Another recommendation to degloss most paints is either TSP,or TSP substitute. I'm also a journeyman painter. And thats my go to way of deglossing and cleaning walls, cabinets, industrial areas,etc. I'd personally never take the time to scuff walls with sandpaper.

I recommend TSP for wall prep cleaning. They also put TSP it in some breakfast cereals which is peculiar.

Basically clean the walls and and if the paint you are putting mud on is glossy sand it a bit

I'm pretty cheap, but it occurred to me that your videos are saving me a good bit of money through your professional expertise, and I think it's appropriate and right to pay you for those years of experience that you so carefully present. So, thanks!

Thanks Rod! Appreciate the knowledge sharing.

Love love love doing drywall under your guidance! Too bad I didn't keep my high school love letters. They were in Gaelic from my bag piping, kilt wearing guy. Keep rocking!!

I watched this one to see what I might have missed on my current bathroom refinish. Happy to say, I am good to finish mudding this weekend! Also, really loved your United We Stand, Divided, We Fall shirt!

Malt vinegar cuts grease to

Nice Rod, thanks again, all the best to you and your loved ones

I’m trying to decide if I should drywall or just mud over my concrete block walls

I watched workmen put together an outside wall in our neighborhood. It was a sheet metal wall they covered with stucco to make it look like a concrete wall with stucco. I looked at that and said to myself: "that's going to come off". Sure enough it failed within a couple of weeks. Metal flexes with temperature. Same thing with wood or other similar surface. Mudding over it is placing rock on the surface. Any movement of the underlying surface, it is going to crack off.

I have a serious problem and would love your help. I sanded all my walls and wiped down all the dust. I just started priming the existing painted (eggshell) walls with Behr multi-purpose primer. I noticed some bubbles in a lot of areas (areas not freshly mudded). I can take my drywall knife and pull off sheets off if I run my knife under the bubbles. It looks like the previous paint layers are delaminating from the wall. Will an oil-based primer like Zinsser Cover Stain or a shellac-based primer like Zinsser BIN help in my case and re-adhere the paint? I think I'll have the same problem if I use a water-based primer like Zinsser Bullseye 123. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Right away I wanted the vacuum robot. I'm gonna go get some gojo and dilute it for step one. Sir, you are freaking awesome and love how you explain things. It was cool how you included the car (lol) but you gotta remember people like me who are watching you and doing work at the same time are definitely going to be annoyed. We trying to learn not see your hobby! lol, I'm kidding. Nicely done. But seriously haha. Bouta go buy a vacuum now and mud some walls.

Another great video, thank you.

a couple of questions for you, 1) I scraped the popcorn ceiling in a smaller room, came off mostly good. What do you do for like a corner where the paper tape ripped up a little bit on the ceiling part, but not on the wall part? should I rip the tape off and redo on both the wall and ceiling, or can I put some mud behind it and push the paper back onto the wall? 2) also I have a spot where the paper ripped off in tiny little specs, like the size of a ant for each one, but like 20-30 of them within a sq ft or so, its just like little specs that kinda got caught from scraping, any advice there? I am going to repaint the walls and ceiling after, so no worries about that, and I plan on doing a skim coat cause I want a super clean finish. 3) do I need to clean up dust before I do repairs, and do I need to clean up dust before doing a skim coat, and before I paint?

That texture gun you linked in description of another vid has a ridiculously small hopper. You might as well get spray texture in a can for the space that the gun will cover in a full hopper.

Thank you!

Beautiful paint job on your hot rod 🩵🤍🩷

Where’s the link to that vacuum that you showed?

Hey Guy, I have a question about cracking paint. It was caused either from too thick of paint or not let it cure long enough between coats. I've tried sanding and scraping but it doesn't flake off or sand well. I also tried using killz 3 primer that has a shine too it to see if it would hide cracks but was unsuccessful. Could I skim over this and if so what steps should I take? I'm also concerned about recracking. I've even considered paint stripper but was afraid I might cause more damage. This was a popcorn removal project that went well from watching your other videos. Unfortunately I did a bad job on the paint process which has made this so stressful. Would appreciate your input. Thank you in advance!

6:03 You recommend scuffing up especially a glossy surface. What about with Gardz? Sometimes I worry about that when I can feel how slick it can leave some areas. Is that also important to sand or since it is meant for being topped with joint compound is it different?

How do I avoid pin bubbles in my mud when I go over a painted wall ?

Great video again from the best kilted drywall man. Question:After sanding with a radius sander on flat - or eggshell paint knock down walls, use a damp rag to remove the dust? Any other way? The radius sander has a microfiber mop cover. Can I just use that dry or is a damp rag better? Sanding a flat paint wall creates a lot of dust. The nice thing is that using a Wen power sanding pool even takes off some of the knock down texture.

Good news.. My sisters neighbor decided to become a handyman.. And, he is doing drywall all wrong in so many ways.. Soooooo, I'm forwarding your videos to educate him.. But, he is an idiot and hard headed, will still do it his way..

Can you use plus 3 over painted surface?

Video starts at 2:21.

How do you recommend cleaning the drywall after sanding? Especially newly skimmed drywall with a lot of dust. Thanks!

So many sponsors and little content 😠

I’ve got a lapse in plaster wall but it up against a drywall wall. Part of the lath and plaster cracked so I cleaned it all out now I have a gaping hole in the lath and plaster side. How do I fix that? And would you like to see a picture?

I have a Workshop with lots of small depressions on it. The age of worship walls is 21 years old. May I just level the depressions with mud then prime and paint over it?

Are you still in grand junction? We need some help with floors badly.

Nice hot rod!

Watched most of your videos multiple times and have learned so much, but I still have questions. I have 2 projects 1. ba wall; 2 bedroom wall. First, bathroom wall looks to have satin finish. I washed with tsp. I removed old sealant (caulking) where the lower half tiled wall meets the upper painted wall. Left damaged sheetrock where I removed caulking, which I need to hotmud. Should I seal the entire wall with Zinsser 123 before repairing with hotmud? Or should I use an oil based Kiltz primer? (hoping u say water based 123). Second project, I've prepared (opened up) settling cracks in bdr wall (has flat paint) to ready cracks for fibafuse and hotmud. Instead of sanding wall before hotmudding, can I use liquid sandpaper? Then do I need to apply zinsser 123 b4 hotmudding? thanks so much for your help.

What if there's latex paint on the wall??

I have a customer with painted cmu walls. They would like "flat walls" as in a level 5 finish. What is the correct product to skim coat with? I was thinking USG All Purpose Top Coat. Thanks!

I have a wall that when it goes in to the corner it sinks in about 2 inches over a 3 ft span. Can that be floated out even with mud or should I just cut the dry wall out and fur the studs out and put new drywall on top.

Very solid info for drywall rookies like myself

So I've got a question, need some help. So I've got a 1996 clayton 16x80 mobile home with that vynil faced drywall, that has also been painted with what I think is a latex paint. I'm taking out the strips between each sheet of dry wall & mud n tapeing the wall like normal house walls with lots of patches. Now this is not quite half the house more than half the house is getting new dry wall but I've decided to salvage what I can, maybe. The question is what kind of mud do I have to use to tape & patch them old trailer walls with a 10 yr old latex paint job over them. Any help would be appreciated thanks

thank you

Can I mud over painted popcorn ceiling without pre

im Brand new to the trade , just finished my first week of learning and and a little bit of mudding . I know it takes time and practice but any tips for a guy to help him learn how to put mud up properly on a wall?

Can I hot mud over wallpaper and paint if I sand it real good? Would a bond product help it stick on?

What if it’s a house full of stoners sparking doobies all day, Lets just say the rooms white walls are now looking yellow covered in a sticky icky dank resin because from countless clambakes. Would that require cleaning? hypothetically speaking, of course.

All sales, no tips. :(

Too many interruptions
