I have the same exact problem in my upstairs hallway and one of the bedrooms...Going to trying this method (Seems like they did a shitty job at taping when the house was built - all around) - Thank you sir..
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?
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
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
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.
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 ?
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.
if you don't soak the tape then the dry tape will suck the the humidity from the mud, after a while the mud will not be strong it will be kind of like powder, (mud ,concrete ..., it is better to let it dry normally it won't be strong ) thanks for watching

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.
Now all the ceilings details are missing and you notice where he put a large tape on the ceiling it's not better than before, large tape ain't good for that type of repair..

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.
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
@@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.

Thanks very much for sharing. A very helpful video for a novice DIY like me.
Thank you for watching.
Thank you for being so through. I think I can do this.
You can do it!
I have the exact same problem, just the video I needed, great job 👍🏽
Cool, thanks for watching
Very good idea, thanks.
So nice of you
Ik heb hetzelfde probleem, Ik zal het nu gemakkelijk oplossen, bedankt.
thanks
thank you for taking the time to answer questions in the comments, clarified why to use tape and not caulk etc. much appreciated knowledge, subbed
You are so welcome!
Thanks so great solution
Happy to help
Sehr gute Arbeit
thanks
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?
I imagine it's because the caulk will peel from the plaster
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 .

Paper tape is better for corners.
It would be great if you could leave (perhaps in the description) a list of tools you've used, otherwise, great video many thanks! :)
you are right, thanks for watching
Marvelous
Great ideas
Glad you think so!
me gusta tu video, tengo el mismo problema,, I like your video, and I have the same problem with shrinking caulking
Thanks for watching!
What dry mud did you used mate?
drywall mud.
Thank you very useful what kind of mud is it?
drywall mud
He probably used 20- or 45- minute quickset mud, which allows multiple coats in one day.
Super
Thanks
I have these all over my house. This process looks pretty tedious guess I got alot of work to do lol
👍
WOW
Top
I’d suggest priming the repair with PVA before painting.
Good stuff!
Thanks!
Hi great video you mud not sure in England we call it .
thank you for watching, wallboard joint compound, it's kind of gypsum it has a longer time to dry.
Really you are great 👍
Great
how do you fix the texturing of the wall/ceiling when you do this so it doesn't stick out like oops this was damage and is now fixed?
You fill crack with mud, and then caulk over the mud. Then you don't have this issue of texture match
Nice
What type material is the tape? I suppose we can't just use a simple sheet of paper?? :)
drywall tape, check it online(not Mesh Drywall Tape)
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
Thanks for watching.
How long to leave the tape in water before use?
1 min
I learned years ago to wet the tape to avoid air bubbles. Too bad I didn't have TH-cam in 1974 when I built my first house.
Does the tape mold itself to the texture on the ceiling?
should be flat down of the tape to stick well , scrape the texture using paint knife (make narrow line)
Scrape the asbestos off?
I caulk with flexible caulk, and it keeps happening. Could this be a foundation issue?
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.
How did u make that design on ur ceiling? Can u pls let me know. Ty
Use a mop 😅
What do you do with the tape that’s on the ceiling
cover it with mud
👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
Is this normal? Is this something i should worry about?
It's normal not something you should worry about< it's kind of like make up
No more cracked after fixing them?
sure
👍👍👍👍👍
didnt show what to do about ceiling texture.
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.
none of my customers would pay me for screwing up their ceiling texture

Why this crack
happen?
Because the vibrations when walking or leaning against the wall.
Should use hot mud instead of all purpose.

Please don’t soak paper tape in water. It’s proven to be a problem

you didn't fix the ceiling where you wiped away the texture???

Are you serious…lol this guy is making a mess! If you have a crack in an angle…..caulk it! When you have a heavy texture.

Can you use spackle instead of drywall mud?
spackle works fine on flat areas but you have to use drywall mud on joints.
@samershammers why?
