How to Tape & Float Drywall: Part 3

Video Transcript

As you can see I had a gap there; I'm just putting the compound in there. Covering up the spots, cause this is a studio, so less sounds come through, less gap you have in your sheetrock, the better it is for him and for me, cause I want him to call back case he got another job he wants done. Always got to satisfy your customer, even if it's yourself, you don't want to have do nothing. Alright, as I was saying, this tape with comes with seam already in it, so just in case you have to fold it for your corners. Here's a corner tape right here, there's a corner here, I put there. There's another corner tape, that's been folded. And here's another corner here, so what you do is, in this case, you want your corner to go up. Sometime you want to put a little compound under there, don't be ashamed of your compound, you got plenty of it. Pivot and come along the seam, come along the seam, that's in. That seam up, this seam is covered, this seam is covered. Some compound. That's that. Basically, then that's same, same repeat the process, compound, put the tape on it, some more compound, all the way down, make sure your screws has compound in them, so that you won't see your screws. Like I say, if you want to make it nice and smooth, you can always sand it before you paint. Well as you can see this is the finished product, once the sheetrock dries, you know it dries cause it's gray when you apply it, and when it's white then you know your dry. This basically a finished product. My name is Joseph Hawkins; this is basic drywall for Expert Village.
