Ezy tape no good o0n timber .Paper tape by far the best ..Have done test myself on easy tape and it breaks at the crack.Get up and back block the crack and paper tape only way .35 years always trying not to have maintainence in the future
A V shaped pop bottle opener works great for opening up the crack.
God I wish I didn't have textured ceilings in every damn room of this shitty house. Imagine having texture and someone saying "yeah just mud it out 3 feet in every direction" at that point I might as well install a new ceiling in the entire room.
IT IS LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO REPAIR A DRY WALL CRACK FOR EVER. Soil continues to shift and the earth continues to move, once you have drywall cracks you will forever have drywall cracks
How do you knownif its plaser or drywall
The work doesn't look that professional, the mud is not smooth
Yikes! That is not how you feather. A sander? omg!
Need some advice on a crack repair in a Sheetrock corner joint. Thank you
This is way too much work to fix the crack in my room and too many things id have to buy 🙁 going to just leave it as is for a few years i guess
I moved into a house where all the tape is falling off around the corners. Should I just reapply to the tape and under Meath the tape that’s exposed?
Its called silicone caulking and paint
I don't understand how tape can help, but I guess it does because it is used for drywall seams too. I do love Durabond too.
I have been doing drywall for over 50 years you are the worst repair guy you are making a job out of it that repair was installed wrong you sand because you don't know how to trowel
What if you have a textured ceiling what the hell do you do?
What do you do if you have textured walks and ceilings?
Great video, thank you!
If it moves it will crack. The laws of drywall
Thanks for the adding a couple of drops of food coloring dye. Very clever and will be really useful for my old and now badly farked up vision. It's the glaringly obvious tips that give me the 💩s for not thinking of earlier. 🤦♂️
Good DIY video. Only wish you had a textured ceiling. That's the art I can't master.
Straight to the point…Great tips… Thank You!!
Gotta mix that stuff!
Been doing this kind of work for 20+ years now and definitely some good tips here like using screws to secure sagged drywall, cutting groove in crack, and setting old fasteners but after that I'm just using paper tape with green lid joint compound. And my 1st coat is like 2 coats because right after I put my tape and pull excess mud from under tape I apply more mud over that and begin my "float" of the bump/joint with my 8" blade. Then couple more coats, sand with angled sponge, dust off and prime with high quality latex primer or use ceiling paint sometimes.
What a big mess for a little crack.
I guess one has to, but I hate making a career out of a drywall crack. 🙂 Seriously, thanks!
Hello. How to fix the cracks between a concrete wall and ceiling, and the cracks between a drywall and concrete ceiling? Impossible to attach pics here but I can attach them if you reply. It’s a condo. TYVM
Excelente video. Thanks master 🙏
Orbital sander gtfoh
we v shape1/4 inch just like welding two thick pieces of steel together.
I’m love how informative an straight to the point your video is, but mannnn… I wish I would have done this before I finished the cabinets and everything under the ceiling. 😂 Thanks though!
Why didn't I ADD the additional drywall screws the first time. Duh
👍👍👍
well done my man. Excellent attention to details that even us weekend warriors can understand 🙂
Durabond is awesome! I always use it for new work and repairs. Thanks!
The left has been kooky for awhile now so nothing surprised me.
Is there a post with the list of products used ?
My God, this is ridiculous…. He has made this into a career.
PLEASE stop using mesh tape. Fibratape.
Man there is gonna be dust THROUGHOUT that WHOLE HOUSE! Clean up nightmare!
Omg! Being a drywall finisher for forty years this is hard to watch. So he did prep it right, he did use brown bag durabond 90 for bedding the tape, so far so good. The wet sponge is amateur. Any high ridges you can just scrape off easily with your 5-6” knife ( pros call them knives not trowels or putty knives). Not sure why he is using bottled water since this is a repair in a finished home. Lastly drywall finishing takes the longest to learn of most trades, if you have ever tried you know what I mean. I give him a B-
Can this work for plaster walls and ceilings? Thank you
