These instructions also include placing the mud on the trowel and hawk as well as applying it to the wall.This clip is the 1st one in a series of clips to follow.

Thank you! Everyone might have different tools and techniques but we all get the same results. The goal is to have a happy client.

@iceman168888 Your welcome! I wish you success.

nice work but why don't u use a 4" knife to apply the mud and an 8" to wipe it out? That big hawk applies more mud than necessary and that leads to more sanding.

@jyambor I don't sand at all between coats. It doesn't matter what you use for tools as long as it is clean and you end up with the same results as someone who uses a trowel to tape drywall.

Thanks for this level of detail and technique. As someone who is learning, you have raised the bar for me!

@MrNSBianchi Thank you for your feedback. I'm glad I could help.

Why would you use a small knife? It's too slow bc you cant load up as much mud and you can fill the whole rebate quicker with a big knife/trowel. Good job dude

There are many different tools and ways to achieve your drywall taping goals. As long as the end product is smooth and flat, it doesn't matter how you do it.
