To anyone watching this video. I have been in construction for over 40 years. I have been involved in every type of construction from residential, commercial, industrial, foundations to finish.

My dad was a retired drill instructor and he taped and bedded until he could walk stilts anymore. I helped him tape, bed and texture in high school and I started in the closets. When I passed I graduated to the hallways. My dad always had a hanging light and he ALWAYS went behind me with the light and checked my work. I still remember everything he taught me and I'm currently renovating my childhood home.

A lot of people don't realize the skill that it takes to complete drywall. The difference between a good drywall job and a bad one, can be as drastic as the difference between a Michelangelo sculpture and a block of stone. Sounds like your dad was a gifted artist. How fortunate for you to have learned from him, and I'm sure that transpires into many other aspects of your life. My grandfather was a gifted commercial advertisement artist. I don't know if he ever attempted to drywall, but because of his lessons in art, I am able to complete a drywall job to my and others satisfaction.

I have done a lot of my own drywall work for over 3 decades. (I haven't had to do any for a long time, so I did something right. :) I am entirely self taught, and now I see I have been causing my own problems. Thanks for the tips!

[@peterconnolly2724]

When I started putting up drywall, I went straight to fibreglass tape. Loved all the problems it gave me (not). I quickly learned by the pros go for paper tape, and that's all I've ever used since. Any problems don't come from the paper tape, it's installer error.

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

Yes, when joint tape fails, it's *_most often_* installer failure, *INCLUDING* for mesh tape. I hear the negatives daily but I've installed at least 500 rolls of mesh tape while doing nothing but drywall repairs for 17 years and have had nearly zero fails, except for 2 times when I forgot to add re-inforcing screws around the cracked drywall joint, or when I used AP mud instead of hot mud, and I learned right then it's installer error. Thanks for commenting and subscribing. Guy

[@cpmiller1965]

Hard to hide the fiber mesh when it’s close to the surface, yup I’ve fought this numerous times as a novice.

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

That’s true.

[@squarenailco1747]

Fiberglass tends to puff up when I've used it, but I don't dislike it on flats! I will only use paper on my corners though!!! Too easy to cut through the fiberglass with the edge of the knife, and when you have a employee that's still learning it can cause unnecessary problems. Corner trowel can salve the problem, but I don't really like the way it finishes corners.

[@eclectichoosier5474]

@@squarenailco1747 I've only ever used a corner trowel to put on tape, and not for finishing. And only in difficult joints, like curves. For straight angle joints, a straight knife works just fine. On curves, for some reason, I tend to work too deep into the joint, and sometimes nick holes in the tape. Probably because stretching the tape puts tension on it, and the slightest hit with the corner of the knife is a little too much. Another thing I've run into is that the tension tries to pull the tape out of the corner, and running a flat knife on just one side pulls unevenly. Even light pressure can be enough to move or kink it. The corner trowel shoves it fully into the corner, all the way around the curve. Once it's on and dry, finishing with a straight knife isn't a problem, and gives a much better finish.

[@bob19611000]

Thanks for reconfirming my method; I've been told by other DIYers that I'm doing it wrong. I'm not a flipper but because my job makes me move a lot (16 times in 35 years) I generally do a lot of renovations on older homes (+100yrs). My challenge is fixing previous work, particularly drywall. I've seen the "bubble up" many times, never realized why it happen but just cut it out and patched the joint.

Excellent video! I have been doing my own drywall work since I was in my 20's (in my 70's now). Things really changed for me when I discovered mesh tape. Living on a pier and beam house I was always dealing with cracks around doors and windows. Paper tape just wouldn't keep the cracks at bay, but when I used mesh tape it solved the problem. Like many others who've commented here I use regular drywall compound with the mesh tape and haven't had any problems with it. I even use it in corners with great success. I don't claim any 'pro' status, but when getting our previous home ready to sell I had to fix one crack. The realtor tried to talk me into letting her guy do it, but after she saw my finished work she wanted me to do her repairs.

What also helps, the tape comes with a mild fold seam down the middle, I recommend laying the tape down with the folded edge down, this can also assist in keeping any air out.

[@sirferr3870]

Sir thank you for your service and for bringing pride of workmanship back! Although I’ve been in the airline industry for 34 of my 53 years, I’ve taped even longer- 43 years most of it alongside my Pops who passed away a couple of years ago. One of his pet peeves was when guys would leave a paper tail hanging at the bottom of the wall- irresistible temptation for a toddler or clueless homeowner to then come and pull on resulting in a do-over. On the lighter side he had some good stories...here’s one for ya on my way out: Dad: “Gosh sakes you know that job I’m doing for that lady over on Selby Lane?” Me: “Yep....the divorcée? Dad: “Yeah that one. Boy is she ever a looker!” Me: “Dad!! Watch out. Mom’s in the other room!” Dad: “I know I know...I’m telling ya, she must’ve asked me 3 times if I wanted something to eat or drink.” Me: “Oh yeah? Didja accept?” Dad: “No. I was fine, plus I just wanted to finish that big wall in the back and get going.” Me: “Well uh, that’s great Dad.” Dad: “Yeah she asked me if I wanted coffee and I said ‘No thank you’...then she asked if I was hungry and I said ‘No thanks’” and just kept taping away...’” Me: “She sounds nice Dad” Dad:”Oh she was nice alright.” Me:” Sounds like it, but that’s happened before though yeah?” Dad: “Not like this...the first two times I never turned around. The third time I did as I needed just a little bit more mud and she says ‘Ok suit yourself!’” Me: “Aww she brought you something anyway didn’t she?” Dad: “No.” Me: (Wondering what the big deal was): “What’s so special about that?” Dad: “That woman wasn’t wearing a darn thing walking away naked to the world!” 😳

[@brianwood1041]

Ummmmm , no , no mud has glue in it, it’s just a gooey substance. You won’t need water for your mud all you have to do is stir it up with a drill stir blade. You will need to sand in between coats although you are right to use the Graper to get off the boogers before you sand .

As a handyman/remodel guy I've done a fair share for mudding. I've always hated mesh tape and never knew why... until now. Hot mud. Thanks to guys like you, I'm always learning something new. Thank you!

[@kstaxman2]

In using fiber tape for over 15 years in my remodelling contracting I've never used flash mud and I've never had a problem with cracking. Flash mud is a pain expensive and it takes time to work with it. IMHO it's simply not necessary.. the secret to mash tape is to realize it's like using rebar in concrete. Most novices and even many pros simply wipe the tape too firmly. if you press to firmly you can pull and distort the fiber in the tape which puts in stress that will result in problems. I'm sure that with the hot mud it's more that it's a harder tougher mud that can resist the problems of tape stress but certainly not necessary. I've had zero problems with mesh tape cracking. It's known for having greater cracking resistance as it can move with the expansion and contraction of the join. Anyway look at some mesh tape and pull or twist it and you'll see that it changes from a nice even square pattern to a more stressed looking pattern. When you wipe it you don't want to see it deforming like that. That will cause you problems. Note that not one single set of instructions (yes I read the instructions you can learn from them) even mention quick set mud. If they thought it was necessary they would say so.

My dad was a contractor, beside him is where I spent most days. I love seeing things from start to finish for whatever project I’m doing at the moment! About a month ago I had asked my dad if I get his help with some remodeling, not that I didn’t know how I just really wanted that time working with him and for him to see the things he’s taught me along with things I’ve picked up over the years ( since he always tells me I’m a jack of al trades Master of none😆) for the first time in along time we finished a project and didn’t take 10 years to do it because he’s was going slow to teach me! The pride I saw in his eyes I needed more than I realize, but I showed him a few things to! He’s always been interested in how I turn something into a totally different thing but something that now has function or a purpose that it didn’t have before. I really just wanna say thank you! Thank you for taking the time to record, teach, and share stuff like this! I know when the day comes that I don’t have my dad their to answer the question or give me an idea that I can look for ur videos and know that your gonna provide me with very similar advice! I’ve begged him for years to let me show him how to record things like this so I can pass the lessons and wisdom down to my kids that kids these days probably won’t ever have the know how because life’s just different than it was when I was growing up, but he won’t, says that requires him to learn how to use a smart phone which he wants nothing to do with! 🤣 bless his heart he still has a flip phone 🤦🏻‍♀️ So Thank you VERY VERY Much!!!!!!!!

Aww, thanks, and I'm honored. I get it too, I learned quite a bit from my dad who did this most of his life. I went on to learn much more about drywall repairs, but he always amazed me at how he could just build a porch, a house, furniture etc, without any books, or youtube.

My Dad started building our house when I was about a year old. He worked on it on weekends only the first year or so I guess. I began "helping" him when a was a little over two. This was in the very early 60s. We ended up moving into the house about a year later and it wasn't completed yet but the landlord of the apt we lived in would not let us stay for only a couple of months and demanded that my parents sign a lease for another year. NOT! We moved in and it was January and the avg temp would be anywhere from below zero to the low to mid-teens. There were no windows BUT he installed a wood-burning stove and exhausted through a front window and then closed that off with plywood and the others with plastic. Wasn't cold at all - all the cooking was done on that stove over our fireplace (which was one wall of the living room). Anyway, I began by handing Dad tools and carrying buckets of nails and got him whatever he needed. His best friend and he were the best at anything they chose to do and neither had a problem teaching me anything I wanted to know. I spent many, many hours sanding the walls smooth after the sheetrock went up and the spackle dried. By the way, I am now over 60 and a female and those skills remain. Terminology has changed, new products are available and there are still those that think they have a clue and don't. I have NEVER in all my years, heard of anyone wetting the paper prior to application (or after application either for that matter). It was always "sheetrock" and "spackle" and we never used a container to hold the compound but we'd plop a good bit on a flat piece of metal that had a handle in the middle of it on the underneath side and you held it in (if you were right-handed) your left hand while you spackled, taped and finished all while using your right hand. That young guy that you showed that prefers wetting his paper tape, obviously is unconcerned with speed and efficiency. I wonder if he ever spackles over nails and sands that even?? I was also taught basic car repair - this all BEFORE pollution controls and electronics. I changed my own oil, air filters, spark plugs & wires and could adjust my own carburetor. It sure was easy back then. Both men are gone now and I miss them and all that I could still learn from them. The younger generations just don't take the pride in their work that once meant so much to all. Their bosses are to blame and most of them have the same attitude. Get it done, hide the defects and move on to the next project because it's about the money and not the quality. Sad.

[@eclectichoosier5474]

The piece of metal with a handle used for holding mortar or joint compound, (which every taper I have ever met just calls "mud,") is called a "hod." I have only used a hod once in my life, when laying brick on a wall in my back yard, so I never really picked up the knack. For most tapers, (or "drywall finishers," to use the more modern term,) the mud is too runny to put on a hod, and we use a tray. The tray also makes it easier to wipe the knife. Plastic trays usually have a strip of steel embedded in the edges just for that purpose. (Actually, finishing mud is thicker than taping mud, so it is possible to use one - but in finishing, it is even more important to be able to wipe the knife between strokes, in order to get a cleaner finish, so it isn't the popular choice.)

[@lcbflorida]

I tell you what. Drywall deserves much more respect. I'm in my second year of apprenticeship with a GC who's done just about everything that don't stink or shock, and after maybe 4 months of pestering him he's fully teaching me how to mud sheetrock from fill to finish. There's a lot of feel involved with mudding that I don't think people recognize, especially considering (like you mentioned) you're using off-white mud on off-white paper. I've found myself having a pretty good time working with rock, hoping to see some improvement soon

I guess I was lucky to have a father who did this for 30+ years, and let me work with him. The few times I've needed to do a repair at my own house, or my friends' houses, it came out great. (Even when I had to skim-coat to make up a 1/8" difference between my 1/2" sheetrock and the huge hole in the plaster ceiling in one of my bedrooms caused by my own idiotic bumbling.) I learned all of these tips before my age had reached double-digits, and I must say that they are all spot-on. All except the mesh and fiber tape. I'll never use anything but paper. Call me old-school. If you know what you're doing, it's the easiest and cheapest thing to use, and I haven't seen it fail yet, when properly applied.

The same goes for mesh tape, when properly applied. Thanks for commenting

My Dad did drywall over 30 yrs too. Grew up play on construction sites. Love the paper tape. ♡ Actually feel pretty lucky too to have had not only a good Dad but, a hardworker who was knowledgeable loved his daughter. He never allowed me to sand. I had fun taping and playing with the mud. Still use it in my art. Good skill to know. I'm amazed at how many people don't know jackshit about construction or repairs. Fewer who have tools. A good handyman is a treasure a truly good one to knowledgeable workers that care about their work. It's a hard exhausting type of work. Just remember my dad covered in drywall dust with drywall screws falling out as he was exhausted.

@@rbrown111964 make a video. Less ideal soliciting a random commentor. Tape always worked for us. Used mesh both. Either way a good drywall job is impressive either direction.

[@rynhanson]

I never stick my mesh tape to the wall. I apply it just like paper tape, making sure the mesh has a layer of durabond under. Like rebar in concrete, you want in in the middle not laying at the bottom for strength

[@rynhanson]

How it to many layers, it is as many layers as paper tape. Wipe the mud on, apply the tape wipe it off, leaving your first coat already done... paper tape and durabond is an easy way for bubbles

@Slade Blackstone I'm not a professional, but the way Ryan tapes is the same as my mentor he's been doing about 30 years. Everyone where I come from say's he's the best there is. From my understanding his reasoning is sound. Time is money however. So my opinion is there's a place for everything. I repair busted rock in double wides after transport. I stick the tape on small cracks, I use quick set on the busted out parts, then tape it. I've had many old timers stop smile at my work and tell me Im good at what I do. I respond that I'm not that good but I did learn from the best very greatfull for my learning. I'm from bama to.

A "Banjo" is the way to go, but it can wear the arm out pretty quickly. I have also thinned mud in my box and pulled the tape through it (holding the tape into the mud with a 4") and then applied it to the wall and and ran the 4" over the tape holding the box underneath to catch the mud. Your second coat is thicker of course. I then use the thinned out mud as a skim coat. This method works good - but you have to work quickly or you get mud all over the place.

[@adammichaelis]

Wetting the tape is common in patch work where I'm at. It allows the tape to stick and not blister with less mud. It's good for beginners that are probably using mud that's not wet enough

[@TheMrpiggyboy]

Great presentation, Most excelrnt for beginers. For larger area, main floor or a basment, I drag the tape through a mud box, simalure to a bazooka, but stationary. I hang the premudded tape over the fingers of my non-dominate hand, about 25 feet at a time or reel a good length into a bucket. Save time not having to coat with mud. I have never tried the fiber tape, always use paper. Use a 6" knife on the tape and inside corners hawk & trowel on the rest.

[@butziporsche8646]

When I was a kid, 70s, we used a Hawk and Trowel. Wasn't until the 80s that I used a taping knife.

[@YTubeScandalScrambledMyHandle]

I still use a hawk & trowel. 13" trowel. Was recently using it & a drywall hanger said it looked strange at first but if he learns to finish, he wants to learn with hawk & trowel. I'll have to admit, it takes a lot of practice, even with knives. Having someone show you how to control the mud/plaster, is a great first step.

[@yunggolem4687]

I've been trying both out and I find the pan and knife a lot easier and faster for initial taping, but for additional coats I find the hawk and trowel to be faster to get mud on the wall. Once you get the technique down you can really push mud onto the wall and the trowel grip is much more ergonomic for a big blade than the 12" knife grip. Those big knives rely a lot more on wrist action to flex them and feather an edge while the trowel is more about arm/shoulder power. When taping with pan and knife you can also get a belt tape dispenser with a pan holder on the top so you don't have to set your pan down to do the taping, you just put it in the holder and it stays with you, no real option to do that with a hawk. The hawk and trowel works great for thicker mud which is good for floating out the joints, but for the thinner mud with a little more water I use for taping I find it very messy and easy to drop mud. I tried working a corner with the trowel and it's doable but awkward, I'm going to my knife and pan for that every time now.

[@stephenwerner1662]

Let me offer some pros and cons. First of all, I've been playing with mud since 1980. Plastering (real plastering) for the first 4 years and then taping ever since. Some of the houses I work on are over 30 million $$$. - pan and knife is neater as you can keep both sides of the knife clean - pan and knife is easier to learn and master - pan and knife is far more convenient while working in areas where you can't easily set down your tools. You can hold it between your knees - hawk and trowel is much faster but applying bulk mud - hawk and trowel tend to fill and level easier than pan and knife - the hawk is easier to keep clean than a pan I use both. Tapes, screws and headers get done with pan and knife. Butts and bead with a trowel. I mix it up a lot as needed. I recommend pan and knife if you don't tape very often. The learning curve of the trowel is a problem if you don't get regular practice.

@@ThatKiltedGuyDIY I have been DIYer for over 40 years and hung a little drywall and finished. After watching this the lightbulb came on that I've should have been verifying enough mud was behind tape joints by doing a sample on scrap drywall and pulling the freshily installed tape. Luckily stuff I've done has held up. Seems to me people are overlooking the value of experienced people sharing mistakes they made and how to avoid .... what is obvious to you isn't necessarily to me. So I appluad you for doing these videos. But that isn't my real question .... My house was built ten years ago, every taped joint in cieling cracked after first winter here in Michigan. Cracks are thru middle of tape, no blisters. I dugout a section and mud is not hard, pulled out easily. Cieling is large (65 x35 feet) with minimal backboarding (only on butt joints that are between rafters and none along long edges of boards with factory beveled edges) and no expansion joints. No insulation either. It was glued and screwed to cieling joists and that appears to be holding up ok. My plan to repair is removed old tape, scrape off all mud from joint and in crack between sheets of drywall. Prefill with Durabond, backboard all joints, retape using Durabond, finish with general purpose compound adding Trim Tec expansion strips about every 25 feet. I plan to repaint cieling when done, but not insulate attic over garage. Do you think this will prevent repaired cieling from cracking or is there a better approach? I plan to hire job out, but want to know how this needs to be done correctly. Doing this twice is bad enough ... don't want to do it three times.

Ed, I wrote a reply above and found yours. I was taught by old timers to wet my tape before applying it . It didn't matter if it was hot. They never used a banjo or any other assisted tool besides there hands and hand tools. I had to precut my tape, throw it in water then apply it over the mud. I couldn't believe the adhesion I got by doing this, it really stuck to the sheetrock and never did I have a pop under the tape. On your next job, try a piece and test it. Today, we mix mud loose enough so the tape absorbs the water at a much slower rate.
