The EASIEST way to TAPE INSIDE CORNERS EVER!!!

[@brendanmulhall]

If you never did another carpentry video again, that would be fine with me. You have taught me everything I know about drywall, and I (laughably) considered myself a professional before i found your channel. You have not only made my work immensely easier, but allowed me the knowledge and confidence to provide a product I know I can stand by and guarantee. Thanks for everything Ben.

[@JohnSmith-cc3ud]

"Lurking on drywall forums" ... you party animal. Lol great video

[@antonyshearer1813]

You are so right about using it to not only tape with, but I've also used it to mud my angles and my corner flusher, never had had a problem. Thanks for all your videos, been finishing drywall now for 40 years.

[@psychotogen1]

Hey, I'm a painter and I had to do some patches where the paint peeled the mud and previous paint off today on a ceiling that was unsealed. Because of your videos, my patches were imperceptible and definately good enough for a level 4. I went to look at them this morning with the sunrise shining across them and boy were they smooth! I just wanted to say thanks You've earned yourself a subscriber!

[@chizzelfingers]

im a 2yr union stonemason from and anytime i do anything around my house i always watch ur videos first.

As a DIY person who has done quite a bit of drywall, but usually with years between each time, I've just started using the lambswool roller for corners on my current project. It's great! I've always had hard times with bubbles/blisters in the past, but now I've pretty much gotten rid of them. I combo the lambswool roller with a Level 5 inside corner roller (my only bit of "professional" equipment), and then a tool called an Advance (name brand) Inside 90° Hand Corner Flusher. It's a manual, hand held corner flusher. It's not one of those corner trowels. It's a flusher, but it's only like $40. It works great. Obviously not as good as the 'real' deals, but it's really, really good and super easy to use. Gets that nice glaze over the tape. The final piece of my DIY cheapo kit is a TapeBuddy (amazon), which is like a really cheap super-taper type thing. Anyways, my taping is vastly improved from what I used to do with all of that stuff. And for a really, really small investment. $200 CDN... maybe not even that.

[@maritahensley3295]

Im a crafter! So watching your videos help so much!!!! Thank you.

[@ralphsullivan8972]

Thank you very much for that tip. I enjoy watching your videos . I use a lot of your tips in my drywall work I do in remodeling. I bend at this business for 40 yrs. I'm always learn new ways of tips of the trade. Thank you again passing on tips.

[@jasonhicks767]

Could have used this video a couple of hours ago. Doing my first bathroom and tapping took me half the day. Small bathroom 5x9. You make sheet rock look so easy. Haha

[@youtrades]

I've been using a corner roller for years- the the larger wooster with lambswool gets more mud on, absolutely love it! But you've got me getting the compound tube now 😂

[@TobiasRaphael1]

Those corners look crisp and clean!

[@mikegraham7078]

The best part is that these rollers apply a narrow enough bead of mud that it works great with a corner trowel, which will of course seat the tape properly so you don't have to poke it in with the knife. :)

[@peterfitzpatrick7032]

Thanks Mike, I was just about to ask about the corner trowel.. 🙂

[@js-wq6zy]

I watched this and made the big buy, that little 13 dollar roller from Rona is unbelievable, I feel an uncontrollable urge to order italian tonight, thank you sir for the video and tip.

[@arlettaoneill4436]

Thanks I just ordered two, one for painting and one for mudding 😊

[@aytviewer2421]

Cool... The older you get, the more Canadian you sound eh. Awesome videos. Thanks!

[@DREVOSTAVBAsvepomoci]

Right on time :-) Thank you for that. I will be doing about nearly 600 sqm of sheetrock in couple of weeks and till now I have been thinking about corners - coincidence? I don't think so :-)

[@rickkrieger4455]

I've never done that but I'll add it to my list of things to try. Thanks for sharing.

[@Spoonminer]

That is cool ,I like the idea of it for a small job !

[@kylealmacdonald]

Best affordable purchase I've ever made. I use a wooden handle for high top corners, less climbing up and down.

[@bay9876]

How about trying the applicator with an extension pole. Would that actually work faster on the application of mud on high overhead corners?

[@quinnycoleman7214]

Good thought, still gotta get the tape up there tho

[@brandonfontaine285]

@@quinnycoleman7214 Would only be one trip up ladder for tape instead of 2. All adds up

[@2kshorts262]

You're awesome keep up the great videos!

[@keithdouglas9848]

You can also use a paint brush maybe one and half inch, sounds crazy but works same as roller if you cant get a roller .good video from fellow taper in Ireland .

[@geraldlamothe6091]

Been using these rollers since the 80's,in those days they were made from aluminium 45 degrees they worked well...The one you are using,the trick is to premoisten with water before using,it helps the mud stick better.

[@moonblink]

you rock man! i need to do this to my mom's garage! I've seen these rollersat home depot. maybe i'll get one when i pull the trigger. love your videos, keep it up.

[@jimmymcintyre4889]

You’re screws are immaculate!! 😍

[@carpnotes4607]

Yo dude you're awesome. Thank you so much for this tip - it's going to help me with corners so damn much. you da man

[@johndoe-ow2ns]

In the last year I started using a cheap stiff paint brush for applying the mud when I'm taping. I thin down the mud like Ben has it in the video and paint it on. Once I put the tape on I first brush the tape in place with my mud soaked paint brush. What that does is prevent the tape from absorbing too much moisture from the initial coat of mud. What it also does is reduce the friction on the tape so that when I follow it up with the putty knife I don't accidentally pull the tape out of position. The knife glides on the tape effortlessly. This method works great. I get perfect results every time now. Cheers!

[@ubercorey]

"Way too much mud" is my preference for corners. So long as it an even amount. I think the roller achieves this even amount. Pretty cool.

[@joeb7508]

Dang! Wish you had posted this last week. Just got my tape applied yesterday ☹️ I’ll definitely try it next time. Thanks

[@frankpinmtl]

Glad to see the wrist is doing better

[@gregvanblaricum4204]

Because of your videos and the help you provide I was able to tackle a pretty big job in my home. Mudding is one of the most intimidating jobs I've done but after your first few passes you pick up some techniques and it's actually not that hard.

[@trickyricky12147]

Thanks for the helpful tip! Though, if I ever have to drywall a house myself, I'd give the ptefilling taping by hand with a knife just for the most basic drywall finishing experience. These tricks look very useful for a drywall contractor on a day in and day out basis, though!

[@tyroneclarke1666]

Hi Ben. Thank you for sharing mate. 🦘🇦🇺

[@AlejandroDiaz-ku8sh]

Love this channel ,,, thanks for all the information

[@eliasorloff1457]

Use an adjustable extension pole for vaulted long corners like that, less ladder work is always better!

[@camisnyder3460]

You are such a PRO!!!!!!

[@patrickbates2342]

What?? You run out of white T shirts????? Great job as always Ben!!! I also like that ladder from 85BC!!!!

[@goodbyegye8047]

I bought one because of this vid. I'm doing some reno s and I'm not a good taper. It worked beautifully for me and produced the best inside corners I've ever done. To be honest your reminder about mud thickness was a huge improvement for me also BUT I quickly found out not to try flat taping with loose mud. I got tons on the floor LoL.

[@vancouvercarpenter]

Thanks for sharing

[@trickyricky12147]

Yessir!

[@Yamaha_Bolt]

These are good videos. The corner trawl works great too, and wetting the tape damp works well.

[@milesharlan1]

I love your videos and your sense of humor coming out while doing the videos..Question..Why are you wearing a black shirt while doing drywall?? LOL.. I am not as good as you but I get mud coming back on me from the ceilings and walls when I use a ladder..Keep up the good!! See you on your next video!!

[@frankpinmtl]

Real men wear black...either that, or more likely it's how his wife dressed him when he left for work in the morning. Ben likes shoes, too...

[@commandoconstruction2720]

Mud shows up on black easier, so you can wipe it off before accidentally transferring it to the wrong surface.

[@rochlapointe8903]

I use this tool a lot and I use a paint pole and work from the ground. Just love this tool! And I usually fill the bigger gaps with regular mud

[@Yorkie285]

Very smart....way to go!

[@seasonlightly]

skater and a handy man, the ultimate guy !

[@fr8trainUS]

Moore is the man! I was also on DrywallTalk. Went by Fr8train. I worked with P.A.Rocker Tip #1 Stick that on a pole Tip #2 Use it s as a roller

[@toats-mcgoats1833]

Another great video, thanks b!

[@canukjw]

Thanks Ben, picked one up at Rona. Fastest corner taping I have ever done.

[@-supremebeing-]

Looks great Ben, I know alot of tapers that use this method, when I use the corner roller I like to keep my hawk underneath of it for less mess, a pan works too like you did.

[@troyknighten9456]

I learned from some guys thats been finishing for 45 plus years and this is how we do EVERY HOUSE we do all custom homes here in Burlington NC and we never have any issues

[@drew5334]

Would you mind going over any tips you have for drywall patches where you have a textured surface like orange peel to blend the patch into?

[@DaveDoesCarpentry]

Really great video!

[@stevearcher587]

Used that a lot in florida when I was finishing down there with my dad works great

[@thomaswypyszinski3645]

QUESTION!!!!! : ) Tub is a few inches narrower than the bathroom. So there will be an outside corner where the tub wall meets the main wall. One side will just be sheetrock and joint compound. The other wall will be Hardi Backer and tile. (to the corner) How would you finish that corner? Corner bead over both sides? Compound both sides? Something else? Thanks Bud : )

[@aangellotti508]

I've used the roller and flusher together many times.

[@marcmillet906]

i watched your video so that makes me a pre-professional.

[@johnschmit9903]

Great video!! I'm finishing my basement and will have to try this!! Would you think I would be able to use the inside corner roller and a flusher with this tool?

[@markwilson8618]

The VC is the best, hands down!

[@robertjames-life4768]

Good thing that you have 6’ arms! Very cool technique

[@jimw6991]

Enjoyed the video .... wondering if you or your followers can tell me whether long edges of drywall are routinely back boarded for cielings in Canada. My garage cieling has cracked thru tape on every seam ... no backboards on long edge joints or prefill but boards are glued and screwed. No expansion joints and cieling is 65 feet by 33 feet. My plan to fix is remove existing tape/mud. Prefill with durabond. Add expansion joints every 30 feet. Backboard. Set new tape in durabond, finish with liteweight compound. Do you think this will keep cracks from coming back? Cieling is not insulated and I am in Michigan, near Windsor Ontario.

[@williamstubbs9737]

great tip! very useful if you don't have a bazooka. Even then, it can be challenging to do inside corners with it.

[@WayPastCrazy2525]

I like this tool. ANYTHING to make my world easier whenever I do drywall. I SUCK at it and get frustrated easily. Question though: Do you use this tool for round #2 on the mudding or just go back to traditional application with about a 6" trowel?

[@robvidalbjj]

Hi buddy. Love the videos. I'm a home owner... not a pro but fairly handy and not afraid to try repairs. Question. I have a large crack showing in my living room ceiling. It seems like a crappy repair from the previous owner of the house. If I sent you video are you willing to help guide me through a repair? Maybe we can make a joint video about it as you guide me through???

[@jeffreyblye287]

This is inspiring me to go find one. My previous one broke years ago and I haven't replaced it.

[@alanckaye]

Thank you for this video. All the inside corners of my 20 year old home are bubbled because there’s so much space between dry wall ends. My first attempt looks horrible. Thanks to this video my next attempt should be perfect.

[@bigeyejim]

Those moist mud noises starting at around 5:00....... 😂😂😂

[@dymarke]

Using a corner roller on an extension pole works great on high corners, like anything it just takes practice.

[@joerath1224]

Thanks for a great idea!

[@FixthisCD]

I have been using the corner roller applicator, followed by inside corner roller then a flusher, I like it

[@WBIGTVBuffalo]

Show ideas: How to carry drywall sheets. Also, advantages and disadvantages of attaching vertical vs horizontal.

[@trickyricky12147]

This!

[@markhuru]

The area where that roller shines is right behind him the dreaded less than 90* corner, in my opinion the hardest corners to do. I’d use the roller to top coat then use a rubber knife made for these corners, then knife, but I’m telling you till you do these corners you’ll understand how hard they are to perfect.

[@sorotboydchamlongsupalak9896]

Drywall doctor did it first, but I still watch your channel

[@dhammer5645]

I think it would be good for bathrooms and such something less than a whole main floor but more than just a patch or repair. The good thing is you can just fill up your pan and go to town.👍

[@ds61821]

Also that is a huge room to do so any short cuts are appreciated.

[@wampaswomps3975]

The easiest corner I’ve ever taped was the corner I didn’t tape.

[@dancearoundtheworld5360]

😎🤣

[@halconsalvaje]

Lmai

[@mangos2888]

🤣🤣🤣

[@glennlockey1012]

Looks easier than hand taping but I'd go for a banjo with a corner wheel adapter. Mud and tape at the same time, just need your 6" knife for cuts and wipes. Great video as always though....

[@jbrady5979]

Do you pre fill your gaps? Wonder if you prefilled then rolled for just the tape if it would be a little smoother

[@mpxz999]

Today I learned that I should be applying tape into the corners, and not just filling the corners with mud. ... I’ll never let anyone see my basement.

[@TCSwizz2]

🤣

[@Joetime90]

It's just prefill man lol

[@damiansoto319]

Lol ! Ive seen it b4 so you're not alone.

[@purkeypilot]

Nice! Thanks, Ben.

[@juanz001]

I have to try that on my next project

[@-agent-47-73]

Looks like a great idea after prefilling with hot mud maybe...I see cracks in the future by that method only.... nice video/idea

[@donaldsincennes9673]

You don’t even have to go up and down a ladder just attach it to an extension pole just like the Richard/Hyde gooseneck flexible paint brush extension😊 Cheers

[@MT-tx2xd]

Do you aver use an automatic taper/bazooka, with a roller and glazer? It’s super fast.

[@ironmike316]

Hi - do you recommend a different method for next to the exposed brick? Thanks!

[@thunder3470]

Does it make sense to role the flats as well. The non corner areas with a straight roller.

[@eduardoqb47]

Thanks for your video

[@shegocrazy]

I guess the roller mat is a write-off after using it or can it be washed out successfully?

[@aangellotti508]

It can be washed

[@briano9879]

I was looking over the reviews and someone stated the covers are not replaceable. That being said I imagine you would want to clean it well and try to use it again at $12 a piece.

[@ozoneswiftak]

I always put a small amount of mud on over after i have ( pushed the tape ) down like you do it. Just to make sure it doesnt buble. Or not stick.

[@jodienichols2002]

Nice. Good suggestion.

[@shannonvaughan4385]

You could carry a small bucket while on the ladder and then switch back to the pan when coated. I have used a 2” roller and it does ok but does not get deep in the corner without some persuasion. I need to find one of these.

[@dylanstiles2706]

How are you going to handle the edges around the brick? Does that gap between the drywall and brick get filled in at all?

[@kirkearl]

I want to know the same thing. The video's intro frame almost felt like click bait because I thought he was going to show how to finish next to the brick!

[@307mtb]

Could you do a video showing how to tape and finish an inside corner with new sheet rock on one side and old textured sheet rock on the other?

[@louindorato6855]

You can also use a pointy toilet bowl brush

[@daijoubu4529]

hahaha I bought this for my project and it worked pretty well

[@shevinsacrey5862]

I've always seen these and thought about trying them but never did. But from what I'm seeing, especially that first corner, I feel like you could have applied the mud alot faster with just your knife. Also like you mentioned you can prefill it, shove some in there with your knife and then do another pass. But it does seem like there might be less mud to scrape out this way possibly? Easier and smoother squeezing it out?

[@dondrywall2194]

So you prefer that prehistoric method instead of the tube and corner applicator? So funny

[@edover50]

Nice video Ben! Now that I’ve purchased every compound tube adapter there is (and yes, blame you entirely for my drywall tool addiction). Now I’m going to buy this corner roller for the smaller jobs that don’t deserve my tubing up.....You white powder KZbin tool hustler ...lol

[@mreinecker]

I bought one at sherwin willuams for 10 bucks. Love it.

[@brianwelteroth9248]

What is that orange cpvc sprinkler pipe doing roughed out so low below the now finished ceiling!?!

[@thujavon62]

Would it be bad to put another layer of mud with the roller in in the corner right after wiping the excess of mud to wet it well , thank you very much.
