Guys I have 20 years working on drywall and I have never seen a banzooka or or zookabanjo or stuff like that before you are the next generation of drywall or maybe something that I call The human Bazzoka jajaja 😜 congratulations guys hi from North Carolina 🇺🇸
What is the yellow mud? Don’t wait until the other mud has dried? What size knife is that? How does your team bid jobs, by piece? Did you also hang the drywall? How long to completion, how many coats?
I've been finishing drywall for 30+ years and have always taped the top angle. They dont do that in any of the videos I have watched this is do weird lol.
If you ever see a gap up the top it would be cornice of some sort. Most common in Australia is Cove cornice. But if we do square set then we make sure the board is hung tight to each other.
@@Maxkil Eau Claire, WI... we use zook (mostly for angles) and sometimes lower joints.... i'm a one man show so i'll hop up on stilts and wipe behind banjo... it all works.
Because you don't want to wait for it to dry. Especially if you have multiple guys and only one house to do the taping needs to be dry for the next coat
You are right Michael Magill , that is the best technique and time affective spotting that I have ever seen in 26 years , props to that man ! MAXKIL give him a raise if thats one of your employees! Look forward to more DrywallGangsters videos!
@@ClankyRochet huh, that makes sense. I'm working with drywall in Poland, Europe and something like this is really unusual. People over here rather prefer sharp 90° angles :D
I don’t understand the big gap in the angle up by the lid? Is that a new thing? I was a drywall finisher right out of high school years ago. And I’ve never seen such a thing. Please explain.
Yeah mate in Australia the fire rating methods are different and normally has a cornice or crown moulding going up to finish the corners. Very fast and easy. Google Maxkil cornice
Do all of the houses that get hung end up having crown molding or something? Even if they did, you still have to fill those to corners because of fire code. Can you guys show how they are filled please? Just curious because every time the drywall is hung in these videos there is always a huge gap.
There will be cornice like this www.bunnings.com.au/gyprock-csr-55mm-x-3m-cove-plaster-cornice_p0731449 going over that gap, which is allowed in Australia.
A Bazooka,or automatic taper is better. Same speed and you can load more mud into one and tape more flats and angles. Plus with the length of a bazooka you can reach higher ceilings and walls without having to wear stilts.Which of course is safer.
Hi Kenneth. Yeah I totally agree with you however you can't run basecoat through the bazooka. well you can but I've heard of peoples mixes going off quicker than what they expect and ruining the tool. So in this case if you want to finish the job and not just finish the taping first coat and come back the next day when it is dry... You need to use base coat.
@@Maxkil what is your base coat? Hot mud? We use bazookas but would never put hot mud in a bazooka as you've pointed out and would ruin a high dollar bazooka but same principle as your banjo. We use all purpose for taping then go to lighter muds for floats. The only thing we use hot mud for is patches usually from electricians trying to find wires. We do mainly commercial and we are the painters. Here in my state the painters do the drywall finishing. It works out so much better as we fix anything needed instead of waiting on drywallers.
@@mccartneystuart yeah here in nz most plasterers used "hot mud"for most taping even with banjos, i have run "hot mud" in my bazooker years ago just need a good clean out back then
Hate drywall, did after I got home from the service for a couple years, still hate but love watching you guys, good team work and different and better tools now, the 60s and 70s were a little different but same concept, make it look good! Nice job guys.
Thanks Mark, Drywall loves you, she will never leave you! Come back to me. hehe Yeah i think was heaps harder back then with less tools to make it easier. Would've been cool to see. Thanks keep in touch
Good work. Even if you are putting crawl moldings on the ceiling. The drywall have to be tied to the ceiling. You can not live a gap like that one. Like the one that you are taping on this video. Thanks
Would of been nice to see how they do the inside corners .... plus how they tape does massive gaps in the ceiling corners .... almost like there hiding something from us
would like to know about the gaps in the corners? I like the that you can use hot mud or fast setting type compound in the tapero A bazooka is a pain to clean when you use hot mud. I would appreciate a reply about the gaps . Is for expansion?
I’m running the mud box myself and having trouble with long runs on ceilings. Flats and especially internals. Any tips?? I feel like something may be wrong with the box itself but not sure. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks fellas love the videos by the way!!!
Use mine on internals but couldn't get the hang of it on walls and ceilings. Putting the tape over the top might be what I've been missing. Thanks for your response
Stomata Hatachi It covers the joints where sheets meet and helps with expansion contraction. If you were to examine the edge of a plasterboard or drywall sheet you would see that the last 50ml is concave there is an indentation where it butts up to the adjoining sheet. This helps, the tape sits in this indentation and can more easily be covered with mud or joint filler as we call it in UK.
@@robertbrowne4049 Thank you. May Your family, Friends ,and your Relatives are safe and healthy. Let's fight this virus together as a whole. Stay at home and always wash hands.
@SomeDumUsrName we don't get paid to use the mudbox we use base for all taping and the bazooka is too expensive to risk using base through it because you get some bags that go off quicker than the time it states!
@@drywallgangsters i actually prefer to bead AFTER taping flats. After all, the point of taping is to seal in seams while crossing over the ends. Bead crosses over the ends of tape, both flats and angles (inside corners) alike. Edit: Although no one seems to want to hear that on my end. Mechanical work first, compound work second, they say. Whatever.
@@drywallgangsters I gotta know this too. Why wipe down with a 6 inch knife , coat it, then finish with a hawk? Use an 8 inch blue steel knife to wipe down. Done. Fills in nicely.
@@meagaindave2049 usually we tape at the same time as they are being put on by another person so not many are on usually before the flats are taped but have never had an issue with the seams where the bead covers it and tape has gone over the top of the bead not underneath. Also using an 8 inch just spreads the mud to the edges of the recess which we used to do but this board has very deep recesses and doing it this way fills it much more and second coat flats dry much quicker this way!
I would like to know about the gaps in the corners? I like the that you can use hot mud or fast setting type compound in the tapero A bazooka is a pain to clean when you use hot mud. I would appreciate a reply about the gaps . Is for expansion?
you guys didn't nail the bead on did you?? 🤔 Better is mesh metal and clincher tool or staples....much faster. I suppose your want to save money on the bead
Some differences with our skills： their mud looks thicker than tooth paste than our mud-maybe because We use extension handle for chasing up the taper，less powerful than direct mud knife work； we have less mud bedding behind paper tape ，and fill the joints up after tape mud gets dry enough；however，we do the same the these boys when we use fibrefuse tape. good to see these boys working keep me learning
There is something gratifying about watching a professional do something so effortlessly that us homeowners struggle with.
Thanks
Thanks very much
The most unsung of all the trades. Once the plumber, HVAC, electrician, low volt and insulators are done, along comes the drywall guys. The most visible of all the trades. Nice video.
Or if the management or builder sucks, the plasterer will be there BEFORE all of those otehr trades.
Then the painters come in a show how bad the mud work was done.
Guys I have 20 years working on drywall and I have never seen a banzooka or or zookabanjo or stuff like that before you are the next generation of drywall or maybe something that I call The human Bazzoka jajaja 😜 congratulations guys hi from North Carolina 🇺🇸
whats with the huge gap between the wall and ceiling???? not good sheetrocking
Trim gets installed there
I just can't keep from watching this video over and over, you guys are awesome! Keep them coming
Man you guys are fast !! Great team work!! Not too much talking!!! When everyone knows thier job is goes very quick and smooth.
I want to ask you how come you don,t keep your drywall tight to the ceiling?
What is the yellow mud? Don’t wait until the other mud has dried? What size knife is that? How does your team bid jobs, by piece? Did you also hang the drywall? How long to completion, how many coats?
What’s up with the big gaps along the ceiling?
I've been finishing drywall for 30+ years and have always taped the top angle. They dont do that in any of the videos I have watched this is do weird lol.
@@brianjames3126 right . make things a lot faster with no top corners to tape..
Most likely crown molding
Probably crown at the top
If you ever see a gap up the top it would be cornice of some sort. Most common in Australia is Cove cornice. But if we do square set then we make sure the board is hung tight to each other.
Inside corners? We only saw you doing flats.
@11:18 awfi ruff. Why dose he not use his upside down trowel to fix it
How do you like your taper? Have you tried the Zook? I have a Tapeworm bazooka
These are good can quick dry mud in here, I can't use a bazooka, how is it for you... Where are you based
@@Maxkil Eau Claire, WI... we use zook (mostly for angles) and sometimes lower joints.... i'm a one man show so i'll hop up on stilts and wipe behind banjo... it all works.
Whats with that insanely big space at the top?
Is the grout used for the "Benjo" and for the "Box" a grout exclusively in paste, or can powder grouts also be applied?
why they leave a gap at the wall meets the ceiling? for crown molding?
Why ? I don't see any electrical outlet box on the drywall ?
I noticed they dont tape the outside corners why is that. I have alway taped them inless useing the papered metal corners
Efficiency at its highest. These guys dont play around
How do you keep the tape from dragging and falling off the wall
sometimes it just does that, i just allow for a bit of drag at the start
Why do you use hot mud to set the tape and not regular compound ?
Because you don't want to wait for it to dry. Especially if you have multiple guys and only one house to do the taping needs to be dry for the next coat
How does it compare to a bazooka? Would running a 7" flatbox be quicker for that recess fill ? Just wondering.
Why do they leave that open in the corner?
What is the deal with that top angle
The guy on stilts has the hole filling swish technique down pat. Good crew.
hey mate what was you email address so I can send you this gift card for the last win... did you watch the video of the draw?

Whats the name of the tool that place like a tape on the wall and roof? The one that the cat shirt guy use?
I bought the stilts，but have not figured out how to walk on it comfortablly……I need a tutorial video from u
i can personally do a video on how to stumble and fall on some stilts... but thats a good idea to do a few minute video on how to walk on stilts...
lol...when you are about to fall....just grab everything you can on the way down....your doing it right if you look like a cat covering up shit
easiest way to learn is inside, and brace yourself on the ceiling until youre comfortable
Why not use a box?
Why is there a 2 inch gap between wall and cielings
Why dont you guys use a automatic taper. Like ones from tapetech or Columbia?
For this work these mud boxes are quicker.
Why the gap between the walls and ceiling?
Do all of the houses that get hung end up having crown molding or something? Even if they did, you still have to fill those to corners because of fire code. Can you guys show how they are filled please? Just curious because every time the drywall is hung in these videos there is always a huge gap.

Beautiful job very good coordination for those guys I love it
Bonjour, pourquoi vos plaques ne vont pas jusqu’au plafond ?
what's with the gap between walls and ceiling?
What is up with the gap between the wall and ceiling, is that a weird foreigner thing? What was the solution to that, crown molding?
He said they were putting up crown. I guess they don't tape behind crown. Big no no here in the States.
Correct and correct.
Big no-no here in Canada as well
you cover the tape before which dry? its not buckling?
nah thats the skim coat, still considered that first taping coat
@@Maxkil thank you for the answer and sorry for my english 👍👍😅😅
What sort of blade are you using for the first joints ?
How’s that house pass with that ceiling gap? That too much I can see the light through the roof
They're in Australia. It's standard practice there.
why the gaps at the top of the wall? crown mold ?
yes crown or cornice is what we call it here in Australia
tight is right in a america@@Maxkil
bugs and shit
do you use the 45min mix or all purpose mix for the taping cycle?Thanks
Hi guys nice work
Is it quick set material (40min) or premixed that you are using to tape
Hey mate yes it's quickset. That's the beauty of using a mudbox instead of a bazooka
Maxkil thnx
I’ll order it and try it then
Keep up the good work

Prefill?
What do you guys do on top corners. Look like a pretty big gap
yeah we use crown molding, or as we like to call it cornice...
@@Maxkil I was wondering the same. You don't tape behind crown? You will not get away with that in the US.
Good work, how do cover / fill the wall to ceiling corner gaps?
Phil Sheldon probably getting crown moulding
In Connecticut those gaps would fail inspection
Yeah of course. You need to make it right for your regulations over there.
Correct.
master how do they make Plaster's first hand stand straight after the taping or have the spatula modified I mean what the boy in the green shirt does
Usually after that 1st coat can you texture? Or will you do a second coat
These guys are on whole new level of plastering. WoW
I would love to have one of them tapers $$ how much

Some differences with our skills：
their mud looks thicker than tooth paste than our mud-maybe because We use extension handle for chasing up the taper，less powerful than direct mud knife work；
we have less mud bedding behind paper tape ，and fill the joints up after tape mud gets dry enough；however，we do the same the these boys when we use fibrefuse tape.
good to see these boys working keep me learning
I think thats to help avoid paper tracking, If you are gonna fill straight over paper tape it can't be too wet.
You can only use durabond if you use mesh tape
You don't have to fill in while you tape it just makes it easier to bed coat
