Im down here in Nashville with suddenly more time than money and a bedroom ceiling FULL of nail pops. I figure 5-10 of the original nails didn't pop. This video, and 200 nail pops to practice on have gotten me pretty good at it :) Just wanted to say thanks.
I only found your channel recently, but have sent many of your links to my co-workers. Your instructions are clear, and a lot of fun. Thanks!
Ben, you always make these repairs look so easy, but I know that it just comes from years of practice. Keep up the great videos!
Thanks for all your videos, they have helped me tremendously in fixing all my drywall. I especially liked your video on perfect corners and the intersecting road explanation.
At first I was mad because of all the tools you said were needed! Then you made it look so doable, as usual. You are the BEST!
Thanks for taking the time for these videos. Helps me a ton! 🤙🏻
In the glazing trade, many of us call them a flat bar. And I can't agree more, they're probably the most versatile and handy tools ever invented. For myself, a painter's 5 in 1 is a close second, and I sharpen both of them on a regular basis.
I sure appreciate your videos. You not only taught me how to do things; you saved me money. Thank you Ben.
Love your videos man! Both skating and Carpentry! Keep them coming mate!
I'm Brazilian, I work with drywall and I found your work very good. congratulations!!
Good video. I fixed close to 100 of these when i first moved into my house a few years ago. I actually decided to put drywall screws in other walls that didn't have nail pops to prevent the inevitable future haha.
Always so helpful. Very entertaining, too.
Excellent! I wondered how I was going to remove the dry wall nails that have popped. I don't have those tools, but seeing how you need to cut out around the nail area, in order to get to the nail head to pry it out, definitely helps. All I have are hammers, screw drivers of all sizes and putty knives. I have some old wood shims too. I'll see what I can do. Thanks for the video!
I have a house filled with nail pops, you’ve now convinced me that taking down the drywall and hanging new is going to be the same amount of work as this repair for an entire house. I’d also get to add better insulation so there’s a positive.
Scott in MN I did the same in my living room to probably around 35 nail pops. Still holding strong a year and a half later, fingers crossed.
@@DuffyGabi thank you!!! I really did NOT want to do that much work just for a nail pop! 🙌
This guy rules! Thanks for all the great drywall lessons.
I love your vids. You make it all seem so easy.... pleasure to watch you work. 👍
The one tool I can never have too many of is my Husky 6 in 1 screwdriver. The bits pull out and switch between large and small Phillips / Flat heads, or without the bits can be used to unscrew hex heads like the ones used in AC vents. And the best part about the bits is you can pull one out and put it in a drill and go to town. I got tired of looking for them so I have about a dozen scattered around the house and in my tool bags. I have seen the tools you described used by the guy who installed the drywall and did the first coat of mud in the room I'm working on now. I was impressed with them and didn't know what they were called. Glad I saw this video. I will have to go find those tools now.
as usual always very useful tips for a homeowner/diy thank you
Great video. I have several in my room I was about to paint. Appreciate the vids. They have been great.
This is exactly what I was looking for. Doing repairs in my moms house and this is my current headache. 🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾
Great tips Ben.
All your videos are amazing.
This was an awesome guide, thanks!
Great video! I'm going to give this a try myself. Just found you on youtube and can't wait to see your other videos!
Very good and very thorough.
Just wanted to say thanks for all you're videos! I've learned so much yet I'm still terrible at fixing anything to do with drywall. I must have the wrong tools or something
Thank you! Love your videos!
Really good, easy to watch.
New to the channel. Love it man!
Awesome video! Thanks!
Very helpful!
EXCELLENT!!!
Thank you!
Great video, good advice! 👍
Cool and informative vid. Now I need to know what causes nail/screw pops and how to prevent them.
Nice tips
I love his videos.
Love your vids. I've been hammering them in and putting in a screw near it.
I think this, your method, is easier, faster and requires the least amount of drywall repair.
This video inspired me to try this in our hallway and I could see every patch through the paint. Not flashing but just the different texture popped so much it was just as bad as the popped nails. I dont know if its the color paint or the lighting but it really made me crazy
Very helpful thank you
Greatly appreciate this I gotta of these to fix
Hi, I'm learning all kinds of things from your channel, thank you very much. I am repairing nail pops in a 1950's house. How can I apply the finish mud to Imatch the texture of 60+ years of paint in the surrounding wall? Can one take a 3/8 nap roller to it a few minutes before it dries? Any suggestions on patch -texture matching would be appreciated.
Another great video by VC. One of the biggest reasons that nails "pop" is because the rock is not secured against the stud, tightly. Rockers need to be sure the rock is tight against the studs, by pushing the rock or nailing it tight.
The reason rockers use screws is the lack of skills at nailing, anyone can screw the rock down, but it is slower than nails if the nailer is skilled.
Great video, but I wish reasons for pops was discussed in beginning of video, thanks for adding this. I just do repair mostly and not a lot of new installs so I can't always remember why certain problems occur.
Nice video. Essential tools. Glazier bar needs an alarm. They grow legs.
WeRemodel.com, llc yes they do!!! I’ve been glazing for 20 years and we glazier can be very temperamental about are bars being ‘borrowed or walking off!! Lol
We call them ‘flat bars’ 👍🏻
Thanks so much partner. From down under, signing out mate.
This video was great. Everyone has nail pops.
Someone did a ton of drywall work in my house with regular old roofing nails 😑 needless to say there’s nail pops everywhere, slowly im fixing them, I normally just put a screw on either side right, tap the nail in and then mud it back over, yet to have one come back
I like that idea and was wondering why a person wouldn’t do just that. LOL! 😆 Occum’s Razor
I've always just replaced the nail with a larger screw and the problem is solved and ready to patch. I've never had a problem after that.
Nice!
Great vid but love to see what it looks like after primer and a couple coats of paint 😀
I agree. I find myself looking forward to seeing the painted wall, then it never comes!
very nice skater dude.
Great video! I am fixing some nail pops around my bathroom shower. I think I am going to use the All Purpose joint compound with the green lid that I got from Home Depot that you recommended in another video. How do I determine how many coats of this do I need to apply?
Have you done a video on how to repair/fix nail/screw pops at the corners of walls? Possibly at or near the bead?
Would you do the same for nails close to the corners? We have then popping near the corners on ceiling and wall.
Wondering why that doesn’t need the shellac coat, thanks for all your videos. I’ll be watching many more.
For a smaller job like this, is there much of a difference if you were to use spackle rather than mud to fill the holes? Or is it because you are dealing with nails is why you are to use mud instead?
Good Video!! A friend told me I can bang the nails in. Is that a good idea? versus prying them out? Could use anyone's thoughts
I'm a first time homeowner and I have quite a few of these and lifting drywall tape in my upstairs hallway. If I chicken out and decide not to do this myself, would it be worth it to call a professional to fix this issue for me?
Wow. The shamWow guy also does drywall. 😉
What if you just put the screws first, to tight the drywall, and then just hit the nails deeper, will the nails pop out again?
Thanks
When I don't have many to deal with, and they've popped enough, I grab them with a vice grip and twist them out to avoid any drywall crushing at all
Omg This is gonna take me forever
When repairing an older house that had an upstairs leak, can you treat the joist and wooden ceiling prior to putting the drywall on? I cleaned surface around with vinegar just in case of mold and mildew. It is a 40 year old ceiling and not sure the proper protocol after cleaning. Do I use a sealant or some kind of primer? Also, on one of the joist, there is a knot that is at the end where the ceiling would sit flush with the dry wall. It's not that big of a knot, but curious as to if I should worry about it. Thanks
Love the humor at the end. Quick question - why can’t I just use spakle to fill in?
Can this repair be applied on ceiling areas where a water leak created drywall indentations? the indentations are few and small, same size as in your video. Thanks!!
Great video. You are a great teacher. One question: how much PVA glue do you add to the water for your first coat of hot mud? I’d like to try your technique to give me the added “insurance that you prefer. 1 cm (3/8”) in the water bottle you showed? More? Less glue? Thanks for this helpful video.
The pros make this look so easy. I need to find a votech school that teaches this. I would hate to start sheetrock repairs on my house and just make things worse.
I was told to drive a second nail next to the popped one so that the head of the second overlaps the first. What are your thoughts or experiences with doing that? Saves digging out and less to fill.
My guess would be that the second nail could be going into compromised drywall and will also pop eventually.
Sr, what type of glue do you use on it. Nice work
what color brown is that? I love it
What would you have done if you cared about the wall in the situation where you coated over the screw pop you hadn't gotten to fixing?
2 new video recommendations:
1) feathering with a knife 101
2) 10 tools I wouldn’t be without
I came here to say half of this. PLEASE do a list of ten tools you wouldn't be without!!
skateboard with no wheels?? also saw your backside flip yesterday lol right on
That glazier's bar really must be good. We apiarists call it a "hive tool."
When doing repairs like this I find it don't sand the paint really well or prime b4 repair the second n skim coat bubbles
Is it any more challenging with a knockdown texture?
What do you suggest if I have numerous nail pops on an fairly aggressively textured wall? Would you fix all the nail pops and then skim coat it?
And that's my problem along a line in my kitchen ceiling. Has texture on it, so I'll try minimal disturbance. Hope screw-n-patch won't show. 🤷♀️
Question: Instead of pulling the nail, can you take a pinch to drive them in farther?
Just got home from work, sneaks out to the garage for a little light drywalling. It might be time for an intervention.
I have an old condo and EVERY nail is pushing out.i tried hammering then spackle! NOPE a year after they popped again.😪 I will try this.which will take forever but Will last,.thanks for awesome tips
Ikr, settling sucks and I've done the same approach by hammering them in a little more but they of course sneak their way back out eventually. Sucks to have to repaint the walls again but best to do it right the first time and not repaint again after a year or so
nice
If it's a small pop I pound them all the way in with a hammer and punch. If it's a big blister I'll cut it open, pull the nail with plyers, and remove the loose paper. Of course I put a screw in first about 2 inches away to secure the drywall before I start banging.
wow thats pretty extreme. I usually just put a couple of screws directly ontop of the protruding nail itself to push the nail and blister back into the wall, leaving a quarter size recess then mud over like it was a new nail.
If the wall seems solid, do you have to remove the nails?
Do you have to remove the nail or can you hammer it back down?
Video request number gazillion... I have walls that look like surf. They have a horizontal bulge and what looks like a crack line in between. I would really appreciate understanding what this is and how I might try to fix it so the wall at least looks flat
You should do plastering how-to videos. I'd like to try and get into that.
Hey Ben, do you know what may be causing my nail pop repairs to look like the mud has slightly dimpled in on top of my screws? They’re not driven in too far, so I’m thinking the issue could simply be I didn’t leave enough mud on. Weird thing is they didn’t look like that after they were painted
Ben will be taking this trade secret to the grave!
Any tips on repairing nail pops on a textured ceiling?
Soon
What is the ratio of glue to mud on that first batch you use for added adhesion ?
1 part glue to 10 parts water
I have a request. Can you please if you know how...do a video on texturing. The stuff in a can is no good. Would be nice to see someone texture so I can get a feel for what you do. Thanks again and may the plaster be with you.
Couple of questions. Can you just take a "nail set" and drive the nail really deep and then continue? Is there anything wrong with using Plaster of Paris? I've used it for years without a problem. Plus, it doesn't shrink.
You could drive the nail deeper. But you still have to repair the damaged face paper or you will just have another blister. It seems like a lot of work but it's really not. Even if you have a whole room to do it won't take as long as procrastinating and debating about it does. I do it this way because I can guarantee it.
I drive the nail in, then cut out the damage, add screws, and make the repair.
Once you slice away the blistered tape couldn't you just tap the nail in further with a hammer and screwdriver? I figure the screw above and below would hold the drywall in tight so the nail wouldn't pop again?
Can you address nail pops that have pushed out corner tape?
Anyone know what brand and size the nail bar is? The link in the description is broken.
Chuck Norris doin work!
What if there are 50 per room? What is the move? Its probably not economical to fix them perfectly like this. What happens when you hammer and spackle them?
Hopefully nobody asked this question already but do you need to prime those patches before you put paint on the wall
I would prime them to make sure you don't get as much of a "patch" look when you do paint and it dries. I am sure there are other tricks to avoid this on painters videos.
why do you srew in new plasterboard screws?i dont understand??can you just use filler rather than mud?
I've been told that sometimes on ceilings near where they join a wall, popping nails may be an indication of moving trusses, and if so, the nails should be removed and patched and not replaced because they'll just keep popping. Do you concur?
How would you hold up the ceiling?
I do agree
@@erg0centric the wall board holds up the edge of the ceiling board. You have to hang the ceiling first and push the wall board up tight.
