I'm a drywaller and have been curious about trying this method for awhile. Did you try the roller method and did you prefer it? Some of the guys I work with have kind of dismissed the idea and gave reasons why they didn't agree with it, so I'm on the fence about trying it. It seems easier than applying the mud with a drywall knife or trowel tbh

I was a USAF wife for my husband’s 30 years-we just hit 39 years of marriage. He was gone so much flying and deploying, I had to teach myself how to fix everything.

I wish I’d known this process in 2014!

Watched a couple of your videos and applyed it to my own home. My skill level skyrocketed because of you. Thank you again. I have a very hideous ceiling texture which I absolutely hate. Plus I have vent holes from the previous air condition to cover up. Going for a smooth effect. Looking great so far. I am located in South Louisiana

Great video, a technique I hadn't heard of. I am a DYI that has to get done quickly and cannot get a contractor in because they're all booked out for months. My house has an old vaulted ceiling with two layers of texture that's starting to fall off the drywall paper, which started with just bubbling. It didn't take long to realize that I'll need to pull it all off and apply a couple of skim coats before I retexture it. I have limited time and am hoping this technique will be a godsend. I'll let you know when I'm done.

I guess with more practice I will get the hang of it. Thanks for the help. You don’t have to skim coat the whole ceiling if your just getting it smooth to paint.

Well I wish I'd found this channel a lot sooner lol! My current drywall project is mudding and eventually painting a sheet of 4x8 drywall in my ceiling. Turns out that my bathtub plumbing wasn't up to par - a couple sections of pipe weren't even glued. It was only when I replaced the rotted-out bathtub drain to replace it that problems began. So got down and cleaned up all the sodden drywall, had my buddies (former contractors) glue the plumbing and put up a new slab of 4x8 for me. I've done lots of mudding and painting already so have all the tools and knowhow. But I sure didn't know about easing off the corner of the knife to get rid of that stupid line which I always get! Though I am too far along in my project to switch to the roller technique, I will definitely keep in mind. Thanks so much, nothing quite like watching a pro at work! 🙂 ETA one bugaboo I always have...those stupid little corduroy like ripples. Drive me nuts.

Here’s the video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xLWTldTAMC0.html I like using the green lid all purpose joint compound when going over textured or painted surfaces because it has a lot of glue in it.

@anothergamingchannel2656 11 месяцев назад
Idk depends on what texture you're doing. Skimming blades definetly help but I've done jobs for people who have attempted to use them and still butchered their job. The thing about drywall is it takes practice. It's not something just anyone can do and have it turn out great in most cases. I've rarely seen homeowners work turn out to be as good as ours. Although it has happened at least once in my career, but it took the homeowner months to do what we could've in less than a week. It was a level 5 smoothwall though in their defense

Undoubtedly the stains on the old part of the ceiling will bleed through the new drywall mud. At some point a stain killer will have to be applied. Any time I remove a texture I do this exact thing. On new ceilings/drywall I glaze the ceiling with a much thinner mud and then spray 1 coat. Painting ceilings with a semi gloss, satin, or eg-shell is a no go. These sheens will highlight all imperfections. Great video.

Just bought some tools yesterday. Gonna try my hand at some repairs on my ceiling in my garage. I sure like this idea of using the roller to get the mud up there. Seems like it would save some shoulder work. Great tip 👍🏼

A DIY lady 65+ with a couple of ceiling repairs: 1. water damage in kichen and 2. an ugly crack in LR where someone in attic must have stepped through. Also want to flatten out LR stomp texture but whether I'm up to that job is questionable! Terriffic videos. You are a super teacher and pleasant to listen to. Thanks.

I’m a building maintenance supervisor for 8 years now and commercial HVAC tech for the 15 years before that. Also a DIY guy. I sucked at drywall until the job I’m at not. Trial and error changed that and I’m pretty confident now. Had water leak and damage to my basement ceiling at home and was looking at texturing videos to get it back to normal now that everything is fixed. The Sheetrock I replaced was basically an entire 4x8 sheet. Going to skim coat and re texture. Thanks for the guidance man👍🏻subbed. #drywalltube

I'm a DIY homeowner. I live in Florida and I have faulty AC ducks that drip water in my ceiling. I have cracks on the tape line and discolored on other spots. I'll be replacing the AC ducks and then fixing the drywall myself. I can't afford to hire someone so I do what I have to. Great video.

Hey Paul - DIYer here getting my hands (and arms, and clothes, and everything) dirty in my first ever drywall work. Badly damaged drywall in my finished attic that needed new tape on most points and a full skim coat. I got the first coat done on all of the walls and am about to get working on the ceiling. I'm not as good as you (obviously!) so I'll be sanding after the 2nd coat and spraying orange peel texture then too. Thank you for the tips!

I'm a DIYer. Took out some non load bearing walls in our master bedroom closet to open it up and had an electrician put in some can lighting. So, I'm planning on skim coating the ceiling in there.

Thank you Paul. How long did it take you to get better at skim coating ceilings? When you first started out did you have to sand?
@abacab87
@abacab87 2 года назад
I've started doing this on everything. Walls, ceilings, etc. I think once I get some experience, it will be just as fast as just doing the seams, and I have a better end product. Putting the paper tape on is what slows me down.
