thank you for taking the time to answer questions in the comments, clarified why to use tape and not caulk etc. much appreciated knowledge, subbed

You are so welcome!

@skovieldboross50 Год назад

Very good idea, thanks.

@samershammers Год назад

So nice of you

@Danthemanfromny Год назад

Yeah! Thats a good one. You communicate more wordlessly. I do have a stupid question. Why not caulk. I have a lot of the same looking gaps but next to windows, same thing? Can I use mesh tape instead?

@Aspire198 Год назад

I imagine it's because the caulk will peel from the plaster

@samershammers Год назад

you can use the caulk if you have a small crack between the drywall and diferent materials (around the windows or doors) but between the wall and ceiling you have to do same way using tape with drywall mud, if you don't use drywall tape will crack again after few days, (the wall and ceiling will shake when we walk or lien on it . if you use this way it will get fixed permanently

@beverlygarcia6475 11 месяцев назад

I have a small little scene between the ceiling and the wall what can I use to just cover the scene you did not indicate what you were using to cover that seemed between the ceiling and the wall what are you using can you use caulking what can you use mine is just a small little pain seen

@pound6599 7 месяцев назад

Paper tape is better for corners.

@debbiegallagher3179 3 месяца назад

Do you let the dry wall tape dry before you apply first seal of mud or do you apply while tape is still damp.

I’d suggest priming the repair with PVA before painting.

@NCtrucking1 8 месяцев назад

Applying drywall mud to the edges to make it flush and then the sanding part towards the end are you doing that about twice? It looks like you did it twice but the 2nd time you didn’t add any instructions. Just making sure but this looks good

@anaesterhazy631 Год назад

What type material is the tape? I suppose we can't just use a simple sheet of paper?? :)

@samershammers Год назад

drywall tape, check it online(not Mesh Drywall Tape)

@FogoMyYogo Год назад

Can you use spackle instead of drywall mud?

@samershammers 11 месяцев назад

spackle works fine on flat areas but you have to use drywall mud on joints.

@johnm.6349 8 месяцев назад

@samershammers why?

@tracietriplett6055 6 месяцев назад

I caulk with flexible caulk, and it keeps happening. Could this be a foundation issue?

@samershammers 5 месяцев назад

No it's not foundation issue keep happening because the vibration when someone walks or leans against the wall. If you use the tape it would not happen again.

@roseek8373 Год назад

@estebansoto7883 Год назад

Thank you very useful what kind of mud is it?

@samershammers Год назад

drywall mud

@pound6599 7 месяцев назад

He probably used 20- or 45- minute quickset mud, which allows multiple coats in one day.

@winstinwin7650 10 месяцев назад

How long to leave the tape in water before use?

@samershammers 10 месяцев назад

@ValenHawk 8 месяцев назад

didnt show what to do about ceiling texture.

@samershammers 5 месяцев назад

First thank you for watching, if you take a look at the ceiling in every home it already has a small gap on the ceiling between the ceiling texture and the wall you can work on this gap without damaging the texture, you have to take into account every joint in any home has this tape between ceiling and wall or between two walls, without this tape this crack will keep happening because the vibrations, like when someone walks or lean against the wall.

@123Goldhunter11 14 дней назад

I learned years ago to wet the tape to avoid air bubbles. Too bad I didn't have RU-vid in 1974 when I built my first house.

@kevinjohnson5210 7 месяцев назад

@greghight954 2 месяца назад

Please don’t soak paper tape in water. It’s proven to be a problem

@samershammers Месяц назад

if you don't soak the tape then the dry tape will suck the the humidity from the mud, after a while the mud will not be strong it will be kind of like powder, (mud ,concrete ..., it is better to let it dry normally it won't be strong ) thanks for watching

@05w 5 месяцев назад

Now all the ceilings details are missing and you notice where he put a large tape on the ceiling it's not better than before, large tape ain't good for that type of repair..

@Czechbound 11 месяцев назад

Amateur Question : Don't you need to prime the fresh drywall mud before painting, otherwise it will suck the moisture from the paint, which will then flake off ?

@brandonbdl 8 месяцев назад

No , if you use decent paint it doesn't NEED to be primed. However paint doesn't seal the wall as well as primer, 1 coat of primer and 1 coat of paint will look better, and feel better then 2 or 3 coats of only paint.

What dry mud did you used mate?

@samershammers 5 месяцев назад

drywall mud.

@dontblameme6328 3 месяца назад

Should use hot mud instead of all purpose.

@titusmccain597 Год назад

Does the tape mold itself to the texture on the ceiling?

@samershammers Год назад

should be flat down of the tape to stick well , scrape the texture using paint knife (make narrow line)

@DanSohan 9 месяцев назад

Scrape the asbestos off?

@stacyfletcher4158 7 месяцев назад

you didn't fix the ceiling where you wiped away the texture???

@samershammers 5 месяцев назад

@modestofitness-barre4994 5 месяцев назад

No gap that wide. I just figured you would try to blend in or retexture the area you wiped away. There has to be a way to repair that isn’t so obvious.

@sumnimarai6850 5 месяцев назад

Why this crack happen?

@samershammers 4 месяца назад

Because the vibrations when walking or leaning against the wall.

@roseek8373 Год назад

Really you are great 👍

@loreec90 5 месяцев назад

Are you serious…lol this guy is making a mess! If you have a crack in an angle…..caulk it! When you have a heavy texture.

@samershammers 5 месяцев назад

First thank you for watching, The caulk never fix the problem, the crack will happen again (vibration) when walk or lean against the wall, do you know all the wall in your home has this joint tape without this tape you will see the cracks in every joint. About the ceiling texture issue if you take a look at the ceiling at your home you will see a gap between the ceiling texture and the wall. its enough to put the tape on it.

@loreec90 5 месяцев назад

You did not put in screws , you aren’t going to stop movement with mud and tape. Caulking is flexible and if that doesn’t work, check the foundation you may have bigger problems. You don’t need to soak the tape…it stretches more and easier to get wrinkles

@samershammers 5 месяцев назад

@@loreec90 I didn't mean movement, if you have movement you should use screws to fixe it before do anything , I meant vibrations (walking or leaning on walls) This tape is used in new homes(walls are stable and strong) without this tape will see cracks in every joint, In concrete houses, there is no need to use such a tape because it does not move, it is not like wooden houses when some one walk in first floor You feel his steps throughout the house, Simply, I did not invent anything , I installed something it was missing or broken or defect during construction, thanks for watching.
