How To Tape Drywall

This video is to show people who never taped drywall before, how to apply the compound first over joint, then apply paper tape over joint, and wipe smooth. Tip: for taping walls with butt joints, tape the butt joints first, then when tapping flat joint, the tape will cover ends of tape on the butt, ... Hope that made sense.

Taking way too long to hand tape five feet of joint. Good thing you DO have a bazooka. Plus you shouldnt tape over that gouge on the right side of the video. Should be filled with thick mud and allowed to dry completely

If your so great, then why are you watching a how to video? and if I were to prefill the little bit of rock I pulled off (that the corner bead will cover) I would use easysand.

[lovesomecujo]

There is no reason whatsoever to use easysand on a new construction project. If that is what this video is of, but to each his own. However There is plenty of time to fill it and allow it to dry before tapin and coating the bead twice, maybe three times. I only use it on patches and other quick fixes to save trips to and from the project. And seriously, are you telling me you never get on here and browse videos related to your profession.

Your remark tells me you really don't know what your talking about, because the pros use easysand everyday on new construction.You never heard of HOT MUD...? Dont you know that easysand doesn't SHRINK. If I were to prefill my bad spots with compound they will shrink up and crack, and I will have to prefill the same hole again and again. with easysand or durabond they WILL NOT SHRINK. If you are such the pro, go buy a video camera and start making your own videos.

Thats funny how you say "the pros" use easysand. you basically admitted you are not one of "the pros". Why the hell would you waste the time mixing up easy sand. By the time you have it mixed I would, using ready mix, would have already had a few rooms taped. you want to talk about not knowing what i was talking about haha i looked at your web page. talk about wannabe. most of your videos are of other professionals doing what you wish you could.

I was hanging and finishing board before you were even thought of.

You should just turn comments off if all you're going to get is this drivel.

@lizadfuel - "track" home? It's "tract".

And most of that big hole is going to be covered up by door trim...

Man people are so mean. Tells me they have very low self confidence! Thank you for this video. I don't really care why you didn't fill with easysand, I was impressed with your swift hand and realize, as the other post"ers" should have, that each professional has their technique. I personally enjoyed watching yours. Furthomore, I'm sure you were just making a short video and not trying to teach somone pursuing this as a profession. Thanks!

nice pan,...ROFLMAO rookie

[lizadfuel]

You must be a track home drywaller.. I use easysand to prefill in all my homes... I have some friends who do track work and the do not understand quality work just as you do not.

wow lovesomecujo is a tard..first off it may take a bit to whip up a bucket of bond if u are a noob and cant get it right...also mesh and bond is way quicker athough u probly hate it cause hes right it doesnt shrink and u screw your first coat so bad the need to bring in someone who knows what they are doing to cover the thing for u

Watch the gutter language, Aussie. Youtube is used by CHILDREN too, moron. Your thoughtless criminal roots are obvious. Don't you have a house to burglarize or something?

[LOLDISNEYLAND]

fuck ya you dumb prick. The internet isn't 'english only' and neither is Youtube. There is a multilanguage option on Youtube and some people in countries that have no english speaking background or language schooling standard who go on youtube as well.

I could read both the languages sebastus79 wrote in and his comment was fair and nice. To go to the effort of writing two multilingual comments is much better than you writing "English, buddy". You dumb fuck!! You fuckin silicosis ridden dumbass!
