"I'm gonna leave that alone... nah, I'm not gonna leave that alone." 😄 Sometimes the hardest part of mudding is knowing when to "leave it alone." Thanks for another great video!
Shannon Dargue ain’t that the truth...I question myself from time to time and if it ain’t a good first pass then just know it’s not the end of the world.
Hey I do a lot of drywall work, I’m not professional, but I am good, there’s no way I can do that half as fast and nice as you do, my drywall contractor friend that does work on my bigger jobs isn’t even that fast. So you need to explain to your viewers that you make it look super easy, when it super difficult!!! Thanks for the videos!!
It's a pleasure to watch your videos. Every plasterer in Ireland should watch these vids, in order to do quality. Painting after them it's a nightmare, but that's the standard. No straight corners, no straight paint cut-ins. 😈
Thanks for all the great videos. I'm a bricky by trade, so i know a craftsman when i see one! You're helping this guy, with his moderate trowel skills, remodel a fixer upper i bought, so thanks!
I have watched all your videos I like the way you explain everything I have learned a lot from you and thank you keep up the videos and thank you for what you do
"Im gonna leave it alone, oh no im not" 🤣 "Im gonna leave this butt joint, oh no im not, im gonna do it" Love your work champ! One of the best in the business! Thank you!
I enjoy your videos. You use all the same tools that I grew up using. The walk-up benches or horses, the mud stomper or potato masher. Tools I don't see in other's videos. Funny thing. I grew up in Wyoming learning g drywall there. Moved to new Mexico they saw the mud stomper or potato masher and asked me why I had a bean masher. Got a laugh out of that. I guess it made sense though. Don't see many guys use them nowadays. Thanks for the videos
This guy know what he is doing,I would enjoy working with him.if u watch how a guy handle a pan and knife u can tell real quick he is a pro . Like the comment about the glue.
I have watched your videos and noticed everytime you apply your mud it looks very smooth. When I (apprentice) use any type of the setting compound thoroughly mixed, it goes on like I through hand fulls of trash in it. What's up with that?
Any idea why the 12 inch "filler strip" was put in at waist height, instead of putting it at the top or the bottom edge, which would have made all the horizontal joints taper joints? (instead of a butt to taper joint?)
VC Doesn;t matter since all the joints are taped, and by being upright when plastering one can move much more efficiently; saves the back too. Look how fast he can lay down the mud.
Is it a camera defect or what. Why is the the mud yellow. And another question? I do alit of drywall/plaster patching, what do you recommend to add to the product to color/ tint to differentiate and know what you did vs old
I had trouble the last time that I ran my angles. The edge didn’t feather as well as normal. I thought maybe the mud was too thick. The other thought was that I had the factory edge against some existing drywall. I was wonder if the bevel caused it? I use a 2.5 after taping and a 3.5 to coat. Both are Columbia direct flushers using a compound tube. Thoughts?
they started putting whole house smoke detectors in all of the furnace rooms and stopped all of the fire rating taping everything on residential housing here
Thank you for your amazing videos. Very much appreciated. Quick question: when taping a butt joint against a factory tapered edge, do you apply the tape as usual, and just deal with the elevation differences during the subsequent coating steps?
I had to delete my comment about the blister after watching more of the video ...Nice work. Always wondered why the hangers didn't use 54" board or place the cut edge on the bottom or the top.
I like all my tips at the top if possible..the more seems above eye level the better...it cuts the bitching out from contractors..keep them high for the style man..👍
Hey wait a second, how come my drywall projects never look so clean? Oh that’s right, i dont do dry way as a drywall only dude... but i am pretty close. With some sandpaper, pva and maybe some texture I pass quality control. But there’s nothing to compare to an experienced drywall guy. Respect
Use 5/8" rock for the walls. And 1/2" for the bastard joint. The 1/2" bastard joint gets one 1/16" shim behind it. And a second shim laid horizontal in the middle of the bastard ripper. Then you basically have the equivalent two factory edges. The butt joint bastards are ok with textured walls. But don't fly well on level 5 smooth finish.
On the first pass on the lower horizontal joint you load a lot of mud on the knife and run along the joint without a single drop falling onto the floor. How the HECK do you do that ??? When I try that I get about 1/3 of the mud on the floor. I understand moving the knife "sideways" when placing the mud on the joint but in this case you didn't do that.
@@williammilliken7287 I can set the biggest steps in butt joins flat. I set down the middle to make sure there's mud each side of the tape. Then I side wider and wider. If you start setting side by side the tape all you do is great a larger hump.
I could have but I would have still been standing around for another half hour waiting for it to set up my next video shows me skimming that the next day it was a beautiful level 5 finish
You definitely should he using butt boards. It creates a recess and you can coat it just like a flat seam. If you started using them you'd never go back.
Watching this guy do his magic is so satisfying...
Nice work! Only video I could find that addressed the "factory joint to butt/cut joint" scenario. Bravo.
You gotta respect this man and his craft. Knife level: EXPERT.
He's top of experts. Respect.
Finally a video where someone knows how to feather. Great job from taper to taper 👍🏼
What a true artist looks like
I like how he started off the mud at 5:00 and pulled into it to feather it. Being just a homeowner finishing up my own drywall this is gold!!

I'm still at the stage in my career where I ALWAYS mess with it, and nearly always regret it, haha... maybe someday I'll stop over tooling my mud.
Yep I work with a guy that seems to forget you still have to sand it anyway. He'll pick the damn corners till there's no mud left in em 😄
Wow... I love the way you explain everything as you work perfectly...

Thanks for the tips Doc. Looks like your helper/camera guy is back...or new one! :)
That's skill.
My attempt would result in removing most of it off the floor.
Ive spent 6 1/2 years tapping drywall and over the years i only dislike cutting in and fixing others dry tapes
Good to see ya Doc!! God bless you from let’s Go Painting and Drywalling
Quick as 1 2 3 ... And go on the next one.. Awesome job ... U make it easy 👍👍..
love your vids...I'm positive I've worked on a job with you...years ago...I think in Batavia or Geneva....thanks for the videos they are awesome....
Great explanation!

Yes

Do you normally coat the flats and butts with the concave or convex side of the knife?
Yeah I wish I was as good toppings with my 10” as he is, freaking amazing and just a ball to watch.
We call those belly bands!! Nice vid!
Do you use both sides of knife or only oneside. Usually those knifes are flat ?
Depends on the knife a set of my knives you can only use one side because they have a bend in them.
So I heard Durabond 45 for the taping. It was Durabond 90 for the blocking coat you showed? Meaning tape, block and skim as the three coats.
I don't count prefill as a coat
I have watched your videos and noticed everytime you apply your mud it looks very smooth. When I (apprentice) use any type of the setting compound thoroughly mixed, it goes on like I through hand fulls of trash in it. What's up with that?
Practice 😆 🤣
Do you want to have the tape to show thru slightly on your first n second coat. But still wet the tape.
artist!
very good 👍
Any idea why the 12 inch "filler strip" was put in at waist height, instead of putting it at the top or the bottom edge, which would have made all the horizontal joints taper joints? (instead of a butt to taper joint?)
that's the way I like it easy to reach
V C how about 54” then only one factory?
If I HAD to put that belly band and I couldn’t get 54” in there I would put it where I could reach also. I HATE taping joints close to the floor
VC Doesn;t matter since all the joints are taped, and by being upright when plastering one can move much more efficiently; saves the back too. Look how fast he can lay down the mud.
Your the man
I have those same wireless earbuds, jlabs from ball mart. They're pretty decent when the battery decides to hold a charge.
Looks fantastic from my house...
Is it a camera defect or what. Why is the the mud yellow. And another question? I do alit of drywall/plaster patching, what do you recommend to add to the product to color/ tint to differentiate and know what you did vs old
It comes that way it's pigmented + 3
When connecting new drywall to old drywall must I remove all old tape from old drywall or can I just tape over old stuff?
only if its loose and blistering off
@@THEDRYWALLDOCTOR1 thank you very much.

Never used a compound tube and the flashers once I really don't have the experience to answer that.
You don’t have to tape all the beam and plumbing penetrations for fire code? We do herein PA.
they started putting whole house smoke detectors in all of the furnace rooms and stopped all of the fire rating taping everything on residential housing here
How do I find finishing work like you Doc?
I don't know. Back in my day, it was just common sense. There is no common sense anymore.
@@THEDRYWALLDOCTOR1 Give your heart to Jesus! Almighty God is still on his throne! And vote for Trump 2024 🇺🇸

Can I ask what type and brand of mud you’re using? I’m always finding the grey stuff.. never the yellowish color.

How do you tint the mud?
It comes that way
Doc why do you tint your mud and what do you tint it with?
It aint tinted buddy
@@ELC951 ok then, what is it and why does he use it, buddy.
It's + 3 pigmented it comes that way
👍👍😊
Where do you get your tinted mud. Here in texas you can't find it anywhere. Ive even done the caulk line chalk tip before but its way too much trouble
They make a product Google drywall tent for mud you can get it at Amazon
I love the ending of the video 😂
What kind of glue do you use for drywall to stud?

Sorry northern Illinois
Beautiful work.
I would make a complete mess😁
When your coating that butt, does it rock back and forth if your finished sanding it
No
@@THEDRYWALLDOCTOR1 how wide do you go with it , do you check it with say a 48 inch straight edge
My next video is skinning that wall you'll see

Wow Look So Easy..... I know you have a lot experience
Did someone piss in that mud? 🤣
All kidding aside....this guy is a pro!
I hope so... I've done it a bunch.
Iv'e heard these called "bastard" joints. They're not my favorite to tape 😁. Thanks Doc.
We call them "Canadian joints" here in Michigan

I know everyone has their own style and techniques. I wouldn't set like that.
Butt joins are first with a 13" trowel down the middle.
U cant pull them down the middle if the butt joint is rocking ..there will be a hump in the wall when finished an painted
@@williammilliken7287 I can set the biggest steps in butt joins flat. I set down the middle to make sure there's mud each side of the tape. Then I side wider and wider.
If you start setting side by side the tape all you do is great a larger hump.
I gotcha sam...I pull trip 12's on butts then when drys put mud accordingly...basically probably the same at the end...good finishing brother...
I'm a plumber and I really like to do drywall. Not for pay-then it would be a job lol
Why wouldn't you let tape dry ?
I could have but I would have still been standing around for another half hour waiting for it to set up my next video shows me skimming that the next day it was a beautiful level 5 finish
Very nice. You are a master at your profession.
The lingo for these Trade Jobs in Canada are very different , However the finish product is the same.
Ready for a good laugh??? Our tapes use ONLY EASY SAND 45 ALL THREE COATS!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Tapers. Typo
How do u sand durobond....a side grinder.lol
👍
Meanwhile here in the Philippines we use 4 - 6" (palita)[dont know the eng term] to do that. 😁
This guy has done this a few times.
Tat isn't what the wall would look like if I did it. I'd be like "this isn't working so well. Let's put in another window"
Key words.......don't play with it too.much
You definitely should he using butt boards. It creates a recess and you can coat it just like a flat seam. If you started using them you'd never go back.
bearded rider yup
You can put any edge against any other edge cause "finishers" (taper is what happens to turds comin out your butt) will fix it.
My butt hurts from watching this.
should always tape butt joints first its crazy to see a full time drywaller that doesnt know that
