I'm impressed and just learned something new. Seems to the simplest way to do it, outside of cutting that area out and replacing the drywall. Yeah, I like your way. Keep that good content coming.

@dearjah4321 2 года назад

A quicker fix, albeit not as good as yours, is to paint the filler caulk the same color as the wall. It instantly becomes 80 percent less visible.

Thanks for sharing. I've been a builder for 30 plus years and I enjoy watching everyone's different technics, etc. It looks great. One thing I would mention to you viewers is to MAKE SURE you are using a vacuum with a HEPA filter so you won't have drywall dust everywhere. That's a mistake you only want to make once. Lol. You should be able to put different tips in you hopper also to make different size texture for that or knockdown, etc. Just a few ideas and don't want anyone having to wipe down every surface in the house almost. Thanks again for a great video and I really enjoy watching people that take pride in their work. 👍

~5:23 mark, always clean off the excess mud with each pass, this will help prevent those lines being created at the end of your spatula/knife, requiring another pass and losing more mud. It also will help cut down on the sanding. Great video, keep ‘‘em coming!

@Debbyiamme 2 года назад

I love it; I actually used this technique in my home years ago and men told me it was wrong. I said that it looks better so I'm going to finish it this way. One thing that I did wrong because I had never done construction work before was I waited for it to dry before taking the tape off and it did pull some of my work off so I just filled that in with joint compound and finished my job. My job was done before home computers were out and common place. But even the construction worker who saw me doing this job and then saw my final result told me how nice it looked and that he was going to use it, as well. Thank you so much for your video; it gives me confidence as I'm fixing up our new place. I'm in my 60's now and will need help but they've got to follow my lead. Anyway, my help isn't experienced that much. Mainly need the help for the muscle work. I will call in professionals for things that I'm not confident with, though. I'm not that confident. LOL, Thanks again.

@FixThisHouse 2 года назад

Thank you so much for the meaningful comment! Yes there are many ways to do things especially cosmetic work. Not everyone is going to agree with a certain technique and yes they might be right on it being easier to do one way than other, but at the end of the day it’s what’s best for your situation and what you think looks best. I did learned about the tape thing the hard way too when I use to do insulation work, to always take off the tape while everting is still wet. Thank you again for the meaningful comment and I wish you the best on your future renovations! Thank you and stay Safe! 🙏🏽😊

@xzilicpython233 2 года назад

I caulked my gaps. Winter rolled around and the humidity changed caused the caulk to crack. Not using caulk again and going with this method instead. I don't have textured walls so it will be much easier. Thanks for the tip!

@Pidea14 2 года назад

Lucky you don't have textured walls!

@petek2316 2 года назад

Nice technique. By the way, instead of sanding the compound you can use a moist sponge, I found that it works well without all the dust.

@eytrix Год назад

i've felt the sponge doesnt offer the control of material removal that a sanding pad does.

@kevinconrad2250 2 года назад

You just turned a 30 sec paint touch up into an hours long drywall repair requiring hard messy sanding, texturing and repainting. Just mask off the trim and paint the excess caulk to match the wall color it will keep the sight lines for both the wall and the trim looking great. We only have a finite amount of time on this earth, don’t waste it.

@kevinconrad2250 2 года назад

Also, you just created a very noticeable texture mismatch for that entire wall section, if you are gonna go to that much effort you should skim the whole wall and retexture the whole wall, that texture mismatch in my opinion is way more noticeable than the previous 1/8 inch gap.

In total agreement here. When he showed the picture of what caulking the gap looked like, my first reaction was, "it's really okay. Just paint the wall."

@Bauer247247 2 года назад

Personally, I just take the trim off and get it out of the way. Mud the entire void including behind where the trim goes, and then texture it. Depending on the size of the wall, i’d either just overlap it onto the previous texture about two feet or just re-texture the entire wall. Also, after the mud and texture dry, I like to throw a little rx-35 to seal and prime it for paint, otherwise that mud will just absorb your fresh paint and will look different then the rest of the wall. The trim too could end up sucking up some of the moisture from the mud and become ruined. IMO, if you just put mud above the trim and whatever falls behind it, you’re just creating another problem to fix later on down the road if you ever decide to change the look or size of your baseboard trim.

@FixThisHouse 2 года назад

Thank for you’re advice! Yes I do agree you can just take off the whole trim, but not everyone has that option, but I do appreciate your knowledge and advice! 🙏🏽

I have some larger gaps between the baseboards and floor tile. Your videos are great!! Keep the content going, easy to understand. Thanks!👍🏽 Just found your other video explaining this. 👍🏽

@TheMcChesneys 2 года назад

I understand your idea. My initial thoughts are the touch up sprayed wall sticks out like a soar thumb even though you did a close up shot it really sticks outs to my eyes. Maybe an untextured wall and you could get by. Another issue is if you ever need to remove/replace that piece of trim. you will have completely repair the wall again and your stuck with using the same height or taller trim piece in the future. I would have removed the trim piece and repaired the wall lower to the floor. I prefer 2 other options. The reason the caulked results looked bad is because it was caulked up the wall a little. maybe used a finger to push it the void and it ended up cupping the caulk job. Try removing the caulk and use painters tape to the the fill in that small gab. You may need to reapply if it shrinks to much. I prefer cut to the back of the trim piece every quarter inch in the area that has the void to allow the trim piece to conform the that slight gap. These issues arise because the sheetrock/plasterboard contractors should have feathered the outside corners a minimum of 24 inches.

@heathermontville1702 2 года назад

I use loctite adhesive to get rid of the gap. It doesn't shrink like caulk and it actually grips the baseboards or trim to the wall. Easy to apply and takes literally 2 minutes to fix.

@A_Dying_Breed 11 дней назад

I was looking for a quick fix and I found a two day project in this video. This might be a good fix if it's the only section in your entire house that's messed up, and you're really good with mud. I can tell more of a difference with patch job as i could the caulk lol

@FartTruster 2 года назад

For texture patches. Try spraying some test spots on some extra masking/plastic. Getting the mix right is the most important for blending patches then just play with your orifice size and air pressure. For patches alot of times I'll do two coats. One to just initially fill the patch and a second to cover the entire wall/ceiling to blend everything together. Definitely takes some practice 👍

@garethbarnes2628 2 года назад

Good fix!😁👍 I deal with this alot also. As another alternative l generally check the other side of the wall as this is a framing issue, if the other side is open you can shim out between the stud and the back of the drywall & that will bring the drywall & baseboards together nicely. If it's not open on the back side l will pop the piece off and loosen the bottom drywall screws and lever and shim from the bottom keeping all my work below the baseboard level as to not be seen after reinstalling the piece.This method has not failed me in over 20 years of renos & restorations. Hope this helps & that l explained that well enough. Happy New years @Everyone 😁

Unfortunately most customers don't want to pay for additional work when they're already paying a 10-15k flooring remodel throughout the whole house. Sometimes you just have to shove some cardboard in the crack and caulk it 🤷🏼‍♂️ I wish customers had unlimited budgets to things the right way, but I've found more often than not, they don't.

@gme10955 2 года назад

The reason there's a gab in the baseboard is because the drywallers used metal cornerbead which flares out the outside corner. Better to use mud on bead which lays flat against the walls.

@josemendez7939 2 года назад

I rather put caulking looks good rather than wasting all that time and doing all that work and wasting all that money and no one is going to be looking at the ground most of the time plus im sure theres more defects on the eye level and also the texture of the wall eventually ends up looking worser with a patch on it since ill be really hard to match it even if youre a proffesional at it i would rather have a gap where its hard to be seen than a patch that will get your eye attention but again thats just me and im into art and work in construction.

okay, as for a diy'er, this is a decent video if you don't want to rip trim off. But 99% of the time I'm taking the trim off. Also, anytime you're adding compound to an already textured wall, always use a wet sponge and feather the edges. I usually do that when it's about halfway dry. I've always found doing it when it's wet I mess it up more. Everyone is different, that's my way. The texture that was on the wall, vs the texture you added are different. So in that case, I would've just taken a scraper, knocked all the texture off, and retextured the whole wall. You've got a thick texture vs a thin orange peel. Good work, but that's going to be an eye catcher.

@@FixThisHouse no problem man. I always like to see different techniques. i just have a rule of thumb, if I'm putting texture on the wall, i never do a small spot. You'll ALWAYS see where you fixed it. you're probably going to paint that whole wall anyways, I would've just textured the whole thing. An hour of work saves a lifetime of headaches.

I am no professional so this may be wrong, but what works for me is multiple thin coats. So I use fast drying mud and di very little sanding. I made the mud thinner and thiner as well. So thinner mud and thinner coats. The first coat does most of the build up and the next coats fill in voids and imperfections of the previous coats. Doing that I also don't work it near as much as you were because I am nit trying to be perfect in any single coat. I'll end up doing three or four coats sometimes more if I am having a bad day. I have smooth walls so maybe that makes a difference in how I do it too.

@darrenwilliams7741 2 года назад

Lot of work for a temporary fix. Proper way is to use foam spray fill the gap then just caulk along the top easy as that, this way will just crack again due to movement and flex and any knocks against the base board plus any shrinking of the caulk will just fall back down the gap.

@@ittybitty_caribou8697 clue is in the name expanding foam spray, caulk is a fine filler that you will then put on top after you cut foam back and sanded. Personally I won't use caulk I would use a different filler like Powder one that you mix with water as the caulk is to fine in my opinion.
