ONE DAY DRYWALL PATCH!!!

So glad to find your videos. I'm divorced and having to learn how to do repairs around here on my own. You can't imagine how much this helps! Thank you!

I’m doing a couple of patches tomorrow. Totally hiding my leftover quickset in the wall. I’ve been carrying it out in a box like a chump! 😛

Thank you for all your tip on drywall repairs and new installation. I'm just an 80 year old guy who decided to DIY remodel my bathroom. I don't think I could have done it without your help. Thank again young man

[@r.cycler6738]

LOL, I started with 45 minute, ended up using 90 minute. Drywall is about my worst DIY skill but been learning from you during COVID. They call it Easy Sand 90 in Home Depot down here in the States. And thank you for showing me how to clean my gear and keep a bucket of water handy. You're an awesome teacher.

[@BCIronThunder]

Great videos. I'm finding them very helpful.

[@single94supra]

Im FAR from a pro, just renovate a few rentals as I buy them. As an amateur I find if I do 99% of my work with quick set (I use usually 20 min) and the last coat is a super super thin skim layer of all purpose, it seems so much easier for me. I think its because the average DIY person has a hard time keeping the coat even over a wide span, I know I do. A little thin in one area using all purpose may dry and shrink and look like poop compared to a slightly thicker area or visa versa. I think that coupled with the average user cant mix each batch quite as good or when we mix a batch that is the same(using a scoop for mud and a cup for water), we probably dont have the perfect thickness like you pros can get, every time. I enjoy your videos and have used them a TON. The above just seems to be what I have learned. Thanks for the videos!

[@jayjudd6518]

Boy you got gray in the hair. Still like your still.

[@jonathanolmos5388]

Amazing work! I have watched a lot of your videos and they have been helping me a lot. I've done drywall now for a few years and even after watching your videos, I learn something knew. Thanks for the tips!

[@PeteBarta]

If you do 2-3 coats of setting plus an all purpose skim, can you paint the next day? Or do you need to wait several days for all the layers to dry completely?

[@mollymikna9354]

I usually wait 48-72 hours on a small patch area like 12x12", for example

[@aeniman]

Thanks for the video, man! My first time working with joint compound (only spackled tiny holes before) for larger holes in plaster. Watching most of your videos re: application of compound, feathering, different tools, etc. really accelerated my confidence. Cheers.

[@vickymartine9799]

Help! I have an old 1970’s house in the US and the drywall everyone says is 1/2 inch, it is not. Standard current 1/2 inch is too short, I tired 5/8 inch and it’s too proud. What do you suggest? I have multiple patches from a renter, some are as big a 1 x 2 feet. Do I shim the 1/2 inch up or float over the entire thing. I don’t want it to look terrible and I really don’t want to pay a professional to do it. What do u suggest. All of the spots are on the walls , no ceiling, if that makes a difference. Any help would be greatly appreciated! I love your videos and have even used your recent taping video, dunking the tape in the bucket and it worked like a charm. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos, they really help out a ton!

[@vancouvercarpenter]

Just use 1/2" and pre-fill the whole area with a coat of mud to bring it up to level before taping if you have the time to let it dry. Shimming is more hassle than its worth. As long as what you are installing winds up under the plane of the existing drywall not above it. Its easier to fill an innie than to hide an outy.

What exactly is the topcoat? Is it just ready mixed joint compound? I am buying it at Big Box stores, exactly what is it? Thanks.

[@ParkwoodLane]

I've done a number of these patches and I can still see the (very faint) outline of the patch in certain lighting or from a certain angle. I can't feel any bump if I rub my hand over the area, though. Is that normal and the best that can be done or am I doing something incorrectly?

[@marilynwong9784]

Yes.

[@c.j.1276]

If you shine a hard light at a steep angle across the patch after you’ve mudded it, you can see the problem areas you need to address during sanding. A flashlight can work well also to highlight these areas. You might need to build it out a bit farther than you think you need to.

[@abolit]

thanks for video. what if I only need to make a 4 x 4 in patch on my closet drywall . Quick fix mud is good but should I really buy this huge bag just for occasional use ? Is there any more compact solution? The reason I'm asking for your advise is I've seen some of your videos and you seem to know what's you're doing. Thanks!

You hide Mudd in the walls. My new house someone put their mushrooms down the bathroom sink drain. My drain never worked well and I kept finding this dark stuff coming up everyone few weeks. Several months later I finally realized it was a crap load of mushrooms someone had put in there. Gross

[@vkarabin]

What is hard coating.. I have seen ceilings hard coated that looks just like plaster but it’s not!.. looks better than plaster!!.. how is it done?..like to see a show on it!!!

[@williamp9158]

That wasn't done in half an hour? You'll need to wait for the topping mud to dry for 24 hours and then texture it, wait for it to dry and then paint....

[@ryanchenoweth5673]

Can this same technique be used on ceilings? 🤔

[@vancouvercarpenter]

Yes. No problem.

[@artemjan5441]

Where do you buy Hamilton products in Vancouver?

You're an experienced taper and your videos are great. But I don't understand why you love Hamilton mud so much. Easy sand is so much smoother, no lumps.

[@vodjarrel]

[@ronaldmorales1368]

dumb question.. why not use that quickset stuff as a finish coat instead of the all purpose stuff ?

Do you have anything on repairing gouges in drywall.

I haven't done that yet. But I have a stairwell that is trashed on a job. It won't be for a few weeks but that's a good idea.

[@raylowe1092]

I have a wall in the living room that is badly damaged by a rocker/recliner just wondering what would be the best way to repair it.

[@vancouvercarpenter]

You will need to carve out the spots that will blister. Gently tap on the wall with your finger and where you can hear a hollower sound you will need to gently score the paper and remove the crumbly drywall and loose paper or it will blister. Once you have done that prep work it should just be two coats of all purpose mud to fill it in. You will be able to see any more blisters after the first coat. Be sure to cut them out and fill before painting. Damaged drywall is kind of a pain to repair.

[@jonathanjones770]

I like to make a mud pie with plaster of paris and all purpose on a mixing board. Much easier clean-up. Nice job, though

[@huejanus5505]

Apples in Mono I do the same. Doesn't shrink, can use the knife to smooth it in a few minutes and put a finish coat on it shortly after. I don't like having to carry 10 different kinds of fillers with me everywhere.

[@GarwoodNick]

Pan mixer is the best. I have The Whip and I would never go back to mixing by hand. But The Dan-O Mini-Mixer looks even more useful 'cause it works in an impact driver which is invariably the tool that was just used to screw the patch to the wall.

[@OldJoe212]

@@tommyknox7496 Had a neighbor who couldn't grow an evergreen at one corner of her house. It would grow for a couple of years then die. Found out the drywallers dug a hole and dumped the excess plaster/mud there. The alkalinity would kill the tree as soon as the roots would hit the mud. I found several chunks of plywood buried about 8" down where I wanted to put a garden. You're right, contractors hide stuff.
