I have a LOT of these in this house I own now. My dad owned it and he should have never done any remodeling. He used Roofing Nails, lol

@vancouvercarpenter 5 лет назад

oh no! For that you should re-screw the drywall about 2 inches from the nail pop and then dig out the nail with a small nail bar. You could use a putty knife or some other thin piece of sheet metal flat on the wall to put under the nail bar as you pry it out so it doesn't crush the drywall. Next just carve out the loose paper and fix it the same as in this video. You could also pound the nail in a bit further with a nail punch after you re-screw but you will still need to carve out the loose paper around it and there is no guarantee that it won't come back. Especially with smooth shank roofing nails.

There's a possibility that they are drywall nails, too. My 50 year old house has drywall that was nailed in place. Thanks for the video, I have a room that has some nail pops that are getting fixed before it gets repainted.

Like many drywall finishing carpenters, he hates to sand. So, when he applies the mud, he puts the right amount on with the correct consistency. It doesn't help to use thinned out mud on a ceiling. You'll look like you came upon a flock of seagulls, and I'm not talking about the band.

@lucarvian 5 лет назад

Great vid. Just a note though, don't always have to remove the screw if it hasn't broken through the paper. Sometimes wood shrinks because it is a bit wet when house is framed and finished, and all you need to do is give it a quarter turn to tighten it up. I never cut the drywall. I simply use the round end of a screw driver and push it in the hole to round the edges into the screw hole so no drywall paper will stick out from the mud once applied. Same idea, but no cutting, less mud and smaller patch. Either way has same results.

@johnnyo6709 5 лет назад

Great video. Very easy to understand for everyone to know how to do the fix correctly. There is a few other ways that screw pops occur . A more common reason is when you have studs that are not level with one another, meaning one is sticking out farther or one is in farther than the others which causes the dw not to lay flat again the framing its self . That a whole separate fix that this fix will not work . Best way I found out is to avoid this stud completely and move to the next stud in line that is framed correctly . If there is a bunch studs with this issue a framer will need to return and fix the issue for the dw guy 👍before you can move on with your dw work .

@tomtalley2192 4 года назад

As a painting contractor for 35+ years, most pops I come across is from the dry wallers missing studs.

@calebstewart6318 4 года назад

@Denathorn 4 года назад

As a plasterer, I find ceilings to be the most prone if the wrong plasterboard is used, many plasterers opt for 12.5mm because they are lighter to lift (Some even use 9.5mm, lazy gits), but, when boarding an oldish building, these boards are'nt strong enough to span hollows in the ceiling due to slight subsistence over the years, and when they are fixed, they "pop" because the board springs back (They are too flexible, it tries to form itself into the hollow, but the board gives up). The ceiling is then plastered/taped, and when the decorator comes along, they push the board up with their roller and... You get a screw pop! This is why you should always use 15mm on ceilings, or even old woodern studs IMO, a lot sturdier, and before it flexes too much, the screw usually goes into the board how you want it too! On new builds, I'd say a 15 or so nail pops is acceptable, boarders are in a rush, conditions of the storage of boards is never great, they become damp, and, well, it is what it is isnt it, much better then a sparky or a water fairy thats wandering about armed with a hammer... They do my nut in! :D

Just reattached the drywall in my living room. It was installed in 1966 and they used nails doubled at each location. I put a screw above and below BEFORE I go digging for the old fastener. This draws the drywall tight to the stud and makes it easy to find the nails. Works with old screws too.

@kevinumbel8383 5 лет назад

Here’s a tip that I’ve had great results with for not having screw pops, take them out. When installing a sheet of drywall make sure you glue your studs properly, run a nice thick bead of drywall adhesive approximately 40” along each stud keeping the glue at least 4” away from each beveled edge. Then install your screws per schedule. After the glue is set up remove only the field screws. Then coat them as normal. No more field screw pops. If the glue is applied properly that board isn’t going anywhere. I started experimenting with this when the lightweight board started being distributed everywhere and screw pops seemed to really become a problem. The modern day glue literally pulls the lightweight drywall ‘around’ the stud ever so slightly and therefore makes the screw pop. This totally eliminates this problem. I only use this for walls and not ceilings as I don’t use glue on ceilings. Hope this helps some of you.

@brandon3514 5 лет назад

There is a third reason you may get screw or nail pops. Here in the northeast our drywall glue is now water based, so it shrinks as it dries, pulling the sheet slightly tighter to the stud, causing the pop. I have done testing to verify my results. I use less glue and more screw now

@prohandyman 4 года назад

Very nicely explained, somewhat of an overkill. We do the same thing as you accept we just make sure that the screw is definitely drawn in and tight making sure that it is still securing the drywall to the stud and if not then the screw has to be relocated to a new spot and drove into the stud without busting the outer paper layer. Usually what we do is, with the butt of the plaster knife we hit the affected area to depress the area around the screw slightly from the rest of the drywall creating a shallow depression that the plaster will fit into. Then we apply only 2 coats of hot mix. After dry then sand smooth to wall and spot prime.

Third cause for screw pops, Mattamy builders used steel stub screws in wood studs. They don't have a sufficiently deep thread to hold in wood as it dries out. They built a whole subdivision like this, including firewalls in semi-detached and townhouses.

@cottydry 3 года назад

I love your videos!! One additional tip is to make sure your new screws are going into studs. In my experience some screw/nail pops are the result of the original drywall installer missing the stud and thus not grabbing any "meat" underneath. Don't assume you'll hit the stud going vertical with the pop. Use a stud finder or whatever method to located the stud when you replace the screw because it might need to be offset. (ie don't assume!!!) I've also found that when repairing pops, you might generate some new ones by sucking that drywall panel back to where it belongs.

OBNOXIOUS DEFECT #2- The older your drywall is the more texture/orange peel you will have. You have to take a foam brush with paint on it and tap the smooth area that has just been created. This will give it some texture you can build the texture to match the more you tap the flat side of the brush, not the tip. If you just roll the entire wall again you will see shiny smooth spots when looking down the wall with a light source or window at the other end. Once you are done matching the texture then roll the entire wall.....perfect!

Cause it's a pain the ass. You need a hopper and squeegee and skill to do it. Its not worth buying that equipment for a tiny job plus it takes skill.

Great video, a nice trick i learned working commercial maintenance is to keep a spray can of kilz primer handy and give the spot your about to hit a quick spray. it will keep a barrier so the moisture does not get sucked out to bad causing the shrink and it will give the mud something better to grab on to.

Hello great videos man u have the heart of a teacher!! If I may trouble you.....How do you truly gauge recoat times??? Here in Wisconsin with old homes having poorly insulated walls , weather doing patch or other type of drywall work..for that matter, using say durabond 45(I assume would be what your calling quick set??) how tight you running with second ,and third etc.coat past the 45min mark or what ever (time type mud)?? I recently did a patch and purposely gave it a extra 45 cuz it looked wetish not sticky (coldish wall ..20's temp outside,poor insulation I presume) and came back at end of day for top coat(4hours or so) was working outside , anyways and had a peelish area, customers home was probably upper 60's or so temp. (Farinheit)I removed loose and redid it, also had a fan on it too. Hopefully this makes sense I didn't wanna type a three page question!! We do very little Drywall work, but because of your videos I honestly am thinking about subbing out less and keeping more in house! :) Thanks man Wayne

@vancouvercarpenter 5 лет назад

It might have been the mud. I have only had mud not set within the set range a few times. Temperature will affect it a little but not by hours. Foe example 60 could be more like 90 at the worst. I couldn't tell you exactly what happened but I would say try a different brand if you can.

@akdrywallguy60 5 лет назад

Hey Wayne, the biggest culprit that I've seen with setting type compounds is adding too much water to the mix. That stuff should be thick for most applications. Like thick enough to stress your wrist when you're using it. It shouldn't have much to do with the temp as long as you keep it above freezing (which if you're not doing, you shouldn't be doing drywall work at those temps). If you're going to get into doing your own small drywall and repair work, check out the Drywall Doctor on youtube. He's a goofy guy, but man, he does know his stuff and has a ton of info out there to check out. He does run automatic taping tools for the most part, but you can replicate auto tools with knives and a pan just fine. Cheers man!

@@akdrywallguy60 Thank you too!!! The consistency was good, I was concerned about temp ......uh..... I'll be honest😄🙄 Basically .....well as a younger man doing some home repair to my own house(didn't have RU-vid) being completely clueless (I did as I believe all of us may have ,rookie errors) did wet on wet ,very heavy coats,unclean walls etc but never cold though ...and i never had a peelish type problem. Some of my repairs in my own home are going on their 13th year and look great. no cracks , peels etc. When I moved in I had screw pops , cracked corners and falling off corners etc.(still repairing as they surface I may add) that a paid Drywall guy did prior to me purchasing this home, guessing with in 5 years after work. Im also guessing he didn't use durabond!?!? Not sure but Anyways.... I used blue top all purpose and let dry a couple days before prime as I had no idea about quick set stuff. So...... presently I'm glued to you tube to learn correct procedure and speed technique using quick setting type muds etc.to ensure that I don't have problems and to finish quickly ,so I was bummed to have to redo that patch. So thanks to you guys who take the time to do videos and respond (Greatly appreciated) so guys like me can learn and pay it forward!!! And yes Dr. Drywall dude is a trip too have been watching him also!! Thanks Ak drywall guy Merry Christmas Wayne

@MrPLC999 3 года назад

I don't know...I slap the all purpose on, sand it when it's dry, slap some paint on, and it's done. Nothing ever shows up later.

@femineity 5 лет назад

Wow...I always thought that the bumps (aka "skew pops") were caused by someone using too long a nail and it was poking threw! This was VERY helpful! I can fix these issues myself before I sell my house! Thanks for the video!

I thought that only nails did this because vibrations caused them to pull back out of the wall. It disappoints me to learn that screws can do this too.

@Bloodstreamful 5 лет назад

They cant only nails

@four4four636 5 лет назад

furley whoo screws do this too read the comment above yours. With ceilings Its not unccomon for a piece of drywall the circumference of a nail head (where the nail has been nailed into the rock) to fall off from the ceiling years after installation as well although this doesn't happen with every home and this only happens with nails. Screws DO pop and buldge out just like in the video IF not sunk properly

@Bloodstreamful 5 лет назад

@@four4four636 I've been in construction for 35 years I've seen nails do this thousands and thousands of times never once have I seen a screw do this. Unless it wasn't screwed in deep enough in the 1st place

@four4four636 5 лет назад

furley whoo how can you say screws dont do this and you saw it in the video with your own eyes. Screws do this especially if there is alot of resistance in the rock i.e. a bowed or unplumb wall or a ceiling, its called a nail pop but its not exclusive to just nails. Ya know like how you can toenail a screw but its not actually toenailing.
