Russ I just found your channel, great content! Thank you so much for taking the time to show us amateurs the proper way!

[@RussOlinatzPaintShow]

Hi Thank you for your nice message! I’m just showing the way I do it and there is many more ways. Where you from? Russ

[@rolftaylor971]

helpful. why use hot water please?

[@RussOlinatzPaintShow]

Hot water makes the mud set faster!

[@rolftaylor971]

better for ceiling work I am guessing @@RussOlinatzPaintShow

[@DanielinLaTuna]

Thanks for taking the time to share. This was an excellent demonstration. I had an intuition that plaster of Paris could be used in the ready mix mud

[@RussOlinatzPaintShow]

Yes it’s like joint compound on steroids!

[@dragonladyhs75]

You are a very good teacher! Tinting the plaster was a great idea! Otherwise, it could of been hard to see. Well done!

[@RussOlinatzPaintShow]

Hi Thank you! Yes it’s much easier to see when tinting. Then last coat switch back to white compound and you can see where indentures still are Russ

Beyond helpful. Thank you so much for posting this.

[@RussOlinatzPaintShow]

Thanks! You have a similar repair?

[@davidbivens5375]

Wow! Excellent thank you for making this video. I am positive my wall repair will not be close to as clean as yours but I’ll try.

[@RussOlinatzPaintShow]

Thanks! Let me know how you make out?

[@davidbivens5375]

@@RussOlinatzPaintShow it came out great. I made more of a mess than you - much more actually :) but once I got it sanded down it looks great and seems really solid with the plaster mixed in.

[@RussOlinatzPaintShow]

@davidbivens5375 Awesome! The plaster of Paris is Great! Where u from?

I’m replacing a 2’x3’ area of plaster. Can I follow your directions for this? My wall is textured so I’m not concerned about a flat, smooth surface. Do I need to worry about the wall cracking down the road? Do I need to used drywall tape?

[@RussOlinatzPaintShow]

Hi No this is for small holes. Replace with new drywall piece and tape and float with Quik set mud! Russ

Great video! Thank you so much!

Thanks Jesse!

[@seamuswarren]

Brilliant! Is the joint compound essential? By the way, I once had a tin of pink-tinted ceiling paint that turned white as it dried. I have been unable to find more of this paint. The temporary tint was useful.

[@RussOlinatzPaintShow]

Yes the joint compound gives the plaster of Paris mix a nice consistency to spread. The paint u are referring to is Zinsser Ceiling Paint. Another one is Glidden Ceiling Paint. These 2 paints can be found at Lowes and Walmart. Where u from?

[@Linkquish]

Could you just use joint compound without the plaster of Paris and be okay?

[@RussOlinatzPaintShow]

No use a setting mud. Apply this right before it sets and it won’t move anymore. It will still be wet but solid. If u use All Purpose mud, gravity will pull it out of hole.

[@briancaulfield1524]

Thanks 🙏

[@RussOlinatzPaintShow]

Thanks Brian!

[@Farner49]

Great video If you were doing a inside corner that has a gap running along it would you just pack the gap with plaster or would you use a corner bead of some type? I also asked this same question to ya on Instagram hoping for a faster reply not sure which you look at more often hope that’s ok Any advice would be greatly appreciated

[@RussOlinatzPaintShow]

Hi Are your walls plaster or drywall? Russ

[@SolitaryMaverick]

What did you use to make the green tint?

[@RussOlinatzPaintShow]

Hi I used food Coloring! Russ

[@mikerico5568]

Mud pie? Is it necessary to have a "mud pie?" Couldn't I just use hot water and plaster of paris?

[@RussOlinatzPaintShow]

Yes! It makes Plaster of Paris perform and spread like joint compound. You can work it with your blades easily. But try to mix it alone and see what happens…
