Cleaning drywall taping tools inside is easier than you might think.
The Drywall Doctor wanted to take a couple minutes to answer a viewer request about how to clean tools when you have limited water (or it's Chicago and -5 degrees out and you'll need to wash up inside). Ray shows his cleaning method for his taping tools, from his angle head to bazooka/automatic taper and even an old school goose neck pump.
There are some tips and tricks in here, including ensuring you get all your drywall mud out of the right places for your taper, in addition to allowing an excess mud to dry in cold weather that will allow remnants to wash off easily upon next use.

Great video. Now I can use my bazooka and pump in the winter. 30 years of hand taping in Western New York and I just started using bazooka and boxes. Not being able to use a hose was a dilemma. Thanks for all you do
Stories and tips from a drywall legend. This video is so valuable.
Amazing video! You are the man! Update: I just ordered a bucket heater. Also about to try taping with a zook for the first time. I have about 62 sheets to tape and finish, almost no butt joints. I am a complete novice but you have been such an inspiration that I know with your help I will succeed. Thank you again for everything you have done for us.
Doc 'twas a disaster! Quite the experience I must say. The end result: huge mess (compound everywhere), cockeyed looking tape joints, used a lot more tape than I should have (good thing it's cheap), forgot to close mud gate twice and made HUGE mess, after that the zook just didn't feel smooth. And to add insult to injury, I had 3 joints left at the end and loaded new paper roll backwards, had to rip everything out when I realized, scrape, and sheetrock facing came off in some spots. Then the cleaning, boy was that fun! Hoping I can salvage the situation tomorrow.
This will be a helpful video to many. Keep up the good work.
Hi Ray. Cool! BTW/Love to see the "nail spotter" in action. Keep doing Great.
Awesome now im gonna get a goose neck that will save me so much time in cleaning my bazooka and leaving the tape in the bazooka, good idea. Thnx👍
This was a very helpful video
Thanks for the video
Good tip. Good video. Cool sheetrock shirt!!
Daniel Lopez would you be open to taking about starting a company across America I do have the confidence and the connections
Would love to chat.
Better to put the gooseneck in a separate empty bucket. After the pump has been cleared, pump clean water into the bazooka WITH THE VALVE CLOSED until full. Just as if filling with taping mud. With the head of the bazooka over the water bucket and the base of the tube resting in the floor, and with open valve, Manually retrieve the entire cable by turning the clutch mechanism. Dirty muddy water will come out the head and into water bucket. Repeat this process again. The entire inside of tube is cleaned in this manner. Wash outside as in video. When dry, spray moving parts with oil. Takes about two minutes at the end of the day.
Glad I live in Florida...☑️ Great video man! 👍 Much success in 2018 my friend! -Paul
Bazooka and the pots
When it’s a big Job take your tools to the car wash afterwards indoor and heated 😁
Hey guys. Taper here from Toronto, Canada. Just curious on which brands and grits and brands of sand paper you guys use. I use 80 grit paper for the pre sand and 120-150 grit foam backed (depending on brand) for the finish
Jerry D we use 120 or 150. Try not to sand first coat Cubs do. I usually strike off flow lines 120 second coat depending hand sponge and strike all edges and touch up. I've been in trade 35 yrs.
Use 120 grit the blue sand paper
Hello Doc, when you pump water in the bazooka then ? Water stay in the bazooka to the next work? Or ? How do you put the water out. Hope it doesn't looks too stupid...
I don't fill the bazooka I just open the trap door and pump it through
ah ok thank you very much
How do you expell mud inside the bazooka's tube in case you don't use it all up. Been wondering about that. Thanks
He has a video on that close the door just a little and then the wheel to push the mud out
Turn the knob on the head empty it back in the bucket
Hello doc. I don't have a lot of money right now but I need a bazooka. I have lot of work and the bazooka Asgard is cheap. Do you think I should wait to buy a tapetech or I can buy thé Asgard for my first bazooka ? Thank you for your help !
What's the price difference? And if you take care of your tools and keep them clean and oiled any bazooka should last for years.
Asgard 1450 and tapetech 2312euros ( dollars) with both a pump and goose neck. 862 différence And Asgard is build buy tapetech apparently . Can't wait. I m like a child for Christmas
Hi what kind of oil is good for the rubber seals in my flat boxes
Albert Dik they will tell you silicone spray. In reality, whatever you got. Wd40, silicone, bazooka oil
Michael Durkin ok thanks
Motor oil
Did u drayn the bazooka, after u filler up whith the pump
jairo marin he didnt fill the bazooka full of water, as you can see the bazooka isnt in filling position he only flow water into the head cleaning the head, your tube must be empty of mud
jairo marin nothing to drain Braque
Oh yes. I still bringem home and use the shower head on a hose.
Never know O might get lucky ;)
Lol .. I guess that works ..
The bucket heater works wonders doesn’t it!? Basically melts the mud off the tools.
No you still have to brush it off hot water works better than cold water
