I really like this guys videos, no wanna be comedian, no talking about his dead dog, or his snake vacation, or other useless information.....he just explains everything short and clear, good audio, and camera action. this is how all diy videos should be produced.
Completely agree! His humor is funny and doesn't slow things down.
Oh shit, I didn’t know he lost his frog. I hope his snake vacation cheered him up.
johnny -- but with loud distorted guitar music that no one knows.
yeah he’s pretty awesome. He doesn’t look old enough to have such a wealth of experience and knowledge. He must be a very fast learner, or good genes 😂
Johnny....Are you kidding me?..... "you should wear an organics mask but Im going to run though this quick then hang outside on the porch for twenty minutes"....thats pure Canadian comic gold!
30 years in construction. I thought I was the only one who primed bare spots like that.
I love walking away from a job knowing I have done the best job that can be done and do the extra steps to insure a great job.
Could you please share a bit more about why you prime before the mud? To block the stain?
I’ve always skimmed spots like that before prime, would like your input on why you don’t cuz I always thought you should?
Yes please. I would also like to know why we should prime before mudding. Thanks so much!
I'm a carpenter. You taught me more about drywall then anybody. My first job turned out amazing.thanks to you man thanks for all your videos
Love it man. Real life drywall problems, real life drywall damage, with real life drywall solutions and techniques that a handy homeowner can actually do.
I'm 20 years old. I've been doing this work since I was a little kid, helping my dad with his business. I got out of NG training (18y/o) and decided to start my own Handyman company (small stuff at first to get back I'm the groove). After getting myself more acclimated to the style and work load, I began completing larger jobs- slowly but surely, of course. I was starting to run into scenarios that I had no idea what to do with on my first large drywall job (19 y/o). On my way home, I bought 15 sheets of drywall, 1 bucket/box of every mud in-store, and all the tools needed. I found your channel, watched your videos, and immediately built a stand with spare 2x4's. When I was done practicing for 11 hours straight, I went to the job and knocked out 4.3x the amount from the day before and brought myself current on the job and finished on time. I went from an embarrassing situation realizing I wasnt ready, to- I wont accept defeat, I'll get this, and progressed each hour and made a name for myself. I regularly do the same thing with other trades and am now a general remodeling company and we're doing great! My dad lives your channel too; and at almost 60 years old he enjoys it more with your simple tips and tricks that help his neck, shoulder, and knees (after doing solely tile for 30 years and everything else on the side). Thank you, sir!
I love your story. Thanks for sharing! Best wishes for a successful future and generational wealth.
For those who want a ready reference to key points re the products .. I've summarised below.
3:20 The preference is for an alcohol based primer such as Shellac Primer-Sealer & Stain Killer, White, 1 Quart as it can be coated with mud after just 45min. Whilst the smell is strong at first it does go quickly
3:34 Don't go for water based products as they take a day to dry
3:54 And don't go for oil based products as the smell lingers, and you still have to wait 4-5 hrs to coat with mud
4:16 Whilst you can get spray cans of Shellac primer-sealers, the preference is to roll it on to ensure its is saturated. Sprays seem to just coat the paper and doesn't get under any flaps
4:36 Lastly it's a good idea to wear an organic respirator
THANK YOUUU
Cliff Lives!
Thanks so much Sir😊. Super helpful 👌.
It's not often I find exactly what I need when I search for DIY help on CZcams. What typically happens is I end up watching portions of multiple videos and mix-and-match from what I watch. This video was concise and provided me exactly what I needed. First try. Also, it was such a satisfying experience, I watched four more of your videos which provided me more knowledge for my project. Really fantastic presentation! I appreciate how you talk to your viewers. You're obviously a professional, but realize most of your viewers probably aren't professionals. Thank you!
Your definitely a natural at explaining. Fast and effective if it’s not broken don’t fix. I always like how you put it out there about room for improvement. I’ve been doing drywall 30 years and always willing to use new methods if efficient and better not always quicker is better but efficient and effective. I would recommend using Fiber Fuse tape on everything but angels. Try Fiba Fuse tape with AP mud because there’s never a bubble and it’s way lite. Then you can skim it.
this is awesome. I have wrestled with trying to patch these tearouts without priming first and they just keep blistering and lifting over and over and over. Thanks for the tips, you really know your stuff.
As a beginner carpenter/remodeler who's been doing this for 4 years, I can say I'm learning so much from this guy.
Very good. I wish that I had seen this 4-5 years ago when redoing a bedroom. The drywall paper was a mess. I kept muddying and sanding until it quit blistering and I could finally paint it. I am sure this will be useful in the future. Thanks.
I've been watching your videos for years, and this one is my all-time favorite. I come back to it every now and then because I feel like I learn something new each time. Plus it's just so well done and kind of relaxing to watch 😁
I’ve watched your sk8 material for years and this just BLEW MY MIND when looking to fix some wall damage after a builder grade counter removal from 1995.
Felt I was in the twilight zone bro. Whoaaaa
Right on...great tips. I've been painting contractor for a while, not many carpenters/contractors have your knowledge, skill, common sense and ability. Usually, when I see a carpenter with any type of filler or caulking gun, I tell them to "just walk away." "You want to help me? Don't help me." ..."I'll pay you NOT to help me." Lol! Your video on caulking was stellar as well, impressive work!
A guy I worked with said he knows everything there is to know about drywalling. I told him it's time to quit if he won't learn anything anymore. I picked up a new bit of knowledge from this and most all of your posts. Thanks for these, and keep it going!
This was the first video that came up in my search and it is perfect for what I needed. I removed some laminate/formica from some drywall and wanted to know how to prep it for painting. I am convinced watching this saved me a lot of headaches. Thank you.
A thorough explanation of a fix for this type of issue. Well done, sir.
Thank you 🙏 You are empowering people to repair their homes and teach their children how to repair theirs. You change lives.
The quality of instruction is as good as it gets.. in any field. I recommend these videos to people to help them learn how to be better communicators and teachers, including those who will never do construction.
Great camera work on the drywall. Very few DIY videos show the surface detail clearly enough when talking about drywall.
Also, amazing how such a young guy knows so much and provides such great how-to videos.
Wish I had known this a few months ago..but hey....I will definitely keep this key bit of knowledge in my memory banks! Thanks SO much!
😇😎😀
Just wanted to say "Thanks" your videos have been a tremendous and timely help for me during my laundry room renovation.
Excellent tutorial. I’ve been using bins for a long time to remedy this problem with torn drywall paper. It leaves a hard finish which can be lightly sanded with out raising the paper like water based primers do. I also use bins to seal out bleeding knots in wood before painting and other stains which might bleed through my finish paint. It dries so fast that I can paint over it immediately. Shellac also works as well.
I needed this! I was almost in tears thinking I’ve ruined my walls by scraping off wallpaper that was covered with paint!! Thank you so much!
Thank you I've been trying to figure out how to repair same drywall tears. Your informative vid opened my eyes and I'm grateful sir thank you great vid...
You explain this stuff better than Anyone I’ve seen . Getting ready to repair drywall in my garage,basically redoing it but I fill a little more confident can do a better job now . Fingers crossed 🤞
So I've been watching a lot of videos on repairing drywall today and this video popped up on my recommendations. Not gonna lie, I clicked on it thinking it was a skate video. Most useful dual-channel dude to me on youtube.
This dude is solid. This is the only video of his that I disagree strongly with. Fuck painting that shit on the wall. It sucks. Oil based Zinser works way better. All the extra steps it takes to do anything like this isn’t worth the loss of time and cleaning up all this new mess. Skim it, sand some blisters and re-skim. You’re already mudding so who cares.
I’m doing a redo now and this is happening. I’m so glad I came across your video, big help you are. Thank you my friend with the informative information, keep them coming.
Great informative video. Glad to see you have found your true calling, once Lazytown had been cancelled.
I never could quite get to the point where there's a clean edge that doesn't need scraping anymore. I start with a spot the size of a quarter and end up with a spot the size of a corn field.
I often use a knife at these points, don't underestimate a clean cut
Too funny!
Scott Farkus Lol!
@@bobseaver7807 Go chase the Bumpus dogs!!
Just keep going it will happen.
This is a really good idea and this is what I like to do and use, shellac is the absolute best high adhesion primer/ sealer, I use it exclusively and also works well for pen, crayon, waxes, fire and smoke damage, spot priming on exterior and stops tannin bleed on acidic woods, stops pitch and SAP bleeding, shellac is the ultimate. We just recently were at a commercial job and my boss said we didn't need to prime a buncha wallboard paper exposed and I knew we did, yep you guessed it, blisters and paper wrinkled and became a huge issue. Absolutely ridiculous. Thank you Vancouver carpenter you're the best.
@Renzo you mentioned shellac. I've always got a pound or 2 of blonde and super blonde shellac flakes in the van with denatured alcohol. If I mixed up a gallon using the blonde flakes could I use that? I use it for finish work on walnut and maple but if it works on torn paper...
@@ronmiller7248 Yes, I don't know what the cut ratio in Shellac Primer. But, he's just using a shellac primer in video so it has a ton of white pigment in it versus your blonde flakes.I'm also not sure about the economics of your blonde flakes versus just buying some zinger's BIN or Kilz shellac primer. One of the big benefits of shellac is it bonds to all other finishes. You can use it to seal surface that is contaminated or previously finished with oil or wax before applying a lacquer or acrylic("water based"). I have problems in my house, where the person before me painted over the original oil paint with acrylic paint without good service prep, and the acrylic peels off the wall like plastic wrap. Always priming with shellac would be a shotgun solution to prevent issues with unknown old finish and it dry faster than anything else accept catalyzed lacquer.
Just what I needed - terrific video! For small jobs the spray is the way to go, though due to - cost. 1 gallon of the Bin you are using is currently (2022-09-05) $74.00 at the Home Despot. That's a bit steep for the few ounces a homeowner will probably need. This stuff works great if you have 'iron' stains on the ceiling where upstairs plumbing or roof may have leaked. That will come right through latex paint, Bin stops it dead.
Excellent tip on using the roller to press the shellac into the paper. Many people use aerosols because they are quick but they really don’t penetrate as well.
I know this has been posted for a long time, but I wanted to thank you! Great video, wonderful instructions, and I was able to fix some peeling in my house without having to hire a contractor. Appreciate you!
When I hear "Welcome to Vancouver Carpenter..." I know it's all going to be alright.
Love your channel sir. Congratulations on your success.
Time to go back to the wall I just tried to repair, that now had a huge blister on it and seal it first. Trial and error....life’s best teacher.
Just tore off some 40 year old wallpaper and was about to just skim coat over it. So lucky I found this video while watching your others!
Same problem here. Easily stripped layers of wallpaper and taped and skim coated with varying success (tape bubbling like crazy in places). Out of frustration I was considering hanging expensive 1/4" drywall on the ceiling and doing wainscoting the walls to hide. Simple primer saved the day.
I can't believe this showed up in my recommendations! I am going to be taking the wood paneling out of my great room and have to prep the wall, texture and paint before Christmas! Saw a video about making sure to prime the glue spots that get ripped which I didn't know. So was just going to buy Kilz and roll in on. But now will be buying a shellac. Thanks Ben!
I have this problem and I thought of you right away because I knew you would have a video on how to fix it. I also knew you unlike the other videos would show us step by step how to do it and what to use. I can't thank you enough.
BIN is alcohol based, which means fast drying and no persistent fumes. Love it.
GARDZ DOES THE JOB. A must for use on new drywall before applying wallpaper.
Love your videos. I have been in the home improvement field for over 40 years. I learn a lot from your videos.
This saved me from ripping down unnecessary drywall and will save me money and time in my own remodel so thanks for the video!
Been doing drywall for 35 years. I have never had to seal drywall paper. Ive always sprayed the paper with water so when the compound dries it doesn't cause bubbles in the paper. Also use Dura bond for repair such as this, when it does dry out it pulls the air bubbles out
Mike Luther thank you
The video didn't work for me but this did. Thanks
Haha I wish I saw this earlier when I had to repair this exact issue. Should have done it like you described here! Ah well, my repair will likely need repairing down the road anyway.
very much appreciate the video. im a carpenter/stucco guy figured i would try doing my own house. ran into a few ripped paper issues along the way and wasent sure if i would have to add paper to the whole area but this saves me a pile of time and also is a way faster system... thanks again!
This is very helpful for my renos, along with some of your other drywall joint videos I've looked at. Thanks for taking the time to make these!
This guy is great, straight to the point and clealry explain s or walks through
Acrylic fortifier from Home Depot or Lowe's in concrete section..acrylic fortifier water-based works well on this situation and within 15 minutes can be coated with mud not an hour and you don't have to breathe the chemicals from your shellac
do you just paint it on the bad paper spot?
love your videos. I have been in the biz for over 40 years. I still learn a lot from your videos. Thanks, Joe
Thanks a lot for your videos. Straight to the point and really helpfull. I just did the drywall in my cabin.... was much slower than you are but your videos got me understanding how to do a good job. Thank you very much! And keep on the good work!
In my second-ever apartment and decided to hang up some decorations-finally. Well, I misplaced one and pulled it off to move and pulled a chunk of drywall with it. I was so upset and worried I'd have to pay a huge fee but knowing I can just fix it myself has seriously been a blessing. Thank you.
I know it been a long time but did you manage to fix it without the landlord noticing it ?
My drywall skills have developed leaps and bounds after watching your videos, and I look forward to new content from you. Thanks for sharing your skills with us!
I just bought a house & had to take down a tile mural, this video SAVED me, the estimates i got from handymen to fix the wall was about $200, my husband and I did this in an afternoon ourselves with primer we already had, i only had to buy mud! Thank you SO MUCCH!
This is a really good presentation. Zinser shellac based primer has been my go-to for years and has never failed me. This application is still a first for me but rest assured I will be using it.
These are great videos I look forward to them every day keep up the great work and thanks for making them
Vancouver video:
'how to repair... '
Slap 'mud' all over it.
That thumbnail really caught my attention! Now I know I’ve done the first half of my house wrong, but will do it right for the second half. Thanks for the great informative video.
I watch these types of videos from time to time to see how others do things. Yours is the first time I've seen someone do it exactly like I do. This is the best and quickest method. Great video.
I love your "library" of videos. I wanted to double check what to do on the torn paper first and here I am.
Yeah right there u help me a lot very good advice thks so much good job thk x u time thk for sharing
This guy just gets right to it. He tells you the good stuff you need to know and doesn't waste your time with BS and annoying music. BRAVO
I think I originally watched this video about a year ago. I'm back to watch it as a refresher. No one else seems to talk about stuff like this, so THANK YOU!!!
Of course I find this video AFTER I just finished my bathroom renovation. Haha. I used some other techniques I learned from you, but sealing the paper before skimming would have made the result much better. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos!
Clear, direct, well-illustrated. Thank you.
Now you've done it! Taught me something. I've rolled oil Kilz until I was almost unconscious a few times. Thanks for the shellacking! Keep it up and I might subscribe ... If I could just-remember my name...
I'm a painter by trade and shellac is my go to when any priming is needed. Amazing product with a quick recoat time.
Many thanks for the info, nice to see someone explaning a job who knows what he is doing . Keep up the good work
I just realized I've been watching your videos for the last hour... Color me subscribed! I know a fair amount about drywall, but the things I've learned in the last hour have been pure gold!
I learned about blistering the hard way. I kept a painting and seeing bubbles. Was s waste of paint and I wont do it again
Wish I had seen this before I did a very small repair in the powder room. The repair was about the size of a silver dollar and no matter how many coats of regular water-based primer I applied, I always got a couple of blisters. Fortunately the repair was in a location that didn't show too badly. Out of frustration I just painted over it after skimming it with mud. Now I'm better prepared for the next time.
Great videos and love your dry humor Please keep 'em coming!
I get SO frustrated with so many you tubers obviously trying to pad their video lengths. Everything has to be 15 minutes. This guy is bang! Right to it. All the facts and nothing but the facts. I learn so much here! Thank you!
You're a good teacher?straight to point!
Thank you!
This is literally my new favorite channel. I've been watching so many videos
Thanks for bringing us along. I've had to do this once. I used something called Rx-35 and it did the job. DIYer here.
Awesome video! Thank you it’s very educational. I was so close to just putting putty over ripped drywall but now I know to seal it first 😁
You are providing excellent information to people. Thank you!
That's the guy you hope would show up for your drywall project
and in reality, you get Tim, the Alcoholic, with failing vision.
Oh snap, not Tim!!!
Well, I mean he does sometimes, but that's just too drop off who's really doing it and collect the check. 🙂
Hiring a pro is like playing lotto
I am the guy that shows up for my drywall project.
I just did a drywall repair after removing tile from the wall. Wish I would have seen this first. I think my repair went decently but on the next bathroom I will use your methods here for sure, thanks
Having a blast watching all of your vidz, even the one with your dad!!! Very helpful! Thank you and keep up the great work.
First time viewer here. Great insight thanks for the tips. Subscribed
Shellac based primer... never knew this, thank you Ben.
Thanks for the tip. I have always in my tools a "lacquer" spray can. It really does the job too.
As I stared at my exposed brown paper in the drywall I wondered what I was going to do! Thank you for this!! It was the answer I was looking for. Not nearly as scary a job as I thought!
I would have never thought to prime the exposed paper... Thanks for the helpful information! I am gonna start to use primer on my drywall repairs from now on! Great Video!
great tips I needed to know long ago, thanks
This guy has given so much info in each video. Simple easy to use techniques. Best videos I've found.
Spot on! If I made a video for this repair, it would be the same video. Exactly how I was taught 20 years ago!
I always wondered what I could do better with this torn paper. Now I know.
I do this everyday. I do drywall patching 80 % of my work. Soak the brown with water, spray bottle is best. Then mud within half hour. No Blisters. But you must soak. Primers as i have found are just soaking the paper. Water is free! Had to let this secret out.
I think I prefer your method.
I have more secrets to come, new channel opening soon under different name. I will reply it on this post. Also yes water doesnt cost anything and its the reason these brown paper solutions exist.
I've been patching drywall for 23 years. Soaking with water leaves me with blisters. I then have to go back and redo. If it works for you then definitely do it. Water is free and quicker.
@Todd Henin I use 20 minute mud.
Fixing Things and Fishing
I’ll check it out.
This guy is awesome. Used his door trim technique for drywall protruding past a door jam last week and using this technique tomorrow.
I have used the BIN sealer for applications like what Ben showed in this video for my business and it really does seal the surface.
Thank you bro for making repairs easier for us all, I have learned alot from your straight forward, no b.s. way of presenting the facts with no unwanted fillers( pun not intended)
Thank you so much for making these videos. I've always done my own drywall work and, while I've had good results in the end, it always seems to take me forever to finish a room. I've picked up a lot from watching you and my frustration level is down and the job I'm in the middle of is going MUCH quicker thanks to your tips.
:)
From what your saying I should be watching his vids. This was my first one and I'm impressed. I've been in the trades for 40yrs so Im not that easily impressed. Guess I'll go watch some more.
Thank you! I had used that was recommended by another CZcamsr on a product that had something like .., 1099 RX? but he had indicated that it took 24 hours to dry. Too long of a wait. I’m glad I came across your video!
Ben you are the greatest of all time bro. I watch your skate content all the time. Then I go to remodel a room in my house. Look up drywall finishing and boom here you are again. Im subscribing without hesitation. Keep up the good work man.
Wish I knew this a couple weeks ago, although the blisters in the tape cover up the other blisters pretty well.
I personally use a spray can of kills it soaks in and works awesome drytime 15 mins
Killz Primer. Yes.
Hey I'm new to all of this been learning as much as I can. I really want to become a DIY dude so I don't have to call on someone to fix or replace anything. So far I've learned a lot. Thank. I'll definitely be looking at your channel more often.
Thank you for this video. I never knew to seal the torn areas first but it makes perfect sense that you should.
Thanks for this! I almost mudded some peeled areas on my walls without priming. BIN is amazing primer! I love it. :-)
