Drywall Inside Corner Installation and Seam Taping

[ieremia212]

I am very impressed at how well this man knows his trade. It's amazing the difference between what he just did here and what I do as a total DIY homeowner rookie. I just did a small wall to build in a closet and used about two tubs of joint compound. He did twice the job and used like 3 small scoops! Amazing...two thumbs up!

Thanks for the video. Question for you... How dry should one coat be before putting on the next coat? 20 minutes doesn't seem like very long - is the first coat supposed to still be a little wet before putting on the second? Would it be a mistake to let it get too dry like letting it dry overnight? (I'm just trying to do my own house so I'm in no hurry). Thanks.

@md65000 There is a a product called "20 minute compound" that you can recoat after about 20 min. that us contractors use when the job has to get done yesterday. However, you have to be careful that the prior coat has at least set. or you can ruin your previous coat. If not in a hurry, use the regular joint compound and wait the usual 8-10 hrs to be fully dry before the next coat. Overnight is okay- can never be too dry. Too wet is a problem! -PJ

Excellent video. This is exactly what I needed to know about inside corners. I also picked up a time saving tip for covering the screws.

Would the same process apply to the ceiling/wall corner? What joint compound would one use if the ceiling was drywall, and the walls were plaster?

@Ezzequiel2517 Good Question! Same applies to Ceiling/Wall joint. You need to use a bondein agent uch as "plasterweld" or clear Shellac on the plaster wall especially if there is enamel paint on it. Then use any compound.
