That's the best presentation I've seen so far, thank you. Interesting touch, wetting the drywall to be bent into place. And assembling the arches before mounting to the doorway--first time I've seen that.

Cuttings slits on the back with a utility knife would make it bend easier. Just keep the slits a few inches apart. I'd probably call them control cuts. Awesome video.

I’d argue that the slit cutting is easier than the technique we’ve demonstrated

More backing on the bend. The end grain of that plywood isn’t going to hold those screws for very long. Overall I’d say you’d did a pretty good job on that.

A couple thoughts - wouldn't it be easier to just hold up the square sheetrock, set it with some screws, and the saw/router it out? Then you're not dealing with a flimsy arched piece of drywall. Also, spray adhesive helps a lot to keep the flex corner bead in place while getting the screws on.

@sackohammersllc8447 3 жыл бұрын

Sure you could do it that way. We just needed to be conscious of how much dust we were creating.

@sackohammersllc8447 3 жыл бұрын

Spray adhesive! We’ll test that out. As a matter of fact, one of the types of videos we plan to produce are Comparison Techniques and Processes that accomplish the same outcome. So we and our audience can make a determination/choice as to which is best suited. If you have an idea, send it to us and we’ll consider it for a future video!

I fix foam all my beads on these days. Tried every way and foam is a winner, especially on arch beads as your not disturbing the flow of curve with each nail

That wet drywall is going to rot over time. If you make slits in the drywall you won’t have that problem.

@sackohammersllc8447 2 ай бұрын

That’s not true. What will rot? Drywall absorbs moisture from mud and it doesn’t rot. We’re just demonstrating an alternative to the old slit method that saves time.

Why you didn't cut the plasterbords stripe at the back so it's easier to bend it? It's logical it will snap if you force it

@sackohammersllc8447 2 жыл бұрын

Scoring the back is a traditional way of “curving” drywall. This way is an alternative to that method… but if you think about it, it replaces all that scoring doesn’t it?

@ianthompson9058 2 жыл бұрын

Thin flexi board will curve into place easily as an alternative, especially if you wet it. Think its about 4 or 5 mil thick

@terrydudley6860 Жыл бұрын

Question...when you put the drywall over the plywood doesn't it now. Become thicker than the original wall?

@sackohammersllc8447 Жыл бұрын

We failed to show that the internal wood pieces we used were cut down 2X4’s to compensate for the plywood thickness

@archervinis6109 22 күн бұрын

Hi Sir. I want to ask, what material that you using ? Is that a Gypsum board ? And why do you watering it ? Appreciate if you can reply thank you 😊

@sackohammersllc8447 3 күн бұрын

Yes it is gypsum. It’s watered to make it “softer” more “malleable” to bend.

@sackohammersllc8447 28 күн бұрын

What’s the difference if you cut it or break it like we’ve shown? It’s all going to be mudded over anyway.

@tonymazz9912 Жыл бұрын

You were doing fine until you wet down the sheetrock. This holds moisture and eventually Mold . Even when you spackle it, in time you see the spackle turn black or green- that's Mold. So to create the bend, just back cut the sheetrock every 1 inch or so and be carefull not to go thru the other side like this : | | | | | and so on. Then screw it into place in one piece. Nice and easy.

@sackohammersllc8447 Жыл бұрын

Mold occurs when areas are exposed to wet conditions and there’s little to no ventilation. If we use your argument regarding the amount of wetting we used in the video, we’d have to assume it’d never dry. If that were the case then the moisture in drywall mud wouldn’t dry either and cause mold as well. But that doesn’t happen does it.
