    great review! i just started using the level 5 blades last week to cover texture. in the past, i used my concrete finishing trowels, but they’re no so ergonomic on ceilings and they don’t accept handles lol. i’ve found that an 18” roller works well for application because they’re supported on both sides and less prone to bending. thank you and keep up the great videos

      I got some 18 in rollers. Might use my abused naps for that. The 9 inch for painting or applying mud does flex a little. Not a big deal. But as if with paint, the more area you can cover without it skinning up the better.

    I looked into getting a set of level5 blades and they are insanely expensive!! I know you get what you pay for, and if I was doing this for a living I would get the best. I like getting the best quality tools for anything. I found the Dewalt knives at home depot to be awesome! There are a few different styles but what I bought is one stainless steel piece, no edges to get mud stuck and dried up. I love'em. A bit pricey but yeah you get what you pay for! This was a great review video, and good luck on everyone's projects!! 😁🙋‍♂️

    Any tips on how to handle overlapping swipes with thr blade? Do you angle it at all? It seems like youre going flat and feeling it out based on pressure or something subtle.

    Decent skimming blades if you can keep the blades from sliding out. They are three times the cost of similar blades which include the storage case.

    • @DrywallShorty
      @DrywallShorty  Рік тому

      Sometimes it can! I would suggest sanding as much texture as you can off before coating. It will almost always take 2-3 coats especially over knockdown or a heavier texture but sometimes you can get away with one.

    Just read the definitions for the levels of drywall finishes. What is the point of/when would a level 5 be necessary? Level 4 is what 99% of walls are. Does level 5 have a functional purpose?

      @DrywallShorty  2 роки тому +3

      Drywall board has a paper face that is typically made out of recycled paper. It's got a bit of a fine texture to it and when you apply drywall compound on top of it, it makes it smooth. When doing a smooth wall in areas with a lot of light, you can see the difference between the raw drywall paper and the smooth mud. You then can level 5 the entire area to make a smooth consistent finish with no differences between the mud and the paper.
