An experienced drywaller once told me that the royal road to acquiring his enviable skill level was to watch for 15 minutes and practice for 15 years. In sharing your experience, you have literally shaved years off my mud-tape learning curve.
Many thanks for saving me from myself!
I have to say you are probably the best at doing instructional videos. I hope you keep making videos, I'll be watching them. Thanks.
Thank you:) I will. I just haven't been on any jobs where I have been able to film lately.
I have a question for you. I finished my corners some outside and inside corners) and part of my project I had to do a skim coat on a couple walls. I used the same compound for everything but the dried skim coat seems much softer and rougher than than the corners. I thinned out the compound a lot more for the skim coat than I did for the final coats on the corner. Any advice on fixing this? Re-skim coat with a thicker mixture? Anything to avoid it in the future? Thanks!
I forgot to mention when I am sending I am having trouble blending it in because the skim coat sands down very easily than the harder mud from the corner so its leaving a ridge no matter what I use to sand with
vanislefaller you want your mud fairly thin on your skim coat. Purpose of skimming is leaving as little mud on the walls as possible ( for obvious reasons ) and also to make it much easier for sanding. Hope this helps

I’m about to finish my drywall in a new two story addition. I’ve been watching and learning from your videos for a few weeks now. I love how you explain your methods without losing focus. You’re the Bob Ross of drywall finishing. 👍😊👍
"it's gonna slide around on ya until it finds it's place, it's your job to help it find it's place."
Major Bob Ross energy.
DIY videos are among the best UA-cam has. Even when the video is several years old, the information is as good as "new" to the DIYer looking for guidance. Thanks for the help on this one 🙏 👍
Thanks 👍
"Don't ask. " Been there, done that. I've been throwing mud at walls since 1970. East coast of the US Began with drywall, blueboard and old time hair plaster., even a bit of rock lath.
Now the good part,, was an older Irishman,, that was just so good with every plaster and technique you can imagine. Right down to slaking his own lime in a barrel on the landing in the middle of the building,,, in other words,, making his own plaster. Don't ever pay him before Friday afternoon,,, liked his beer a bit much. But I learned so much from him. NOT the beer part. You have a good hand,, a pleasure to watch.
I am restoring a farmhouse and I've watched lots of YT videos and I have to say you are the best. Your voice is pleasant to listen to and you are straight to the point. Thanks for also not having kids or dogs running around distracting the instruction.
I have definitely dramatically improved upon my taping and mudding skill set from watching your videos. I am a by eye type of learner and just from watching I have greatly improved my quality and efficiently. Thanks for the video!
I love your work. I am just learning to do what mainly men do but so many women are into the home improvement thing now like myself, I love learning from others. Thank you
I’ve been mudding and taping this weekend for the first time in my life. Your videos saved my butt. You are very gifted at what you do, as an artist and instructor. Kudos.
Been watching your videos for a few years now... there's always different ways of doing the same thing and it's actually fun to watch your videos because as I look at all the comments here and in different videos you've done, one thing usually sticks out of all the rest..... your ability to teach.... it's the best compliment you can get
Your channel has been a lifesaver. We are redoing our walls in our home and we are doing them ourselves. I was so intimidated at first but your videos have taught me so much, I think we can do this. You are an excellent teacher. Thank you!!
Have to say I’ve attempted to tape and spackle new drywall in the past and it was always a disaster but I watched a few of your videos on “how to” from inside/outside corner beads to other tips on projects like this and it really made a huge difference this time. Wish I’d found these videos sooner. Thanks a lot and please keep them coming.
Am checking your videos out after a long while since I last did some mudding but I came back just to see if you're still around helping people. And you are. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and skills with us inexperienced drywall tapers. I recently started off my own painting company (which offers drywall repair), I have never had to repair or replace a corner bead, since I have only repaired small holes in the drywall (in fact, I did not even know what a corner bead was, until I typed in "Drywall metal corner repair/replacement). Thanks again for simply explaining this process and for showing us some simple tips to make this easier (such as showing us that the mud should be a little bit runny). Your willingness to share your knowledge and experience will help me look as though I will know what I am doing, if I land the drywall repair estimate.
You are OUTSTANDINGLY good at what you do! Moreover... you are equally great at showing us how to do what you do!!!! Thanks for what you do!!!! Extremely informative!!!

I like the corner taping tip to prevent future cracking. Nice demo. I have 21 years home remodeling experience.
Love this guy and video. Informative without being cocky or preachy. Well done.
@@shelzmike Who?
I'm glad I found you! Corner beads are the bane of my existence. My house had 1984 doorways all throughout the house. Actual door facings where they took doors down that went to every room, aside from bedrooms. They looked way too dated and I removed them all and did corner beads to every door facing. Now my only problem is keeping all of the members of my household from busting the crap out of them! Wreckless bunch of hooligans😂
Drywall and people living near it has a way of not working out😂. Those doors sound cool though:)
"It's your job to help it find its place"
Best thing I've heard in years.
I'm a DIYer completely unacquainted w construction terminology. I was just watching another vid of yours and saw the title of this thumbnail from the corner of my eye - totally thought it said 'HOW TO INSTALL CORNBREAD'. After the moment of processing that that couldn't be right, 2nd processing attempt was 'HOW TO INSTALL CORNERBREAD'. After another moment of realizing that still can't be what it said, finally got correct read. LOL. Thanks for the tips & God Bless you :)
As a first time homeowner... I can say these videos are a blessing!
I'd recommend getting a mud hooper designed for corner beads/off angle beads and roller head. They're awsome and you won't be disappointed.
Wow, your videos are so thorough. I wish I had your videos 20 years ago when I did my addition to my house. Thanks for doing such a great job.
I am remodeling my guest bath and have found all these instructional videos brilliant and extremely helpful. Thank you.
nice videos man. I completely renovated my basement back around the time you posted this video. i probably watched hundreds of hours of instructional videos. So far no cracks or issues with my drywalling/mudding work...But i gotta, i wish i had seen your videos back then. They're pretty thorough and well explained.
Your an incredible teacher! I am about to drywall the framing of 4 doorways I removed and i've never done cornerbead before!! Thanks a million :)
I've watched a dozen drywall videos. These are the best. Very detailed, informative
I’ve found for myself that I like using this method as in the end it’s faster and looks better even if it cost a bit more. Just found your channel today and really like what I’ve seen. Hello from Ontario
A carpenter knowing how to do great drywall is not as strange as a handgun instructor knowing as much as she knows about doing great drywall! :) Every morning, with a cup of hot coffee, I start my day with one of your awesome videos! Thank you so much for sharing your work so us DIYers can know what good work looks like.
Very informative video! I just bought a older house and plan on fixing the corners with corner bead before I give it a fresh coat of paint! This helped a ton, much appreciated & very well explained!
Simpele en duidelijke voorstelling, rustig verwoord en zonder stress. ben hier echt blij mee....bedankt
Good stuff! I work at a trade school, and we are remote learning because of Covid 19. Your videos are very good. There are lots of hacks out there, so it is refreshing to find quality content! Kudos from a Journeyman carpenter!
Thanks a ton for this tutorial! I was dreading mudding in some edges and corners in my master bath remodel, but following your technique was incredibly helpful. Thank you!
My dyslexic ass read cornbread
Same here
Same
Came here to say the same
Yeah me too
OMG I came here to ask if anyone else read "cornbread". 😂😂😂
Cut 1/2 off bottom for compressing. Thats brilliant never heard of it but makes so much sense. .👍👍👍👍to you
Been 40 years since I did any large drywall projects. Always hated it, but your vids have me back on track and enjoying it! Never used these style corners and needed not only basic install, but the tips you always offer. Thanks to you I have managed to do my extensive home-remodeling project with only about 10% dry sanding! The rest is 3rd-step feathering and a bit of sponge sanding here and there. Best no-nonsense videos on the subject. Thanks from another carpenter who knew more than he wanted to about drywall LOL
Cool tip on adding that little nick of paper on the corners, I'll be using it in the future..
Great disposition for teaching.
Great videos! My friend just butchered my spare room! Finding a drywall supply store? Hmmmm?? Definitely prefer that over the metal ones!! Thnx!
I bought a sheetrock cornbread hopper/mud applicator and corner bead roller. Amazing time savers 👍
Around my neck of the woods being a carpenter means knowing how to do drywall as well as a million other things.
You crack me up! I love that you teach this stuff. I’d be lost without you!
"Don't ask". What I want to say when asked how I learned to fix toilets so well. Haha. Lots of good tips in your vids. I've been a handyman for quite a few years so it's not easy to find vids that teach me much. Yours have. I appreciate it.
Thanks so much for your videos. With your videos I have been able to master the technique of mud and taping and now putting a cornerbead in place. Thanks a million.
You are awesome . Love all your videos and would enjoy working with you to learn the correct way of finishing drywall. Thanks again for sharing your experience and knowledge.
Appreciate all of the steps shown in this video, and those close-ups i the end are invaluable.
This guy has literally helped me finish my kitchen with his videos thanks man
Great video on corner beads. Try applying the mud from bottom to top (upward direction) and you won't spill as much on the floor.
You do a very thorough job, it better be years before plaster cracks but you look out that far ahead..❤❤ gotta love it..
You put out some really nice videos, after 35 + yrs. doing every aspect of building and remodeling, it's nice to be able to watch some very informative vids and maybe pickup some new tips. Thnx.
Great Video.....I hate drywalling projects and this video has helped answer lots of questions for me! Thanks.
A video with lots of good stuff to know. Well presented with no extraneous content
Home Depot in Montreal has CGC paper-faced metal outside corner bead today. Thanks for the idea.
Love your video's. Am a retired stay at home mom, because of you my drywall looks great! Thanks so much!
Someone who takes pride in their work.
I love the way you show even how to load the knife or trowel with mud that is important to me- also you showed in one of your videos, on metal corner bead you also used tape on the flange side of the bead - I was wondering if the fib a fuse paperless drywall tape , which is supped to be 70% stronger for crack resistance would be good to use.
An old timer from Scotland taught me a trick that has worked really well for what little drywall repair that I do. After you determine your paper tape length, dip it in clean water and apply it over the mud and let it dry. I haven't had a blister show up since using this method. Have you tried this before?
This is why you do 45 degrees in order no to need tape and you should use durabond for your corners, just a little knowledge I acquired over a very successful career as top Drywall system professional in the entire USA East Coast. But you gave good advise for lining corners and using a piece of tape which will help prevent cracking
Thank you brother. You are so calm its easy to follow the instructions. You are awesome!
Thanks buddy im really trying to get my dry wall done befor holidays super chill video
Thanks for making these videos. I just started this for my bedroom renovation and my tape has turned out great.
Exactly what I’ve been looking for. Thanks for explaining in a concise manner!
I love the trick with the little piece of paper on the corner. Thank-You for the great vids!
You are an artist and the best teacher we can ever hope for your videos are awesome and a big help for us DIY guys
Drywall finishing is an Art Form. Great post.
i do exactly the same on the cnrs to stop them cracking.... nice work!
Thanks for your very useful and clear tutorials. I have a couple questions as to corner beads - first, what do you do when the two ends of drywall panels don't meet flush, ie one falls short of reaching the end of the other? Does the edge need to be made up or prefilled somehow? Second, how do you ensure that there is gap left to fill on the corners beads, is it just the natural shape of the corner bead that ensures this? Thanks again.
Thank you for your video. I really made my Do It Yourself job much easier. YOU ARE GREAT!! Denis
Nice seeing you use a knife like the majority of you watchers will use. Thanks!
I've got a failed inside corner bead in my kids room (old house) that I am fixing. Looks like it failed because the metal is bulging out from the wall so the tape was all bubbled. Should I just pull the metal piece out and start fresh? Total novice here and learning heaps from your vids. Thanks so much!!
Thank you! You made my DIY project a hundred percent easier!
The Conor bead material you have to work with is AMAZING TO SAY THE LEAST! That would make work alot more easier here in the states
Can you install corner bead upside down like on a horizontal beam? Will it stay?
You're a fantastic teacher! Love your videos
used this for the first time today i do remodeling i loved the ease and the overall look of it after putting them up will make the rest of this job go smoothly and look beautiful.
Nice work (from a 34 year craftsman). And no need to ask why a carpenter knows so much about drywall. I know why. But I'll say this, the carpenter is more meticulous than the average drywaller. (Who may consider drywall to be very forgiving paint grade wood.)
Lol
Great way of explaining what, why, and how to do drywall. Clear and concise. Thanks.
This guy is the Bob Ross of drywall!
I have two channels I follow religiously... This is my #1 go to channel!!
What is you opinion on round corner beads? Are they more challenging to work on? They seem giving better finished outlook. Thank you for elaborating content!

"Don't ask " I love this man he is the man
Nice tip about taping the corner so it won't crack!
I tried paper beads on my basement remodel and failed horribly. Every corner blistered quite badly after first fill coat. I worked in the trades as a carpenter for a number of years (hardly ever drywall except for a patch here and there) so I thought I could pull it off. My first thought was that I squeezed the paper on too hard and it was trying to pull off. But noticed that the blisters were actually over the metal corner not the part sitting on the mud strike. Like the paper delaminated from the metal! Made me wonder if material failure was the issue. Another friend from the trades said I should have applied a drier thinner first fill coat. I did use light AP for setting and fill coat. My final solution recommended from a drywall pro acquaintance was to use metal bead set in taping mud w/o nails since there was metal stud framing and double layer 5/8 rock in places. Then mesh tape and hot mud to bridge the metal with the wall. One fill coat on top of that with hot mud then topping off with light topping mud. Lots of work and was set back about a week. But my corners now seem bombproof. Next time I'll hire a pro. Getting too old for this *ish. But thanks for helping me believe I can do it lol.
My first few attempts with paper tape failed too. I think you need to use thinner (wetter) mud when using paper tape, and definitely do not squeeze it all out with your knife. Sometimes if I don't care to thin my mud I'll soak the paper in water before installing. Ive had 100% success with paper bonding when it is wet or when using water thinned mud.
Brilliant thanks 😊my corners are working out fantastic 👍 👏 😀 Scotland
I love your videos! I watched several videos and some more than once and was able to do my walls! So you know, Home Depot is carrying the wide corners now!!
I apparently didn't get enough mud for all the spots to adhere, so there are some voids. 1) Should I use a syringe and squeeze in some wood glue. 2) Spray with water to get those areas wet and push the paper, hoping it wil stick. 3) Spray with water and add more mud? 4) cut out and start over? Any advice is appreciated!
Awesome video, this helped me a lot! When you wipe out the mud with the knife, are you just wiping the paper or both the metal and paper part?
Thanks for your vids. I've always drywalled but never mud and taped. That's not the case anymore!
Good instruction...........I've done enough of this stuff thru the years to be dangerous. Your video showed me some good tricks. Thank You
This video is great! :)
I watched 2 or 3 videos before this one where the corner bead was already put on before the camera ever started rolling. How am I supposed to learn how to put the corner bead on if I can't watch them do it? The other youtubers just sort of talked a bit and did a little bit of mudding, but assumed that I had already put the bead on the corner.
Attention to detail is unmatched.
Sir you are awesome!! I am a handyman by trade and i am learning so much from your videos. Please keep up the excellent job you are doing and thank you for sharing it with us! :)
I purchased mine at Home Depot yesterday here in Dallas Texas
Dude. This channel is a God send
Back in the UK corners where made with using two trowels forming the corner between them or nailing dowel on the corners and plastering up to the dowel for a rounded edge. Modern systems are a great improvement on those old ways but they still worked good.
your videos are great...just one suggestion. cut your bead with a forty five degree angle at the top outside corner and you wont need to add paper tape to prevent cracking, or you could tape your transitions when you tape flats.
I’ve been surfing UA-cam for plastering tip and stumbled on your channel. Really like your attention to detail and clear instructions. Also subscribed. Regards from Perth W.A. 🦘🇦🇺
Awesome, thank you! Would it be possible to create a quick video of the sequence of events? For example when corner bead would be applied or when to do sanding. If using a plastic corner bead that is affixed with spray on adhesive do you apply the bead in the same step as mud on corner bead? Thanks again!
Best mud man this side of the pond! 💕👍🏻
Did u say pond !!
I wish i had watched these videos yesterday, i installed a couple corners of paper tape without pressing out the excess
