@@ThatKiltedGuyDIY I hope you do. There is certainly a need for it with the very high shortage in skilled labor and tradespeople. I know I appreciate it. It's God's goodness to me for sure.
Another recommendation to degloss most paints is either TSP,or TSP substitute. I'm also a journeyman painter. And thats my go to way of deglossing and cleaning walls, cabinets, industrial areas,etc. I'd personally never take the time to scuff walls with sandpaper.
Same as you, suprised TSP was not the top of the list. It is meant to degloss paint and remove the finishers, as well as grease , nictotine and other contaminants. TSP and then rinse with clean water, both done with a sponge and rubber gloves. Easier than sanding and not dust.
Appreciate that I didn't want to sand all my walls trying to redu a room currently. After I use the tsp I can re plaster and paint over if needed then?
yessir. And if you have adhesion issues,an all-purpose primer such as Kilz, Zissner,or Sherwin Williams problock should do the trick.@@nicholaslangner8106
6:03 You recommend scuffing up especially a glossy surface. What about with Gardz? Sometimes I worry about that when I can feel how slick it can leave some areas. Is that also important to sand or since it is meant for being topped with joint compound is it different?
It's meant to be coated without sanding. Here's their description - "When dry, GARDZ may be topcoated with any standard architectural water-based or oil-based primer or topcoat. GARDZ is compatible with all types of joint compounds and spackling pastes and any texture or popcorn finish may be applied over it.
@@ThatKiltedGuyDIY Thank you for the reply. Yes, Zinsser gives those application directions. But I wanted to know what you think, with your experience with Gardz. So that is one glossy finish we don't need to worry about? No need to scuff up with sanding?
a couple of questions for you, 1) I scraped the popcorn ceiling in a smaller room, came off mostly good. What do you do for like a corner where the paper tape ripped up a little bit on the ceiling part, but not on the wall part? should I rip the tape off and redo on both the wall and ceiling, or can I put some mud behind it and push the paper back onto the wall? 2) also I have a spot where the paper ripped off in tiny little specs, like the size of a ant for each one, but like 20-30 of them within a sq ft or so, its just like little specs that kinda got caught from scraping, any advice there? I am going to repaint the walls and ceiling after, so no worries about that, and I plan on doing a skim coat cause I want a super clean finish. 3) do I need to clean up dust before I do repairs, and do I need to clean up dust before doing a skim coat, and before I paint?
Grrr, this is happening to me. The stupid popcorn is super heavy at the corners. Also makes it super hard to get smooth. I used some adhesive to spay the lifted tape back down, but that's probably wrong.
I watched this one to see what I might have missed on my current bathroom refinish. Happy to say, I am good to finish mudding this weekend! Also, really loved your United We Stand, Divided, We Fall shirt!
Love love love doing drywall under your guidance! Too bad I didn't keep my high school love letters. They were in Gaelic from my bag piping, kilt wearing guy. Keep rocking!!
Right away I wanted the vacuum robot. I'm gonna go get some gojo and dilute it for step one. Sir, you are freaking awesome and love how you explain things. It was cool how you included the car (lol) but you gotta remember people like me who are watching you and doing work at the same time are definitely going to be annoyed. We trying to learn not see your hobby! lol, I'm kidding. Nicely done. But seriously haha. Bouta go buy a vacuum now and mud some walls.
I have a serious problem and would love your help. I sanded all my walls and wiped down all the dust. I just started priming the existing painted (eggshell) walls with Behr multi-purpose primer. I noticed some bubbles in a lot of areas (areas not freshly mudded). I can take my drywall knife and pull off sheets off if I run my knife under the bubbles. It looks like the previous paint layers are delaminating from the wall. Will an oil-based primer like Zinsser Cover Stain or a shellac-based primer like Zinsser BIN help in my case and re-adhere the paint? I think I'll have the same problem if I use a water-based primer like Zinsser Bullseye 123. Any advice is greatly appreciated!
I watched workmen put together an outside wall in our neighborhood. It was a sheet metal wall they covered with stucco to make it look like a concrete wall with stucco. I looked at that and said to myself: "that's going to come off". Sure enough it failed within a couple of weeks. Metal flexes with temperature. Same thing with wood or other similar surface. Mudding over it is placing rock on the surface. Any movement of the underlying surface, it is going to crack off.
The diameter of those steel giant, round, cookie-pan shaped tanks (usually asphault in tanks) that you see in refineries will expand up to 4 inches once the tank is heated up so the asphault is thin enough to flow through pipes. Insulation walls and roofs (installed over/after the plate metal roof) are often added later to help insulate the tank and cut down on heating costs. They have 4 gutter looking channels on the roof but they have nothing to do with draining water they're actually expansion joints that you have to tie the insulation roofing panels to. If the panels were tied to the tank they'd all be ripped apart from the expansion of the tank- which is solid thick steel.
I have a small job for my son's bathroom, he has his walls painted with a semi-gloss paint, if I spray his walls with Kilz do I still need to sand the walls?
Go over it again with the tool, or.. wait a bit until the mud is tacky, then polish and use the small amount of fat in the blade as you scrap fill the bubble voids.
I’ve got a lapse in plaster wall but it up against a drywall wall. Part of the lath and plaster cracked so I cleaned it all out now I have a gaping hole in the lath and plaster side. How do I fix that? And would you like to see a picture?

Hey Guy, I have a question about cracking paint. It was caused either from too thick of paint or not let it cure long enough between coats. I've tried sanding and scraping but it doesn't flake off or sand well. I also tried using killz 3 primer that has a shine too it to see if it would hide cracks but was unsuccessful. Could I skim over this and if so what steps should I take? I'm also concerned about recracking. I've even considered paint stripper but was afraid I might cause more damage. This was a popcorn removal project that went well from watching your other videos. Unfortunately I did a bad job on the paint process which has made this so stressful. Would appreciate your input. Thank you in advance!
Plain drywall mud isn’t very good at fixing cracks. If they are cracks because you put the paint on too thick, let it dry for a month and then repaint it properly with two coats of high-quality paint from somewhere like Sherwin Williams.
I have a Workshop with lots of small depressions on it. The age of worship walls is 21 years old. May I just level the depressions with mud then prime and paint over it?
That texture gun you linked in description of another vid has a ridiculously small hopper. You might as well get spray texture in a can for the space that the gun will cover in a full hopper.
So I've got a question, need some help. So I've got a 1996 clayton 16x80 mobile home with that vynil faced drywall, that has also been painted with what I think is a latex paint. I'm taking out the strips between each sheet of dry wall & mud n tapeing the wall like normal house walls with lots of patches. Now this is not quite half the house more than half the house is getting new dry wall but I've decided to salvage what I can, maybe. The question is what kind of mud do I have to use to tape & patch them old trailer walls with a 10 yr old latex paint job over them. Any help would be appreciated thanks
You can still find those strips new old stock at the new mobile home dealers or new from suppliers. Mobile home drywall is not the same thickness as stick built house drywall . You can buy those sheets as well still new old stock.
I have a wall that when it goes in to the corner it sinks in about 2 inches over a 3 ft span. Can that be floated out even with mud or should I just cut the dry wall out and fur the studs out and put new drywall on top.
I have a customer with painted cmu walls. They would like "flat walls" as in a level 5 finish. What is the correct product to skim coat with? I was thinking USG All Purpose Top Coat. Thanks!
I’m not sure what a CMU wall is but unless you’re going over raw drywall, I wouldn’t use topcoat as it doesn’t have as much adhesion to it. Regular all purpose, has better adhesion and if it’s over paint or anything, glossy, sand it with coarse sandpaper first to ensure it can stick to it. Be sure to remove any dust, though.
@@ThatKiltedGuyDIY gotcha. Some rooms the previous homeowners left me have wallpaper borders slapped straight onto the drywall, with tons of layered paint around it. I removed some wallpaper last night, and I’m left with exposed drywall and about a 6 layered paint difference between the two, and has a very hash paint line. So in order to even that area of my walls, does sanding down the paint line until smooth, then put mud over it to even out the wall thickness sound good?
I’m somewhat new, but have watched over a thousand videos on hotmudding/painting/fibafuse etc. Hint: Do NOT use the bucket joint compound; DO use 20 or 45 minute hot mud. I would never paint over wallpaper or hotmud over it. It’s worth the effort to take every bit of wallpaper off, using water and a large sponge. Then sand and wipe wall clean. Get it as smooth as possible. Hint: Apply oil based primer to the entire wall; not water based. There will always be residue glue on the wall from the wallpaper and water will activate it. After sanding any imperfections again, I then applied Zinsser 123 water based primer. Wall now ready for paint without hotmudding. I then removed a border in the bathroom. I again applied Kiltz oil based primer after removing wallpaper and sanding. I then Patched towelbar holes and other damage with hotmud. Sanded again and applied Zinsser water based primer to entire bathroom. It may be an overkill, but it’s nice and smooth for paint. But to answer your question about unevenness, you may have to hotmud the entire wall. Just be sure to seal in that glue with oil based primer first. You might just apply it to the wallpaper border area. Good luck
Fastest, big fans in the windows, and the leaf blower, cleanest, vacuum cleaner rated for drywall dust. Cheapest, dust, mops, that you shake out a lot, or even damp mopping, with a big dust mop. Sanding with a vacuum attached. Drywall sander does a pretty good job of removing the dust as you go.
Watched most of your videos multiple times and have learned so much, but I still have questions. I have 2 projects 1. ba wall; 2 bedroom wall. First, bathroom wall looks to have satin finish. I washed with tsp. I removed old sealant (caulking) where the lower half tiled wall meets the upper painted wall. Left damaged sheetrock where I removed caulking, which I need to hotmud. Should I seal the entire wall with Zinsser 123 before repairing with hotmud? Or should I use an oil based Kiltz primer? (hoping u say water based 123). Second project, I've prepared (opened up) settling cracks in bdr wall (has flat paint) to ready cracks for fibafuse and hotmud. Instead of sanding wall before hotmudding, can I use liquid sandpaper? Then do I need to apply zinsser 123 b4 hotmudding? thanks so much for your help.

Great video again from the best kilted drywall man. Question:After sanding with a radius sander on flat - or eggshell paint knock down walls, use a damp rag to remove the dust? Any other way? The radius sander has a microfiber mop cover. Can I just use that dry or is a damp rag better? Sanding a flat paint wall creates a lot of dust. The nice thing is that using a Wen power sanding pool even takes off some of the knock down texture.
Good news.. My sisters neighbor decided to become a handyman.. And, he is doing drywall all wrong in so many ways.. Soooooo, I'm forwarding your videos to educate him.. But, he is an idiot and hard headed, will still do it his way..
What if it’s a house full of stoners sparking doobies all day, Lets just say the rooms white walls are now looking yellow covered in a sticky icky dank resin because from countless clambakes. Would that require cleaning? hypothetically speaking, of course.

We trying to learn not see your hobby! lol, I'm kidding. Nicely done. But seriously haha. Bouta go buy a vacuum now and mud some walls.
I have a serious problem and would love your help. I sanded all my walls and wiped down all the dust. I just started priming the existing painted (eggshell) walls with Behr multi-purpose primer. I noticed some bubbles in a lot of areas (areas not freshly mudded). I can take my drywall knife and pull off sheets off if I run my knife under the bubbles. It looks like the previous paint layers are delaminating from the wall. Will an oil-based primer like Zinsser Cover Stain or a shellac-based primer like Zinsser BIN help in my case and re-adhere the paint? I think I'll have the same problem if I use a water-based primer like Zinsser Bullseye 123. Any advice is greatly appreciated!
Nice Rod, thanks again, all the best to you and your loved ones
Malt vinegar cuts grease to
What if there's latex paint on the wall??
I watched workmen put together an outside wall in our neighborhood. It was a sheet metal wall they covered with stucco to make it look like a concrete wall with stucco. I looked at that and said to myself: "that's going to come off". Sure enough it failed within a couple of weeks. Metal flexes with temperature.
Same thing with wood or other similar surface. Mudding over it is placing rock on the surface. Any movement of the underlying surface, it is going to crack off.
The diameter of those steel giant, round, cookie-pan shaped tanks (usually asphault in tanks) that you see in refineries will expand up to 4 inches once the tank is heated up so the asphault is thin enough to flow through pipes. Insulation walls and roofs (installed over/after the plate metal roof) are often added later to help insulate the tank and cut down on heating costs. They have 4 gutter looking channels on the roof but they have nothing to do with draining water they're actually expansion joints that you have to tie the insulation roofing panels to. If the panels were tied to the tank they'd all be ripped apart from the expansion of the tank- which is solid thick steel.
I have a small job for my son's bathroom, he has his walls painted with a semi-gloss paint, if I spray his walls with Kilz do I still need to sand the walls?
No
How do I avoid pin bubbles in my mud when I go over a painted wall ?
Go over it again with the tool, or.. wait a bit until the mud is tacky, then polish and use the small amount of fat in the blade as you scrap fill the bubble voids.
I’ve got a lapse in plaster wall but it up against a drywall wall. Part of the lath and plaster cracked so I cleaned it all out now I have a gaping hole in the lath and plaster side. How do I fix that? And would you like to see a picture?

Where’s the link to that vacuum that you showed?
Just click on any Amazon link in my description and then search for Drywall sanders
Hey Guy, I have a question about cracking paint. It was caused either from too thick of paint or not let it cure long enough between coats. I've tried sanding and scraping but it doesn't flake off or sand well. I also tried using killz 3 primer that has a shine too it to see if it would hide cracks but was unsuccessful. Could I skim over this and if so what steps should I take? I'm also concerned about recracking. I've even considered paint stripper but was afraid I might cause more damage. This was a popcorn removal project that went well from watching your other videos. Unfortunately I did a bad job on the paint process which has made this so stressful. Would appreciate your input. Thank you in advance!
Plain drywall mud isn’t very good at fixing cracks. If they are cracks because you put the paint on too thick, let it dry for a month and then repaint it properly with two coats of high-quality paint from somewhere like Sherwin Williams.
Thanks Rod! Appreciate the knowledge sharing.
Beautiful paint job on your hot rod 🩵🤍🩷
Thanks 👍
I have a Workshop with lots of small depressions on it. The age of worship walls is 21 years old.
May I just level the depressions with mud then prime and paint over it?
Basically, yes
Can you use plus 3 over painted surface?
That texture gun you linked in description of another vid has a ridiculously small hopper. You might as well get spray texture in a can for the space that the gun will cover in a full hopper.
I use it all the time but it’s only for repairs. I use my $250 graco hopper for bigger jobs

So I've got a question, need some help. So I've got a 1996 clayton 16x80 mobile home with that vynil faced drywall, that has also been painted with what I think is a latex paint. I'm taking out the strips between each sheet of dry wall & mud n tapeing the wall like normal house walls with lots of patches. Now this is not quite half the house more than half the house is getting new dry wall but I've decided to salvage what I can, maybe. The question is what kind of mud do I have to use to tape & patch them old trailer walls with a 10 yr old latex paint job over them. Any help would be appreciated thanks
Hello, you can find guys support options on his website below.

You can still find those strips new old stock at the new mobile home dealers or new from suppliers. Mobile home drywall is not the same thickness as stick built house drywall . You can buy those sheets as well still new old stock.
I have a wall that when it goes in to the corner it sinks in about 2 inches over a 3 ft span. Can that be floated out even with mud or should I just cut the dry wall out and fur the studs out and put new drywall on top.
Furr it out. Never fill that much
I have a customer with painted cmu walls. They would like "flat walls" as in a level 5 finish. What is the correct product to skim coat with? I was thinking USG All Purpose Top Coat. Thanks!
I’m not sure what a CMU wall is but unless you’re going over raw drywall, I wouldn’t use topcoat as it doesn’t have as much adhesion to it. Regular all purpose, has better adhesion and if it’s over paint or anything, glossy, sand it with coarse sandpaper first to ensure it can stick to it. Be sure to remove any dust, though.
Another great video, thank you.
Can I hot mud over wallpaper and paint if I sand it real good? Would a bond product help it stick on?
Wallpaper will often bubble up and de laminate from moisture
@@ThatKiltedGuyDIY gotcha. Some rooms the previous homeowners left me have wallpaper borders slapped straight onto the drywall, with tons of layered paint around it.
I removed some wallpaper last night, and I’m left with exposed drywall and about a 6 layered paint difference between the two, and has a very hash paint line.
So in order to even that area of my walls, does sanding down the paint line until smooth, then put mud over it to even out the wall thickness sound good?
I’m somewhat new, but have watched over a thousand videos on hotmudding/painting/fibafuse etc. Hint: Do NOT use the bucket joint compound; DO use 20 or 45 minute hot mud. I would never paint over wallpaper or hotmud over it. It’s worth the effort to take every bit of wallpaper off, using water and a large sponge. Then sand and wipe wall clean. Get it as smooth as possible. Hint: Apply oil based primer to the entire wall; not water based. There will always be residue glue on the wall from the wallpaper and water will activate it. After sanding any imperfections again, I then applied Zinsser 123 water based primer. Wall now ready for paint without hotmudding. I then removed a border in the bathroom. I again applied Kiltz oil based primer after removing wallpaper and sanding. I then Patched towelbar holes and other damage with hotmud. Sanded again and applied Zinsser water based primer to entire bathroom. It may be an overkill, but it’s nice and smooth for paint. But to answer your question about unevenness, you may have to hotmud the entire wall. Just be sure to seal in that glue with oil based primer first. You might just apply it to the wallpaper border area. Good luck
How do you recommend cleaning the drywall after sanding? Especially newly skimmed drywall with a lot of dust. Thanks!
Fastest, big fans in the windows, and the leaf blower, cleanest, vacuum cleaner rated for drywall dust. Cheapest, dust, mops, that you shake out a lot, or even damp mopping, with a big dust mop. Sanding with a vacuum attached. Drywall sander does a pretty good job of removing the dust as you go.
Watched most of your videos multiple times and have learned so much, but I still have questions. I have 2 projects 1. ba wall; 2 bedroom wall. First, bathroom wall looks to have satin finish. I washed with tsp. I removed old sealant (caulking) where the lower half tiled wall meets the upper painted wall. Left damaged sheetrock where I removed caulking, which I need to hotmud. Should I seal the entire wall with Zinsser 123 before repairing with hotmud? Or should I use an oil based Kiltz primer? (hoping u say water based 123). Second project, I've prepared (opened up) settling cracks in bdr wall (has flat paint) to ready cracks for fibafuse and hotmud. Instead of sanding wall before hotmudding, can I use liquid sandpaper? Then do I need to apply zinsser 123 b4 hotmudding? thanks so much for your help.

Great video again from the best kilted drywall man. Question:After sanding with a radius sander on flat - or eggshell paint knock down walls, use a damp rag to remove the dust? Any other way? The radius sander has a microfiber mop cover. Can I just use that dry or is a damp rag better? Sanding a flat paint wall creates a lot of dust. The nice thing is that using a Wen power sanding pool even takes off some of the knock down texture.
Yes you can use the mopping attachment. I’ve got one and it works but you need to shake out the dust every couple minutes is the one issue with that.

Nice hot rod!
Very solid info for drywall rookies like myself
Good news..
My sisters neighbor decided to become a handyman..
And, he is doing drywall all wrong in so many ways..
Soooooo, I'm forwarding your videos to educate him..
But, he is an idiot and hard headed, will still do it his way..
Some people are to proud to learn or admit they are making mistakes. But maybe it will help.
I just mud over that shit and knock the bubbles off. Ain’t nobody got time fo dat
Unless you want your work to last and value quality workmanship, but yeah, if you just care about the money, go for it
What if it’s a house full of stoners sparking doobies all day, Lets just say the rooms white walls are now looking yellow covered in a sticky icky dank resin because from countless clambakes. Would that require cleaning? hypothetically speaking, of course.
