this video shows how to fix and repair a cracked metal corner bead in your house, and then how to do the easy knockdown texture trick. FULL PROCESS Drywall done right. email: sssdrywallservice@gmail.com
@Scott'sSheetrockServices~ Thank you for the excellent video! You did a great job of explaining what you were doing and why. Hat tip for your instructions to nail just to outside of the metal corner piece and also the superior wall tape! I have 3 different outside corners to repair in my house where my dog chewed when she was a puppy. In addition, I have multiple areas where the previous home owners "attempted to patch" nail holes in the walls... in reality they just created obvious texture differences that stand out like a sore thumb. I have a fine orange peel finish on my walls...I was going to use Homax Orange Peel Texturizing Spray as a finish coat, but I think I can adapt your scrub brush "flick" technique. I love a good common sense hack! I will practice it on some scrap drywall ahead of time and get it dialed in. LOL! Seriously, thank you! ~~Christy~~
The ho max water base orange peel can works really well for a fine orange peel texture what I was doing with the brush was a heavy knock down. Just make sure you warm the Can prior to spraying as room temperature it won’t spray well you can put it in a sink of hot water hope this helps
Any tips for fixing outside corners where the metal has rusted? Is it better to remove it all and replace or will removing as much rust as you can and patching work fine?
If you’re to a point of visible rust, which happens almost immediately after you put mud on metal cornerbead, you can tape and float right over it or you can get a spray can of oil base primer and prime it that’ll seal it and then tape and float over that. Much better product is a paper faced corner bead as opposed to metal now but it’s a lot of trouble to remove it. Hope this helps.
What if you have both sides of corner like this showing metal on each side. Is it better to put tape the corner and fold in the middle or use 2 diff pieces of tape?
Plaster of Paris is what I use and I mix with regular joint compound similar to five minute five minute you don’t have to add mud to but you literally only have about 4-5 minutes and I find it’s more porous than plaster but yes it’ll do the same thing you just won’t get as much work time out of it and it doesn’t rake out as easily.

@@scottssheetrockservices im new to this and trying to help a neighbor fix some cracks one is an inside corner where it just cracked through the paint right on the inside of the 90 degree corner. not sure what is behind it haven't seen it in person. Just trying to figure out how best to not make it a huge problem. Might just try cleaning it up and painters caulking it and repaint it. what do you think?
@ If it’s just a hairline crack you can caulk it but if the tape is buckled you need to remove the tape and re-tape sometimes they leave a lot of mud in the middle of a 90° that will crack overtime caulk will last for a little while but not lifetime but it’ll be a temporary fix for sure
Awesome tip as usual! Plus I was glad to see you give thumbs up to FibaTape … I found it a while back and thought it seemed like a great solution! You confirmed my thought! Thank you for sharing your wall working wisdom Scott! ;-) Please keep video-ing… I hope you hit 1000 subscribers soon! I’ll keep sharing your channel.
@@scottssheetrockservices the different types of drywall mud and where and when to use them. Example; do I use a faster setting mud for ceilings and big gaps or can I use regular all purpose on all my joints? My wife and I just bought our first house and started hanging drywall. Before I start taping and mudding, figured I'd check out youtube and I found you're videos and have learned alot in 13 sort videos.. I want to do it right. Thank you
@@insomniac4140 you can use regular mud on all your coats starting with your tape coat then your float Coat than your skim coat you just have to let the mud dry prior to second coating any of it we do mostly repair work now and even when we do big jobs we use hot mud because we’re fast so we can tape and float with hot mud it doesn’t shrink and then it sets up where we can immediately skim right over it but yes you can use regular mud for all aspects of drywall
