    Doc when you mentioned Welch drywall in the late 70s I also worked for them into the early 80s this is where I remember you from also Dritex in the 80syou must recall joe labelle his favorite saying was I’ve got a real cream puff for you! The puffs were rarely scrapped out which did not make my father and I too happy. I think the rate was around 7cents. We eventually found out thru the hangers that were getting shorted on the board count that was a deal breaker, naturally.urban legend has it that a young disgruntled taper mixed a bucket or duro 20 and filled the gun pump and rest of tools with that hot mud. I guess back in the day drywallers didn’t put up with too much bs.

    I beleive that Iam a reallly good taper, and I also notice a good taper when I see it and you are really good at what you do, I learn lots of tricks watching your videos.
    Lol, most of the guys I work with have no idea what they are doing but is normal, and the best part is that they are all techers/ and what I call preachers of the trade, but no one knows what they are doing just an idea. I appreciate someone that knows what they are doing. Their mistake is that they dont go around adn work with different people so they think that what they are doing and their system is the best nothing I can say about that.
    Respect to your skills.

    Clever on the headers.... i once did a job where i was forced to get done extreemely fast and floated actual "But joints" out in a 2coat system but it was w/popcorn. I believe the system was to hand coat the deep side(after the 1st coat was done) w/1swipe....amazing just how fast one can be if he has to be. The situation was that moisture had to be out of the house & therefore the taping and texturing done, so the flooring guys could utilize the warantee...they were able to measure the humidity...ithink it had to be 17% or lower otherwise they had to be rescheduled, we got it done on time along with popcorn landing in the freshly mudded final coat...it should hav been made a video for youtube. TH-cam didn't exist bak den, lol

    Could you possibly create a video that includes maintenace work on the flat boxes such as replacing springs, how to spot wear and tear, or how to replace/calibrate your blade. A maintenance video an autometic taper (bazooka) would be great also, replacing the blade or how to spot wear tear or replacing the chain. Thank you!

    Not good avoiding a lid on the bucket. Your going to have foot problems later without it. Viewers, be mindful to load the bucket with something of weight in it and use a lid.

    Other than that, the lesson is spot on mud application techniques.

    Hello, I appreciate all the work you put into these videos! I was wondering if you could tell me how much water you would put into a full bucket of all purpose USG Drywall compound before you box off your seams. I just bought a pump, a 10 inch box, and a 12 inch box. the thickness of the mud that I'm using I believe might be too thick because I have to press so hard on the box to get the mud to come out smoothly, but officially I was told no more than a pint of water at a time, and that certainly doesn't seem thin enough. Could you clarify how much you use Please, thank you so much!

    I've been renovating historic houses in NYC for thirty-five years, and am new to the world of flat boxes. Can I get by with a Columbia 10" flat box and a mud pump? It seems to me corner joints are easy enough to do by hand with a 6" knife. Another question I have, standard USG mud from Home Depot, does one have to thin down that mix with water to successfully use a flat box and pump? Thanks a lot!

    How tall are you ? I'm a 6'5" taper and can touch an 8' lid with my palm standing flat footed , so I guess since I'm not a good basketball player , I've found my dream job !

    You started out quite good and then it just went bad you don't need to use a paddle or a knife after using the boxes they are a finishing tool you've used them as an applicator which saves you nothing really how you end up with a good joint I don't know Tim Wagga plaster works
