I've used Elmer's glue or titebond wood glue as a sealer before and it has worked pretty good. Just a FYI.

@teeing9355 Год назад

Elmer's glue as a sealer and Pink Spackle work well. If you have a lot of repairs to make, buy all that stuff, but it's overkill for one little tear.

@Mikey__R Год назад

Unfortunately, I've got way more than that one little tear to fix!

@megroo13 9 месяцев назад

Dang! Wish I saw this comment earlier

@justinjones2044 8 месяцев назад

Any kind of Elmer’s glue? And if I have old paint/mud flaking what kind of primer do you suggest will kilz oil based work?

@Stevesbe 7 месяцев назад

If you have 2 weeks to get it fixed sure

@Manny-mq8gm 3 месяца назад

I agree I was thinking as I was watching the video. Why not use a little Elmers glue on there instead of buying a gallon of that other stuff.

@danschenck9442 28 дней назад

I use kilz2 spray prime its water base . binxer is good but the shellack might be too aggressive hence bubble. I hear Elmer's glue wit acid brush works good too I use blow dryer or heat gun to speed up drying. .You can use body filler. with hardner. mix tight wipe. in 20 minutes good and hard, the season in autpbody filler seeps or absorbs in paper. locks in place. and then apply joiny compound over body filler. will stick. light sponge prime paint

@jayjudd6518 Год назад

I done drywall at home and learned that the hard way. Taking those glued back hooks off sometimes will give that problem. He explains it well.

@dante6563 4 месяца назад

@altemose_prime 4 дня назад

Yes, those command strips always tear the drywall.

@15DurangoRT Год назад

The easiest way for me is to cut the paper all the way through and then just use some joint compound. Works every time.

@whyzup6593 Год назад

First...be patient: Prep all your walls initially. The first thing it says on a can of paint? Clean the surfaces!! Then...any (sub) patching: You score w/ a new blade at an inside angle in one swoop. If your not going deeper than paper...be gentle with the scoring. Then use (guardz or ready patch) primer for adhesion and sealing. Hit it twice and smoothly feather with a good 6-12inc knife w/ 20/20 as to get it right. You can sand primer...you can't sand paint Finish with wall schedule paint.

@sunshowerpainting1 Год назад

Elmer's glue works great, too, and is much less expensive than Zinsser Gardz. It can also be applied over wall paper if you plan on painting over it.

@NathanHarrison7 6 месяцев назад

Excellent tutorial. Looking forward to looking for bubbles when I get home on all the patches that I did incorrectly last week. Subscribed.

@rshoe1023 6 месяцев назад

Titebond wood glue works well to seal! I usually have a bottle on hand, so need to buy the expensive specialty primer. Have done quite a few spots thru out the house over the years, and everyone of the repairs is holding up good, no probs! But you are right getting rid of all the loose and torn paper is key!

@NavyCopMA1 Год назад

Appreciate the video... I'm a bit of a drywall nightmare so every little tip helps!

@juliocrespo1544 Год назад

Guards is a water base sealer, water wets the drywall paper and sometimes makes it loose as seen in this video.

@mortimersnead5821 Год назад

In older homes that have been wallpapered, you can spend your whole life picking at it if you don't draw an irregular line with a utility knife somewhere.

@christopheranderson8275 6 месяцев назад

Distilled water mixed with pva glue works great in place of sealer you used. You also need to add some to your hot mud because it lacks the adhesive in those powder mixes compared to premixed.

@dnad1522 Год назад

Once you clean the edges, all you have to do is get a wet sponge wipe the area and the loose paper will pop up peel the bad area's and put down the mud down then you don't have to wait and buy that gardz Try it out

just buy a gallon of this and a 50 lb bag of this and all the stuff to you need to apply it. only $500 at your local home depot that now thinks your a home renovation pro you to can fix a 3inx5in tear. i think ill just get an extension cord and a step ladder.

I went to 4 stores yesterday looking for GARDZ. No one has it. I'll seal mine with something else, oil-based.

@altemose_prime 4 дня назад

Thank you so much. I just removed some Brady Bunch Paneling in my Family Room. They used a bit of adhesive, and the drywall is ripped in a few places. I'll be coming back to this video as my repairs progress.

@themonkeydrunken Год назад

Nice job! Only nitpick: This isn't a drying compound, it's a setting (cementitious) compound. per the manufacturer's instructions, you shouldn't use a setting compound to skim anything less than 1/8" deep. The green lid or blue lid compound would work for that after you sealed the brown paper. Enjoying your videos, keep up the good work!

@jwigley3835 6 месяцев назад

Solid video. Thank you. I just did my first sheetrock job in my spare garage and the finishing work was... not good. LOL. I'm glad I watched this because I have a few ripped paper spots I'll have to deal with and I was originally planning to just put compound directly over it.

@CuttinInIdaho Год назад

I would think it would be better to cut through the paper, angle the edges, and mud it. Is that possible?

@sterlingnorins9236 Год назад

Hairspray. That’s it. Even if the tear goes into the gypsum. Coat it with hairspray from the $1 store , skim w/ hot mud & prime.

@01stockton 11 месяцев назад

What if the gypsum is exposed? What can I do then? Thank you.

@billybike57 7 месяцев назад

Can I use Kilz instead of Gardz? Will it achieve the same results?

@brianc380 Год назад

great vid!! im a painter and do this in hospitals all day long.. ps hospitals has some of the worse walls out there!!

@Bigfoot14000 Год назад

Very good tutorial Nils. I might make one suggestion for future videos of this nature. If the sample wall was painted a more contrasting color to the drywall mud the repair process might be more easily observed by the viewer. As is, it was a bit difficult to follow the work.

@LRN2DIY Год назад

Very true, David. I also could have set my camera to a lower exposure and fixed focus. A darker wall would certainly have helped. This was an actual repair at my mother-in-law’s but I could set up a better demo for next time. I always appreciate the feedback.

@semperfi5861 6 месяцев назад

@@LRN2DIY try using a dash of blue carpenter chalk mixed in with your mud. I do this to keep track of my repairs throughout a rental property or senior living communities. Nice video 👍🇺🇸✌️

@Sylvan_dB Год назад

The Gardz looks like a runny PVA glue.

@tompanek7511 5 месяцев назад

WRONG! Hit it with 3 M - M77 spray adhesive. Wipe the brown paper with drywall knife to lay down brown paper. No need to wait . Then coat with joint compound.

@entropyhead Месяц назад

When removing wallpaper, I get tears like that. I use Gardz on the entire wall, as it helps with sealing any paste that may remain. Then, after I patch with mud, I also re-coat with Gardz. I have found the patched part will have a different sheen if I don't re-coat.

@NikiteshVadhani День назад

Can i just use putty instead of mud?

@rickhenry8760 2 месяца назад

How about using "Killz" asa primer/sealer to treat the damaged area before putting drywall compound on it ? Does that work as well or not ? Thanks ! Great Video !

@nathanmortenson914 Месяц назад

Never had had much luck with those spray cans. They are one time use,don't expect them have pressure on your next job. What may seem as a convenience and a time saver ends up not being. Buy the can make sure it's sealed and it will be ready the next time you need it.

@dennispuleo9575 9 месяцев назад

Good explanation, clear and simple

@-KIMISAFOX Месяц назад

The only thing that dries fast enough is the shellac based spray can. Even the zinser gaurd saturates the paper too much before it dries.

@ItchyKneeSon Месяц назад

Draw-Tite (not to be confused with the trailer hitch brand) is another adhesion promoter for use under drywall mud.

@shure46 7 месяцев назад

good video , and everything you said is true , but I would just use a paintbrush instead of the roller ...... faster , easier , less steps .... the roller is overkill ...... open can , dip brush , seal drywall , wash out brush , done ....

@thaduke4663 23 дня назад

Why is it in the shape of a patriots logo 🤔

@humbledb4jesus 10 месяцев назад

@Just-Jakes 7 месяцев назад

It would be quicker to just cut it a little deeper and mud it. Don't have to worry about the paper bubbling then. Good video tho.

@SpencerWheelock 7 месяцев назад

Would the standard pink spackling work for this? Or do I need the mud? About to rip off a glued on bathroom mirror and I'm dreading the mess it's going to leave behind on my wall.

@southboundtp2067 Год назад

I NEED HELP bad? I want to replace a one piece vinyl or plastic tub surround with a 5 piece tile like plastic or PVC surround which consist of 3 wall panels plus 2 corner caddies. . . The existing one piece tub wall surround seems to only be glued to drywall behind. I'm sure drywall paper will be torn from the drywall during removal but what should I use to fix/patch the torn paper areas and lastly what type of adhesive should be used to stick the new wall surrounds to the drywall 🤔

@musicalintuition 7 месяцев назад

As a DIY, can I just use wood glue for sealing? Trying to avoid buying products when only using once.

@Edna-p5g 8 месяцев назад

What about priming with caulking? I did that in orevious job, just spread it with my finger.

@themaddrummer8341 6 месяцев назад

Sealing/priming the brown paper is a great tip! I didn't in a spot, then put peal and stick faux tile over it, you can SEE the brown! Oh well, live and learn. You look tired man, gotta find some time to relax!

@steverid 2 месяца назад

A pint of cheap "Sanding Sealer" works the best.

@fairamir1 Год назад

Ill stick to my lightweight spackle...the pink stuff...

@frankvee Год назад

The lightweight stuff is actually much more difficult to work with, especially if it’s not a minor repair.

@Nick-hb7dg Год назад

Cover the area with fiberglass mesh tape. Coat several times, overlapping each time, each coat thin down muscat little more than tge previous, sand with 150 paper. Cheaper, and easier

@aliyahu76 27 дней назад

You're accurate with the gardz use, however your mudding skills suck. Use the 5 minute small amount and pull it tight. Do this 3xs and minimal sanding is needed. Btw: 28 years experience drywall and painting

@chipcook6646 28 дней назад

Primer that is not water base.

@ANTinNYC Год назад

@melaniebassa 2 месяца назад

Thank you, the sealing part is what I would have missed

@firstmkb Год назад

I noticed the spray product said Shellac, which is one of my favorite finishes and sealers. Dry shellac flakes last forever, then you dissolve them in alcohol. It dries like the wind, and water doesn’t dissolve it. Finish repair is easy with alcohol and another coat of shellac. Very eco friendly too, as is is actually made from the shell of the Lac bug. It isn’t as strong as polyurethane, but fantastic for a quick finish or something you’re going to paint. I’m using it outdoors as a sealer on old Masonite siding before repainting, because I noticed the commercial “rotten wood sealer” acted EXACTLY like shellac. Did I mention cheap? I bought a pound of flakes on Etsy for $16 plus shipping, and it will last me years.

@societylost4344 Год назад

I used carpenters glue for years before mudding. It seemed to work great but yeah new products out there for this are needed so people know they need to seal it first.

@napa7m115 Год назад

You kinda look like the "iceman" formula one driver Kimi Raikkonen.

@attilajuhasz2526 Год назад

Great technique, Nils. I've just learned about the sealing product. Perhaps next time, patch a wall which has a dark colour so the contrast will highlight the "feathering" of the bog compound. Greetings from Down Under!

@jimbendtsen8841 Год назад

Good job. I use a 5000k light to sidelight the area to throw harsh, strong shadows for sanding. If it passes that, it's good. Non water based sealer works best. Shellac based or even spray on varnish works too.

@brianwoodard82 6 месяцев назад

Can I get a small amount of sealer somewhere? I can only find gallons. I just have a 6 inch area I need to fix. Any help appreciated… thanks

Ahhh. The spray on texture that matches the other surface is key. I had no idea this existed! I always hated how the sanded areas were smooth & the remainder of the wall had a texture. Will be buying this today! Great process & tutorial...

@nathanmortenson914 Месяц назад

All new houses use Level 5 (smooth finish) it's more initial work, but it's easier to match the repair. Matching the last guy's pattern or texture isn't always easy without looking patchy.
