Thank you! Been trying to get a straight answer on what style is the "best" or what the "pro's" use...seeing you demo them All really helped!

[@MrTimdtoolman1]

I have used the 2 paddle mixer for 16 + years without any mishaps, yet, but I just hold the bucket between my feet when I'm stirring a big bucket of mud. I used a $50 Black & Decker drill for many years until the cord could not be repaired anymore and then I got a better Milwaukee drill I have now. Great video. Have a good one, and hope your health issue are improving.

[@shawngansert1973]

Each mixer has it's own pro's and cons and applications. A quick tip to clean them though, (another finisher showed me once) is to put the paddle in a bucket of water and tap it a few times with a hammer and the mud usually comes right off due to the vibration. Great video as always ✌

[@DanMarcelino]

Just spin it in the water forward then reverse right after you’re done mixing. Way faster.

[@rickkrieger4455]

I have a couple of different mixing paddles. I would get the 4 bladed one but then I have to store it. The 2 bladed works OK and it lays flat when storing. Also, there is less to clean at the end of the day. Thanks for sharing.

[@billmccluskey6294]

Always appreciate advice & expertise. Learning a lot from these videos. Just finished patching a few walls from holes & nail pops. Used 45 hot mud. Came out pretty good. Not as good as yours would but pretty decent for a novice.

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

Glad to help

[@haywoodjablowme2929]

Late 90s when I started off tending a plasterer in Ireland, long before paddles and drills were used we had to mix all skimcoat plaster with a 4 ft long 2×4. Those were fun times..🥵

[@jackdolphy8965]

Great job KG. A lot of useful info for us who mud a lot or only once in a long while. Many Thankx!!

[@floydlacroix6957]

I had a workers comp claim once a guy holding the bucket let it spin and the wire handle came off the bucket and cut a large cut in his calf and needed stitches so never let the bucket spin out of control

[@bartman5849]

Glad you used the paint mixer. I've got one of those already and was wondering if it would work.

[@kutzbill]

I really love free info, but I have one issue that I have not seen discussed before. It may be just an issue with me, and I understand that. How do we know when to stop? I almost always try to do drywall, and think "I can get that just a little better", and I end up screwing it up and calling my friend, who tells me I have helped to buy his boat. You make it look so easy, and that is how I can tell a professional. What sets you apart, to me anyway, is that you are willing to share your experience and knowledge. I want to say thank you for that. PS, if you ever need to know anything about hyper speed acoustics, drop me a line. Smiles! PPS, never use water putty as a substitute for drywall compound. It does not work...

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

Water putty lol. And Hyper Speed Acoustics, is that like really fast Popcorn Ceiling texture, or sound that is faster than the speed of sound? PS: I have it on my list to do a video about how novices often overwork a repair, lol

[@hughbrackett343]

I think the hardest thing for me was learning to leave the mud alone once I had made 2-3 passes with the knife. The thing that helped me the most was spending a couple of lunch hours watching pros tape and finish joints.

[@huejanus5505]

@@hughbrackett343 The old ‘leave well enough, alone’.

[@msdinba]

Thank you again for a great video. I heard that the sheet rock and level 5 mixers can chew up the sides of the buckets and then you’ll have plastic in your mud. Is that true and if so how to avoid chewing up The sides and bottom of your bucket?

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

Like I showed in the video, the two bladed mixer with sharp corners will chew up buckets but I’ve never had a problem with these four bladed ones. Of course you don’t want to go beating on the sides of the bucket too much if you are mixing. maybe I’ll do a video testing which ones chew up things the most.

[@jimlui89]

@@ThatKiltedGuyDIY would love to see video about which one scrapes the side of bucket more

[@robvanharen81]

I had that issue with the four bladed sheetrock paddle. But to be honest it's not the paddle by itself, but mostly because of the rough handling of it. I drop it on concrete floors and even hit it with a hammer sometimes to remove set hot mud on it. So it's mostly the handling that gives it rough or damaged edges, the paddle itself is great, although a bit hard to clean quick...

[@chethans7491]

I use the paint mixing paddle with a ring at the bottom for mixing hot mud in my pan.

[@johngrossbohlin7582]

I still find a potato masher drywall mixer to be real handy as it doesn’t require electricity, or extension cords, or big drills.

[@jimlui89]

That what we had incase our drill went out on us while we were working good exercise

[@NathanSchrudder]

That second mixer I patented but it's supposed to be smaller for a perfect fit in the pan. It's called The Mud Pan Whip mixer manufactured by OX Tools

[@jaimehernanreyesvalles9235]

Excelente información de las batidoras ....

[@wemcal]

Great video and great information

[@EM-fi2qg]

I wish they offered a longer stem on the mixing paddle. I'm 6'6" and leaning over a bucket destroys a guys back. I've been debating on welding a longer stem on mine.

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

I feel you, as I am 6‘2“ myself. Did you check out the one in my link, it does have a 32 inch shaft which might help. www.level5tools.com/products/mixing-paddle-long-32?via=thatkiltedguy

I would like to see the small level 5 mixer with the drill set on low speed.

[@aliciastanley5582]

Yeah the Keto diet should really help you. Look into the intermittent fasting with the keto. I love them.

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

I already do the IF fairly often. Thanks

[@tonyc7352]

Keri diet is truely stupid. I like your videos.

[@NathanSchrudder]

Where did you get it that big

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

Get what?

[@NathanSchrudder]

When your mixing in the pan with mixers the second style one

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

I don’t remember exactly, but if it’s one I was using inside the pan, it’s probably the one I made myself with a welder

[@deansimons3194]

How can you reduce air bubbles when it dried?

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

No way to completely do that. Put it on in thinner coats, and not over painted surfaces, but bubbles are the bain of drywallers.

[@deansimons3194]

If I knife over in reverse I seem to reduce air bubbles. Am I right?

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

It can help

[@johng1097]

Good info

[@jaimehernanreyesvalles9235]

Lo máximo 👍

[@bertdasilva3865]

I hate when you get a plastic in your mix from the paddle scratching the bucket

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

That happens a LOT with that 2 bladed mixer I showed NOT to get. There's a good version of the 2 bladed, and a terrible one.

[@olegk11]

6:10 coconut oil is NOT good for you... From what I've read.

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

Everything I’ve read says it is. It’s healthier then many of the other oils out there.

[@xyz-bz1fc]

u should stop reading that fake stuff. coconut is good for you.

[@michiganporter]

Well the level five looks like a swastika when you look at it on end... But the shape has ancient origins and who would of known it makes for a good mixer of thick material.

[@DisabilityExams]

Good luck with the diet!

[@ryanmacewen511]

I think a 6 sided shaft would be better... lol

[@markstephens7169]

Wow. Mixing with a bear foot on top of the bucket. Hope you never catch the bottom of your foot with the paddle.

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

All you have to do is be aware of things and not stand there like a dummy. In 35 years I’ve never hurt myself. Thanks

[@xyz-bz1fc]

For you noobs out there (me included), "Hot Mud" is mud u mix up yourself from powder, as oppose to "Cold Mud", which is the mud you buy in a big tub.

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

Hot mud is Fast setting joint compound, and we call it that because it gets warm when mixed due to an exothermic reaction. It hardens according to the time on the bag, is tough to sand, shrinks almost none and can be recoated as soon as it's set up. There IS mud you mix from powder that doesn't do that.

[@indykurt]

I haven't seen your biggest paddle but 30 years xp and I dislike your 2 blade one with the half ball on the bottom. There is a steel one with the same design without the extended part protruding of the bottom. When you texture or use a pump for finishing, it is important to get every part of the bucket mixed. For finishing by knife, it doesn't matter as much.
