@@scottssheetrockservices I am a painter. I want to learn as much about drywall as I can because I can't find anyone to teach me. There seems to be a huge lack of skillful and experienced drywallers around my area, and maybe just in general, but you need to keep the videos coming!
I understand both sides. VC has some great insight and techniques as you do. In my experience, I would prefer to come back but more than one way to skin a cat. Turned out great and as long as there are no comebacks scoreboard Southern Style.
I hope to have an opportunity in the future to have a competition with the materials that I use a pan and knife versus his materials and hawk and trial we shall see! He actually had to pull a knife out to get it right LOL
@@scottssheetrockservices yeah I struggled with that trowel and preferred knives 6" and 12" my old age and gave it up years ago. I have learned a lot from your videos and appreciate you guys sharing knowledge.
Awesome video on a small repair where all the tips and techniques can be applied on larger jobs as well. Was curious if your patch mud is only plaster of paris or 60/40 mix with all-purp like in one of your previous videos? Thanks for sharing! 👊
Scott, do you ever counsel people like mewho want to start a drywall repair/patch one man business? I'd be very interested in and guidance/coaching you can offer.
Thank you very much Scott. Merry Christmas! I will send you a note to your email from your website. By the way, keep up the good work with your videos. I've watched hundreds of them and your videos are among the best instructional examples on the net.
Great vid~! Could you show us how you do a 1 day LARGE patch? I have a little trouble leveling the field for large patches (removing old school wall heater units, etc..). Do you use drywall shims to get the patch to the same height, or do you just fill in the field? That would be a great vid for me!
Thanks again for your great tutelage Scott. 🙏 QUESTION: Do you ever use a little Plaster o Paris in your skim-coat or final float mud, so that it dries harder and quicker? I have a 32” skimming knife I’m gonna use to resurface a room to level 4-ish… I’ll roll it on in maybe 6x8 sections and then skim w/ the big knife… I was pondering adding a little PoP to the mud… Is that a bad Idea? What do you think? Thanks again for your wisdom.
no need to add any plaster or hot mud unless it needs 2 coats . When I do two coats of a large area I will use 90 min hot mud (pro form) for the first coat and then regular mud mixed loosely for the final coat hope this helps
Great video ! found it crazy he said you couldn’t do a patch in one day, respect what he does, just don’t agree with that statement. Stay blessed my man 👍
I think I really depends on the level of quality you're going for. The technique he used in this video would be totally fine for rentals etc. But for me coming from more expertise in the painting side and going for high end, especially hot mud just absorbs paint in a weird way unless you let it fully dry. So I don't think it's "that you can't do it" I think it is you can't do it and have it look perfect. So personally I never would. I totally respect this guys information on the drywall side but when he says you don't have to prime and that flat paint is the same as primer I can tell he just doesn't have the expertise on the paint side of things. Personally I think that's fine. Take a guy that fixes up old cars in his garage versus a guy that restores old cars professionally. They're both going to do things very differently but both are pretty valid in my opinion.
You may have addressed it one of your other videos, but why do you use nails instead of screws? I thought that it was generally accepted that nails are passé, or out-of-date, because of their potential to pop loose? 🤔
So we’ve always used nails to tack the outside of the sheets doing new construction and screw the centers, however with patches we’re only putting nails on the seams with the Fiba fuse and hot mud and plaster they will never come out!
