Thanks I think this makes more sense for unskilled DIYers like myself.
This guy makes it look easy. In reality, he is highly skilled.
Excellent and I'm working on an 1860 house. That is the fastest way
Even easier with a 24 inch skimming blade! Great video though! 👍
Yeah I’ve been making mine too thick I think lol. Third coat goes on tomorrow. First time with drywall and avoiding tool lines is definitely a skill
Make thinner
Just sand it
@@The_Jrod I think the mix was too thick but I did ultimately end up sanding
Sand down your corners on your trowel so the corners are not so protruded, it helps with the lines
@@aaronbanales8542 that’s a good idea. I’ll do that for future projects
just what I needed to see to improve a 1956, exceptional well done, exceptionally good looking , very uniform looking "skip splatter"? surface finish over plaster. I wonder how the craftsmen of that day did such good looking work. I repaired a water damage spot in this ceiling years ago. most would not notice it, but I do and as everything is cleared from the room for painting the walls after floor refinishing ... . Thank You
Hahaha, I liked the texture before you scraped it! But great work!
You make it looks so easy.
Paul, you are waaay to damn clean to be a taper brother! You must have a paid actor doing the work dog :). I'm always covered from head to toe! When I was learning my auto boxes, I dumped 1/2 a damn 10" of on my head, why I started learning on a ceiling was dumb!
I appreciate you and your videos brother man! Thanks!
Haha…😂 I really appreciate you watching and commenting my friend!👍🏻 -Paul
Ordered a special roller for mud… then watched this.. looks like my job will get done sooner though!
That looks good! If I’m skimming over texture/removed popcorn I like to use plus 3 for less shrinking on the first coat. Then a heavier mud like green or black for a harder surface that doesn’t let you sand away too much and expose imperfections.
Do you need to sand between the Plus 3 coat and the rest of the coats?
Curious on how you don't get any lines when using the knife?
The edges on the knife are rounded and he applies more pressure on one side
This is for me!! I'm the dummy!!!
Nah, I’m sure you could do it better than a lot of people.💥🙌🏼😎
Thanks!
Thank you so much!🙏😎
You make it look so easy.
If this is skim coating for dummies, then you can call me Forrest Gump. Mine did not turn out so good
How much water do you add to the bucket mix.
I used to resurface with a 10” knife pulling it from the pan to the ceiling. This looks a lot easier but damn I was a big boy pulling all that mud back in the day.
very nice bro watching your chenel from pilippines God bless you bro keep up the good job always keep safe
This is new trend and makes sense because ppl whernt doing this back in the days
Simple just what I needed
Awesome!💥 So glad you found my video helpful.👍🏻😎
Easier if u just use multi finish mate
Does this work on Popcorn ceilings?
Well I'm a dummie 😂
Paul thanks for tricks.
What is the purpose for skim coating?
1. To cover up the previous guy's horrible mud job
2. To repair the entire ceiling at once which may be easier than hitting a ton of small areas
3. To smooth out a creepy old popcorn ceiling without scraping the old stuff off (asbestos content).
VavaVoom!!! Thank you for this video!
How many coats for textured ceiling.
Thanks I’m going to do that right now
Clean ass work!
I really appreciate that!💥 Thank you so much for watching and commenting my friend.👍🏻😎
Love this!!! Fast!!
Thank you!👍🏻😎
How u not leave any lines with troul (however u spell it) when skiing next section
Nice work
How does it come out so smooth? Is it the texture of the mud that allows for that?
Great video! Do you have a way for me to post a pic of a ceiling in need of a spackle job? I just need an opinion on what amd how to use...
You just saved my life
Have you ever tried to spray it on and smooth it with knock down blade my preferred method but drywall is personal preference thousand ways to get the same result
Good job 👏
I was like, "for dummies?
Skim coating is an art!
Sees the guy, ah okay I see.
I like the way it looks rolled on could i skip smoothing it out
Yes, you sure could.✅👍🏻
That's what I was thinking. Especially when I'm doing 4 rooms of ugly walls
Can you do this over wood paneling? Also would I have to sand the painted surface?
Beautiful
Cool 👍
How large of an area do you cover before you use the knife to strike it off? Is it the same for vertical walls?
That is going to turn out really nice…
Very nice
Wish you showed the sanding process.
That's the point of this method...no sanding.
@@DonoVideoProductions whoops. Ok. Sounds good.
Plus 3 is easier to work with
Does this work on a textured ceiling? I’d like to flatten it out.
Can I was the roller and use it for paint again? Or one roller for each purpose?
I like to Work Paul You are Very Smart.
Sweet 😀
I like skim coating so I just leave it and paint.
How soon after can I paint?
Usually 24 hours is a good rule of thumb. 👍🏻
After removing my wallpaper there is a lot of old glue on the wall. Do I have to sand that off, or can I skim coat over it?
I did everything to get old glue off and gave up. Even sanding wouldn't take the glue off, so I skim coated it - and it worked! Note: The sheetrock formed bubbles and was very frustrating! I learned two days ago (from a different drywall channel) that unpainted drywall absorbs the air bubbles within the sheetrock but on painted walls it does not, so the air works its way up to the top. They also said that you'd need to do two coats to not get bubbles on the final, third coat. I hope you had success with your project. As I remember, I ended up doing 2-3 skim coats before I was happy with the final result.
Gizzer is spot on
That's sweet
Do you use dish soap?
All of the greats do. Palmolive user from way back! 😅
how much water are you adding, what's the consistency? how much pressure are you using? Are you pressing more on one side? Is this for a smooth finish or needed before adding more texture (e.g. knockdown)?
I've found that it works best when is "whipped" or creamy.
Can you do the walls the same way
Lol we die a stick as long as the roller with a knife on it much easier
How long did you have to wait to scrape it off?
ceiling looked pretty smooth before you skimcoated .... made it look easy ......
Do you have to tape first if the tape at the joints is peeling off?
Yes, remove and replace any peeling tape joints. Then skim coat.✅👍🏻
@@PaulPeck thank you
Hardening the board
What is a skim coat used for? Like what stage of patching or drywall install or whatnot would require a skim coat? Just trying to learn more. Thank you.
It's after you already repair your holes if it's an old plaster wall. Then you have to go over it with a wet brush to smooth it out. So minimal sanding. I'm working in 1860 house right now and none of it's all that easy. Plenty of repairs and holes in loose plaster which must be removed
And then instead of sanding you use a wet paint brush
I really need an answer for this question I'm about to ask...someone painted a bathroom looks to be like they took a 3 inch brush and just put a lot of paint on the walls making swirls ..the reason I can see why they did this was to hide all the imperfections. From what I can see it looks like unsanded spackle under the paint job ...my question is ideally I would have wanted to replace the sheet rock but it's not My place so what would be the best course of action to tackle this ? Would appreciate any advice since I will be tackling this project. Thank you in advance😊
I am curious if you figured out how to handle this.
Get some sanding paper. I would start of with a grit level around 100 and work towards a grit level of 200. I would use a 150 in between the 100 level and 200 level.
The 100 level would hopefully knock down that old and dried spackle. The 150 and 200 would help smooth out and grit lines left behind from sanding down.
Lastly, spackle again over any grit lines left behind. Let it dry and sand away until you leave your desired smoothness. For this last step you will be using the 200 grit.
Are you using the flat side?
How much water? You say you thinned it down.
Excatly what it says on the tin
I'm new to this. What's the point of skim coat
The best
Do you immediately start troweling or wait a bit for the mud to set?
Does he actually answer?
Roll an trial smith finish level 5 get paid for that
Can you do this for exterior ceilings
That would be the sky 😅😂😂
So what do you do with the compound that was scrapped off? Is it re-used?
Yes.✅👍🏻
❤

Skimming for dummies 🤪 here I am🤓
Hehehe…😂 How ya doing Randy?🤙🏼
@@PaulPeck Hanging in there, 2023 just around the corner 🎉🎈 hope all is well up there in south Fla.
Hey @PaulPeck I just tried this on the ceiling and my roller didn’t really roll at all. Once I put the roller on the ceiling, the bottom side of the roller was too heavy. Because of that it didn’t roll at all. Do you have any tips for that ?
I was thinking that I need to thin down my joint compound or make it thicker?
Texture should be like thin yogurt. Not too thick
Could also use a metal paint screen
No glue in my skims. Plus 3 man. No shrink
Yeah man. I usually use the all purpose on painted, textured or repaired surfaces for the first skim. Because the glue gives it better adhesion. Plus3 is what I use on the next skim coats after the initial one.👍🏻
I'll try the Ap next scrape and skim I have
Question, was there any sanding involed?
Nope I did not sand. But, I also applied a skip trowel texture to the ceiling after the skim coating.👍🏻
I heard 1/4 roller what size spreading knife do I need I want to remove the popcorn texture from a few walls . Thanks
I think that is a 14” taping knife.
1 inch and a quarter roller, 12 inch Taping Knife or 18 inch knife.
Just a suggestion maybe a usg 3 light weight
I use plus 3 doing this. Green mud shrinks too much, plus it's harder to sand.
Yep too much glue @@noelschuck6491
Just plaster it!
Is it this easy?
👍
Okay, so you don't take the compound out of the bucket with your hand and throw it on the ceiling, got it
Glad my video could educate you a little bit…👍🏻😂
I would love to know how to mix it pleases help
There isn't anything to do. Like in the video, buy a paint mixing paddle. The all purpose joint compound is ready to use, mixing it just makes it easier to apply, (add little bit of water if need it softer).
Do customers ever request the texture look of the roll on application - I like it- pros or cons ?
Pros are it hides imperfections on the ceiling and only con I can think of is how long it will take to go back to non texture. Also the texture holds allot more dust and dirt.
I have it, and I Hate it. Cobwebs, dirt, dust bunnies just stick to it, and it's so hard to keep clean on a high ceiling.
I have a textured ceiling, it makes the room even darker and it is hard to keep clean and paint.
Never ever roll mud on the ceiling with your mouth open.
Haha… True story! 😂😂😂
Your very shaky . Makes waves
All purpose out of a bucket? Lol
Did you add any water prior to mixing?
yeah he said he thinned it down
I wonder if you added the paint to it 50/50
How thick is a skim coat...
Asking for a dummy
You answered your own question skim coat
Is just one coat required for a skim?
If everything's up to level yes.
Today I was born
You have too much time on your hands 😭✅
I wish…😅
