I am ready to try this on the walls in my half-bath. The walls however are
particle board (recently stripped of three layers of wallpaper). Will it
essentially work the same way?

How did you make out?

Russ Olinatz · September 23, 2014 at 10:56 AM

@romajr86 Ur welcome. Good luck and keep me posted!

Hi it is me again. I have an issue. Curved wall ( should have left the darn
paneling on it) that we now put drywall on. But have a 1 inch gap to try to
fill. Ugh. Do I use your plaster of Paris mud pie technique? I am
completely stressed about how to fix this issue. I don’t want to regret
taking down the ugly paneling!

Your videos are very very helpful Russ Thanks for all the tips and tricks
🙂

help!!! How do you fix an BAD job…..orange peel was used and already
painted.. Still see the surface….

romajr86 · September 23, 2014 at 2:13 PM

@user72689 Question for you… I have some holes im spot filling with joint
compund and most are all coming out fine, but 1 or 2 are about the size of
a nickel, and seem to be taking a lot of compound to fill in. Should I use
a small patch over these 2 holes instead of just filling with compound? Or
do you think that size will be ok just filling in?

KimmyCMU1 · September 23, 2014 at 2:49 PM

Yes well the tiles are like thick ceramic tiles, I feel like they stick out
like half an inch or so off the wall.

Russ Olinatz · September 23, 2014 at 3:11 PM

Thanks for the feedback! It means a lot to me! I am happy to have helped
you!

In my bathroom there are tiles covering the walls about 4 feet up that I
want to remove. Above all the tile is just regular wallpapered walls, which
I also want to take off. I wanted to remove the tile from the walls
surrounding the vanity area, but Im sure the wall will be damaged behind
that. So there are 4 walls that I wanted to do this to. Should I skim coat
the entire walls after? I dont want it to have an obvious difference from
the top to bottom. How many coats will it take?

Russ Olinatz · September 23, 2014 at 3:54 PM

Thanks James!

Russ, any tips for getting rid of a heavy skip trowel texture on bathroom
walls? Should I bother sanding… or just skim coat the crap out of it?
Thanks so much for your videos, they are very helpful.

@TheMUSTURD Thankyou! I hope to bring you all more, more, more!

good video

Megdutcher08 · September 23, 2014 at 6:52 PM

Hey Russ I have a HUGE problem. I just bought a house that was built in
1800 . In one room they did wallpaper over wall paper over , and then by
the last owners painted. My husband grabbed a corner and yanked it back,
now we have walls with multiple layers of wallpaper peeled back….should I
still use tis video…try to cut it back and then primer?or should I try
sanding it? I’m at a loss…it’s a mess! Thanks Meg

@user72689 Hi again. I made out great with the drywall patch, and for my
first ever skim-coat spackling job I think it came out good. I also primed
and painted, and im very happy with the paint. Thanks for asking and thanks
again for your videos. They definitely helped me

AlTanSr. · September 23, 2014 at 8:22 PM

Great tips man.Been learning a lot from your videos. Thanks 🙂

One of the best in his trade.

Russ Olinatz · September 23, 2014 at 9:37 PM

@romajr86 You could use a small metal patch. Get a 4×4 metal drywall sheet
patch then with a pair of scissors cut out a 2 x 2 square and put over the
hole and then mud over Or just use a piece of Mesh tape and put over hole
then lightly skim over that 3-4 separate coats.

Russ Olinatz · September 23, 2014 at 9:50 PM

@steelyhendrix Thank you!

MJG Productions · September 23, 2014 at 10:29 PM

Great stuff, keep making more. This really helped with my project.

Russ Olinatz · September 23, 2014 at 11:18 PM

What is the yellow area? And is it an obtuse or an acute angle?

KimmyCMU1 · September 23, 2014 at 11:27 PM
