- The tear out has happened, removed the old tile wainscot in the bathroom and are ready to put things back together.
In todays episode we prepare the walls with primer and begin to skim coat
I spent a whole day sanding adhesive off 2 half walls, I wish I had found this video first! Now I can just do this for the rest of my walls! Lifesaver!
Oh yaaa, better late then never I guess! Glad it helped, it’s a time saver for sure! Depending how rough the walls are too, sometimes I rip them right out, or add drywall over them if the space allows.
Working a trowel is an art, and I have never mastered it. I enjoy watching guys who can, and that includes you.
Thank you! Appreciate the compliment, it’s surely is harder then it looks
This was just the video I needed to boost my confidence in tackling my old bathroom! Great job man!!
Awesome! Glad it helped, it’s a lot of work but if you have the time it’s a great and easy way to save money!
Omg this video is a lifesaver! Currently battling a wall in my new home after removing wallpaper and having adhesive from hell!
I’ve been trying to remove it for months slowly and now I’m just going to prime straight over that bad boy 😅
Thank you!!
Glad that it could help! One thing I'd keep in mind, wall paper adhesive is a bit different then what I'm fixing in this video, so i'd recommend doing a test area first, prime it, paint it, and see if it adheres or not.
Good luck!
Wow, great job, you'd never know there was adhesive residue behind the mud👍
I'm doing a similar job right now to this video I'm very happy I found this video lol. I was worried about the tile adhesive causing failure or bubbles in my plaster job so I didn't know if I should primer it with binz or killz but I definitely will be using the 123 primer like you before I skim coat. Thanks 🙏
Thanks for the guidance I have a similar project in front of
Thank you for sharing this with us because I’m so sick of looking at the ugly pink tiles in my bathroom and I’ve been wanting to get rid of it and you’ve helped me so much !
Yes! I just did a bathroom with those pink tiles as well.. ended up ripping the plaster off completely :p
But it’s nice to know you don’t have to go to that length to update your walls!
Thanks for watching!
@@zackcrafted it’s not going to be as easy as I thought it would be but I’ll get it figured out sooner or later . They’ve been on there a long time and some are just falling off and some of them don’t want to come off it’s just frustrating but I’m will get it done one way or another . Thanks again for your help have a good evening and week ahead as well . 😊
I initially thought I'd spray our ugly pink tiles white but I'm exploring possibly removing them and having a cleaner looking wall. I'm nervous to mess it up and take off pieces of wall or having it look messy bc I've never done anything like this.
@@jaymiforman5782 I’ve never done it either but I’m so sick of looking at that pink tile on my bathroom walls it’s just ugly . I haven’t started it yet but I’m going to try it soon . You and I can try it out together so that way that we can each other moral support during and after the process . lol …
Hey Zach what was the first two coats I couldn't quite read the package I know it was a 90 though but I couldn't see them if extra was
great video!
Thank you sir. Looks good.
Hi there does it matter if I use a water based or oil based primer? Thank you
So smooth
Hey man great video, did you sand in between coats?
Thanks Steve
I didn’t sand, I just knocked down any high points and globs of mud in between coats
On my wall the adhesive is slightly sticking out past the wall in some spots. Should that just be sanded or? Thanks
Hey, this was actually the same for this wall. I knocked off some higher points, but then just skim coated the rest, that’s why I go over it a few times and feather it out a bit onto wall
Very helpful video. I'm dealing with tile residue in my bathroom as well. Just to clarify, once you finished the skim coats did you then reapply fresh drywall over top?
Hi madalyn, nope! No new drywall, I just skim coated it multiple times until it was smooth enough to paint. A bit of a process but in this situation it saves time and money
Hi Great Job, would you know if this method, would be compatible with putting up tub surround panels. People at hardware store don't think the Tub Surround glue(Lepages) would stick to the walls
Good question!
It’s a glue on tin surround then? You could probably avoid the skim coat priming altogether and if you’ve removed the old tile and it’s left behind residue, you could probably apply new glue directly onto that.
Hard to know without looking at what your situation is though.
I would be confident with using my method for a tub surround, as long as you let the primer cure properly before apply the tub surround.
Another, and better, option is tearing it out and applying new moisture resistant drywall or even better, denshield. Might seem like a lot of work but it could be quicker in the long run
That was brilliant! You just saved me a ton of work. 👍
Can u do this 2 popcorn ceiling ( another ugly idea)
Hi,
Good question, I have done it before but sometimes it depends on the popcorn, if it’s raw (unpainted/primed) and you try and skim coat it it might not adhere, but if it is painted you should be able to just skim coat over it.
Another option I do sometimes is add 1/2” drywall, depending on the situation
Can we prime and skim coat on top of wood panel to install backsplash. Please let me know.
Oh good question. I would be hesitant to do that, because the wood paneling won't be structural secure. Best to remove it and install a sturdier backer, such as drywall.
Depends a bit on the situation.
Good luck!
Thank you! Still one more question. The wood panel is made of Knoty pine wood and is part of wall structure of the house. Looks pretty sturdy. It’s a post and beam house. Do you still suggest going for cement board or hardie board. Appreciate your suggestions.
Can you tile over this again in the future?
Yep!
Would this work on plaster walls with tile adhesive?
It should! The key is a good primer that can adhere to latex and oil based adhesives
Did you just feather upper edges (on the half wall areas)so there's no notable bulges?
Yep! That’s exactly what I did, the glue only stuck out about a 16th, so it wasn’t to bad to feather out
@@zackcrafted thank you for the quick response. I am so glad I found your video. I was beginning to despair after the removal of the paneling and having all the adhesive left behind. I didn't want to have to cut out the drywall etc.
@@GM-zu8fp I'm glad it was helpful! Its a good way to save time and mess, the skim coating can be a bit tricky but thin, tight, coats is the way to go ;)
Thanks for watching and good luck!
Stupid voice text what manufacturer it was sorry great video by the way
Hey Pietro, it was lite 90 plus by Certainteed, which lowes carries. There are a few other options for quick drying mud compounds too you can check out
Thanks for watching!
Thanks Zack I appreciate it and yeah I do watch you on a regular basis just to novice learning and I do appreciate your videos
