How To Fix Peeling Drywall

[@dr.greenbodythehealer6253]

There is a specific primer you use on that drywall with a brown paper exposed

[@royalrhinointeriors]

You could use that. Or any primer works as well.

[@tumai3773]

@@royalrhinointeriorsThank you! I really wanted to know if there was a specific one. Good to know any primer works 😊

[@LSUTigerMom]

I used Zinnser B-I-N primer and it worked great. The first primer I used did not work at all. I don’t remember what it was.

[@royalrhinointeriors]

@LSUTigerMom nice

[@nczioox1116]

What brand?

[@atthismoment3006]

😂 what the heck you didnt say what you used?

[@royalrhinointeriors]

Information should be in the full video. But I used regular latex primer, and drywall finishing compound.

[@scottspeig]

I did something similar, only when painting the paint just outside of my patch came away :'( that was a bad day of painting...

[@royalrhinointeriors]

That's odd I wonder why

[@scottspeig]

@@royalrhinointeriors Yep! Go further than you think in your repair. That's all I'll say about that...

[@lumailisa]

What's the name of the tool you use to get the paint off?

[@royalrhinointeriors]

It's normally called a taping knife, or putty knife. You can find them at any hardware stores like Lowes or home depot.

[@6thDAY]

Why did you add a 2nd coat of mud? It seems like the first was smooth enough already with no hard edges?

[@royalrhinointeriors]

I'm picky so I wanted it to look perfect. And it was in the middle of a wall that is highly visible. Some spots I'm sure you could get away with 1 coat.

[@6thDAY]

@@royalrhinointeriorsthank you. Another question, would using Drydex Spackle work just as well as the Joint Compound you used?

[@royalrhinointeriors]

I think it could work for smaller patches. But larger patches I recommend joint compound

[@santiagocordova5653]

Never seen this process done before, why not use mesh tape and apply mud ? Asking because that’s how I see the guys do it lol.

[@royalrhinointeriors]

Mesh tape is used when fixing smaller holes or cracks. What I am showing is how to fix peeling paint. Mesh tape isn't needed for this.

[@J2511c]

Doing a similar project, why do you put primer on first? Can’t you just throw compound on, sand then prime/paint? Thanks in advance!!

[@royalrhinointeriors]

Sometimes when you do it that way the brown paper tends to bubble up after mudding it. Not always though. If you prime it first then it will not bubble for sure because it seals the brown paper.

[@darrenrodd.]

That will just peel off again you should have applied peel stop then prime it

[@royalrhinointeriors]

No it wont

[@Ccb516lira]

I wold do some light send after prime dry

[@royalrhinointeriors]

It isn't needed, but it won't hurt.

[@cheezemen5092]

Any recommendations for mud?

[@royalrhinointeriors]

I recommend any drywall finishing compound, that way it'll sand easily. I use Synko brand, and typically the red/green box.

[@Shuyaxin2]

What is the second thing he applied?

[@royalrhinointeriors]

Drywall compound

[@Shuyaxin2]

@@royalrhinointeriors the one that just got mixed with the original wall

[@royalrhinointeriors]

@Shuyaxin2 that's just primer

[@Shuyaxin2]

Is it’s same for all wall because some walls are white but they are different type of white?

[@royalrhinointeriors]

@Shuyaxin2 what I put on was just a white primer. But I still need to paint it whatever the wall color is later on

[@Svet-Lana2022]

What type of primer?

[@royalrhinointeriors]

Any water-based latex primer will work great

Full tutorial?Sir

[@royalrhinointeriors]

@@LoveAman333 yes check out the channel page for Full tutorial

[@ricardoruiz2800]

Why do you paint before applying the filler?

[@royalrhinointeriors]

Sometimes when you just fill it onto the brown paper, the paper bubbles and it becomes more work to fix. If you prime it first and then mud it, it wont bubble.

[@ricardoruiz2800]

Thanks!
