Tips on How to Tape and Mud your Drywall Ceiling 

It somehow seems unfair that people who move with such fluid artistry rarely get recognized for their talents. Thank you for sharing.

You made that look SUPER EASY. Which equates to: you've been doing this for YEARS, thru Trial & Error found a Technique that works for you, and have PERFECTED your Method!👍⚡💪🏾

Great video! I love the technique used. I like it more than some of the fancy YTubers use. Can't wait to try it this weekend. I'm doing a huge project and I'm super green so I'm always looking for ways to get better and more efficient.

Fantastic job men, the fella with the beard is poetry in motion. Your method will be used on my ceiling, to create the perfect Matt white projection screen for reflections from my lake and prism rainbows. Therefore, your work shall echo across space and time to the Atlantic coast of Ireland, and will be pleased to send pictures of final results…

Wow, great video. It makes me want to go back tear down what I've already done "wrong" and do it again. I learned how to apply the tape correctly, and squeeze out all of the excess mud before applying the 2nd final coat. Simple technique to help us DIYers. Thank you guys.

I'm impressed, you made it look so simple, I can't wait for the weekend to try it. thanks....

Nice technique and very smooth. Great job Max and Eugene.

Excellent job on taping. My biggest concern is usually either having bubbles or accidentally displacing tapes.

Well done, like a real professional.

They make it look so easy. I have a rental I'm working on on,trust me my work DOESN'T look anywhere near as neat as theirs.😅😅😅

BEAUTIFUL GREAT NICE JOB!!! GENIUSES!! WE NEED TO LEARN FROM YOU GUYS NOW, HOW TO LAYER DRYWALL ON THE CEILING TO NEUTRALIZE NEIGHBORS UPSTAIRS APT EAR DESTROYING, EARDRUMS CONTAMINATING NOISE!!! LOL. GOD BLESS ❤

Nice vid mate. When doing drywall I often give the paper a quick dampening with a garden spray bottle or sometimes dunk it in a bucket of water and squeeze out excess with finger before setting it in and glazing over, seems to come up pretty good, although have to pre cut the tape beforehand a bit oversize.... Picked up a tip from one of your vids you put up a while ago of a guy using a toilet brush to put mud on internal corners, tried it out yesterday waaaaay quicker! awesome stuff mate.

I’m looking for a video on how to tape around the edges of the ceiling, where the wall meets the ceiling. Do you have a video for that?

I always watch these videos after I try it myself and do it wrong, then have to redo it haha. Redoing a closet ceiling that was damaged by leaking pipe.

Awesome talented tradesman…thank you 👍

I have read through the entire thread and found the gap between the ceiling and walls will be resolved with a cornice. How do you finish those spaces between the wall and ceiling if you don't use the cornice method?

Can't hear you over the music

Why didn't I watch this before I jacked up my ceiling 🤦🏽‍♂️

Your way the best max👍👍👍

Nice clean work buddy! Nice.....

Let us know the name of music 🎶 , Cheers 🍻

Nice job, guys!

I'm just curious. Why dont you use a side winder (tape reel)

Quick question, after this you just sand and paint or you will also apply this cement throughout?

Do you have to sand over it after it dries in order to paint over it so no seams are seen? Thank you.

this beat is fire 🔥.. What is the name of the first track?

Regards from Portugal

I like that little step you have. Where did you get that? Great video! Thanks

that boarding job is pretty bad near the ceiling?

Simple love it 😍

enjoyed the video but it was hard to hear with the music and the echo in the room. A mic would have made it better. Thanks.

I have to do the ceiling in a 7x7 ft bathroom with a shower in it. Is the technique the same with moisture resistant drywall and what grit of sandpaper should be used? Also, do you suggest taping the edges where the ceiling meets the wall or doing a crown molding?

why did you hang the ceiling drywall that way? could you have staggerd the boards in a different way?

Thank u 4 ur sharing experience .keep it up!

Heyy buddy Havent had you come up in algorithm’s for a while wondered how you were going Merry Christmas mate

Great video thanks.

I like the veterans way, that my style

How do you finish those spaces between the wall and ceiling? Do you just leave the like that? And put trim on it?

I am doing the same thing. so good!

How do you sand so it doesn’t show thru paint?

dank video famo

What products do you recommend?

Hi there, great vid... Could you help me? I want to tape and joint a ceiling inside a container home... The ceiling flexes by almost an inch along a 30 foot span when I'm walking on the roof for maintenance... Is there a special flexible mud I can use along with tape in the joins that will avoid cracking down the line. Thanks

Helpful video! One quick question....do you mix your own mud or use it straight out the bucket?

Setting mud for tape coat...always.

thank you for your video. where do you buy your platform ladder ? i have just short one. you have a long one. where do i buy it? please let me know.

“Give me some mud stoopit”. Lol

Is it critical to use tape in the corners with the ceiling or even the walls? Seems like caulking would do a nice job if the sheetrock is tight. I am tempted to just use caulking on a small remodel job in my house. What do you think? so...tape and mud, sand, mud, tape, mud to finish, caulk corners. Let dry. Prime. paint. Done.

What do I use for the tape,cornice adhesive or crack filler

Good job

Okay and thanks!😄

Shouldn't the space where the ceiling meets the wall be done first?

in an unfinished garage....is tape needed?..... Or can the sheetrock joints be mudded only?...... Also there will be no paint.,...if that matters

How about those corner gaps. I would of brought it up closer to the lid

There is a spot on my ceiling where it has a inch gap is that still ok to mud over

My tape is coming off on my calling when doing a second coat what did I do wrong.

Every one is different.

Music needs to be louder and more annoying.

It looks easy because he’s using a small scaffold but when you have to use a ladder, slide it and go up and down a few times, it’s a different story and not so smooth.

Thank u👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

What is that tape name?

Very helpful, thank you. 😎👍

Thanks!

do you have to put mud before the taping

great 😃

My neck hurst watching the bearded guy.lol

You are a n artist. What took you 5 minutes ,I did in one hour

Mesmerizing. My house is 124 yrs old and we're patching a hole in the ceiling (after water leak) and there's so many layers of sheetrock and wooden slats, that there's not a flush, level joint anywhere to be found! Lol 😢

can barely hear him talk and you placed music over top?

Just get a dispenser omg so much easier

The music, why?

Job,job,job.....

Is that a paper tape?

Who the fuck hung the boards? Geez.

👍

Please,help me.......

Fire the hangers on that crew. I mean thats way too much to prefill

I live in bahrain...

why dont you use a banjo

So the key is to apply thin layers of Mud huh🤔

Iam painter,give me job....

ربى يقويك

This guy gotta be 7 foot 9

I’m 4.11 reaching is my challenge 😂

Come on now, seasoned veteran would not apply mud like that

hard to hear what you're saying because of the extremely annoying music...unable to watch any more of it. If you're talking, silence is a good background.

Would have watched a video without crappy trap music

If you are going to post videos of mudding/taping at least know what tape to use and where...paper tape is only used in the corners where wall meets wall or wall meets ceiling! Mesh tape goes over all other applications.

Painfully slow.

too slow and use a tool for your paper

Your definitely doing that wrong bro ahah

Tooooo slow

What a joke
