal the paper. I don’t like paint for this. Maybe an oil based paint, but sticking with some type of oil/shellac based primer to penetrate and quickly seal the paper

What do you do if you put spackling over the drywall paper and now you have bubbles? How do you fix it?

I’ve cut the bubbles out and then primed and then re-coated with mud.
