I keep struggling with finishing walls for ages and in a video before yours I learned guys make from $21 to $52 an hour in this trade. Now knowing how much money I am saving lessens my pain a lot
Diy here- ive found mesh works great for large gaps or cracks. But ive also used it for repairs and it just takes the primer app and waiting to finish application next day. Just took a load bearing wall down and the gaps after drywall placement worked really well. (Layers on layers) I bought the wrong mud (finish) and was wondering why “hot mud” is the finishing while the patch mud is different. (My painter just said it just is) My painter fixed the low/high points from the wall removed between the two rooms; and frankly thats why i pay him for his experience and application of craft. Mic sounds good- and info on point. Thx kilt and keep em coming
I found your video very helpful as I have recently found out about fibafuse tape. Oddly, my local DIY stores (I am in UK) don't sell fibafuse (just paper and fiber mesh) but I managed to get some from Ebay. I shall be attempting to use it soon and now I feel far more confident with your excellent tuition, so thanks again.
Hey my daughter’s bday is June 21 too! I just want to thank u for all your videos. We r purchasing a fixer upper and we have been bingeing all your videos!
Great video as usual! We use FIbaFuse on occasion and do like it in certain situations. I was taping a ceiling in a darkened room and using work lights. As I was taping a joint, I noticed that there was a ton of fiber particles falling into the air and floating around. It was enough to scare me into never using the stuff without a mask on. Quick Tip: to keep the FibaFuse from unrolling after use, stick a heavy staple (or something similar) into the end of the tape to hold in place. Just push straight into the roll. Thanks again for all the great content!
I've been using paper and even though there are pitfalls, the results have been good. Mesh is wonderful, but not for corners, this Fiba Fuse had me crying like a baby! Pushing it into the mud would contaminate the mud with fibers from the tape to the point I had to just scrape the excess off into the trash can, rather than back into the tray. Don't think I've cussed so much since my Coast Guard days. Unfortunately, I was using a new knife that I hadn't yet sanded the sharp edges of the blade down, causing too much scraping action on the tape. I'm hesitant to continue using it but I do appreciate the mud saturation avoiding air bubbles. Thanks for posting this!
If paper tape had a front/back side, then the manufacturer would print it on the material. Such as other products where it says "this side out" or "back towards wall", etc. The crease is there for convenience for corners in order to get a superior finish. From experience of DIY repairs I find it works well either way. The amount of mud behind the tape is what counts.

Hi Kilted Guy , HELP:::::::👇🏻 I’ve got a big problem in my master bathroom, the popcorn ceiling was painted with high gloss paint and some of the screws are popping out. WHAT PRODUCT CAN I USE TO SKIM COAT THE CEILING 1. To fix the holes and 2. TO SKIM COAT THE WHOLE BATHROOM CEILING TO HIDE THE POPCORN ON CEILING?
For corners I will use paper, but I used to be old school and put paper on everything. Then I started using mesh tape for everything but corners. Now I use Fibafuse and paper only. If they made Fibafuse for corners I'd love to try it. Honestly mesh tape is only good for patches, but I'd be willing to try Fibafuse for that, but it's not self adhesive. But paper tape is still awesome, it's just temperamental as he basically said.
First and foremost. Thank you for your service. Retired Army here. As for the Mic, Great sound and no distortion. I'm looking for a vid that actually is filling a joint and holes. I've had to cut out walls to replace faucets and drains. A solid wall is sort of like just painting. Nor working the mud to keep from blistering. I am not a pro drywall guy at all. I turn wrenches. I even have a few holes in the drywall in the garage from a "dammit-wrench" Keep up the good work.
Hello and thank you for your service as well. Here’s a playlist of repair videos and there’s probably several in there that will help you. Drywall Repair How To Series, from large to small drywall holes & more. th-cam.com/play/PLCrazHylAOEmgaS622xokiefd_jIRMrow.html
I see your channel name, do you have a hot rod? I’m going to be starting a second channel soon where I work on my two hot rods and do some woodworking.
@@ThatKiltedGuyDIY i have had quite a few musclecars, now I'm more late model. 94 Impala SS, 2001 Camaro, but rebuilding a 79 K10 for my daughter. I'm a tech at a GM dealer so i stay busy with cars. I look forward to your other pages.
Well I currently own a 1927 model T with a 440 Dodge motor in it and a Ford 9 inch rear end that is really cool and almost done and a 1954 Chevy truck five window that needs everything again. I’ve had them both over 30 years. But I love the new Corvettes and muscle cars and my dream car is the new C8 Z06 and if not that the C7 ZR1 so I’ll be covering that kind of stuff on my new channel one day. I remember when the impala SS came out and I loved it. I’d also like to own a Cadillac CTSV as I love the fact that you can have luxury and super fast car at the same time.
Fantastic video as always, Guy! The most credible and educational information on the topic. I've been watching all your content lately, and really enjoying it. I've done my own drywall work for the last 3-4 decades, and done a decent job, but your videos have taught me how to up my game, and explain where I've gone wrong, and how to avoid issues, so I greatly appreciate all that you do! All the best to you and your channel... it's well-deserved and you're well on your way to 100K in no time!
I started out 20 years ago using the mesh tape. It's easy to use, but it always cracks after a couple years (yes, even using hot mud). Properly applied paper tape is always the best option. I look forward to trying the fibafuse!
I first did drywall for a living in the late 70s and for the last 20 years I have specialized in nothing but repairs and applied over 500 rolls of mesh tape with no callbacks. There’s more to it than just hot mud and mesh tape. Have even gone back to many jobs years later and they still hadn’t cracked. One job I even repaired over 90 feet of cracks with mesh tape and four years later they were all still fine. But it’s probably best for people who understand how to make it work. The other Joint tapes are better for everyone in general. Good luck
@@ThatKiltedGuyDIY I love your content, and I agree with a lot of your methods, as I am a current drywall finishing contractor. However, you are wrong about mesh tape. This is why professional finishers never use it. It doesn't matter if you've been doing something for 100 years, if you've been doing it wrong the whole time.
If it has never failed me in 20 years, I must be doing something Better than Those who it's failing with. I know without any doubt. that It does not fail when done correctly. When it fails, someone did it wrong. there's no way i could have installed that much and not had a failure if that were not true. But use what works for you.
Fibafuse used to have a "thin spot" running down the middle that made it easier to crease and put into corners, but it was even easier to cut by mistake than what was shown here. (the graphic you showed of the close up of the Fibafuse shows the thin spot, but I don't think they make that version any longer, but they didn't change the part#) If you use Fibafuse for inside corners, an inside corner roller is a must to eliminate the chance of cutting the tape with a knife. I use it in a banjo with medium thin 90 minute hot mud for the flats and inside corners. I haven't had a chance to try the heavy duty (blue) version yet.
This is exactly what I was looking for. I have a job starting this week and just picked up a banjo. Initially was going to use mesh tape and 90 but after finally making the leap was unsure of throwing 90 in the banjo. Thanks mate
The equipment is not giving you issue with sound quality. Overall very good very video and thank you again for demonstrating the different types of tapes to uses on dry wall.
FibaFuse is strong AF. Great product! 2 disadvantages: 1) the itchiness caused by the tape is disturbing; 2) in my country is costing 20% more than paper tape; But I'm still an enthusiast of FibaFuse, I'm pretty much using machinery like bazooka and flushers so the risk of tearing the tape is very low. BTW your sound set is perfect and you're the best on TH-cam! That's us my friend! Take care and thank you for the videos!
Thank you for sharing your expertise...I came to the point where I had to scrape my popcorn ceiling in the dining room due to previous water damage. My husband was excellent at this but I lost him a couple of years ago, so I'm on my own with the hands on. I'm to the point where I need to start fixing joints and sanding. You have some great tips...I'll let you know how this goes. In the meantime, if you have any more specific tips for places on the ceiling where I had to remove paper tape in sections and it left a deeper amount to fill in. Do I need to do any prep work for those areas?
Wondering what your opinion is on a tip I heard from a drywaller, " Lightly sand down the sharp edge on the side of the drywall knife so it doesn't rip the tap when doing inside corners." Great videos!!!
I learned the hard way that the fibafuse tape does not work in corners. Like you said, it won't easily bend and wants to flix back to flat. And 2, your knife will easily cut the tape and you may not notice it happen until its dry and too late. With it embedded throughout the tape, it won't come off. I had to redo all the corners with paper on top of the fibafuse. IMO, there should be a red warning on the tape, "not for corners". However, I think it's great for the flats.

Some time ago I finished my basement and used paper tape. Had a problem with the occasional blister, but thought it was due to super low humidity (Colorado Springs = semi-arid and high altitude), by the time I got mud top-to-bottom in the corner and tried to apply the tape, the mud had started to dry. I discovered I could spritz the tape with water in a spray bottle and that fixed my problem. So why hot mix for the yellow self-stick? So it doesn't shrink in the seam under the tape? At least for me I don't have to worry about drying time with the regular premix. I could work continuously in a single room. By the time I got around, the mud at the start was fully dry and I could keep working. Anyway, I got a roll of the paper, and a roll of the yellow self-stick left from past projects. And I've got a basement to finish this summer. Maybe I'll do the paper and dilute my mud a bit. Should be fun. I was leveling a wooden floor and tried latex mud. WOW that took a long time to dry, like over 24 hours. And it was hell to sand as the setup product was rubbery. Ended up peeling up and using thin coats of regular mud alternating with coats of pigment-free latex primer (penetrates better than paint). The primer would soak through the dry mud and bond it to the layer below, and waterproof it. And where I needed more thickness I added layers of the yellow self-stick. Then linoleum over the top. Worked great.
Guy. The Vancouver conference or just feature the video the Vancouver Carpenter just featured a video that has tapeless mud; have you ever heard of this? In other words, the mud has a substance, a solid in it that makes Taping completely unnecessary; this is amazing if it works; what is your professional opinion please?
Thank you for the link, wish I had seen this before I had started but I already used a vinyl bead on one corner. Looks like I'll be heading to the local wallboard company. As a DIY'er who doesn't have a lot of drywall expertise or tools, the biggest problem was learning the proper consistency of hot mud. I probably still don't have it right yet but close enough for government work.
A general rule of thumb is that for taping we use a little bit thinner, and for the first coat a little bit thicker, and then each successive coat gets slightly thinner but never so thin that it wants to drip off your knife constantly.
The problem with the mesh tape is it will crack. Especially on a 1st story ceiling with an upstairs above it. In my garage u used mesh tape then put fiberfuse on top to test to see if it would hold up. It hard to fix the cracks that appear on a finished ceiling after they are painted.
Another disadvantage of FibaFuse is that it can clog up a bazooka on a bigger job. Those fiberglass splinters can be pretty devastating, too. Being able to see your potential blisters, though, is a huge advantage. Tip: To remove fiberglass particles (from insulation mostly) from your clothes and/or skin, 'reverse roll' a piece of masking/painter's/duct tape around one hand and roll it over the affected area. Now you don't have to wait 2-3 wash cycles to get that itch outcha shirts!
@@advanceg2116 Yeah...as TKG mentioned, use it for hand-taping flats. Paper's best for inside corners. Just make sure you have thin enough mud (not drippy, though) and get the mud smashed into the corner and cover/coat EVERY LAST INCH of both sides of a corner before applying the tape. Also, crease the tape *slightly* before putting it on the corner AND slide the flat edge of your knife down the corner of the tape to set it into the corner better before wiping it down.
I prefer regular weight all purpose for taping as it has more adhesive. But in a pinch I’ll use +3 with a squirt of Drywall mud glue or just some wood glue.
Hi Kilted Guy , HELP:::::::👇🏻🛀‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️ I’ve got a big problem in my master bathroom, the popcorn ceiling was painted with high gloss paint and some of the screws are popping out. WHAT PRODUCT CAN I USE TO SKIM COAT THE CEILING 1. To fix the holes and 2. TO SKIM COAT THE WHOLE BATHROOM CEILING TO HIDE THE POPCORN ON CEILING?
In summary, I should use paper tape in corners. Fiber in the field on walls. Mesh on ceilings because novices are so slow getting mud up while on a ladder. My guess for an amateur like me? I can't wait to try doing this its gonna be messy:)
Wait a minute. You dont do inside corners with crease outwards, do you? As for sticking or right or wrong. The paper tape is the same material all the way through. One side will not adhere better than the other. But I would think that burying that 32nd of an inch paper hump will take more work than not having to bury it.
I prefer paper for factory joints and corners, love Fiba Fuse for butt joints and repairing bad mesh tape jobs (my house is full of additions with mesh tape over empty joints aka no prefill). They even used mesh for corners 😩 I use mesh for patches, that's about it. But I always prefill. Mesh isn't bad, just use some common sense.
I think we can do that one day but I’ve got way too much on my plate right now and have to stay focused on what I’m doing. I just now got back to being able to put out good videos and I want to move into a new home or at least start looking for one in two or three months at the most.
Paper for new construction due to the speed, and mesh tape for repairs again due to the speed and the fact that after putting on over 500 rolls of mesh tape I’ve not had callbacks.
@@ThatKiltedGuyDIY Sorry. I was referring to the comments. For smaller tape jobs, I prefer to mud the 'back' side of the tape before sticking it on the wall.
You still have to use fast setting joint compound. I know this for a fact but believe what you want or go read the manufacturers website. How you apply it has little to do with whether it’s more prone to crack. The material has everything to do with it
I like the way u explain it to us weekend warrior types that do not do this for a living without making us feel like idiots.

Hi Kilted Guy , HELP:::::::👇🏻
I’ve got a big problem in my master bathroom, the popcorn ceiling was painted with high gloss paint and some of the screws are popping out. WHAT PRODUCT CAN I USE TO SKIM COAT THE CEILING 1. To fix the holes and 2. TO SKIM COAT THE WHOLE BATHROOM CEILING TO HIDE THE POPCORN ON CEILING?
Sounds good 👍.
Thanks And thanks for subscribing. Guy
One more advantage of fibafuse is that when you sand down to much it will not show signs of torn paper which you have to redo all over with mud
For corners I will use paper, but I used to be old school and put paper on everything. Then I started using mesh tape for everything but corners. Now I use Fibafuse and paper only. If they made Fibafuse for corners I'd love to try it.
Honestly mesh tape is only good for patches, but I'd be willing to try Fibafuse for that, but it's not self adhesive.
But paper tape is still awesome, it's just temperamental as he basically said.
Sound great and information meaningful. Thank you.
Hope You have a great B-Day in June...Great teachings Maestro!! You are a great educator.
Thank you sir. Guy
Mic is good. thanks for tips with this. I struggle with the one with the squares ill neve use it again.
First and foremost. Thank you for your service. Retired Army here.
As for the Mic, Great sound and no distortion.
I'm looking for a vid that actually is filling a joint and holes. I've had to cut out walls to replace faucets and drains. A solid wall is sort of like just painting. Nor working the mud to keep from blistering. I am not a pro drywall guy at all. I turn wrenches. I even have a few holes in the drywall in the garage from a "dammit-wrench" Keep up the good work.
Hello and thank you for your service as well. Here’s a playlist of repair videos and there’s probably several in there that will help you.

I see your channel name, do you have a hot rod? I’m going to be starting a second channel soon where I work on my two hot rods and do some woodworking.
@@ThatKiltedGuyDIY i have had quite a few musclecars, now I'm more late model. 94 Impala SS, 2001 Camaro, but rebuilding a 79 K10 for my daughter. I'm a tech at a GM dealer so i stay busy with cars. I look forward to your other pages.
Well I currently own a 1927 model T with a 440 Dodge motor in it and a Ford 9 inch rear end that is really cool and almost done and a 1954 Chevy truck five window that needs everything again. I’ve had them both over 30 years. But I love the new Corvettes and muscle cars and my dream car is the new C8 Z06 and if not that the C7 ZR1 so I’ll be covering that kind of stuff on my new channel one day. I remember when the impala SS came out and I loved it. I’d also like to own a Cadillac CTSV as I love the fact that you can have luxury and super fast car at the same time.
Fantastic video as always, Guy! The most credible and educational information on the topic. I've been watching all your content lately, and really enjoying it. I've done my own drywall work for the last 3-4 decades, and done a decent job, but your videos have taught me how to up my game, and explain where I've gone wrong, and how to avoid issues, so I greatly appreciate all that you do! All the best to you and your channel... it's well-deserved and you're well on your way to 100K in no time!
Thank you sir. I appreciate it. Guy
I started out 20 years ago using the mesh tape. It's easy to use, but it always cracks after a couple years (yes, even using hot mud). Properly applied paper tape is always the best option. I look forward to trying the fibafuse!
I first did drywall for a living in the late 70s and for the last 20 years I have specialized in nothing but repairs and applied over 500 rolls of mesh tape with no callbacks. There’s more to it than just hot mud and mesh tape. Have even gone back to many jobs years later and they still hadn’t cracked. One job I even repaired over 90 feet of cracks with mesh tape and four years later they were all still fine. But it’s probably best for people who understand how to make it work. The other Joint tapes are better for everyone in general. Good luck
@@ThatKiltedGuyDIY I love your content, and I agree with a lot of your methods, as I am a current drywall finishing contractor. However, you are wrong about mesh tape. This is why professional finishers never use it. It doesn't matter if you've been doing something for 100 years, if you've been doing it wrong the whole time.
If it has never failed me in 20 years, I must be doing something Better than Those who it's failing with. I know without any doubt. that It does not fail when done correctly. When it fails, someone did it wrong. there's no way i could have installed that much and not had a failure if that were not true. But use what works for you.
Fibafuse used to have a "thin spot" running down the middle that made it easier to crease and put into corners, but it was even easier to cut by mistake than what was shown here. (the graphic you showed of the close up of the Fibafuse shows the thin spot, but I don't think they make that version any longer, but they didn't change the part#) If you use Fibafuse for inside corners, an inside corner roller is a must to eliminate the chance of cutting the tape with a knife. I use it in a banjo with medium thin 90 minute hot mud for the flats and inside corners. I haven't had a chance to try the heavy duty (blue) version yet.
This is exactly what I was looking for. I have a job starting this week and just picked up a banjo. Initially was going to use mesh tape and 90 but after finally making the leap was unsure of throwing 90 in the banjo. Thanks mate
Also got the 90 corner roller . So super excited
🤣🤣 the microphone test was hilarious

Good video, good explanation.
Guy. Thanks for the great video.
Your microphone sounds good 👍
Thanks
The equipment is not giving you issue with sound quality. Overall very good very video and thank you again for demonstrating the different types of tapes to uses on dry wall.
You sound fantastic!
Great video! Thank you!
Thanks, glad I could help you out 😎. And thanks for subscribing!
FibaFuse is strong AF.
Great product!
2 disadvantages:
1) the itchiness caused by the tape is disturbing;
2) in my country is costing 20% more than paper tape;
But I'm still an enthusiast of FibaFuse, I'm pretty much using machinery like bazooka and flushers so the risk of tearing the tape is very low.
BTW your sound set is perfect and you're the best on TH-cam! That's us my friend! Take care and thank you for the videos!
Thanks for the input. Guy
The mic works perfectly
That microphone sounds very good!!
Thanks 😊
Congratulations sir. You already crossed 100k. Say 150k subscribers target in your next video. Good luck.
Thank you for sharing your expertise...I came to the point where I had to scrape my popcorn ceiling in the dining room due to previous water damage. My husband was excellent at this but I lost him a couple of years ago, so I'm on my own with the hands on. I'm to the point where I need to start fixing joints and sanding. You have some great tips...I'll let you know how this goes.
In the meantime, if you have any more specific tips for places on the ceiling where I had to remove paper tape in sections and it left a deeper amount to fill in. Do I need to do any prep work for those areas?
Search for the term “torn brown paper, that kilted guy“ and you’ll find videos on that. Thanks
Always good information thank you
Could here you just fine and I bought a roll of that Fibreglass tape to try in the next week or two.
Thanks for letting me know.
Wondering what your opinion is on a tip I heard from a drywaller, " Lightly sand down the sharp edge on the side of the drywall knife so it doesn't rip the tap when doing inside corners." Great videos!!!
If it’s super sharp yes lightly dull it. Mine are dull from use mostly
I absolutely love fibafuse
Sound was great.
Finally. My last 2 or 3 videos had issues.
I learned the hard way that the fibafuse tape does not work in corners. Like you said, it won't easily bend and wants to flix back to flat. And 2, your knife will easily cut the tape and you may not notice it happen until its dry and too late. With it embedded throughout the tape, it won't come off. I had to redo all the corners with paper on top of the fibafuse. IMO, there should be a red warning on the tape, "not for corners". However, I think it's great for the flats.

When patching moderate holes 1 foot square on texture ceilings what's the best way to keep a fairly clean joint??? Thank you...
Use a wide knife and only put on just enough to cover the repair and extend the mud about 10" wider than the repair.
Sounds good thanks for sharing
Mic is perfect
Thanks
Thanks for the video! Can you use hot mud with the Fibafuse?
Yes
Thought for a moment it was a Biden DIY show. By the way, u sound great and thanks for the useful tips.
Some time ago I finished my basement and used paper tape. Had a problem with the occasional blister, but thought it was due to super low humidity (Colorado Springs = semi-arid and high altitude), by the time I got mud top-to-bottom in the corner and tried to apply the tape, the mud had started to dry. I discovered I could spritz the tape with water in a spray bottle and that fixed my problem.
So why hot mix for the yellow self-stick? So it doesn't shrink in the seam under the tape? At least for me I don't have to worry about drying time with the regular premix. I could work continuously in a single room. By the time I got around, the mud at the start was fully dry and I could keep working.
Anyway, I got a roll of the paper, and a roll of the yellow self-stick left from past projects. And I've got a basement to finish this summer. Maybe I'll do the paper and dilute my mud a bit. Should be fun.
I was leveling a wooden floor and tried latex mud. WOW that took a long time to dry, like over 24 hours. And it was hell to sand as the setup product was rubbery. Ended up peeling up and using thin coats of regular mud alternating with coats of pigment-free latex primer (penetrates better than paint). The primer would soak through the dry mud and bond it to the layer below, and waterproof it. And where I needed more thickness I added layers of the yellow self-stick. Then linoleum over the top. Worked great.
Mic sounds great!
Thanks
Guy. The Vancouver conference or just feature the video the Vancouver Carpenter just featured a video that has tapeless mud; have you ever heard of this? In other words, the mud has a substance, a solid in it that makes Taping completely unnecessary; this is amazing if it works; what is your professional opinion please?
So did I and I have more to do on this, but here's the first one- th-cam.com/video/xkbkUKJBeX4/w-d-xo.html
The mic works great!
Thanks!
Happy belated !!
Thanks!

I wonder, have you ever reversed a corner bead and used it for an inside corner? I'm curious if it would work.
No but check out this video -th-cam.com/video/cblTRQmLMVQ/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for the link, wish I had seen this before I had started but I already used a vinyl bead on one corner. Looks like I'll be heading to the local wallboard company. As a DIY'er who doesn't have a lot of drywall expertise or tools, the biggest problem was learning the proper consistency of hot mud. I probably still don't have it right yet but close enough for government work.
A general rule of thumb is that for taping we use a little bit thinner, and for the first coat a little bit thicker, and then each successive coat gets slightly thinner but never so thin that it wants to drip off your knife constantly.
Sound great
The problem with the mesh tape is it will crack. Especially on a 1st story ceiling with an upstairs above it. In my garage u used mesh tape then put fiberfuse on top to test to see if it would hold up. It hard to fix the cracks that appear on a finished ceiling after they are painted.
Another disadvantage of FibaFuse is that it can clog up a bazooka on a bigger job.
Those fiberglass splinters can be pretty devastating, too.
Being able to see your potential blisters, though, is a huge advantage.
Tip: To remove fiberglass particles (from insulation mostly) from your clothes and/or skin, 'reverse roll' a piece of masking/painter's/duct tape around one hand and roll it over the affected area. Now you don't have to wait 2-3 wash cycles to get that itch outcha shirts!
Just tried it 🤮. Broke when I bent it for corner
Great point!
Like I said, I'm not a big fan of it for corners. But the fibafuse max is supposed to fix that, and I'll test it soon.
@@advanceg2116 Yeah...as TKG mentioned, use it for hand-taping flats.
Paper's best for inside corners. Just make sure you have thin enough mud (not drippy, though) and get the mud smashed into the corner and cover/coat EVERY LAST INCH of both sides of a corner before applying the tape.
Also, crease the tape *slightly* before putting it on the corner AND slide the flat edge of your knife down the corner of the tape to set it into the corner better before wiping it down.
@@ItchyKneeSon yeah, well my first experience with it was TODAY before I watched the video😫
Can you please make a video on how to install j-bead around a tub/shower combo enclosure
Can you use hot mud on fibafuse tape when fixing cracks?
Yes
6:07 perfect
I like it I like hot mud.
Sound is great. How about using Plus 3 with fibafuse?
I prefer regular weight all purpose for taping as it has more adhesive. But in a pinch I’ll use +3 with a squirt of Drywall mud glue or just some wood glue.
This is the ticket. The Mike sounds great can you tell us what you're using. I don't have a channel I'm just curious
It’s the Saramonic blink 500 pro two channel system. I watched a lot of TH-cam reviews before about it.
@@ThatKiltedGuyDIY I subbed. Love the content! You will definitely had a 100000 subscribers prior to your birthday in June

What is the best to replace tape in a ceiling of a garage in Arizona where it's 🔥 and a novice 100%
Fibafuse
What about the Fibafuse Max tape? Should that be reserved for large gaps and ceiling repairs?
It's a little thicker but should be really strong anywhere you use it. Should even work in the angles, though I've only used it a little.
Explain corner strips. What there is metal/fiberglass then how do you put them on nail or screw and corner blades
Done. Here ya go- th-cam.com/video/cblTRQmLMVQ/w-d-xo.html
Hi I wanna start my own business doing drywall repairs fixing cracks homes etc how do I go about pricing jobs what’s easiest way
I will do a video about it one day.
You’ll have to show the fibafuze wide roll patch next.
There are two varieties, one 6 inches wide, and one 36 inches wide.
@@VC-Toronto Clark Dietrich and straight flex have some differing widths available now. Not quite the same as fibafuse though.

What grit do you you use to sand a garage ceiling
Watch my latest video
FibaFuse Tape, Got it!
If you search for it, the correct spelling is Fibafuse.
@@ThatKiltedGuyDIY , I was just going to go by weight and look.. 😛 (you know, “The Good Stuff”🙂
In summary, I should use paper tape in corners. Fiber in the field on walls. Mesh on ceilings because novices are so slow getting mud up while on a ladder. My guess for an amateur like me? I can't wait to try doing this its gonna be messy:)
If you use mesh, use setting mud.
Can you use fibafuse for taping with hotmud
Yes
Wait a minute. You dont do inside corners with crease outwards, do you? As for sticking or right or wrong. The paper tape is the same material all the way through. One side will not adhere better than the other. But I would think that burying that 32nd of an inch paper hump will take more work than not having to bury it.
I’ll show you soon
You crush Vancouver carpenter
Thanks
Awsome
5:50 lol
I prefer paper for factory joints and corners, love Fiba Fuse for butt joints and repairing bad mesh tape jobs (my house is full of additions with mesh tape over empty joints aka no prefill). They even used mesh for corners 😩
I use mesh for patches, that's about it. But I always prefill. Mesh isn't bad, just use some common sense.
I don't like FibaFuse. It is not very strong and tears easily. I would use mesh or paper before this product.
👏🏽👏🏽
Why don’t you have me out to junction? You prep. I’ll wallpper over your prep work.
I think we can do that one day but I’ve got way too much on my plate right now and have to stay focused on what I’m doing. I just now got back to being able to put out good videos and I want to move into a new home or at least start looking for one in two or three months at the most.
👍👍👍👍👍
Tell us. What’s your favorite tape
Paper for new construction due to the speed, and mesh tape for repairs again due to the speed and the fact that after putting on over 500 rolls of mesh tape I’ve not had callbacks.
You forgot that blue tape !?
Yeah I want to cover that in a separate video anyway
First = worst?
Yes, the paper tape is the worst for beginners, the fibafuse is the best.
@@ThatKiltedGuyDIY I prefer paper to the others and I’m novice
@@ThatKiltedGuyDIY Sorry. I was referring to the comments. For smaller tape jobs, I prefer to mud the 'back' side of the tape before sticking it on the wall.
@@advanceg2116 More power to ya, bruddah!
Your crush paul peck too pal
Thanks
2:17 disgrace
I'm itchy just seeing fibafuse
Lol 😂
The best tape for anyone is mesh. Super universal
Until you factor in that it’s required to use fast setting joint compound with it or your chances of it cracking or failing increase greatly
@@ThatKiltedGuyDIY not at all. You roll it on with a 4”roller. Then knife it
You still have to use fast setting joint compound. I know this for a fact but believe what you want or go read the manufacturers website. How you apply it has little to do with whether it’s more prone to crack. The material has everything to do with it
@@ThatKiltedGuyDIY that’s because you never used a roller
@@Gog3453 that doesn’t change squat.
