Married 21 years. Historically, fastest way to start a fight? Attempt to fix something. Thank you Leah, with the help of your videos we now have working date nights. We fix something TOGETHER and then go out to eat after we clean up. The house is on the mend. More importantly, I have rediscovered why I fell in love with my wife. I am grateful.
Ben Barker that's fantastic! Good for you both!
:)
Ben Barker
Smart approach!
History yells me I get in an argument with my wife tells me I don't know what I'm doing

Leah...if you'd been my math teacher I'd be a rocket scientist. Seriously...you have an engaging style and voice...something sadly missing in so many DIY videos...look forward to more.
:)
I know! I was thinking the same thing! Leah, you explain things so clearly and patiently that, yes, I wish you had been my math teacher. You really do know the questions that a beginner needs to have answered. Thanks for teaching us that WE CAN DO THIS! :)
seejanedrill I agree with Camp, if the world had a great teacher like yourself. Who knows😊
Same here. Was wondering if she was a school teacher at one point in her life. Excellent instruction skills.
Yes Leah is awesome. This is the first time watching & I'm hooked . Very informative to the point where if one doesn't know what Knapp it's explained . Wonderful teaching abilities!
Great tutorial Leah..... Just a couple points if you don't mind. I have been doing drywall repairs for over 25 years and can tell you the product being used is watered down white glue. I have been making and using this product for many years. 1 part premium white glue, Lepages or Weldbond brand and 2 parts water. Apply just as shown in the video. One tip when applying your drywall compound.... When applying always thoroughly mix your compound before use and wipe it on one direction and wipe or scrape it off the opposite direction, that works it into the loose edges of the paper better. You can also add the white glue to your paint, 1 cup glue to a gallon of latex paint to cover stains without them bleeding through. No oil paint needed. Good Job Leah
GotU Productions - thanks for the tip! I've havent heard of using white glue in latex paint to help cover stains. Does it change the sheen of the paint?
Would sure be a lot cheaper than using a stain blocking paint. And save a quite of bit of time. Thanks again, will definitely be using that tip in the future!
No it does not change the sheen. But does save alot of money
Great info! Thanks!
GotU Productions
You’re amazing to share this Got U !!!!! Thank you pal!!!!!!!!!
Wow! Thanks for these tips...and the glue tip too....living out in the country means waiting to head
into town with a list of things rather than hopping just out the door to get stuff....I have lots of Lepages
or Welbond glue....so tomorrow I will mix up some of your homemade stock and continue on
with this reno bathroom I am doing...thanks GotU Productions, from Eastern Canada, carpenter, MaryEllen
I bought some of that sealer a little wile ago to make repairs on a lath & plaster wall. There was a spot on the wall that had water damage and the plaster had became crumbly. I didn't want to make a big job bigger, so I soaked the plaster with this product. I let it dry for 24 hours. the sealer bound the crumbly plaster back to a solid foundation. Repairs made, no problem. Great stuff. Worth the $$$. Probably not the exact intended application for this sealer. But it worked.
Leave it to Leah to bring another great product here. Years ago when Zinsser first brought this product to market I was in a paint store and the sales rep was showing it to the store owner. He asked me if I give you a gallon would you try it and give me your feedback on it, I use many gallons of it yearly and it yields excellent results every time.
I am so pleased to see Leah do this video as you will truly benefit from applying it to your walls and ceilings. It's especially useful when removing wallpaper and even with scrubbing the adhesive off there are always trace amounts of residual adhesive left. This product seals the glue and the fresh paint will not soften it and cause problems.
Again GREAT demo Leah, you're a gem.
That is a very interesting story, Clint! I guess you were in the right place at the right time. Also, thanks for sharing your experience with Gardz ! :)

Godsmack
You can use it to remove wallpaper? How do you do that?
@@Melissa0774 You can't use it to remove the wallpaper, Clint's comment is just worded a little confusing if read the wrong way. It is useful after the wallpaper is removed, for the adhesive left behind.
Love you Leah. I have always loved doing things with wood but never have had much confidence. I am a nearly 72 year old woman and my husband is finally putting a heater in our garage. I am so excited I can hardly stand it. We live in Colorado and as you may know working outside is not real easy in the winter even though our winters can be pretty mild. I have watched so many of your videos and have learned so much. Everytime you put something new on that I don't have, I have to get it. I am always running too the hardware store or going on line. Keep up the great work and continue with a smile on your face. In my senior years, I am having fun learning. Thank God for You Tube and thanks to all of you that continue to share your knowledge. This issue has just come up and really didn't want to do drywall because there is no need at this point.
I own an Ace Hardware store and we have this in stock.
Just checked yesterday and the Ace Hdwr at Wexford, PA doesn't have it.
Where? We do have in ok
Then your store is unique. Most don’t carry it.
I bought mine at an Ace in Saint Clair Shores in Michigan.
I love our local Ace hardware
Leah you are an incredible teacher! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and making this “how to fix “ damaged drywall so easy to follow.
Leah you rock! I greatly appreciated the depth and detail you went into in explaining not only how buy the why to each step you took. You a great teacher!
Ms. Leah...I love your videos....I have learned so much! I really appreciate you taking the time to teach us!
I'm so happy I discovered this channel! I'm restoring our new house built in 1920 and it needs quite a bit of work. This is literally God-sent! Your videos are so detailed and I feel like I can listen to you ALL day long! Thank you!
Leah needs her own show! I’ve learned more from her and her videos than I have anywhere else!! I wish she could just come to my home and help me!! This video has helped me more than ANYWHERE on the web!!! She’s the best!!
Leah, your videos have helped me teach my 16yo son how to prep his room for a fresh coat of paint. We had several problem areas to address. I learned a few things in the process, too. Thanks for the awesome how-to videos - they are very helpful and much appreciated!
you're welcome, Matt, nice to hear that your teen is learning some tips too!
Good advice and well presented. As a commercial painting contractor, this is our go to product to repair damaged sheetrock and sizing before hanging wallcoverings. Good stuff.
Leah, I am SO HAPPY I found your video! My daughter's bedroom needs to have some drywall repairs, due to pictures and bulletin boards falling off the wall, pulling the drywall paper off in big patches. (I have NEVER had this happen before, in ANY of the houses I have lived in throughout my life) Your tutorial makes this repair look easy and very doable, for someone like me who has NO experience with this sort of repair!
Thanks for this, Leah! In renovating my home I've encountered this problem several times and until now all I could do was use spackle to "seal" the tears and then go over it with a skim of joint compound. It's worked okay but I wish that I'd known of this product a while ago! Thanks for sharing and I really appreciate what you do!
I would live to meet this wonderful person. Smart, sweet, friendly, just overall approachable person. Thank you i have learned so much
Leah,
Thank you so much for sharing your skill and knowledge. We have been removing wallpaper that was put up 20 years ago on walls that were not properly prepared. It has left terrible damage. I found your video this morning and have already ordered the Zinsser Guardz. We hope to start prepping the walls for paint tomorrow.
Hi, Kay. About to start repairs due to old wallpaper as well. Do you mind sharing how this ended up working out for you?
Leah, I've watched several of your videos and they're so educational! I just found myself needing to make this repair. Im so glad you have a video on it.
Leah, love your voice. You are a great teacher. Thank you. Subscribed. Jane
you're welcome, and thanks!
We had about 40% of the sheetrock paper pulled off in our bathroom while removing old wallpaper. We followed this video exactly. Now the walls have been painted, and there's no sign of previous damage. Thank you Leah!
Great video, Leah! Bought this from a local paint store. Product is excellent! I had a huge drywall tear. After I cleaned up the rough edges with a utility knife and sandpaper I used the GARDZ Problem Surface Sealer, and this stuff sealed and strengthened the torn area nicely! Thank God for TH-cam!
Thanks Leah! This is so timely for me and you've given me the confidence to move forward with a really tough wall project. I really enjoy your style
👍👍👍Thanks Leah, I am a home owner and what U are doing is helping me to do a lot a thing by myself and Im saving money, I did all my baseboard job by myself and my wife love the way I did the in and out corners and all Thanks to you.😁
Felix Ramos Great job, Felix!
Fantastic, Felix, you did it! Way to go. :)
seejanedrill thank you so much Leah, will be always ready to watch all the amazing videos U share.
Clear wood sealer
Guardz is a great product. You can roll it over wallpaper glue, then paint it with no crackle. It smells like water bourn lacquers I've used. I bet it's great for sealing MDF, as well.
Thank you for giving me the confidence to decorate my home alone, the thought of it has been so daunting and you’ve eased my anxiety in a major way. Your voice is so soothing!
Ms. Leah, I adore your videos. You explain things so well, and you make it super easy to understand. Thank you for this video. This was exactly what I needed.
You are a Home Repair Magician! You sell so swell I feel like I CAN DO THIS! Your explanation feels SHENANIGAN proof.
:)
You are an amazing teacher! Love your videos, have saved me a lot of money!
Peter Lopez #metoo
Wow! This was exactly what I was looking for. I have some torn dry wall paper in the bathroom. This video was well done, short & sweet. When I was looking for this kind of video on TH-cam, a bunch of them popped up that were 15 to 30 min long! Again, Leah come through with short yet very instructive videos. Thanks again!
I'm so glad I found your channel! You are a wonderful teacher and I appreciate your thorough, friendly explanations of why and how to do a repair.
Leah, you're awesome! Love your educational techniques and your enthusiasm to teach others! Stay awesome!
thanks, Mark!
Love!! Your teaching skills are clear, concise, AND soothing lol. You need to be an educator with those skills, but I'm glad you're doing repair videos, I feel less intimidated :D Thank you!!
She is an educator! lol You should see her do plaster... that's when I fell in love with her
This is the best instruction and explanation I've been needing. My kitchen walls are horrid because I removed old crappy wood paneling off. It left the exact marks. This helps so much and I can't wait to tackle this!
Can I just tell you that your videos have been so helpful to me! I’m a first time homeowner, and I need to sell my house now. So I’m doing some repairs myself to save money. Your videos have been SO much help!! Thank you so much for putting these together!!
I love your calm soothing voice and teaching style. Im still scared until my toenails curve before starting a job, but discover, I can do this. The big problem is getting enough courage to get started. Your our hero.
So, do you want her to read you a bedtime story? Lol
@@raymondyocum7727 You wouldnt be in the story.
@@jeffyoung6967 Don't want in your story, jeffery.
@@raymondyocum7727 Didnt want you in my post either.
The way you explained this made it easy for me to understand. Thank you 👍😁
You have to be one of the most well spoken women Ive ever heard talk about construction topicsin my life. Detailed, concise, and confident... Keep up the great videos
I LOVE THIS WOMAN! I was worrying myself to death about repairing this problem in a flip home. THANKS, Leah!
This lady can teach ! I have picked up some fantastic hints from Jane and i have experience at home upgrades , she deserves her own show on a major network !
Yea, she's been helpful to me several times. Very thorough in presentation.
I use masonry bonder and a wide brush. (available in quarts) The brush will lay the curls of paper back down and doesn't leave a stipple like a roller does. Fill with joint compound, prime and paint.
If only I’d seen this before I purchased a bunch of stuff at H.D.! You have quite a talent of teaching and showing not only to be not intimidated by home improvements but how much easier it could be given the proper way and the tools to do so. Thank you!!
Janet.
Years ago when I was painting my daughters bedroom the new paint I was rolling on caused the old paint to start coming off in big sheets! Needless to say I was panicked, we had a friend Harry Russel who had been doing drywall for over 30 years. He saved the day by telling me to go get a gallon of concrete sealer. I painted those walls with it and it sucked all that loose paint on like magic. Never forgot that tip. The concrete sealer looked exactly like the product you were using and is available at any Home Improvement store. I have since then owned several businesses and become a Custom Decorator and had my Contractors license prior to semi retirement. I love showing and teaching people how to have the home of their dreams on their budget. It’s all about spending money in the right places. One other tip. Thin your drywall compound and it will work much smoother and also save finish time. Thank you for your videos and the time you give to others!
Nice video. I would suggest using a sanding block or sponge for a flatter finish.
Lena's calm voice gives me confidence.
Love ya Leah. Your voice is very calming and you have a gift at thoroughly explaining every single detail in a chronological order. Thanks so much!! Be well
As someone working in the trades you give great suggestions, do nice work and you're a great teacher Leah.
Hope you and yours are well, take care. 👍👍
You're a great teacher. Thank you.
Nice! Thank you for the demo!
Awesome job Leah! Love that I found your videos. I truly think you have the heart of a teacher. You make it look so easy and I am learning so much from you.
Thank you so much for this video! You make things so easy, simple, and user friendly! You have honestly saved me hundreds of dollars by making this knowledge ready available, as we have torn out a laminate backsplash and we have a real mess on our hands. Your other videos are legitimately helpful as well. Thank you!!
Very helpful video thank you so much
as a construction worker I like to think I've seen it all, but you still manage to teach this old dog some new tricks every once in a while. thank you ma'am, and keep up the good work.
I just removed some wallpaper and the removal damaged the drywall. I’ve been looking at lots of TH-cam videos on how to do drywall repairs, but yours is the best that I’ve found. Thank you!!!
you're very welcome!
Leah- This is a great demo. Thank you so much for presenting this so well. I have some torn drywall and you made this look so easy.
Love watch your segments , your Good .......... Thank You .........
you're welcome, Russell, and thanks!
Dear Leah: when you sand with the sand screen. What grit are you using? I need help to get the right product. Thanks
First time I have seen your DIY video (on repairing damaged drywall) and I must say that it was the best video of its genre (DIY repairs) that I have come across!!
Leah, I love how you explain things. Because of you, I have ben able to tackle some challenging DIY projects in my home with confidence. You said I could do this and I found out, I could. Thanks
You are awesome
:)
Another concise explanation from Leah. Thank you Leah.
Thanks so much, this will save me so much time. I removed the outdated wallpaper in our bathroom and 90% of my wall was left with the brown paper. At least now I know how to repair it so I can paint and stencil my wall. You are awesome!
Thank you for an excellent video. Tonight I tore of the outer paper when removing something from a wall. I was dreading the repair. While I am sick that it happened I am glad to have found your video. I can easily do the repair and use the opportunity presented to paint an accent wall.
Thank you so much! I am in the middle of repairing the drywall in my new home, so I have been pouring over different videos.I had no idea, but this product is exactly what I was looking for--your explanation was so helpful. I was able to find some on the shelf at my local Menards!
glad to be of help!
AWESOME! I've done a ton of remodeling - first I've heard of this product but I wish I had known about it 30 yrs ago LOL. We recently wound up skim-coating (to level 5 finish no less) an entire rental because of drywall damage and wallpaper remnants. A *RENTAL* that no doubt will be torn up again in a year or two. I'm sure some quick repairs with this would have been adequate with spot-repairs. Thanks for the tip.
:)
Thank you for this invaluable info, Leah. I am getting some sealer immediately.
Great video Leah. I had my wife pick up a gallon of this stuff for exactly what you describe here (a botched wallpaper job removal that now is going to be painted). This video is really going to help me complete this job.
Just what I needed for my kitchen remodel. Your voice makes it sound so easy and you explain everything in detail. I had to subscribe because you just made my job easier. Thank you!
Nice tip, Leah! Good old-fashioned shellac works well for that, too. It also does a great job blocking stains that want to migrate up through new paint.
Hi Leah,
Another fantastic educational video to help me do the best job I can with my handyman business.
And while I’ve got you on the read, thank you for the tip on the olive puller. A past video. I’ve used now about 20 times and works fantastic!! I amaze my clients.
Thank you so much for your time you take to excellent educational videos.
Thank you so much! Just bought a house and it's COVERED in paper. Each wall looks like it was peeped differently then the last. Some came out great and other ripped everything off. So glad I found this video!
I used this product about a year ago to cover damaged drywall from wallpaper removal and it works great. I then skim coated the walls and the compound stuck beautifully. Great product and thanks again for your great videos.
I like the comment from GotU Productions where he uses white glue and water to accomplish the same. I'm going to try it on the next wallpaper removal/repair job.
Wish I had U-Tube and these products 32 years ago. I spent a whole summer repairing a wall after bamboo wallpaper was removed. You have inspired me to remove wallpaper in another room and painted it. Thank You.
I'm a total newbie but trashed my walls taking down old wallpaper that had been painted over. Just ordered the wall sealer thru your link. Thank you! You have made me feel like "I can do this!"
Nice Leah, I been fixing this issue with white shellac for 45 years .. I think that’s what you have? Works good!
You’re helping many people! Good work, Thank you for sharing what you know, & caring enough .. you are kool for that out look on life, surely good will surround you Leah 🔨😎 keep up this good stuff!
I just discovered your channel on TH-cam. I’m attempting to remove popcorn texture from the ceiling in my bathroom which has been painted and is being really stubborn in coming off. I just watched your video on drywall repair and want to thank you for making what felt like an overwhelming project seem doable. Your videos are so empowering.
THANK YOU! Going through this issue with our 70s home we just bought. I’m taking off wallpaper and finding horrors underneath. You’ve given me confidence to tackle this issue!
I'm glad it was helpful. Good luck with your project!
Wow so glad I watched Leahs video! I’m getting ready to tackle a project after removing wallpaper! Thank you! Looking for the Gardz for sure!
I will watch for more videos from you. Thank you so much for making a job of repairing drywall look so easy. I had watched a couple other videos before I found you. I gave up watching them, because they either took too long to get to the information I needed, or they weren't very good at explaining the project. I am so happy I found you! Keep up the good work!
Leah, your tutorial is excellent. Very logically laid out and well-explained. Thank you.
I've been watching ur videos covering many different subjects. I have to admit that your videos taught me a lot and I love it when you said in the end or throughout the video, words of encouragement. Thanks
I love Leash's videos. Just great instruction and to the point, unlike other TH-camrs who want to pontificate about nothing.
Good video Jane. 50 years ago An older painter/plasterer/drywaller told me to use shellac on torn paper when drywall paper gets torn or glue residue from wall paper being removed. He said spray, roll, or brush it on and when dry sand it smooth then give it a skim coat of mud and it should be good for paint. On the rare occasion you may need a second coat but I haven’t yet. It works great.
Keep up the great content.
Ron
You have one of the most informative handy person channels on TH-cam! God bless.😀
OMG I love first of all, the representation! And the level of easy communication is FANTASTIC. THANK YOU!!!!!
Thank you so much! I had this exact same problem and it was been waiting months for resolution. I believe this will do it!
Terrific tip Leah! I have a few spots in a utility room that looked like your "before" stage. I know how to fix it now. Thank you for providing such great diy vids. 👍
I loved your video. It was by far, one if the best I've seen so far in terms of explaining your process and why you're doing what you're doing. Definitely going to subscribe! :)
Perfect timing, Leah! I've just run up against this problem and I've been scratching my head on how to fix it properly. Now I know! Thank you!
Good luck
Thank you Leah! I have referred you to my daughter who is trying to learn to repair and do small projects on her own. Your tutorials are excellent.
you're welcome, Brenda, and thank you!
Love your videos Leah, I watch 'em all!
Our new to us home has wallpaper boarders and at least one full wall covered in every room. Over the past year moving from room to room i have referred back to your awesome vid for reference. You explain well and i love the way you talk. Keep it up! 😊
Thank you Leah. This video is exactly what I needed. Hope this finds you doing well.
I've done the same thing with kilz with good results long before this product came out.
Glad to see a product dedicated to help doing this type of repair.
Thanks Leah. I can't wait to try this. You really explain the process well.
I ran into this video just hours before I was going to just put the joint compound over the paper where the paint peeled off...I was using a different video that never said to seal first. This was a great video with precise instructions and a great product recommendation.
thanks, glad it was helpful!
It was very helpful. I have no put the sealer on and the joint compound. Just finished sanding, and just have to put another coat on in areas that needed extra. It is all looking great now.
Thanks Leah. Love the step through...I have a two wall project that had wallpaper but it wasn't coming off without a fight. So it came off iln strips. of course it left it's own paper behind and took drywall paper off...so lots of hills and valleys. Going to use a 14" trowel and hand bucket after the sealer (have a big area), light sand and then the 2nd coat of each. Thanks again...Peace
Just what I need, I had rain come in sideways into the stovepipe, and the ceiling got soaked with the drywall ceiling crumbling down.
I had no idea how to fix as just using the texture paint wasn't sticking,
and now I know the rest of the story on how to do the job properly, thanks to "See Jane Drill! "
I always watch your new videos as soon as I get off of work and see a notification you've posted a new video. They're always great. You're doing a good thing to help a lot of people. You rock!
thanks, Kelly, that is nice to hear! :)
Good Advise, Great Job. U really take the time to explain how to Do it. You didn't to long or not to short. To explain how is done.... Some other channels didn't help me by the time they wer done didn't learn anything. so i switch to ur channel Got the Answer i was looking for.. like this problem. excellent work.....Jane!! Thank u so Much!! N Yes we can Do it!! thanks to you.....
