I always find it so funny when there’s such intense music just to show off a tool 😂 good stuff though, I’m thinking of buying myself a flusher to speed up jobs as I still do everything by hawk and trowel
You can open up the direct flusher by wedging a bit of flex tape in the triangle screw on plate . This dramatically increases flow and usability, while still behaving predictably unlike if you take that bit off completely.
Also if you only go in one direction as you have here you will end up with a deal more on one side of the tape than the other .. you can see that in the vid . If you then sand that with a orbital sander you will end up with a poor finish as the sanding head eats into the corner and creates a bulge .
1 thing I don’t like about the Columbia tubes is that the air hole is at the end of the handle, so if you want to get your palm at the tip of the handle to push, you end up blocking the release air. Other tubes have the release air hole drilled off to the side.
Thanks for quick response. If I buy the CanAm tube are the flusher heads changeable with the Columbia products. I’ve been running my drywall business with my crew by hand. If I wanted to invest $700-1000 what product would you recommend that would make the work easier and faster.
I just started using this set up after watching your videos. Just did my first commercial job which was all walls.a. What is the sequence for corners and flats.? After tape coat do I hit the flats first and then the corners again? Can you please give me the proper sequence around the room. Thanks. Maurice
Hello there! I'm about to buy my first flusher (us amazon is my only option... We do not have these here, in Poland :( unfortunately!). And the thing is: which size should I buy? Usually I'm using 2" wide paper tape or 2.4" strait flex tuff tape - so, I should rather choose 3" or 3,5" flusher? "CanAm Tool Corner Flusher with Roller Wheels (3.5")" vs. "CanAm Tool C300-RR Direct Corner Flusher with Roller Wheels - For Applying Drywall Compound and Feathering Corners With A Fainter Touch (3" Widetrack)" - both available on amazon. Thank you in advance for your reply. Have a nace day, greets : )
Ideally you want a smaller flusher for applying the tapes (~3") and a wider flusher for finish coating the corners (~3.5"). That way the finish-coat overlaps the tape-coat and makes for easier sanding. However, if only purchasing 1 flusher for both, I'd recommend the 3", as the 3.5" is difficult to imbed tapes due to its size and is usually intended just for finish coat only.
Mud runner is better simply because it's less pushing, flows on it's own. Otherwise both tools do the exact same thing. Mud runner is 5x the price so it's a bigger investment.

Hello, thanks for the video, do you think if i tape with a banjo the direct flusher can work?

Great job mate. Is it possible to do a video on the nail spotters 👍

Generally I always do flats first then corners for each coat, I'll be uploading a new series on the process I use
have you ever tried the TAPE TECH Mudrunner? If yes, is it smoother/better than a regular bazooka?
Ya, it is easier to use. It's a luxury item though, compound tube does all the same things, just have to push a little more.
can you use flushers for q3 and q4? for example you spray your corners with machine and then skimm it with flushers
I’m looking at getting into semi automatic tools, what would you recommend?

Wow nice job, from France, song is Tool's song ?
Would you rather use this or a mud runner? What are your thoughts on both of these tools
Mud runner is better simply because it's less pushing, flows on it's own. Otherwise both tools do the exact same thing. Mud runner is 5x the price so it's a bigger investment.
Good video leave off the music. you do not need it, continue to talk the process. as you go.
So this does the same as a angle box?
Do you use the flusher or angle head first?? Thanks
Flusher vs. glazer
What is the name of the tool and the pump
It's a Columbia 3.5" direct flusher & a Columbia 42" compound tube
Can u use a corner box with direct flusher
I tried, it didn't work well, works better with a tube
