hi Bill from sunny essex in UK! thank you so much for this brilliant and easy to follow video - I am a 62 year old woman with no DIY skills whatsoever lolI but watched it yesterday and within the morning had successfully and professionally patched a hole cut in the ceiling to repair a shower leak. tremendous feeling of accomplishment and family impressed! now feeling empowered to tackle skimming over its ugly 1970s finish, hope you have a video for that! thanks again you are a legend

Great video Bill, clear and to the point. Btw, just call it plasterboard, the Americans will figure it out and you are promoting Aussie culture as a bonus. Thanks heaps.

I'm American and plasterboard was the first tf thing I ever used. We have that here you know. Plaster board and Drywall are different products altogether but do get lumped in all together as "sheetrock". Just different applications.

Thanks for this DIY tutorial. I’d add that people should be very careful cutting through the ceiling to not accidentally go through any hidden cables or pipes up there.

Regarding wetting the tape; my Dad (now retired) was a drywall taper for almost 50 years, he sometimes used the tape dry exactly as you did it, but when he was doing joints, he would use wet tape, but not like the guy in that video who seems to just soak the tape in water in a bucket, my dad had a box that was filled a wet cement mixture, on the back of the box was a place to hang the roll of tape, the tape was then fed through the box in a little slit, and pulled out of the other side of the box from another slit, and when it came out the other side it was soaked in wet cement and slapped onto the joints, then cleaned with the trowel. My Dad made this box, so did most of the other tapers.

Plaster sheet is on very old buildings. If it doesn't have drywall. For those that don't know. I do it the same way, but I drill two screws on the wood for leverage. Then screw the outside and unscrew the ones off the wood. Good job brother. 🔥👍🔥

Bill I love your tutorials!, as a novice DIYer I would love to know more about the products you use personally. For example your first 'rapid set' compound was different to the second and third compounds you used, looking on various hardware suppliers websites at say the gyprock range of product there appears to be multiple compounds that can be used to achieve the same results however I myself get myself caught up and consumed with which one is better and why.

Great video. I know you're concerned that people will correct you on what you called drywall. May I suggest you just call it what you like to call it in the beginning and let people know that's what you're going to call it. If they don't like it, too bad. If they're making a big deal over what you call drywall, they have a bigger problem than a hole in their ceiling. Keep up the good work.
