Got a lot done this week on our Downstairs Bathroom. I just thought I would share with you a few tips on the different sheetrock stages. Thanks for staying with me on this home project!

I’ve been taping for 11 years and your the first DIY video that doesn’t make me sad lol

That's a good thing sounds like. My first taping job was on the Oregon coast back when you could only rent the tools from Ames. Just went crazy trying to use a bazooka on high ceilings off of scaffolding. No one can realize the effort that takes unless they've done it.

You should NEVER use mesh tape on full flats or butts. The joints will peak EVERY time. I've fixed hundreds of peaked and/or cracked joints that were finished with mesh tape. It's for patches, not for finishing.

Hey man, love your videos. I have a question. I have a 10x12 shed. My rafters are 14 to 15 inches apart. Is it okay to run three sheets of 12 feet 1/2 inch Sheetrock perpendicular to the rafters? I'll have long seams, but the seams will be the sides of the Sheetrock that are tapered. In other words, there would be no staggering, but no head joints, or cuts butted end to end either. Thanks,

I don't trust drywall nails at all. My house is now 20 years old and the nails are now popping out. They nailed the seams and screwed the interior of the drywall sheets. The screws are fine but the nails are popping, even where they're covered by tape.
@diyduke2 жыл бұрын
That's a common problem especially when lumber goes through the seasonal process of drying shrinking absorbing moisture and expanding, screws are the best 👌

@ModernGentleman4 жыл бұрын
@@diyduke I prefill all my gaps with durabond. I also bedcoat my bead with it. I have ALOT of experience with setting type mud. I've done almost exclusively drywall for the past 17 years and would never recommend mesh on any joints. I only use mesh for patches or anywhere there is no worry of the wall moving. Without the paper, as the wall shrinks and expands through the seasons, the joint will crack. Thats my experience.
@diyduke4 жыл бұрын
@@ModernGentleman okay, thanks for sharing and I see your angle. I've been doing drywall since 1979 when durabond 90 was the only hot mud there was and to speed it up we used plaster accelerator. Done a lot of jobs especially remodels with glass and hot mud, even ran 90 minute through my bazooka, running and gunning. But hey if you're not comfortable with it, that's your choice. Tape On 😀
