Great tutorial. Good to see overlapping similarities and slight differences between my technique and yours. No matter how long I've been doing this I always check out how other pros do it. Adds to the arsenal of applications.
Oh my I just wanted to let you know that you're an amazing person in REALLY EXPLAINING all work that you do and show to everyone watching your videos. Thank you.
I saw another vid on patching and mixing 45 min mud, he said you got to mix it make sure you get all the lumps out. What's the deal as It looks like there were plenty of lumps in his mix. Yes I look at his results that are perfect but all us DIY patcher are not as skilled with the knife as him.
I have a new appreciation for plasterers after removing some tiles in my kitchen. Patching up the holes in the plaster has been such a pain. It might look flat but if I shine a light across that surface and it'll look *really* bad
Yup! I only recently discovered the powdered setting mud in the past few years, for some reason it's not too popular here in NY. Amazing stuff!!! In addition to drying fast, it doesn't shrink!! You can fill big voids with thick mud in one shot, then a thin coat of EZ sand bucket stuff to finish.
Enjoyed the video Ethan. That was interesting and I learned something new. Thanks for taking the time to produce the video. Y'all stay well and God bless.
Like all of your videos, this is extremely helpful and informative. Even with things I’m familiar with, I always get something out of your presentations.
you all probably dont give a damn but does anybody know a method to get back into an Instagram account? I somehow lost the password. I love any tricks you can offer me!
@Kristian Silas i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Wish I didnt just see this video. Guess I wasted my money on a bucket of mud. I wont buy one ever again. I'll follow your video. Thanks for the information.
Lol,. This guy is full of shit. Bucket mud is perfect for beginners. Actual Drywall crews use bucket mud exclusively.. once your good enough with bucket mud you'll know when to use hot mud.
Bucket mud is good it just takes longer to dry and if you were skim coating walls ( making them smooth) I recommend the bucket it has a glue in it and sands easier. You could use powder for First coats and then use bucket for finish coat.
My current project is renovating used and abandoned mobile homes; i.e. trailers. I'm studying the best way to repair drywall in trailers. But i hear that drywall in trailers is different than ordinary homes. But none the less, I'm deeply impressed with your technique and skill. I will look into this further.
Just found this video and it was EXPERTLY explained and demo-ed! As a novice, I found this explanation to be super helpful. I appreciate this so much. Thank you and a hearty hello from the great Pacific Northwest, Lakewood, Washington! 💛🖤💛 Stacy's Artful Heart
I've used one for the past 15 years and never had an issue or a call back. I think it could depend on the mud you are using and if its prone to not have much glue in it
@@A.S.P.R. Yeah the powdered compound or real plaster needs water and time to rehydrate. Once the mud has set, it can be dried out quickly. But remove the water prior to hydration and the gypsum or lime does not crystalize properly. Once the mud has set, it can be dried out quickly. We have been doing plasters, mostly with integral color, for around 40 years.
Hi Ethan, thanks for the video! I am working on a tiny home that has wood paneling. I was going to use joint compound for the joints but am now thinking it will too easily crack. I was looking at your Bondo video and considered that a better alternative but wanted to know if you thought it would work or if you could recommend another product more flexible
Are joints Tounge and grove? Are trying make wall look flat or just want fill in gaps? What about None shrinking wood fillers or an Good Painter's Caulk.
Yes. If its hot mud its usually dry at 4 to 5 times what the bag says which is working time. If its humid it might take longer. Hot and arid is faster. Put a fan on it to increase timing in any condition.
Minimal dust left by either a dustless Porter Cable sander or hand sanding. Been doing this work for almost 40 years and no need to dust the wall after sanding and before priming.
To join existing drywall joint that has metal flashing behind it - do I need to chip out the compound a little when joining to new construction. This case, lower a closet door opening for new barn door type.
If you'd like to be productive instead of wasting time with a very slow heat gun on a fairly large area, get a fan gently blowing across the wall and go do something else for a little while.
1) is this the same exact thing you would do on drywall with the same product? 2) in the end you mentioned bucket mod being different from this, what's the difference?
Bucket mud is easier to sand, last for month if not years in the bucket, so you aren't throwing away the unused portions, it doesn't ruin your tools if you let it dry on them, and is much easier to use for beginners. You really don't want to use 5, 20, 45, or 90 minute mud on your final coat. It's too hard, it's hard to sand and doesn't take paint as well. Stick to the bucket unless you have 1/4 inch or deeper gaps to fill.
You can get all the information that guy is selling, on youtube for free. From what I've seen here, you are better off with the free content, this place excluded.
Phil is awesome with his technique
Total time from mix to sand for a small repair approx. 20 min. (using 5 min. and a heat gun).
Super easy to follow. Thanks!
You’re welcome, Leah, thanks for watching! 🙂

Thanks Sean! Philip is great to film-he’ll fly through a wall like this. Wish I had your plastering skills!
Great tutorial, thanks!!
Pros doesn’t use the term “plaster” for drywall mud. It’s either drywall mud or Venetian plaster or acrylic plaster. All very different things.
Oh my I just wanted to let you know that you're an amazing person in REALLY EXPLAINING all work that you do and show to everyone watching your videos. Thank you.
I totally agree!

And all of us DIY patchers don’t have dry guns..

Use brown bag Durabond to repair Plaster
Use easy sand on the 2nd coat

Hi, you do a great job narrating the video and what he was doing, but why they are not doing the talk?
Just found this video and it was EXPERTLY explained and demo-ed! As a novice, I found this explanation to be super helpful. I appreciate this so much. Thank you and a hearty hello from the great Pacific Northwest, Lakewood, Washington! 💛🖤💛 Stacy's Artful Heart
...This was awesome! Thank you for your generosity!
Hmm. You really don't want to dry a setting compound out before it sets up. It will lose all strength.
I've used one for the past 15 years and never had an issue or a call back. I think it could depend on the mud you are using and if its prone to not have much glue in it
@@Van_bya_river ...appreciate your dialogue because we can all learn from it :) xoxo
Never found that to be the case.

@@endoalley680 I guess I didn't understand your original statement. I agree....let it set first, then quick dry.
Great video and information. Actually learned something new. Thanks.
Why did he change over to the 45 minute compound from the 5 minute?
Great video! Thank you!
What are you doing wrong when it looks like you've done a perfect mud job; but as soon as you hit with primer, it comes off on your roller?
Bad adhesion, substrate was shiny, oily, dusty, chemically incompatible, too porous; some or all of the above.
...I've heard that's why they add watered down wood/carpenters glue into the water before adding drywall powder.
Also, they paint it onto the wall
You are mudding over plaster that is not bonded to the surface below it. Improper prep before mudding.
My old painted woodwork is covered in places with painted-over chips. Any pro techniques for fixing them?
Methyl or isopropyl alcohol .
Subscribed.
Why do you need two coats? The first looks like it covered everything. Does it shrink?
Hi Ethan, thanks for the video! I am working on a tiny home that has wood paneling. I was going to use joint compound for the joints but am now thinking it will too easily crack.

Are joints Tounge and grove? Are trying make wall look flat or just want fill in gaps? What about None shrinking wood fillers or an Good Painter's Caulk.
Can you just let it dry naturally?
Yes. If its hot mud its usually dry at 4 to 5 times what the bag says which is working time. If its humid it might take longer. Hot and arid is faster. Put a fan on it to increase timing in any condition.
No sponge to wipe up the dust that's left on the wall?
Steve.
I use a damp microfiber cloth
Minimal dust left by either a dustless Porter Cable sander or hand sanding. Been doing this work for almost 40 years and no need to dust the wall after sanding and before priming.
I like your channel
To join existing drywall joint that has metal flashing behind it - do I need to chip out the compound a little when joining to new construction. This case, lower a closet door opening for new barn door type.
Why does no one talk about Plaster of Paris? Fast, hard, and no shrinkage.
These setting compounds have plaster of Paris in them. That’s why they dry hard and fast
That’s what she said
I would say that those consistencies are more like frosting and cookie dough.
If you'd like to be productive instead of wasting time with a very slow heat gun on a fairly large area, get a fan gently blowing across the wall and go do something else for a little while.
Of course. Heat gun is for small spots. We use a large 5000 CFM fan for bigger areas.
Can you apply the same technique with cracks?
Just get a plasterer in no sanding
1) is this the same exact thing you would do on drywall with the same product?
2) in the end you mentioned bucket mod being different from this, what's the difference?
Bucket mud is easier to sand, last for month if not years in the bucket, so you aren't throwing away the unused portions, it doesn't ruin your tools if you let it dry on them, and is much easier to use for beginners.

Thanks so much bro keep up the good work
You Should Never Plan On Sanding - Then You End Up With Very Little Sanding (Sanding Hard)(and Dirty) 😷
Hard to eliminate all sanding, but that being said, the goal is to have such good mudding technique that the sanding is minimal.
That's fast?😂😂
Should a skip trowel be done on a second coat or add a third
Really really needed this so much. Thank you.😊
great video!
how old is that plaster and what brand? will this work on plaster less than 60 days?
Not sure what your question is getting at.
Good to Know I have too patch up a wall?
What about cracks in plaster?
No gloves no 😷
That's right. Some people have a different level of risk tolerance than you do.
"...little pieces of grit..."
Or as I call them, Boogers.
LMAO
I did metal work for a bit and picked up on calling them “Slag”
...I'm gonna use that one ...lol!
Thumbs up. I am trying to undo Spanish knife texture. Ugh.
Would the build up cause humps
How is the mud different from already made I think puddy?
Powdered fast setting is way harder than premade bucket or box mud.
great video
Thanks for the refresher!
I enjoyed watching this
comment
There's a lot of interesting stuff here but I'm kind of confused because my drywall has a texture to it that this doesn't have.
Because you are looking at a plaster wall, not drywall.
Thank you!!!
"Easy Sand" Hands down the biggest fucking lie in all of construction.
Try improving your mudding skills first. Then use a dustless drywall sanding system.
👌🔥🔥👌🔥🔥👌
Excelente
Wow that was the exactly what I needed!
Good to hear, Pernell! 🙂
Masks?????
Why American Contractors not use Drywall Flat Boxes for Taping.?
I’m skim coating a wall paper removal
Don't forget to use some bin zinsser primer first😉. That will allow to cover any exposed paper from removal and prevent bubbling
