This is the best overall description of an actual "Process" for drywall finishing that I have ever seen. I've done a lot of amateur drywall - and it seems like I always put on too much mud and do too much sanding. But the way you describe the 5 stages and how to apply the coats - really gives me some fine tuning that will help me with my current project. Thank you for such an awesome tutorial!
I found this a thorough tutorial on drywall finishing from beginning to end and demonstrated professionally for enthusiasts to easily follow. I loved the idea of adding dye for detecting where the patches are to be sanded. Thanks for sharing
I've watched a lot of Drywall Finishing how to videos.. since I don't have a life... I'm a retired Drywall contractor which included many years of commercial slick wall... and I found very little to fault you on with your technique and skill set.. Very good video.. the best I've seen of CZcams.. the one and only thing that I wouldn't do is to sand between coats for smooth wall since the dust fills the air pockets of the previous coat and like a buttered and dusted cookie sheet, the mud has trouble sticking and when sanding (final sanding) the air pockets can become visible.. as long as you don't sand too much and by that I mean 1 or 2 strokes max... typically I would scrape before applying the next coat but like you I leave every coat very clean so minimal scraping is required..for butt joints I tend to use the rounded side of the 6" knife to get rid of the ridge only on the butt joints and lap marks.. I know.. I'm an over the top perfectionist but from what I see in your video you are as well... take care my skilled friend... AAA++
Letzrockitrite I forgot to add the comment that one should only use blue chalk when mixing for touch up as red will bleed through paint.... thanks again for the GREAT VIDEO !!
Letzrockitrite
I have found that when using "chalk" to tint the touch up mud it DOES dry harder than untinted mud, so it is harder to sand. I now use painters tint. It is the tint use to color paint. It does not make the touch up mud hard, sands easily and there are no issues with "bleeding" thru. Give it a try.
lmao that was funny
I used food colouring
halconsalvaje + lol)]
Excellent video. Explained clearly, one of the best I have seen on youtuble. Great Principals and Sound Techniques. As a professional taper for over 20 years, if you follow the stages as explained your project will be successful. Use your light lamps when accessing for imperfections besides the naked eye visual, hand touch and feel.
I'm a Painter. Have done some mud work. Trust me folks, mediocre mud has to be fixed or your paint job will look like poo! This guy has some very valuable advice to save headaches in the final product.
I first ran across this video 2 years ago when looking for tutorials after I reinsulating and drywalling my bedroom wall. I always did a poor job when it came to taping and mudding as I'm an IT guy and don't drywall and mud all that often. After watching this video I tried it and my wall came out perfect, I was very happy with my work, thank you for giving me the confidence to tackle this myself saving me money and giving me pride in my work every time I look at my wall. I'm now doing my garage wall since the previous owners installed non fire rated drywall and watching this video again as a refresher.
I had a number of "Ahhh. I see" moments watching this. I do minor home repairs and have done a fair amount of mudding where my results have just been "okay". This clarified a number of things that should result in considerably better finishes. Thank you!
Awesome video, I might add that you can lower the lights and use a worklight or bright flashlight shining down each seam to find imperfections you might otherwise miss. It's usually overkill but takes it to the next level.
The best drywall finishing video I have seen and I have watched a lot. Thanks so much.
I'm currently finishing my basement and have watched at a lot of videos on finishing drywall and this one is easily the best video out there! Thank you Mr. Gobeil.
btw, this video is targeted to homeowners.. i've tried using a trowel and find that a knife is better suited for me
+Paul Yee You are welcome, sir.
This video is really helpful for lots of DIYer who need to finish their Drywall. Thank you.
the chalk to color the compound is a great idea. ill try it thank you
This guy makes it look super easy but the reality is it's all about the angles of the knife. Depending on the compound you're using, the angle of the knife makes a huge difference. For example I find using sheetrock 90, 45, 20, etc. , having the blade almost parallel with the wall works best, while using finishing compound, having it at more to a 90 degree angle (lets say 65-70 degree angle) reduces bubbles and pock marks. I don't know why this happens, I'm just a jack of all trades and here to help improve my skills.
it's absolutely an art,knowing all the ins &outs..efficiency..perfect perfect perfect painting surface & keeping the sanding down to the minimum, I've done miles of it & no where near as smooth,efficient& fast as guys like this & the bottom line, the paint finish is only good as the prepped walls.
Very good presentation of the procedure. Well filmed, good explanation, clear speech, and relatively short video given the information provided.
I am a professional builder. I think you covered this subject very well. I find on a remodel, it helps to lay down canvas tarps before you sand and to vent the shop vac out a window with a second length of hose place in the outlet of the machine as drywall dust tends to go everywhere. Thanks'
This is a perfect video for me - A homeowner looking to finish up one room in my house. Thanks for the video.
old school that's how I learned. I am a 3rd generation finisher. Tape,bed,skim. all purpose for taping light weight for finish. use 180- 220 sandpaper. Finishing can be fun and you can take pride in it.
+Clayton Staggs Can you explain what the purpose of the skim coat is?
I enjoyed the video. Very good tips and techniques to do drywall mud and tape. I would recommend this video to anyone.
This is by far one of the best drywall videos on YT! wish you could update the video to be watched in 4K (hope I am not asking much!)
I'm from Brazil and i work in this área, think this s a good video completely instructive
I don't know if this video made drywalling easier for me, but you definitely made it look easy.
I really like the ideal of adding the color on the touch up skim coat.
Great point about the butt joints and how they will always bump out from the wall and to hide it is the trick. Never really made that connection before.
Love the Video. I wish I saw this video before I finished 2 basements. I will use your tip to my third basement project. Thanks,
Thank you for providing this video. I have it bookmarked and keep coming back to it for reference.
Good video for the home owner who has only the basic tools.
This is a stellar video. Fantastic workmanship and professionalism. Thank you
Thanks for posting this good quality well spoken and easy to understand video !
excellent video, it always looks easy when a pro does it,totally different when you give it a go
His instructions very easy to understand.
Great instructions, I just finished a large patch job including installing some replacement drywall. My joints look better than the original "professional" work. Rule number 1-patience, don't rush it.
sure dude ...then they where not professional
+Karl Hammerberg I always find that my drywall work both looks better and lasts longer than all the professional drywall work I have paid "professionals" to do. That said, I still have a greater tendency to hire out drywall work . . . the "professionals" get it done so quickly . . . perhaps that may be contributing to why my work turns out better . . . at 3-4 times as long to do.
Good job sir you have a
smooth finish
And a steady hand
Your video was very instructional and helped me tremendously. Thankyou for posting it.
I like this video it
helped learn how to sand properly … a little heads up for
everyone who plans on doing this. While I was doing this I had a hard time with
all of the dust. I needed something to filter the air but I cannot use the
typical dust mask because my safety glasses always fog up. My neighbor told me
about a cool product the Air Commander Respirator. I bought it off of Amazon
and it filtered the air just great without fogging my glasses. Anyway thanks
for the great video now I have to start sanding the ceilings yuck!
Thank you. Very helpful, never done drywall before.
Learned how to mud from some pros a few years back and have to say this is a great video.
Great video, love the idea of the chalk coloring at the end, I could probably use food coloring also. have a great day
I appreciate your video! Just completed my theater room, no texture. Came out 1st class thank you!
ya make it look so easy. ... thank you for your time
Thanks for the video! Just bought a house- has an unfinished garage, which I'm planning on changing soon. Your video will definitely help!
Just did my 1st taping/mudding. Did like 8 coats haha. I was doing fine at first then I made newbie mistakes like sanding too hard to expose the tape, then tried the wet sponge and scrubbed too hard to fuzz up the drywall paper. Got impatient and used 20-min quick set, spread it thickly thinking "i'll just sand it later" only to find out not only is it much harder to sand than 24hr mud, but it's also a LOT more dusty. Lesson learned is I just need to apply adequate tape bed and super fine 1st coat, then wait 'til tomorrow, where i'll apply a super thin 2nd coat. Wait another day and apply thin coat to the whole wall. Wait another day then sand/sponge lightly.
your product is very easy to use I love it
Lol we do a second coat even if there are any ridges then we sand after the final bed and touch it up, it actually saves alot of time
If you shine a light at an angle on the wall you can easily find all imperfections. If you don't find them this way, once painted any sunlight from windows or lights will show them.
If you dont wear a mask while sanding, add a step to this video on the fun of picking mud dust boogers later on in your day.
And, of course, there'd be the next step in which you place them in small, sealable containers where they can be kept until needed for those occasional, small patching jobs. And remember, this economical, homemade patching putty is suitable for interior surfaces only.
Those kind of dust mask are useless at keeping the dust out, the dust will be sucked in around the edges. A person needs a dust mask that has a rubber gasket and filters.
+Austin Tobin ....saying your not peice of shit like most...makes yu sound like a piece of shit douch....

Machiavelli B. I was joking. I have been in drywall over 20 years. Started with my father.
ummm, no I just messed up couple for the first time, and the 3rd and so forth are awesome and were a piece of cake. I am here for tips on fixing those first couple ones instead of destroying the whole thing. Experience gives you speed.

Ricki San Benito, Tx...thank you
6'' 10'' 12'' Knife. I do Drywall for a living. Paper Tape and light weight mud.
Very nice. However, lol, I would include the WAIT times between jobs, i.e. filling in the joints with mud then placing the tape then WAITING (for how long?). Also, I would Explain what Feathering entails. JMHO.
I always first coat my tape after bedding it...I ALWAYS do one corner side...I don't use the inside corner knife but when my next coat goes on, the corners are ready for sanding and sometimes only a third touch up coat is needed.
nice job ,done properly
THANKS FOR SHARING
How the hell do you do this in a black shirt and keep it clean???
Excellent video. How do you handle a situation where the joint shows through the paint after the wall has been finished?
Nicholas - sand the paint (just rough it up so the compound will stick). Then apply a coat of compound on either side of the tape. Feather each side to the tape (so you will not actually be leaving any compound on the tape). It will look like you put two 12" coats of mud side by side. But this will hide the joint.
I’d appreciate it if you tell me what type compound you used on your levels 2 through 4. Thanks!
You did a great job! You did make it hard for yourself though.
Thank you very much sir.
Thank you so much :) very good video
excellent video.
thank you for perfect video
