In this Skim coating walls for beginners tutorial video I will show you how to skim coat by doing a skim coating demonstration with my paint roller trick and a 12" drywall taping knife. I’m going to be skim coating over some knockdown texture on a wall. I'll also show you how to mix the skim coat with all purpose joint compound. I explain all the tools needed to skim coat your walls and make them beautiful again! So stay tuned and let me know in the comments what type of skim coating or drywall project you’re working on?
Thanks so much for watching! Take care, -Paul

I'm a 65 year old DIY lady! Retirement has allowed me the time to do a bunch of home improvement projects. This is a terrific DIY video. I removed the dreaded popcorn from my walk-in closet. Except for the joints, there is bare drywall. I practiced putting the skim coat on with a trowel, but now that I learned this handy trick, I'll be using your roller technique. It will save so much time. I am grateful. Thank you!!🔧🔨🪚🧰🗜🛠🔩

I have learned a few things on the KZbin channel, but this one takes the cake. I have never been too good at drywall and mudding but I had to try this method. I am preparing my mom's house to put up for sale and watching the money spending is of high concern. The job entailed the removal of a lot of liquid nail which is what was used to install cork panels on the plaster walls. Using an angle grinder to grind down the liquid nail still had a surface way to rough for painting. Following the instructions in the video, I began to see results almost immediately. I will be doing a very little sanding tomorrow, priming then paint. BOOM.. done. Thanks Paul.

I can only afford to do it myself but now I feel I have an answer or an option to start fixing it. I thought we'd have to re-drywall to get rid of it. Thank you.

I was expecting to be monkeying with it all afternoon to try and figure it out. I was SHOCKED when I was done with the actual rolling and smoothing in half an hour! It took me longer ti clean up than to actually do the job!! Thanks a bunch👍👍

Paul, I was so glad to discover this video because I just started to work on my neighbors' living room walls and noticed that the first layer of drywall paper on one wall tarted to lift where there was a joint seam. I will remove as much of the first layer as possible and then use the Gardz product by Zinsser before skim coating.

Great Videos. Super helpful. Question: we have a drywall crack across 2 rooms in our house. The ceiling has a knocked down texture. We tried to patch it tape and joint compound and then tried to match the knocked down texture, but it didnt go well. The ceiling appears not level and the patch does not match. -Should we cut the gyp out and try to level it and rematch the adjacent surface? -Or rip out the tape? -Or completely skim coat the entire ceiling and make it smooth? Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

@PaulPeck 5 жыл бұрын
Hi Lico, hmmm... that’s a tough one since I can’t see the repair. Maybe try and remove tape, retape and retexture. But skim coating and adding all new texture will be the best looking solution at this point. I hope this helps. Thanks so much for watching and subscribing!👍🏻 -Paul

I'm no pro but I'm an investor in Texas so I'm familiar with drywall cracks. What you're describing sounds like it's probably a foundation issue, so the housing material is being warped. That's exactly what I'm used to. What I'll do (if fixing the foundation isn't critical) is cut a clean rectangle around the Crack, being sure to go about two inches past the Crack. Then I'll place a small piece of 4x1 inside the hole I made, spanning the Crack. If it's a large Crack, I'll put one every two feet. If that's hard to imagine, then think of the 4x1s as rungs on a ladder. Except you'll have the widest side facing you. I then secure the 4x1 pieces I added to the existing drywall using drywall screws. Now I have a wide platform to attach new drywall to. I'll cut my new drywall patch roughly to size, place that into the cutout I made, and then secure THAT to the "ladder" of 4x1s using drywall screws. If the fit is tight, I don't use tape. But if I'm using a scrap or for some reason I have gaps I can stick two quarters between, I'll caulk it and rub it smooth with a damp finger. And if for some reason I have a larger gap, then I'll use tape. I really try to avoid taping over a patch because it's nearly impossible to hide the "hump." Most people will either never notice or not care, but I do... Once I've dealt with the gap issue, I mud over the surface, extending out about 5-24" from the edge of the hole I cut, depending on the method of patch. Patch with or without caulk usually only needs 5-7 inches at MOST, usually less if you're re texturing. A patch with tape will need 18-24 inches from every edge to blend. Assess the lighting in the room to determine how much blend you need. If the Crack is on a vertical wall, floor lamps and single ceiling lights will make it shadow. But recessed led ceiling lights may cast enough light that it's invisible. A ceiling patch is the hardest to hide, and I find that almost every time I use tape, it's visible.

Awesome video! I learned a lot! Does the drywall compound wash out of the roller? If so, is it worth the trouble?

Hey Paul! Your videos helped me skim coat my damaged walls and they now look beautiful….however, we got mud on the popcorn ceiling and now have bright white spots on the ceiling. Anyway to clean that up? We tried a wet cloth/paper towel before it dried but its still noticeable. The skimmed walls look amazing tho! Thank you!

Great video! Question, could you also use a paint sprayer or is the watered down plaster too thick for it?

Hey Paul, I'm doing a mobile home with VOG walls. They're textured, as I'm sure you know. I've also removed the battens to finish each wall end to end for a cleaner look. With such a light texture, will I need to apply 2 or more skim coats?

Thank you for the video. I have similar wall but more deeper texture. Can we use a roller or must we use a knife and do it manually?

I've had a problem with a couple skim jobs I've done where I get lines in my mud while skimming. It's not lines from putting too much pressure on one side of the knife it's like a line where it completely pulls the compound off the wall in random spots but in a line.
