If you push a little harder with the roller, your angles will really turn out good with bigger to smaller. In other words, inbed the tape more before flushing.
Hey Doc, I'm with you - I'm running my 2 1/2" for glazing and my 3 1/2" for the finish skim. Besides less sanding on the edges, I've had issues with the 3 1/2" head grabbing tape from my butts and flats before it has had a chance to fully adhere to the walls. I do like the way that the 3 1/2" head skims out though - beautiful. You did have me scratching my head for a while there though... Cheers sir!
VIEWER REQUEST: Okay, maybe this viewer request is stupid but - cleaning tools. How clean is worth the work? Do you clean the handles or just chip them down when they get too fat? Is there a trick to a quick easy cleaning? Okay, even more important.. . how much drywall mud can you safely wash down a drain? Is it okay to wash it down once it's dry little chunks but not when it's still wet? Is it okay to wash a little down but not too much? Is it okay if you chase it with enough water to flush it through? In the summer I wash everything outside with the hose set to highest pressure but it is winter now (well below freezing) so that solution isn't an option. Should I be religious about washing everything in a bucket and dumping the bucket outside?
I too have tried it 3.5 then 2.5. Was told they are designed to work that way but I ran into problems. Scaring and scratching mostly. Went back to the way that makes sence to me. Maybe I did something wrong I don't know. Just gonna stick with what works (for me).
😂 Ames Tool Company was the *original taping tool company and the original instructions to angle taping was use the 3" head on taping skimmer and run the 2" on the finish coat ... this shocks me anyone did it backwards and i cant imagine using the smaller head on tape coat 😇🤔
@@THEDRYWALLDOCTOR1 In in Australia and have learnt a huge amount from you and am very grateful.. We are way behind here in Australia.. I just ordered a mudrunner ( thanks to you). I need to order an angle head.. In thinking the drywall master bonehead 3". Many many many reviews say they are not set up from factory but you are the first person who has said that yours was.. Where did you buy from and can you help me please get one all ready set up ?? Kind regards. Daz
lol thats always done my head in setting them up, Columbia will tell you to give it rock tapetech say no rock and push the end of the blade out more, you would think someone has made a on site vid by now on this it can be very frustrating, plus those tiny lil allen key studs are so easy to round off
Drywall doctor: Totally different topic but what types of air compressors are good for spraying knockdown/orange peel. Or any type of texture? I don't really want to spend almost $800 for the Marshalltown one
Must be tough, because in 35 yrs I rarely see square anything in a house...new or remodel, it just doesn't happen that often....too many variables and especially when dealing with wood framing......commercial with steel studs probably more consistent.....from framing to setting cabinets its hard to find true af square walls floor to ceiling I am sure angle heads have few degrees of play which helps I hung crown moulding for along time and it was odd to find true 90 degree walls....we have tricks and acct for it but if everything was true, plumb and square construction would be easy (like the TV shows. Lol)
The other thing if your up to change go with a Columbia angle box they have a no swell gasket system and they push so easy I have had mine for 3 years now still pushes the same I will never go back to tape tech
I have the 3.5 tape tech angle head. I'm buying a roller and handle. Which one do you recommend? Should I buy a smaller angle head and if so which size to glaze? Thanks.
Hello God bless.sr i am a painter but i want to start to do drywall jobs.sr i got a question its the brand level 5 tappings tools good for to do drywall jobs?.i am thinking buy these tools for to start.thanks
You're like me you'll try anything and the reason I'll try anything is because I used to be an auto technician and I'm mechanically inclined so I'll try it all
Hi mate, what are you putting the tape on with? A banjo? Are you using a roller? Ive got an 3.5 angle head on an internal angle box, would this work with your new method for the first glazing coat?
I use alpa tech Air powered systems and I’m able to run thicker mud than I have with any other tool effortlessly. I also own I tape tech angle box and a mud runner
I’m a big advocate of this guy! He deserves half a million subscribers
👍👍👍

Show one video how calibrate the boxes and angle head
I’m so glad you changed back, it drives me crazy to think of doing a smaller blade or head coat after a bigger one. 🙂
you should do 2 inch for tapping, 3.5 inch for finishing . You have great day.

Can you show all these tools in action. As a remodeler, i'm always trying to learn better ways to do this stuff. Thanks.
Have you ever thought about about doing a multi day drywall academy? I bet it’d be a big hit.
I use drywall master I use 2 1/2 then a 3

Yeah it didn't work. Told along time ago if it works don't fix it.
Does it make much of a difference taking the wheels off?
I don't think so
@@THEDRYWALLDOCTOR1 but it does run the same? Like still as easy to push exc...? I think I'll just try it haha

I do 2 1/2 3. 3.5
Also, you have to adjust your blades on your dm boneheads. They are not calibrated from the factory to you.
Mine were. They're shop is just minutes from me.

Do you strip the edges when it's still wet or next day? We do it the day after. I might get a 2.5 to try this one day.thanks man👍
Same day but after it's dried up a little
@@THEDRYWALLDOCTOR1 I tried it that way today but I end up leaving little lines sometimes .maybe need a knife with more flew or wait a bit longer
It does really help when your knife has more Flex and sometimes if the job is small I can't do it the same day it's just to wet
"This is not an angle head" as he moves the tin snips out of the view. 😂😂
can you do a video about how to adjust the anglehead?
lol thats always done my head in setting them up, Columbia will tell you to give it rock tapetech say no rock and push the end of the blade out more, you would think someone has made a on site vid by now on this it can be very frustrating, plus those tiny lil allen key studs are so easy to round off
It seems to me that if one was to use the smaller head for the fill coat that it would leave scratch’s in the wider mud tape coat
Yeah, I tried the same thing with the same results.
Drywall doctor:

I am sure angle heads have few degrees of play which helps

Eres un poco loco pero trabajas muy bien good jod very good tools and very practical what is the price of all the equipment you use
Mr ray do you star out your corners so that when u running the angle head into the corner it doesn’t dig out the wet mud from the other sides
Personally better finish going up than down always can learn something new. Usually tape with two finish with 3.5.

If you can get parts easy and your getting them at a good price get them. I can only recommend Drywall Master and Tape tech tools.

Hey doc. How much do you guys charge per sq ft to finish out in michigan?
I'm not from Michigan I really don't know what the prices are there 40 - 50 cent
Have you ever tried the same inverted sequence with flat boxes?
No I did 7box and then 10box when +3 first came out but it crowned all the seams.
Who are the 3.5 and 2.5 heads made by?
Im in commercial drywall and have always taped by hand. I realize what a game changer tools are.
Drywall master they make very good tools
subscribed.....this guy is a pro!
I use a 4´´ flusher the cheap one. And i finish with a 3´´ angle head. And fix when its dry with a skim with my knifs Its good for 3ways. More mud
Cmon man… It’s always from smaller to larger don’t be ridiculous I want to know what’s the better brand?
Between drywall master and tapetech I think those are your two top of the line angle head
So 2.5 Drywall Master to glaze after embedding tape ? Just need an extension pole with the adapter?
Hi mate, what are you putting the tape on with? A banjo? Are you using a roller? Ive got an 3.5 angle head on an internal angle box, would this work with your new method for the first glazing coat?
With apla tech you have to soup your Mudd ... But I still love the Mudd runner for small jobs
But damn for years I pushed that angle box and omg my neck my shoulder my elbow lol
I use alpa tech Air powered systems and I’m able to run thicker mud than I have with any other tool effortlessly. I also own I tape tech angle box and a mud runner
@@joshuahagan9739 nice
I just apply and flush, separately and i'm pretty quick
I have a tape tech angle head that does the same thing with the spring
Hello
On your next video, please have someone to record your videos for you. Too much movements.
Peace
Soon I still have two left but don't have a camera guy.
I used a 3” then the 2.5” to skim.
Lul
I’ve skimmed with the smaller angle head for years! Works great!
great channel and thanks for the sub
Lets see ya pick a corner?

It used to be taboo to put green boards on ceilings, but all green boards now are mold tough and that they say is OK
