Sheetrock (drywall) Corner bead repair tutorial

[@clintonjfox]

Thank you Jacob from Israel Contracting! You came in clutch and saved the deposit on my apartment with this.

[@sullivanko1902]

Thank you. Best repair video I’ve come across. Living in a 124 year old farm house with a mish-mash of dry wall and plaster walls, all in need of repair. These little fixes are the kind of small but mighty jobs that will build momentum for larger projects and make the place look less abandoned in the mean time. Edit: autocorrect fail

[@heatherhughes2012]

This is the best drywall repair video I’ve seen so far. Exactly what I needed. Thank you!

[@israelcontracting4059]

Thank you! We are here to help you!

[@spotdogit]

Thanks for sharing this method to repair wall corners.

[@israelcontracting4059]

You are welcome

I appreciate you sharing this tip.

Big like for the Masta Ace instrumental in the back!!! "I'm on the grind"🎶

[@jobobyanker1413]

Absolutely the best video on KZbin! TY!!!

[@ScottTooley]

It makes good sense to use such a large knife on such a small area. All the extra inches of the knife help keep everything straight. Like using a straight edge. Before watching this video, I'd probably suffer with a small knife.

[@sylviaa5343]

Thank you for sharing your talent. I really needed to know how to repair my broken areas. Will you make a video on removing stair carpet and finishing stairs? My carpet is old and I want to remove carpet and finish my stairs. Thank you.

[@brendenplatt5297]

This was an amazing video! Thank you so much!

[@channinglackland6573]

This tutorial was so well done. Thank you.

[@mml1224]

great job i thumbed it, can i get away with joint compound over the corner bead?

[@israelcontracting4059]

Yes. In this video I am using a quick dry (rapid set) joint compound. But regular “all purpose” or “light weight” will work just fine. It just takes longer to dry.

[@zackmccormick5845]

I've never purchased the mud where I have to mix. What do you do with the extra left over? Can you save it for the next coat or make a new batch?

[@Bigmacho90]

Great video. Thank you 🙏🏽

[@henryparrott2447]

Great job 👍 👏

No mesh tape?

[@israelcontracting4059]

No one uses mesh tape over corners down here in the south. I’m originally from Kansas and it is more common up there but we don’t have any issues.

[@rpandocchi]

If you’re working with drywall w/o texture. Would adding mesh tape or butt joint drywall tape be beneficial to place over the corner bead, over the additional nails of course?

[@israelcontracting4059]

mesh tape isn’t necessary but can be used

[@brendahyatt5032]

How to repair the corner that does not have the bead strip?

[@israelcontracting4059]

Either add a corner bead or use paper Sheetrock tape

[@appleztooranges]

What happens if they used aluminum on the corner?

[@billmccluskey6294]

How do I secure the corner bead if there’s no wood behind it. I used 1 1/4” nails but there’s nothing to grab onto. There’s no base plate either.

[@israelcontracting4059]

you can use spray adhesive and a crown staple gun to secure it.

[@billmccluskey6294]

@@israelcontracting4059 Thank you for the reply. I like learning from the pros.

[@jennifer5042]

Hi- is it possible to fix the corner of a wall and paint it in the same day? I’m moving out of my apartment and the movers hit the wall. I want to fix it and not be charged a fortune by my landlord.

[@israelcontracting4059]

Yes a quick set mud (easy sand 20) can be used with fans blowing on it.

[@jennifer5042]

Thank you so much!

[@paulhalliwell1523]

Legend thanks for doing this video!

[@jamers41001]

I keep doing my corners but the metal shows through, is that ok or should it be all the way covered by the mud? Thanks.

[@israelcontracting4059]

A little bit showing is ok if you’re going to texture. Otherwise you have to build up with more mud and sand smooth

[@seyoungchoi1973]

Complete newbie here... What is that stuff you plaster over the wall?

[@israelcontracting4059]

are asking about the texture part? it is a can that can be purchased at most any hardware store. just follow the directions for use.

[@stephenetridge2584]

Favourite actor Denehy

[@christophervaldez7992]

What if the corner is round?

[@MarkNOTW]

Can joint compound be used?

[@israelcontracting4059]

Yes. We used light weight fast dry joint compound. But a regular, pre mixed mud can be used as well. It will just take a little longer to dry.

[@justaguy427]

No primer?

[@henrysmifth536]

Thanks bro Great video

[@raisingjojo6428]

can you do this with spakle?

[@israelcontracting4059]

Yes you can but it will be much harder to smooth out. It will take a bit more sanding but is do-able

[@09thaboy]

What the mug mixture that u use? I have two small repairs that I need to do!!

[@1gmhope]

The bag said, 'Easy Sand 45 joint compound'

[@shazam2323]

my walls aren't textured so the cornerbead is still showing through the outside edge

[@israelcontracting4059]

Just have to add more Sheetrock mud and sand smooth

[@shazam2323]

everything I'm reading/watching says the outside corner is supposed to be left showing and that you just paint over it..@@israelcontracting4059

[@A.u.d.r.e.y.g14]

Thanks u soooo much because this help

[@SleepyDogg]

What product is the mud?

[@billmccluskey6294]

Sheetrock 45 made by CGC. In the US it’s USGC.

[@nabilzerzour8232]

Good Job

[@keithhoffman8954]

Nice ,but I'm doing work like this now and where the metal meets the sheetrock Im still have somewhat of uneven surface .do I still keep adding more mixture (afraid if it's to thick it will have cracking down the road ) or is there something I'm missing or I need to do .thanks

[@israelcontracting4059]

Do you mean it is dished? You can add more mud and let it fully dry then if it cracks a little put a light skim coat on.

[@keithhoffman8954]

@@israelcontracting4059 sorry what do you mean by dished? It's like the metal corner goes downward compared to the sheetrock ,so when I add the mixture it continues to have a depression ,where I cant get a even surface . By the way I'm using the pre mixed mixture ,not the type that you add water to it

[@1gmhope]

Thank you

[@israelcontracting4059]

You're welcome

[@ironmonkey1512]

the ones I repaired were exposed for a long time I sprayed them with killz first so it would stick

[@lg9ty7]

Nice, man. Nice !

[@BhagyashreeBiradar-p7u]

Tq it's helpful

[@nachumg8219]

what do you do if theres no corner bead and its extremely damaged

[@israelcontracting4059]

Add corner bead and float it out.

[@ryanmorris866]

Sheetrock is a trademarked brand of drywall, is your repair method only for Sheetrock branded drywall or does it apply to any gypsum board?

[@MariaGarcia-rw3tk]

This is good but everybody has little problems, I have a hole on the corner

[@MariaGarcia-rw3tk]

I have a gapping hole about 8 inches missing, no frame

[@israelcontracting4059]

They make fiber patch kits to cover holes and the the same mud process is used over the top. Can be purchased at local hardware stores and Walmart

[@Beans11140]

Nice! Now yall can repair all those cribs in Gaza 😁

[@jinsu0504]

would be nice if these tutorials show us what compound to apply. in laymans.. what is MUD?? like tell us what to buy,,,

[@noelv1976]

It was on the video

[@georgiafain3747]

Nice thanks

[@alexwhite7673]

White of the HOUSE here

[@MrMrSaldana]

Lol..that paint job on trim is terrible..it’s on the wall ..lol

[@israelcontracting4059]

We had nothing to do with the existing painting of the house. We did however correct any mistakes in the near by areas once the texture had dried and was ready to be re painted.

[@janedavid684]

I think that's caulk - maybe baseboard was removed and reinstalled, or changed out after walls had already been painted. Mine looks like that for the same reason - getting ready to paint now.

[@MrMrSaldana]

@@janedavid684 I’m just busting balls..all good man.lol.thanks for the video though ..my corners are freakin terrible..looks like a heard of Buffalo rubbed against the dam wall
