Tip from a female. Use a sanding block. If you just use your hands, you are going to get dimples and rises. Start with a higher grit and lower it to about 240-360 depending on the finish you want and when it's close to level sand past the area to at least twice the surface area so that any imperfections blend. Clean the area well and make sure it is dry before applying paint - any area you think will be touched by paint so you don't pick up dust which can cause clumping. Do a few coats of paint so you get the 'not new board' effect and it blends better with the final coat.

When he said that at the end i subscribed, dude is honest asf and teaches useful shit no bs. Respect

The aggressive winks at the end are just 🤌🤌

Pro Tip: before you begin your repair gently peel away a decent sized piece of the material with paint on it so you can take it to Home Depot or wherever and have them color match the paint. You're already patching it and it's no harder to patch it with a little bit more of the material gone. If you are not patching something up but do need to color match the paint, same thing, but just cut a little piece out of a corner somewhere patch it and then paint that when you get your color match paint for whatever it is you're trying to do touch-up painting with.

I use all purpose joint compound and you can hold the scraper as a 90° angle to scrape excess off easily. Done it for a long time now and it works great

man is out here single handedly saving my 20s

Sanding tip! Close your eyes and feel with your hands only so you can tell how much of a difference in texture there is.

Thanks dad, I needed this

I love that you are teaching life skills. So many have NONE these days!

The sad *wink* did it for me 😂

This is a great demonstration of drywall mud. Just a few things. 1) if you see cardboard texture stuff make sure to apply GARDZ before the mud so that the mud can form a chemical seal to the fiber. Alternatively, just gash it past that cardboard texture stuff carefully and apply it to the drywall directly. 2) Make sure to wear a dust mask and vacuum it up, that stuff is pure silica dust. 3) Before you paint it you need to apply primer otherwise the mud will show through the paint and the paint will come off when the moisture changes. Otherwise very good stuff, subbed.

If i didnt already know this from my failed painter education, i would be really happy to know this. You being here, teaching others how to do this makes me really happy. Thank you. ❤

It’s the way I could watch 80,000 of these videos high, drunk or sober and still be entertained

I follow you. Especially with those winks, Dad.

Sheetrocker here. What grit of sandpaper? "Also bend your thin metal spatula " away from the fill and you sand less. You can call your landlord to find what paint they use and buy a 9$? Sample of the eggshell or semigloss paint from home depot F*** lowes. Edit 7 likes!?! Thats more then ive gotten in my life! Ty guys!

The “i dont have the paint so we are just gna fukn leave it like that” earned u a sub sir. I do that shit for a living and instead of giving it “the landlord special” and making it worse with random colors and a fukd up patch u just evened it out and left it. Salute

I have a father...and I'm still learning from you😂😂😂 Also your curls be poppin 😍😍😍

with the holes, a damp cloth is usually the easiest way to make it smooth

Love this dude I been scrolling his videos for about 20 minutes for no reason at all

Im following you because of the Ham Dammer in the door hindge adjustment video brother. I bought my son the Black Panther electric drill set for him to help do electrical work like tie plugs and light fixtures. Ive done all of the work it takes to build a house for years. From electrical to hvac to op equipment and block laying to framing so some of this stuff ive done and seen. What I haven't seen is that Thor's hammer tool kit. Your mother is a legend brother. Cant wait to show my kid that tool kit!! Keep on keeping on!!!

THE EYE TWITCH AT THE END, I CANT BREATHE!!!

I always feel happy when I already know everything he’s doing in the video before he does it because it makes me feel like a dad

Great stuff my dog # life lessons

I was just trying to figure out how to do this!! Thank you!!!

I have a dad he taught me everything u teaching. I still like ur videos cuz people need the lesson 🫡

Coming from a professional, it really is that easy. But you do want to put some primer over the spot first if you see brown paper. Otherwise, the moister from the putty can cause the brown paper to bubble off the drywall

Loving your videos! Learning quite a bit!

😂😂😂😂 that eye thing bro I subscribed ❤

The eye twitching at the end 😂

amazing video!! you’re so talented!!

With only dry dex, you can also use a damp sponge to smooth it. Not so dusty. That trick KINDA works with compound 40 but does not work with the rock hard stuff.

The black community needs this guy

Tap the dry wall hangers in a bit so it's indented. Works for holes too

Only thing I would add would be what grit sandpaper you used. Great tips!

This is excellent however if you want a paint match you just need a chip of the original paint, it's best to take it to a Home Depot or Lowe's, any place that has a sizable paint department, they can scan it and make you that match.

bro had a fucking spasm at the love your videos man

Take a mesh cover and you can fix actual holes in it too

He got that covid vaccine eye at the end. 😂

Lmfao that conclusion got me. Subbed!

keep the spatula clean while appling and the result is way smoother, less to sand later on

Hack for sanding, take a stack of post-it papers, line up a few with the glue all lined up to make it the length you need, fold up the bottom and stick this strip under where you are sanding. It will catch a majority or the dust to make cleaning after easier😊

They make drywall sand paper too that looks more like screen material. Saves from a lot of binding and friction sticking regular sandpaper tends to do on those large flat surfaces

It’s a “blade” and “spackle”. Different grit sandpaper can make the texture smoother or rougher. A roll on brush will get you that desired texture. Don’t use a bristle brush.

Use spatula first to scrape imperfections making it smoother when you place the mud. Then before you place the mud check the texture of the wall first and match it so that when you paint it next it would look like the hole was never there to begin with. Best to do all the prep on that wall before painting it.

Dont mud over exposed paper like that, peel off any loose paper, then spray it with a few coats of shellac based primer, kilz makes one and they sell it at home depot, let it dry, THEN mud over the hole, sand and paint

Bro u are a blessing

This guy is the home ec. Class i never got 😂

Quick tip, using a sanding sponge instead of sandpaper might be easier since you have more surface to grab onto with your hands

you’re changing my life

Ngl this dude helped me learn a lot of simple fixes- I don’t have a dad so this it really helpful

A folded piece of paper taped up by some painters tape under where you sand to help catch the dust would help keep it out of the outlets.

You can also use a sponge and water to sand it (dump the water outside not in the drain). Its cleaner in the fact u wont have plaster dust everywhere but it does take slightly longer. Also for best results let it cure over night before you sand it down

Thought video was interesting, then you were like “why aren’t you following me?” *eye twitching uncontrollably* and that got me I had to follow 😂

the look on his face when he says that intro

Just for the record you can always use a lightly damp rag or sponge to sand it once it's dry. Avoids all the dust n shit.

I’m following yo ass cuz yo content is knowledgeable, I learn something new every other video, and yo shit funny as hell with them deliveries 😂

It's crazy that this is a tip it's so easy and straight forward

This is all great but someumes i feel like you should include some measures on how long we'd have to do some things this is amazing 🔥

Pro tip, when you use a sanding paper get a hard surface that fits on the paper. A block of wood will do, so that you can use the paper more effectively.

Wet sponge to sand makes it dust free. Great Channel man!

I got a dad but all he does is drink so I appreciate your videos

I am... but i dont see any rainbows and cupcakes after i followed you.. just more chores i can now complete because you helped me.

The struggle wink 😂😂

This guy likes his pink putty! I mean, it has its place, but for like minor small repairs such as nail holes.

I know you not putting up crazy numbers yet big bro but trust you go the formula down pact just keep this going you finna go mad far bro

Wait there's some pink ones I've always used the white ones for every single job I did

Bro is renting out the landlords special

Pro tip, if you buy drywall mud you can do the same thing, but instead of sand paper to clean it up, you can use a damp sponge so you don't get dust everywhere

Don’t forget wall texture! There's spray on stuff in places like lowes and home depot, putting texture on the patch will make it less obvious.

For screw holes you need to push it back prior to using mud.

Bro i love your video titles 👍👍

Pro tip. Use a wet sponge to sand. Makes much less mess

I’ve been watching your shorts for a while and subbed just today. Your like the big brother I never had but needed. Thanks bro, I’m saving this vid! ❤

That wink at the e d😂❤ it got me. But turns out I am subscribed

Avoid putting pressure directly with your fingers, the higher pressure spots will prevent it from being as flat as you could get it

My dad taught me this because we had to change some stuff on our walls that broke so we had to put that thing on

Lol the question at the end got me to subscribe. Never be afraid to ask for the sale

My mom taught me. If it's jsut nail holes you can use your finger and it leaves a nice finish

The metal spatula is called a putty knife.

At this point bro has more kids than nick cannon

That’s going to shrink and crack later. Compound right onto that paper will pull the moisture out too quickly and absorb/give up moisture more quickly than the drywall around it. Cut out all the loose paper around the edges, paint with killz, let it dry, proceed with the drywall compound.

Spreading the pink... i should call her

Thanks for all your content Dad Owe you one!

the scrapper looks like a shark fin

LOL bro I didn't need anyone to teach me that I punched a hole in a crapy hotel door and fixed it with wire mession that putty. Just went to walmart and started reading labels

Im following you now cuz i feel like that slight twitch was a threat

thx bro i got a 4.5"x1.75" hole in my wall this worked

Another tip if you are in a apartment you can take a pic usually you can text your handyman for a quote then only pay the difference on rent

Thanks, internet dad.

If you are through the white sheetrock paper like here, you may want to put on a primer 1st to prevent issues later. I would also recommend using drywall compound over DryDex, but ya, it will work fine

Bro I am following you

LIKE YO DADDY!!!! ……… not there 😢 😂😭😭😭

Because i am subscribed to you that's why 😊

that thing at the end 😆

Thanks Dad.

The day that u posted this video it was my birthday

I love working with this stuff. I know its not like a perfect fix, but my moms wall had this huge dent in it and i kinda used it as clay and shaped it to fill that space. It took a couple days to dry but uh, with paint over it. You cant tell that there was a giant dent there. 😂😅

If I ever decide to go into acting, im using that eye twitch (less intensely for a more authentic feel)

I don't have any thin metal spatula scrapers :(

My father is a contractor and he doesn't teach me shit. Thank you.
