Does it matter what order to go in as far as butt joints and tapered joints ,ceilings and corners?
@institches2750

@@brandonloving7873You want to "bury" the ends of your tape as much as possible. So butts first, then tapered, then corners. The corner tape covers the ends of the tapered joint tape, which covers the ends of the butt joint tape. I mud in roughly the same order, with some allowance for whatever is too wet to intersect without ruining previous work. Screws when I feel like it, or fed up with other tasks. It won't ruin anything if you get it out of order, but that's standard practice.

This is really a great beginner guide. Just a few more tips; If you are new to taping or struggle with taping ceiling / inside corners .... use a corner paint roller, fill it up with joint compound and roll it in pretty thick, then apply your tape, always pre fold your tape before inside applications. ... another piece of advice if you do have gaps or even small gaps on your seams.. take the time and prefill with a 90 or 45 min. mud it will set up in the Number time 45 mins...and then you can start taping. Quick-set is really good for filling the broken sheetrock. If you use joint compound or All purpose, curing / drying time (depending on the season) can take a couple of days. There are plenty of vlogs to help you there too. Really try to avoid Green lid All-purpose for medium or large projects.. green lid is for really small jobs. Green A/P is very heavy and beginners will inevitably way over coat, NOT a bad thing. BUT, if you use the Green lid, I suggest you by sweeping compound, because you will be sanding until your arms go numb. Or, rent a dustless sander. ... if you insist on A/P try to find lite weight All-purpose, and don't be afraid when taping, if you think that is enough mud for the tape, add a little more. Think of the tape and mud as paper Mache. The mud acts as a glue for the tape... and one more vital point... Take your time...

Great beginner video Josh. So correct, that after years of finishing, you learn different techniques as everybody does. A lot of the hangers that my dad had they installed the corner bead and would usually use the crimper to get it set in place and then follow up with nails or screws. I have found after over 50 years of finishing that even taking an extra coat of compound and rolling it on, which is also known as glazing. This is a wonderful technique I learned many years ago which saves a lot of sanding. And of course a proper life while standing is the biggest key as well. My dad who taught me as well also said if you can finish a house with a knife fork or spoon and you can do a good job that's what counts. I've always taped with a 4-in knife and then coat with the 8-in then 10 in and then my glazing coat with a 12. The techniques are also different. Like most finishers nowadays use the bazookas and so forth but there's a lot of maintenance to that as well if you don't take care of your equipment. I'm glad your dad took the time to teach you the basics as well. Our fathers are so much alike and at least we both listen and then learn more from that. Great seeing the video and the time you took to put it together. On another note I'm doing much better with the therapy from the back surgery and still have a long road but I'm making wonderful progress. Can't wait to see the next video and I love all your short ones as well. 🔨🔨👍🏻

Thanks David! I know several finisher and they all have their take on it which make it interesting. You have A LOT OF EXPERIENCE! I'm sure how I am doing it here is different than your technique. Yes, 4 inch knife is very common for taping but for me the 6" works. Thankful for my Dad is an understatement for sure! Sounds like you have a similar experience growing up as I did. I researched the bazooka taping tool but I have not used one. Sounds faster! I am glad to hear your recovery is going well. That was a big surgery and you sound like you have a good grasp on the therapy which is huge! Take care David!

Thanks for another great video. I prefer paper-faced corner bead. The metal seems to have fallen largely out of favor, at least in my area. I see it crack often in old houses. A tip for beginners is to shine a light sideways on the joint while sanding. If you see any shadow, you're not done. Keep sanding, or smooth out your edges more on the next coat. Be patient. You may need more than three coats to get a good result.

Hi! A few questions! 1.) After using the green lid mud, letting it dry etc why do you change to the purple lid? Could the green lid not be used for the second coat? 2.) Why is the metal trim only used on an outer corner, but not an inner corner?
@TheExcellentLaborer
2 күн бұрын
You could use the green lid mud for the second coat. We typically do not because it is harder to sand. I will say because it’s harder to sand, it’s a harder mud once it is dry, which may offer more protection. Metal corner bead is not necessary on the inside corner because paper tape is sufficient to make the inside corner. The outside corner could easily get hit by an object and damage the drywall. That is why you want a metal outside corner. I hope that helps!

In my experience, bubbles are more a result of not enough mud under the tape. You can also add more water to the mud. No need to add joint compound on top just to get it wet. Some people wet their tape before applying. I don't. I also find that trying to coat over the tape while it's wet doesn't yield a good result. It doesn't hide the tape like a second coat over a dried taping coat, for some reason. So it just ends up being more passes, which seems like a waste of labor.
