This by far is some of the best videos on taping and mudding, thanks
These dudes know what they're doing! Awesome video.
Thank you I love it how you explained. I m going to do my daughter's room. With the help of my friend. Two females.
I have done some project before. But this is the first time doing drywall.
Thanks for the training videos. It helps me understand how to do things correctly!
Thanks dude! We appreciate the positive comments. Good luck w/ your projects.
Eddie
I know you are doing an instructional video for first timers and all, but as a finisher, it's so hard to watch a professional such as yourself not sliding your knife lol. Good work.
Thanks Isaac! We're glad our drywall finishing tips are helping folks with their projects. Thanks for stopping by our basement finishing video channel.
Eddie
WOW your videos are amazing. We just purchased our first home and we decided to do certain things ourselves instead of taking 30 years to pay for them. Therefore, we are going to sheetrock our garage but needed some guidance. Your video explains a lot of things that we didn't understand. Defintely looking forward to this DIY project.
I like that more than one person talks that other guy has a lot of good input just keep doing what you're doing Eddie! Love the videos now I just need to buy the real thing
Thanks Seth!
Great videos, very helpful! Hey, it's my uncle Tom!!
I learned to tape drywall with an Ames automatic taper (bazooka) and flat boxes in the late 1970's. I was pretty pleased with myself. Then in the 1990's I worked with a hand taper who was excellent. Never got mud on himself or the floor. His hand taping was done a little different than this. But man he could tape 150 to 200 12' sheets a day by himself. Super clean. His hand finish work looked like it was done with a flat box. Everything dead straight and quite fast. All the guys in the crew really cleaned up their act after working with him.
Let's hear it for the "old-timers"! Some of the best are already long gone from this earth! They did things the right way and their work showed it.
Awesome! Glad the videos did their job. Thanks for checking out our basement finishing videos. Were always around if you have any questions about your project Ann!
Eddie
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Great video. God Bless
Hey Andrew! Yes we use it occasionally, but we most stock the paper tape so that's what we run most of the time! Thanks for stopping by and checking out our drywall training videos. Thanks for the positive comment as well.
Eddie
Just by watching his shoes and hands I know that he is not a foreman, but he is the one how runs the jobs and the crews 😎👏👏👏
Hey Nikki! Great! I'm glad the drywall videos are helping you you decide to do the work yourself.
Eddie
Thanks for the educational video... we're finishing our basement this summer.
Wish I would've watched this BEFORE I started my project. Good stuff! Next room will go smoother I'm sure!
Thanks Keith! It's our pleasure man. We like making these drywall training videos and basement finishing videos! Thanks for stopping by our basement finishing training channel!
Eddie
good job keep up the good work guys
I feel like a pro now!
Thanks, you demonstrated that quiet well!
OK We just linked them all in Playlist format!
Thanks for the feedback.
Eddie
Yes they are Michael! Thanks for commenting on our drywall finishing videos.
Very informative. Wish I would have watched this before I did my bedroom it would have saved me a ton of time lol.
where is the part 3 to tape the corners? these videos are awesome. thank you for posting them.
Butts,flats then angles.... in that sequence~>
thanks for great tips! where can we watch the full length video? i'm also curious about the corner taping section which was cut short here..
Finish taping is some what physical but not to bad if your in reasonable shape . On the other hand hanging drywall is but there is good money in that part of the trade too I started out as boarder for the first 8 yrs or so then got in to the finishing and spraying textured ceiling
Ahhh the tricks of the trade...Yes it does take a little practice to get the drywall finishing techniques down-pat! Thanks for viewing our drywall finishing videos!
Eddie
no problem. great video by the way!
thank you for your wisdom and advice. perhaps if i can get a helper or apprentice positon it will be easer to learn. one other question sir, is this work very physical demanding? like lots of heavy lifting and such?
10 years later? Are you still doing drywall? Ect….good video
Why yes we are... Thanks for watching!
Thanks guys
Great video. Thanks!
Thanks!
This is great. Thanks very much.
Your welcome Ken...Thanks for watching!
Eddie
super helpful, thanks
Thanks for watching Matt! Good luck with your finishing...
Eddie
Nice vid guys . Ever tried Webbing tape Eddie ?IT can be glued to the joints and you only need to do prep work on butt joints.
thanks guys
cool video. subscribed.
Thanks for the kind words 3MUL8 your a champ.
WOW! You use a bazooka! That's cool. I have never used one but have watched you guys use them in the past. That drywall bazooka is a very cool tool. I'm sure it take a bit of practice to get that technique down to perfection! Thanks for watching and for your comments! Take care.
Eddie
Tom has mad skills.
+Ron Towers Tom is the BEST! Great guy...we're glad to have him on our team! He'll give you the shirt off his back.
Eddie
I wish I watched this last night!!!!!!
Cutting out the boxes is for outlets and switches is part of the Drywall series located at the Basement Store.
You should try Fibra-Fuse tape. You'll never go back to paper. It's not mesh tape, it's micro thin fiberglass matting. Doesn't require the 1/32" behind the tape, so it sits flatter to the board with a stronger mechanical bond.
Try it out. I get mine at S-W.
Definitely one of the better how to videos I have seen. I like all the little small tips that a first timer or DIYer wouldn't know. Thanks!
The quick and easy way to cut out boxes is use a keyhole saw .
Cut from top to bottom and left to right inside the box making a +. Then using a
drywall knife cut down both sides and across top and bottom right at the edge of your saw cuts
You can then break out the drywall inside the box with your knife handle and then saw around the outside of
the box . Just use the tip of your saw so you don't break the drywall . I see this reply was 5 months ago but I thought I would reply to this anyway
Thanks for watching and commenting Tim. Glad the Drywall finishing video footage has helped you with your drywall projects! Take care my friend!
Eddie
What is the cost estimate to have this done to a room this size?
Hey William! Thanks for watching. Well now you will be well prepared for the next drywall project you start!
Eddie
What if we were to sing the training acapella style while juggling the cameras would that work better for you?
great vid....thank you...contractors dont wanna take the time to teach this stuff anymore, how can us greenhorns get the experiance if no one wants to teach us...keep them coming!!!!
I learnt the hard way about the mud being to dry{ seriously bad bubbles and botched it first go}
Changed the mix to you recommendation and it all worked out fine 2nd go.
Thanks for the tip and hope all is well with you.
Your welcome! Thanks for stopping by our UA-cam Channel and watching these how to drywall videos!
Eddie
Paper tape is the industry standard.
Yep
I was in the drywall trade 38 yrs I wouldn't use mesh tape for much . It's only
good for small repairs at best . Paper tape is much stronger
These videos will help you do a small project but not info to make a living at it . I think to do this right you need to work with a machine taper. The only way a make good money is to learn how to use a bazooka and 10 &12 inch finish boxes There lots of other tools to like bead rollers and angle flushers . There are some good hand tapers out there but speed is the name of the game . Contractors expect near flawless work these days
Are the butt joints mudded, taped, and mudded again like the tapered joints?
I have an unfinished basement and have never seen let alone actually drywalled. First time home owner. Nevertheless, these videos are very well instructed. The best I've seen by far.
thank you. for your help. atte. ALEX YOU ARE THE BEST.... gracias por tsu ayuda... ATTE. ALEX
¡ Gracias a mucho Alex! Gracias por pasar por nuestro canal de sótano Thank You very much Alex Thanaks for stopping by our basement channel!
Eddie
WHERE IS THE REST OF THE VIDEO?? THE LINK DOESN'T WORK!!!!!
Eddie! I have some bigger gaps around my ceiling from the floor joist being so wavy. Should I use a quick set to fill the gaps first and should I let it dry then tape or do it all in one shot? Thanks in advance keep the sweet videos coming!
Hey man! OK...just tape the joints first as normal and then during the 2nd and 3rd coats fill-in the waves between the joists until you even the "humps" out. Always tape first!
Eddie
BasementFinishingMan
Thanks! I didn't know that either I'm talking the gaps between the wall and ceiling drywall. Do I fill the gaps with a quick set so it doesn't shrink? Thanks for the quick response you've made my basement project run smoothly!
love your videos. I do wish you would link them to each other though. Thx
Mud knife, is that what they're called? I've just been calling them spackle blades.
Your welcome! Good luck w/ your basement finishing. Drop me a line if you have any questions about your project.
Eddie
be nice to read the info IF the "subscribe here" bubble wasn't blocking the text
Maybe you didn't know this S Garra but all you have to do is click on the "X" in the subscribe here box and the subscribe here box will disappear. Sorry about the interference!
Eddie
dude, thanks for your videos. I am thinking of changing trades and may get into Drywall Taping. Is there anything i should be aware of before getting into the trade?
Not really... except that it's a physically demanding trade so be prepared to become physically fit if your not already!
haha , nice I kind of need a job I can really bust my ass, as long as it pays off. I am coming from Automotive
The fact you will want to drink your face off after every day of work, the way of the drywaller
Sorensenator86 damn I don't drink haha
nineridesshotgun thats good, makes for an easier day and better work
Wet and creamy... Just how I like it.
Yes sir!
Jaz you need to be shooting me a text then! 🤫
Cool Hwhip?
Yep...Cool Whip! Nice and creamy brother like you could just spread it on on cake! Then she's ready to come off your drywall knives and onto the board! Thanks for visiting our Basement Finishing Channel Peter.
Eddie
can all purpose joint compound be used to bed tape and as a finish coat?
Yes absolutely! Tape and all finish coats and cornerbead work all with the same Joint compound is done all the time by the pro's.
Eddie
should use green lid usg not not mid- drys harder
sorry but you misunderstood my post. i said it doesnt LOOK hard. i didnt say drywalling isnt hard. what do you mean do all the above? what should i do
WE only use paper tape!
do you have to tape the screw holes?
No just the seams and corners.
No...just the seams between the drywall. Nails or screws are just filled and sanded to finish.
Eddie
Thats a paint paddle!!!😁😁😁
We want to do away with the wood walls in our house but with us living in it with kids and it being built in the 20s we are concerned about what's behind the walls and if it's hazardous. Could we throw dry wall over the wood walls? Luckily it wasn't that way in the bathroom so I was able to get that done with the kids gone for the weekend but the wood runs through out the rest of the house. Thanks!!
Ashley Wilt If the wood surface is nice and "flat", secured well and in decent shape you could surely drywall over it. But...I would personally rip that wood off one wall and see what you have behind it! It might just be old plaster and that's not a hazard to work with, and I would rather drywall over old plaster than a wood wall. Thanks for stopping by my channel Ashley!
Eddie
BasementFinishingMan awesome thanks for the heads up!! You guys explain things very well so even I can understand and feel a little more comfortable taking on some home improvements myself. Keep up the good work!!
Your welcome Ashley. Thanks for stopping by our Basement Channel and for commenting. Good luck with your drywall project...let us know how you make out.
Eddie
the only problem i am having is finding your videos in order
Do you have your videos on a pay-to-stream service? I went to your website but it looks like they are DVDs and I have not had a DVD player in many years. Maybe they are a file download. It's hard to tell and I don't want to purchase if they are DVDs.
Hi Jon! They area all Streaming Video Format inside the members area that you can simply watch on any computer, pad or smart phone 24/7 from any location. You can also download any of the videos to your computer as well...but this is totally optional. Most of my students Stream them. They are not DVD's! Here's the link to the Streaming Video basement finishing training members area>>>> eddie-case.mykajabi.com/store/ZNDvAVqL Thanks for your interest Jon...hope to see you inside the members area soon. ~Eddie
what do ya do when Mudd is drying clumping up in hoot weather
If you're referring to mud in your 5 gallon bucket clumping...first keep your lid clean and on tight when not using the mud. You can add a little water to the mud and use a mixing paddle and a drill to "whip-up" the mud until it becomes "creamy" again.
Eddie
Basement Finishing Man I'm talking about it on the hawk drying up
How long does it take you guys to finish a basement?
2 to 4 weeks on average depending on the size and the complexity of the project.
Eddie
i run all my box work with no water And i never put water in the mud when filling my Tube .
Who ever sheet rocked it did a good job I’m doing a 800 board job right now and the sheet rockers did a horrible job
trick to doing corners .. use a corner blade. Mud pan... how about a using a hawk
Some like the corner blade and some do not...A hawk is also personal preference...both work equally as well in the hands of those who know how to use them. Thanks for stopping by the channel J!
J Walter That's for people who need a corner blade. Some folks are good enough not to need it.
I use fiber tape on my bazooka
why not double sided tape
WHAT CAUSES A CRACKING LOOK IN THE CORNERS
IM THINKING MAYBE THEY DIDNT TAPE THE CORNERS
Improper corner preparation such as "No drywall tape" or "inferior corner framing" are two of the most common causes Rona.
Eddie
Basement Finishing Man Ok, we also have drywall that's buckling or you can see where two of them were joined together. Let me guess why we have that because someone didn't have the correct consistency of the mix, they didn't do the mix over the tape or they used too much mix. Last question...I promise. Is it pretty easy to fix drywall that is cracked at a corner and what could really cause the drywall to crack in the corners?
Hi Rona! Usually it's an issue of not applying your joint compound(Drywall Mud) correctly during the coating stages of the finish work.And a poor sanding job can also contribute to this effect.
You could re-tape and finish those cracked inside corners and fix that issue quite easily in doing so.
Eddie
Basement Finishing Man Hi Eddie. Thanks for responding and sharing your expertise in this area. Btw good video
Drywalling isn't hard, you say? I agree. Neither is playing guitar. That's why folks doing both are a dime a dozen. But a good tradesman, whether it's drywall hanger, painter, carpenter, or whatever, is always in demand because of the quality of their work. I wouldn't hire a novice to do my work when I can hire a journeyman, or master, who've proven their quality. And the best ones are reliable/dependable. That thins the herd more. If you're willing to do all the above then you'll be great!
you use you your fingers to ajust your mud when finishing drywall mud you have to do it right.
You didn't show finishing the inside corner....
Charles T. Murray
ua-cam.com/video/9eZsKi48bgg/v-deo.html
at least check for blister before applying mud to it. If there's a blister, chip and pre fill them then apply mud to tape. Sometime hangers does a piss poor cut out job
When do you use that mesh tape?
We don't use mesh tape JP...only paper tape.
Eddie
I found out the hard way that paper tape is stronger than mesh tape.
I got hairline cracks at the seams after using mesh tape so I emptied the room out again and carefully ground out all the long joints with a small grinder and a stiff scraper and then used paper tape this time.
Maybe the mesh tape wouldn't have cracked if I used a setting compound first instead of regular joint compound but I'm never going to take that chance again if i do another drywall renovation because it was a long process to fix the problem.
WE never use mesh tape...only paper. Mesh tape is over rated.
Eddie
Interesting. I use mesh in all my seams. Only had a problem once. Used blue lid for first coat instead of green. Now I use 90 min or 45 min to do 1st and 2nd on seams then blue for final coat. Finish a room in one day and the powder dries hard as a rock. No cracks.
+renaissancemen1 Not saying it's not a great product...just saying it costs more and does no more really than standard paper tape for most residential drywall finishing purposes.
Eddie
is it possiblle to watch many these drywall videos and go to work doing drywall. dont look that hard.
where can i find the joint compound
Home Depot or Lowes sells most any type of joint compound you need.
Eddie
whats a good kind of compound?
Is Home Depot sponsoring or do you enjoy giving free advertising? Every video with the HD shirt
+Simon bleed Nope! Just like the store and the service they give us! Plus they give us a lot of free hats and shirts!
Eddie
It looks like Dairy Queen ice cream
I'll take a large vanilla in a cup please... Thank you!
If the tape has to be wet, can you just soak the tape in water for a second?
You could but that is never done in the real world of drywall finishing...but it can be done.
Eddie
If you do that, you risk ripping the tape when you wipe it down. It may lose too much of its structural integrity, using mud mixed with water you are not soaking the tape. Not the best idea to soak the tape.
My buddy does drywall that's what he does. He runs his tape through the water then puts his knife at about a 45 and presses the tape in the first mud coat to hold, then brings it to a 90 and scrapes it into the mud across the wall. He came over to help with my garage it looks pretty damn good. Another cool trick I seen him do, is he stands on a 5 gallon bucket and walks it across the floor to do the ceiling pretty cool.
I thought this was the plumber
it would be nice if you let the guy explain instead of talking over him, or may be let him hold the camera and you explain...
Good, informative video. One suggestion, however: one voice, not two, for the narrative. At times, one of you interrupts the other. It's distracting. Thanks.
Well it's live and not edited and that's just the way it comes out! If we start thinking about what to say next all of a sudden we have a fake reality show and pile of convoluted b.s.!
I COMPLETELY agree. That's what gave it the authenticity!
Basement Finishing Man yes, I would rather have a video by professional drywallers, than professional tv show hosts.
I found the two different voices more helpful with extra information than having vague air space.
I love these sh%tkickers. they learned me a lot. :)
you make it look too easy. the beginning of this video should say "warning: finishing takes at least a month to get good at." haha.
