Drywalling is pure art. I am in a carpentry class and we are learning about drywalling and installing trim molding, and sidings. It is really tough. Drywalling takes a lot of skill
@@brandonloving7873You want to "bury" the ends of your tape as much as possible. So butts first, then tapered, then corners. The corner tape covers the ends of the tapered joint tape, which covers the ends of the butt joint tape. I mud in roughly the same order, with some allowance for whatever is too wet to intersect without ruining previous work. Screws when I feel like it, or fed up with other tasks. It won't ruin anything if you get it out of order, but that's standard practice.
A great video for the beginner or some contractors ~ So unlike many drywall video he takes the time to go step by step and is very thorough ~ Many of these drywall videos are more inclined to basically "show-off" and skip over many essential steps ~ The only thing that I would add to this video is that when you are using the block/sponge in the inside corners just be aware to watch the adjacent corner and while of one side do not allow these blocks to dig into the opposing side [if not careful these blocks will dig a trench.......other than this little tid-bit this is one of the BEST ON TH-cam....Jimbo / SC
You are the best teacher! You are so clear and detailed in all your videos. Amazing how well you present everything. Thank you so much for all your videos.
Great beginner video Josh. So correct, that after years of finishing, you learn different techniques as everybody does. A lot of the hangers that my dad had they installed the corner bead and would usually use the crimper to get it set in place and then follow up with nails or screws. I have found after over 50 years of finishing that even taking an extra coat of compound and rolling it on, which is also known as glazing. This is a wonderful technique I learned many years ago which saves a lot of sanding. And of course a proper life while standing is the biggest key as well. My dad who taught me as well also said if you can finish a house with a knife fork or spoon and you can do a good job that's what counts. I've always taped with a 4-in knife and then coat with the 8-in then 10 in and then my glazing coat with a 12. The techniques are also different. Like most finishers nowadays use the bazookas and so forth but there's a lot of maintenance to that as well if you don't take care of your equipment. I'm glad your dad took the time to teach you the basics as well. Our fathers are so much alike and at least we both listen and then learn more from that. Great seeing the video and the time you took to put it together. On another note I'm doing much better with the therapy from the back surgery and still have a long road but I'm making wonderful progress. Can't wait to see the next video and I love all your short ones as well. 🔨🔨👍🏻
Thanks David! I know several finisher and they all have their take on it which make it interesting. You have A LOT OF EXPERIENCE! I'm sure how I am doing it here is different than your technique. Yes, 4 inch knife is very common for taping but for me the 6" works. Thankful for my Dad is an understatement for sure! Sounds like you have a similar experience growing up as I did. I researched the bazooka taping tool but I have not used one. Sounds faster! I am glad to hear your recovery is going well. That was a big surgery and you sound like you have a good grasp on the therapy which is huge! Take care David!
I like to break down the construction tasks into layman terms to help people who are not familiar with construction. I really do enjoy making these videos as well. I appreciate your comment!
This was a very informative, I haven't had to do a job that large, but your "How to Tape and Mud Drywall - BEGINNERS GUIDE to Finishing!" video is the best I have watched "EVER." Most just give you a fyi and "You will get the hang of it." To see 3/4 of what you showed in your video I have watched close to a dozen or so videos of other professionals mostly. Thanks for your clear and detailed instruction and advice. Consider this, not everyone watches TH-cam DIY videos, your instructions are extremely clear, I have written training instructions and lessons. You could set your instructions to DVD for sale online. Just a thought... GOD BLESS EBW M.Ed. USN Ret.
I tried to explain how to finish drywall as clearly as possible so a newbie could try it and see what they think. I know people don’t have all the time in the world and can’t sit and watch the whole video but the timestamps make it easy to jump to the areas, fast and view what they want. I appreciate your kind words! God bless you as well. Take care!
I’ve been watching countless videos on drywall installation, repairs, knock down. And this content so far is the most comprehensive and detailed yet. Now if I can start making money doing this because people today don’t seem to respect us tradesmen or want to pay us a livable wage. Then they complain migrants are taking all the jobs we do. Well pay us a livable wage !
This is really a great beginner guide. Just a few more tips; If you are new to taping or struggle with taping ceiling / inside corners .... use a corner paint roller, fill it up with joint compound and roll it in pretty thick, then apply your tape, always pre fold your tape before inside applications. ... another piece of advice if you do have gaps or even small gaps on your seams.. take the time and prefill with a 90 or 45 min. mud it will set up in the Number time 45 mins...and then you can start taping. Quick-set is really good for filling the broken sheetrock. If you use joint compound or All purpose, curing / drying time (depending on the season) can take a couple of days. There are plenty of vlogs to help you there too. Really try to avoid Green lid All-purpose for medium or large projects.. green lid is for really small jobs. Green A/P is very heavy and beginners will inevitably way over coat, NOT a bad thing. BUT, if you use the Green lid, I suggest you by sweeping compound, because you will be sanding until your arms go numb. Or, rent a dustless sander. ... if you insist on A/P try to find lite weight All-purpose, and don't be afraid when taping, if you think that is enough mud for the tape, add a little more. Think of the tape and mud as paper Mache. The mud acts as a glue for the tape... and one more vital point... Take your time...
VERY HELPFUL! Thank you Sir. My wife and I are contemplating finishing our garage which was left at a Level 2 drywall status from the builder. This was very helpful to learn how to complete the work.
Thanks for another great video. I prefer paper-faced corner bead. The metal seems to have fallen largely out of favor, at least in my area. I see it crack often in old houses. A tip for beginners is to shine a light sideways on the joint while sanding. If you see any shadow, you're not done. Keep sanding, or smooth out your edges more on the next coat. Be patient. You may need more than three coats to get a good result.
You’re welcome! Thanks for adding your input on helping the viewer improve their skill set by using a light and shadow. Yes, more coats is definitely welcome if needed. Thanks for watching!
Looking to start an apprenticeship as a drywall finisher. Since I have no experience, I was told to do some research before my upcoming interview with the union training center. This was a very informative video. I'll definitely be watching more of your videos over the next couple of weeks. Thanks for making these videos!
Awesome! If you start from the beginning of this channel, there is a ton of content! I’m always trying to keep the channel fresh with new ideas and content. Thanks for watching!
This is the best, most comprehensive DIY lesson I have ever seen. You do a great job teaching! Do you have a video on what to do after removing wallpaper and prepping to paint.
I really do appreciate this comment. Thank you! I do not have a video on removing wallpaper. That would be a good video to make in the future. Thanks and good luck on your project!
Appreciate your knowledge my brother🤞🏾 working on my first project no experience and with all your videos everything is coming out nice. Literally been a virtual student
Thanks Josh for the best teacher so far in how to do drywall etc. What kind of gloves do u use? Thanks again for sharing your knowledge of the Best Way.
Hi! A few questions! 1.) After using the green lid mud, letting it dry etc why do you change to the purple lid? Could the green lid not be used for the second coat? 2.) Why is the metal trim only used on an outer corner, but not an inner corner?
You could use the green lid mud for the second coat. We typically do not because it is harder to sand. I will say because it’s harder to sand, it’s a harder mud once it is dry, which may offer more protection. Metal corner bead is not necessary on the inside corner because paper tape is sufficient to make the inside corner. The outside corner could easily get hit by an object and damage the drywall. That is why you want a metal outside corner. I hope that helps!
outstanding video.... You have been such a great help with all that you do, Thank you.... One question... When putting on the tape, do you not put a second coat over the tape so you do not get bubbles and the tape is thoroughly wet ???? I have always been told that if you only do the coat than the tape and smooth it out without a cover coat the tape will be too dry and bubble??? I would love to hear you opinion and thoughts on this.... Again thank you for all the great content it has helped so much...
Appreciate that! We let the tape dry and put the second coat on as shown in this video. We do not have excessive issues with bubbling or anything of that nature. I hope that helps!
In my experience, bubbles are more a result of not enough mud under the tape. You can also add more water to the mud. No need to add joint compound on top just to get it wet. Some people wet their tape before applying. I don't. I also find that trying to coat over the tape while it's wet doesn't yield a good result. It doesn't hide the tape like a second coat over a dried taping coat, for some reason. So it just ends up being more passes, which seems like a waste of labor.
Great video. But why are you using mid weight mud for the first coat on outside corners only? You are using regular all-purpose mud the first coat on everything else.
I’m currently making a video on painting the garage. After that I will be doing cabinets but I have different videos in between that will be coming. Stay tuned!
I like how you have cameras up in the not yet finished garage, good idea to catch people possibly going for a jog who might happen to sneak around in there
What level of finish would this be equivalent to? From what I understand, most residential applications get a level 4 for light texture or flat paint, and level 5 if you are going to have satin or gloss paint.
When applying the tape you mention "all other non taper and butts would go first then taper goes before the butts" correct? And then when applying the second coat of mud you mention that "butt joints go first before the taper" is that correct. Im just trying to follow you in the proper sequence. Is it in that order for dry time purposes??
Gosh, are you that difficult and we Dutch are that good and easy? 😉 Just take AK plasterboard, mesh the seams and plaster the recessed part evenly with the plasterboard.. after drying, apply a thin finish layer one more time, slightly overlapping. After drying, sand diagonally with a fine sanding net and you are ready for sauce without seeing a single line.
Speaking personally I don't really think it's necessary to leave a gap in between because you shouldn't be dealing with expansion and contraction when it's mudded in place anyway ; some people say you should leave an 1/8" gap
@@TheExcellentLaborer Thank you for quick response. I'm about to start drywalling in my basement. Next Wednesday I will have framing inspection. Wish me good luck. And thank you for your guide
I'm not sure how much it would cost in Canada because our prices here are totally different I'm sure. Ask a local builder for the best idea in your area. Thanks for watching!
You need to cut it to different sizes and shapes so it would be impossible to account for all of that ahead of time. Now, if you could create a tool that allowed you do taper the edges as you went, I think you’d be a millionaire.
I do drywall finish work about 3 times per year and I’m fairly good once I’m about 50-75% finished with the room and I can’t you just how frustrating that is. The best way to explain it is 😫😫😫🤬🤬🤬🖕🖕🖕🤬🤦♂️🤷♂️💀🤦♂️🤷♂️
The confusion labels on the products are annoying. Why call something all purpose if it isn’t? I’ve been trying to learn more about drywall repairs and the product descriptions are confusing and misleading.
Guy does the most comprehensive video on YT, and you declare him 'wrong' because your personal preference is different. I prefer metal corner bead on high wear areas.
I think you need to learn how to do drywall before you try to show how to do it instead of using the whole knife to spread the mud , use just the side of your knife to spread and then use the full blade to smooth out the screw holes
He did fine. Showing the overall correct materials and process is more important than the little flourishes. Those come with practice anyway, and honestly can't be easily taught except by experience, especially over video. I still do screws one by one half the time.

We sure did!

Is it in that order for dry time purposes??
how can you hang the mini split before you're finished? take it back down again for paint?
Hello, did you put on your 2nd coat on the same day you put down the tape?
I always wait for the drywall mud to dry between coats. I never have tried it on the same day, but it might be possible. I hope that helps!
Will that no coat angle tape straighten out angles that are not straight?
Oh yes, it will help it a lot. If it is really bad, it won’t take it all the way out but certainly help. I hope that makes sense!
Gosh, are you that difficult and we Dutch are that good and easy? 😉 Just take AK plasterboard, mesh the seams and plaster the recessed part evenly with the plasterboard.. after drying, apply a thin finish layer one more time, slightly overlapping.

Do I have to leave a gap between drywall sheets?
Speaking personally I don't really think it's necessary to leave a gap in between because you shouldn't be dealing with expansion and contraction when it's mudded in place anyway ; some people say you should leave an 1/8" gap
We do not. Check manufacturer recommendations for your Drywall. Thanks for watching!

good job
How long should you wait between each coat?
nailed it
I try my best when I make one of my videos. I appreciate you taking your time to let me know!
Kind of curious why you didn't introduce the corner knife
I have a corner knife, but never use it. I hope that helps!
@@TheExcellentLaborerI've got to say you did a great job without it and doing the corners in half kind of eliminates the need for the corner knife
Why the AC is installed already ? Should I do that before or after finishing the drywall?
@@khelix23ideally I would do the drywall first
15:34 what angle is used to clean before putting the tape without removing to much mud?
Does it matter if you start on the outside corners first or the flats?

@TheExcellentLaborer hard to tell other than your clothes but in general is it 1 day (24hrs) between coats?
If your building is dry and warm, 24 hours should be adequate between coats. I hope that helps!
How much would it cost for me to build a 16 wide 60 long house I live in Canada
I'm not sure how much it would cost in Canada because our prices here are totally different I'm sure. Ask a local builder for the best idea in your area. Thanks for watching!

Yes it sure does. Thanks for your support!
So you don’t mixed it with water using mud for the screws holes only when tapping
They should make drywall where all sides are tapered.
You need to cut it to different sizes and shapes so it would be impossible to account for all of that ahead of time.
Now, if you could create a tool that allowed you do taper the edges as you went, I think you’d be a millionaire.
Great stuff, but definitely understand why you would want to hire someone...lol
Exactly! Lots of work. Thanks for watching!
Just imagine breathing that fine dust all day ?? Best to do wet sanding
为什么我贴的纸在干了后会起皱纹？Why does my sticker paper wrinkle after it dries?
If using metal bead, make damn sure your framer has everything fairly sqared and you always have something to screw to.. or else it sucks
I do drywall finish work about 3 times per year and I’m fairly good once I’m about 50-75% finished with the room and I can’t you just how frustrating that is. The best way to explain it is 😫😫😫🤬🤬🤬🖕🖕🖕🤬🤦♂️🤷♂️💀🤦♂️🤷♂️
The confusion labels on the products are annoying. Why call something all purpose if it isn’t? I’ve been trying to learn more about drywall repairs and the product descriptions are confusing and misleading.
Outside corners don’t need taping. Inside always.
why is it called no-coat?
I'm not sure I understand the name
I assume because the very inside corner doesn’t have mud covering it.
你是一个好老师，你还需要装修工人吗？我去跟你工作。You are a good teacher, do you still need a decorator? Can I go and work with you?
I really want to work with you, if you don't mind.
Where's your PPE?
Wrong , most corner bead is not nail on , that went out in the early 70s. Tape on corner is far Superior. Vinyl is useless
I agree
Guy does the most comprehensive video on YT, and you declare him 'wrong' because your personal preference is different. I prefer metal corner bead on high wear areas.
@ tape on bead is a metal corner…Einstein
There's always more than 1 way to skin a cat. Sometimes at jobs u gotta use what u gotta use to get it done

I think you need to learn how to do drywall before you try to show how to do it instead of using the whole knife to spread the mud , use just the side of your knife to spread and then use the full blade to smooth out the screw holes
Everyone has their own technique. Thanks for watching!
He did fine. Showing the overall correct materials and process is more important than the little flourishes. Those come with practice anyway, and honestly can't be easily taught except by experience, especially over video.
I still do screws one by one half the time.
