Thank you. Best repair video I’ve come across. Living in a 124 year old farm house with a mish-mash of dry wall and plaster walls, all in need of repair. These little fixes are the kind of small but mighty jobs that will build momentum for larger projects and make the place look less abandoned in the mean time. Edit: autocorrect fail
It makes good sense to use such a large knife on such a small area. All the extra inches of the knife help keep everything straight. Like using a straight edge. Before watching this video, I'd probably suffer with a small knife.
Thank you for sharing your talent. I really needed to know how to repair my broken areas. Will you make a video on removing stair carpet and finishing stairs? My carpet is old and I want to remove carpet and finish my stairs. Thank you.
If you’re working with drywall w/o texture. Would adding mesh tape or butt joint drywall tape be beneficial to place over the corner bead, over the additional nails of course?
Yes. In this video I am using a quick dry (rapid set) joint compound. But regular “all purpose” or “light weight” will work just fine. It just takes longer to dry.
Nice ,but I'm doing work like this now and where the metal meets the sheetrock Im still have somewhat of uneven surface .do I still keep adding more mixture (afraid if it's to thick it will have cracking down the road ) or is there something I'm missing or I need to do .thanks
@@israelcontracting4059 sorry what do you mean by dished? It's like the metal corner goes downward compared to the sheetrock ,so when I add the mixture it continues to have a depression ,where I cant get a even surface . By the way I'm using the pre mixed mixture ,not the type that you add water to it
Hi- is it possible to fix the corner of a wall and paint it in the same day? I’m moving out of my apartment and the movers hit the wall. I want to fix it and not be charged a fortune by my landlord.
We had nothing to do with the existing painting of the house. We did however correct any mistakes in the near by areas once the texture had dried and was ready to be re painted.
I think that's caulk - maybe baseboard was removed and reinstalled, or changed out after walls had already been painted. Mine looks like that for the same reason - getting ready to paint now.
@@janedavid684 I’m just busting balls..all good man.lol.thanks for the video though ..my corners are freakin terrible..looks like a heard of Buffalo rubbed against the dam wall
Thank you Jacob from Israel Contracting! You came in clutch and saved the deposit on my apartment with this.

If you’re working with drywall w/o texture. Would adding mesh tape or butt joint drywall tape be beneficial to place over the corner bead, over the additional nails of course?
mesh tape isn’t necessary but can be used
Great video. What kind of primer would you use after this before painting ?
Any PVA primer will do.
great job i thumbed it, can i get away with joint compound over the corner bead?
Yes. In this video I am using a quick dry (rapid set) joint compound. But regular “all purpose” or “light weight” will work just fine. It just takes longer to dry.
What happens if they used aluminum on the corner?
Nice ,but I'm doing work like this now and where the metal meets the sheetrock Im still have somewhat of uneven surface .do I still keep adding more mixture (afraid if it's to thick it will have cracking down the road ) or is there something I'm missing or I need to do .thanks
Do you mean it is dished? You can add more mud and let it fully dry then if it cracks a little put a light skim coat on.
@@israelcontracting4059 sorry what do you mean by dished?

I keep doing my corners but the metal shows through, is that ok or should it be all the way covered by the mud? Thanks.
A little bit showing is ok if you’re going to texture. Otherwise you have to build up with more mud and sand smooth
What the mug mixture that u use? I have two small repairs that I need to do!!
The bag said, 'Easy Sand 45 joint compound'
How do I secure the corner bead if there’s no wood behind it. I used 1 1/4” nails but there’s nothing to grab onto. There’s no base plate either.
you can use spray adhesive and a crown staple gun to secure it.

Thank you for the reply. I like learning from the pros.
Complete newbie here... What is that stuff you plaster over the wall?
are asking about the texture part? it is a can that can be purchased at most any hardware store. just follow the directions for use.
the ones I repaired were exposed for a long time I sprayed them with killz first so it would stick
Can joint compound be used?
Yes. We used light weight fast dry joint compound. But a regular, pre mixed mud can be used as well. It will just take a little longer to dry.
Hi- is it possible to fix the corner of a wall and paint it in the same day? I’m moving out of my apartment and the movers hit the wall. I want to fix it and not be charged a fortune by my landlord.
Yes a quick set mud (easy sand 20) can be used with fans blowing on it.
Thank you so much!
This is good but everybody has little problems, I have a hole on the corner
What if the corner is round?
What product is the mud?
Sheetrock 45 made by CGC. In the US it’s USGC.
No mesh tape?
No one uses mesh tape over corners down here in the south. I’m originally from Kansas and it is more common up there but we don’t have any issues.
can you do this with spakle?
Yes you can but it will be much harder to smooth out. It will take a bit more sanding but is do-able
No primer?

How to repair the corner that does not have the bead strip?
Either add a corner bead or use paper Sheetrock tape
what do you do if theres no corner bead and its extremely damaged
Add corner bead and float it out.
my walls aren't textured so the cornerbead is still showing through the outside edge
Just have to add more Sheetrock mud and sand smooth
everything I'm reading/watching says the outside corner is supposed to be left showing and that you just paint over it..@@israelcontracting4059
I have a gapping hole about 8 inches missing, no frame
They make fiber patch kits to cover holes and the the same mud process is used over the top. Can be purchased at local hardware stores and Walmart
would be nice if these tutorials show us what compound to apply. in laymans.. what is MUD?? like tell us what to buy,,,
It was on the video
Lol..that paint job on trim is terrible..it’s on the wall ..lol
