How to use drywall flat boxes 

Thank you!!

​@@DrywallShorty Lydia I love your videos! I noticed you posted a link for a 5.5 flat box, where do you use it? And what do you use for your inside corners? Thanks so much!

@@racktown1157Sure! A 5.5 is great for corner bead , I have seen people use them on screws but I would NOT recommend that. The boxes all have bevels and you'll wind up applying way to much mud and causing humps on every screw. For angles we use a Northstar 7" angle box with a bent handle and a 3.5" Northstar angle head.

@@DrywallShorty Thank You!

Go over the joints twice in both directions.

20 years non union 11 years union. I've worked with as many as 40 tapers. Boxing day after day, year after year, pallets and pallets and pallets, also big huge 50 gallon blue drums of Hamiltons. And tons of different tapers on zillions of different jobs. And the one thing I can't stand, is when dudes take the springs off!!! I go in the job boxes and take all the springs and put them in my tool box so I always have them. However I do stretch the springs. I like the box to spring back, so it's back when I fill it. Also, without springs it leaves weird lap marks, and mud starts slipping behind the hinge, na, not for me. No one in our union would ever race me. I seriously will blow your doors off. I can also run flats with one hand faster than most dudes use two. 😉

Yes it was a good one. When my business gets a little bigger I'm going to invest on a bazooka and a couple of boxes. I need to learn a little more about the business aspect. I am good at quoting prices of jobs. I call myself Drywall Solutions and More. I need to learn how to give customers a price, and be fair about it. Steve

Nope. Been there done that. The 12 runs out funny on the first coat. Stupid, don't do it. Your better off using the 10 twice. If it's too hard for you. They make a 7 inch box. Use that then a 10 for the finish.

fuck that

Either one is good! Level5 won’t have some of the nicer things the tapetech tools have but you can upgrade individual parts. Level5 has a lifetime warranty I believe and they do stand buy it. I don’t love the level5 angle heads so I would get a different brand for those.

I have a level 5 set goin I. A year and a half had some issues with the bazooka taper but the flay and corner boxes are excellent

Level 5 is junk just look at it you can see how cheaply made it is and the adjustment for mud looks even worse listen to your dad northstar is good to.

Northstar multi one

You could open the back and pack it with mud but you would be doing that constantly and it would be a mess. Their are box filler attachments you can get for compound tubes if you don’t own a pump.

Push out all the mud .Then open up the clips and spray out

the knife was a visual aid for the video there hero.
