Finally someone who knows what he's talking about

[@thomaspospiech6764]

Aa someone who has been taping drywall for over 50 years, your video is one of the truest way to tape drywall correctly. Hopefully more people see this.

[@oscarsiguenza736]

It’s also good for cutting a sandwich And sharing it with your buddy.

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

Lol, good one 😂

[@cddw33]

It's good to see quality drywall instruction on KZbin. You are a great teacher, I will be recommending you!

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

Thanks, I appreciate that 😎, & Thanks for subscribing!

[@ianmurchie1567]

I was a pro taper for 6 years with the union here in Ontario Canada and your tips are bang on. I love to watch these videos and see other pro's tips and tricks.

[@TruthTeller20242]

What happened man seemed like a damn good job if you don't mind me asking

[@thiswasts]

amateur wall butcher here, appreciate the solid tips, helped my repair game

[@AlexSanchez-pw6ls]

I have been watching and using what I have learned, I am so thankful. I am working on one of my rental properties and in just a couple weeks I have saved hundreds $$$. As soon as I finish this project, I will be making a substantial donation to “ The Kilted Guy “ , keep up the videos, they are a money and life saver. Some contractors really stick to their customers, not no more, not me !!!

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

Thank you for your input and support

[@andylugo3666]

Very helpful video. As an amateur, I've only been using a 4 and 6 inch knife in my efforts to fix several sections of drywall around my place, and let's just say that I've been sanding a lot. It's good to know that I can reduce the amount of sanding by using the right tools properly.

[@michaelwellner8151]

Thanks for reinforcing the right way! Been a Painter for 25 years and mud work needs to be done right for a good paint job. Thanks M

[@skyhawaii5446]

Aloha Kilt Guy. I learn something new every time I watch one of your videos. One is never too old or experienced in their trade to learn. You are a great teacher. I believe it is important for me to understand your trade since I am a professional painter. After 40 years of painting experience, I can honestly say that I have never encountered a drywall guy like you. As you well know, one can read books, watch on line videos, go to school etc., but real life experience is what matters most. Keep up the good work.

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

Thanks. I appreciate it.

[@britishbulldog8966]

Trying to do something the wrong way, when you know the right way isn’t that easy…it was humorous watching you try to mess up the mud application, when clearly you know what you’re doing. Cheers.

[@J76668]

Great content. Been drywalling for years, but I learn everytime I watch. Bravo

[@N8904V]

Thanks you. You saved me alot of headaches over the years.

[@woofbark4475]

Very helpful video! Thanks for the detailed explanation of the use for each tool. Never thought to look at the curve angle on the smaller aping knife. And the use of the larger one feathering off the edge exactly what I needed to know.

[@garykaasa6997]

Dear sir, I do agree with you about the use of the 6” knife. One friend of mine named Terry Pucket showed me why he always used the same side of his 6”. The pressure he applied on the right and left side of the knife constantly keeping same side of the 6” facing the wall while taping or spotting nails/screws eventually places a slight bow, almost unnoticed to the casual observer. The 6” then becomes versatile enough to feather & increase it’s diversity.

[@communistusa7173]

That last example of a bad patch lmfao, my belt sander has eaten a bunch of those.

[@cliffk.1074]

[@billmccluskey6294]

[@Rob_1776]

Watched this again thanks a bunch! I will have to do some practicing!

[@TheCodeTinkerer]

A lot of great tips and tricks, that I will incorporate for my next DIY at home.

[@cjhoward593]

Good video. I have been in remodeling since 1978. You have good tips. I use a 6, 8 12, and a 14 inch blade. Sometimes a 3" for those small areas. Have you ever done a Monterey texture? This is a unique texture. Using a 12" blade to float your wall with fairly thick mud. Then use the edge of your hand with your pinky finger side, and tap the mud. Kinda like your sponge effect but much deeper valleys. Let it sit for a time then take a 14" blade and knock it down. When dry, apply stain to it. After the stain has dried, lightly sand it. Then apply a clear sealer to it.

[@henlydennett3830]

you have saved me so much time and money with your videos!

[@romanroman5573]

Thank You Mr Kilted Guy Been in the trades since 95 and your spot on with the information

[@randythomas3478]

Goldblatt 6" has been my corner knife for wiping down tape and running corners and angles. I started finishing in 1978 in southwest Florida, wiping down behind two banjos/pro finishers! I used the 8" knife for wiping down flats too. Running on stilts like a Wildman, wiping down behind two very fast banjo runners! Ahhh those were the days! Loved to do condos on the beach! Views were mighty fine! We sprayed textured ceilings using the ole popcorn and vermiculite too. 6 and 7 days a week daylight till dark most days. I used the hawk (we called them buzzards). Seldom using a pan. Ok....always enjoy seeing your videos. Brings back the good ole days!

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

Thanks

[@noahswaldi]

Great information struggled with finishing for years. Wish I found your videos a lot sooner

[@freeflow504]

Wow great demonstration, I was just promoted to a painter position and I was be trained on drywall.

[@legion2k988]

Liked and subbed. lol Grandpa, dad, uncle and cousins are in drywall. Drywall hanger is not a taper so even a guy like me, that's been around it for 45 + years, learned some things. Thanks!

[@robburkhard9256]

Finally someone who explains it right. Although I use a 6 for almost every joint. I start with 6 and go to 10 then 12

[@roku5510]

Great tips and tricks. Much appreciated!

[@user-io5ji3vw5f]

Your explanation is great

[@lestalkmorebasss]

That 6” knife is also great for scraping off thin ridges or easing them down before the mud sets

[@lorenbaird3387]

I really appreciate the skills you have. I’ve put them into practice and they work well. Lord bless you, keep up the good work.

[@JohnG1000]

Noobs really need to listen to this guys advice. I hope he makes real good money from these videos because I have a hard time trying to explain all this to the new guys and this guy just keeps calm and shows you the right way to do things.

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

Thanks, I appreciate that 😎, & Thanks for subscribing!

[@azintrepid1]

Thank you. Now I know the correct way to do drywall.

[@michaelhartman851]

With knifes for mudd the width is half of the equation it's also how thick and stiff is the blade, each blade has a specific use and can be used for other purposes but they really shine in proper use.

[@752brickie]

Like your stilt dance !!! I used to walk backwards running a 6' browning rod and not think a thing of it. Not now,I am over 70 and no more stilts for this cat !

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

Thank you for your input Thom

[@parmesan9761]

Wow thank you so much you explain things very clearly and detailed on how to do things . I have three rooms in my house that need taping and compounding I haven't found somebody as good as you thank you for your advice I will keep watching your videos when I do them . I am a novice but I am good at auto body and that should help me .👏⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

As someone who’s done autobody and painted about 10 cars, I can tell you it is similar so it will help you

[@carpenterdom1639]

Hey man just checking in to see how you’re doing. Thank you for the quality content, it’s always nice to get a quality check on my current techniques by comparing myself to you, The Drywall Don.

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

I'm not sure which way is up right now. On top of everything else I found out I need $7,000 worth of dental work. Still not sure where we'll be living. Going to look at a camper today and considering living in one for a few months while we look to buy. But we have 7 cats, so need more room than average. Found ONE we liked yesterday, used it was $30,000 for a bumper pull camper. I kind of doubt I can get financed as my finances took a hit in the last couple of years, so everything is up in the air still. Glad I've been able to help you. And now, Back to packing.

Great job today. I like the videos that are 10 to 12 minutes long.

[@jamesmchugo9422]

I’m not a pro, not yet away. But I’ve done enough plaster work to find out I’m good at it and others have told me I’m good at it. Anyway, your opening thing about the 6 inch knife, I never noticed that they have different shapes. But this explains why I prefer working with one knife over the others. My go to knife is the one with the 90 degree shoulder, I’ve worked with it for a couple of years and never noticed until now, that it’s shaped differently from the other knifes. But now I understand why I like that knife better. Good video, great information.

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

Glad I could help and glad to have you as a subscriber

Just found your videos . I thought all you old guys drank or smoked yourself dead by now ! Lol - I was trained by guys like you 20 years ago . You have to put the time in with a pan and knife to really get it . My mentors beat into my head a clean pan and clean knife and clean mud was #1 . You have my respect .

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

Well, I was pretty healthy, then got hit with a Virus in my inner ear which caused nerve damage and permanent vertigo, then 2 1/2 years later I got the covid, and now have covid long haul, and I don't smoke, or drink, or do drugs, so I should still be healthy, but life isn't fair, it just happens. But at least I'm still kicking and my channel is a rocket right now, so all is good. Thanks for subscribing!

I like this video. I watched it to see if I taught my friend how to patch all the holes the electric guys bashed into all his walls. We fixed over 120 holes. I taught my friend well how to do this the right way. Thanks . His walls looked great after the paint.

My BEST knife has two different sides. One is the square corner. The other is the curved. I can do both sides of a inside corner with one tool. Took me about 3 years to learn how to do it properly. But an amazing tool.

[@chimabu00]

Thank you for helping me push myself fix the cracks that has been there in my living room for almost a year. I also need to fix the crack in my vaulted ceiling. Are you planning on making video on how to tape the crack in the vaulted ceiling / Walls.

I don’t have plans for it but you never know. But I pretty much fix all cracks the same way

[@bcallahan3806]

Great video. Learned 30 yrs ago. If there is any significant amount. And time is an issue. Hire a person like you. Faster, better job, and ultimately cheaper in the long run. Especially if you have other trades waiting or worse, a spouse. 😨😆. It's almost worth the money just to watch how fast really good rockers can hang and tape and sand. And how little dust compared me or most novices. Because they don't pile it on. And have an eye for contour, not just smooth to the touch.. 👍👍

[@Joetime90]

Fantastic cheap tool. What material of blade do you prefer? Most of my tools are Marshalltown, and a tad rusty from washing them. Is that an issue? I'm also interested in hawk and trowel, and "buttering" for corners.

[@aapp953]

I had a guy on my site mud an entire 15'x 20' wall without any sanding whatsoever! I thought he was the most skilled drywaller ever until I tried to hang my art work and 2 corners of the frame sat flat on the wall but diagonal while the other 2 had 1" gaps in between. I don't think we ever used that man again.

[@douglasperry1226]

Thanks for the tips good to know! Get well soon and don’t strain your self to much! laters!

[@ronniecardy]

Wished I would have found this 20 years ago

[@glennkrzeminski7539]

Best tip I learned about mudding has nothing to do with the tools - it’s mud management! Wipe the inside walls of the tub clean before quitting and you won’t have hard bits to stir into your mud the next day. Scraping up the excess also introduces bits into your hawk or pan. When your mud gets thick or grainy just toss it. Sidewalk chalk for the kids. Use fresh stuff from your clean tub and make your life easy.

what mud to you use?

[@spencercolgan]

Which metal do you prefer? Carbon steel, or stainless, and why?

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

Stainless. Mostly because they Never rust

[@mdavid7149]

There is literally a feeling of smoothness while strafing a corner especially if you coat it properly. This feeling is for the naturally talented. For those that have acquired this skill you will see it as soon as you look down at your pass with no gaps no taps tears or bubbles no reapplying. On to the next one

"The Most OFTEN Misused Knife" ...proceeds to misuse knife: 5:27 :-) Great video, I learned quite a bit! Thanks for posting.

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

Lol 😂

[@janchampine2009]

I am so good at mudding dry wall, I did it with a pancake flipper/spatula. And not one bit of sanding was needed.

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

Yeah well once I threw my mud on the wall and smoothed it out with a rake and didn’t have to do any sanding. It didn’t even need paint. Ha ha ha, I’m better. 😂

[@crimsonghost411]

When you feather, do you pit more pressure on the outside edge pushing compound more into the middle?

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

Yes

[@Jdww89]

So I have some imperfections where I had some bubbles on my final coat or some corners that I want to touch up. A hot mix will harden up enough to put another coat on top better really don't need more than one coat I just need to fill in these imperfections so my question really is would you use a hot mix or regular all-purpose joint compound to fix these imperfections? Pretty much still going to have to wait until it completely cures/dries to be able to sand.

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

You won’t gain anything with hot mud for that part so regular mud.

[@morokeiboethia6749]

When you're mudding a corner like a ceiling/wall corner edge is it better to put your knife into the corner and pull out and away (perpindicular)from the corner or is it better to run your knife with the corner?

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

Pull away from it

[@ryane6719]

Wish I could get tinted mud where I live. Drywall places look at me cross eyed when I ask for it.

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

I don’t ask for it either, I take it the way it comes to me and it’s usually yellow or grayish. Don’t know anywhere you can ask for it honestly.

[@yepper1165]

I just mix a little bit of blue chalk water into it myself.
