    Do you let the dry wall tape dry before you apply first seal of mud or do you apply while tape is still damp.

    Yeah! Thats a good one. You communicate more wordlessly. I do have a stupid question. Why not caulk. I have a lot of the same looking gaps but next to windows, same thing? Can I use mesh tape instead?

    • @Aspire198
      @Aspire198 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I imagine it's because the caulk will peel from the plaster

    • @samershammers
      @samershammers  ปีที่แล้ว +5

      you can use the caulk if you have a small crack between the drywall and diferent materials (around the windows or doors) but between the wall and ceiling you have to do same way using tape with drywall mud, if you don't use drywall tape will crack again after few days, (the wall and ceiling will shake when we walk or lien on it .
      if you use this way it will get fixed permanently

      I have a small little scene between the ceiling and the wall what can I use to just cover the scene you did not indicate what you were using to cover that seemed between the ceiling and the wall what are you using can you use caulking what can you use mine is just a small little pain seen

    I caulk with flexible caulk, and it keeps happening. Could this be a foundation issue?

    • @samershammers
      @samershammers  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      No it's not foundation issue keep happening because the vibration when someone walks or leans against the wall. If you use the tape it would not happen again.

    Can you use spackle instead of drywall mud?

    • @samershammers

      spackle works fine on flat areas but you have to use drywall mud on joints.

    Applying drywall mud to the edges to make it flush and then the sanding part towards the end are you doing that about twice? It looks like you did it twice but the 2nd time you didn’t add any instructions. Just making sure but this looks good

      should be flat down of the tape to stick well , scrape the texture using paint knife (make narrow line)

      @samershammers  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      First thank you for watching, if you take a look at the ceiling in every home it already has a small gap on the ceiling between the ceiling texture and the wall you can work on this gap without damaging the texture, you have to take into account every joint in any home has this tape between ceiling and wall or between two walls, without this tape this crack will keep happening because the vibrations, like when someone walks or lean against the wall.

    Amateur Question : Don't you need to prime the fresh drywall mud before painting, otherwise it will suck the moisture from the paint, which will then flake off ?

    • @brandonbdl
      @brandonbdl 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      No , if you use decent paint it doesn't NEED to be primed. However paint doesn't seal the wall as well as primer, 1 coat of primer and 1 coat of paint will look better, and feel better then 2 or 3 coats of only paint.

      No gap that wide. I just figured you would try to blend in or retexture the area you wiped away.
      There has to be a way to repair that isn’t so obvious.

      First thank you for watching, The caulk never fix the problem, the crack will happen again (vibration) when walk or lean against the wall, do you know all the wall in your home has this joint tape without this tape you will see the cracks in every joint. About the ceiling texture issue if you take a look at the ceiling at your home you will see a gap between the ceiling texture and the wall. its enough to put the tape on it.

    • @loreec90
      @loreec90 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      You did not put in screws , you aren’t going to stop movement with mud and tape. Caulking is flexible and if that doesn’t work, check the foundation you may have bigger problems. You don’t need to soak the tape…it stretches more and easier to get wrinkles

    • @samershammers
      @samershammers  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      @@loreec90 I didn't mean movement, if you have movement you should use screws to fixe it before do anything , I meant vibrations (walking or leaning on walls) This tape is used in new homes(walls are stable and strong) without this tape will see cracks in every joint, In concrete houses, there is no need to use such a tape because it does not move, it is not like wooden houses when some one walk in first floor You feel his steps throughout the house, Simply, I did not invent anything , I installed something it was missing or broken or defect during construction, thanks for watching.
