Drywall Crack Repair – How to Fix Drywall

should you dig out the crack first? Thats how i learned ..

Never mind. Even after some heavy sanding the second coat was too rough. I
guess the project has to carry on for several more days. 🙁

Love the video, best one I have found to date!

hi. I was wondering if i would put the tape over the corner or the joint of
the connecting ceiling and wall. I have crack right along the seams/joints
of the two walls.

Hi, If you use a wide knife and pull it smooth, you can sometimes get it
done in 2 coats. Doing a professional job usually takes 3 coats. Good Luck

This is the one of the best videos I have seen on repairing dry wall
cracks. I have 4 little ones and working on repairs they have caused right
now. Thanks for the direction!

Happy to help.

Are 2 coats enough if the second is feathered out far from the crack? If I
would have seen your post before getting started I would not have gone with
the joint compound. Time is running out for this holiday weekend and I have
to be done by Monday. I’ve watched several other posts and I appreciate you
showing the extra step of sanding/scraping in-between coats…that is
another step I missed out on.

Hi, Yes, you can retape the whole seam and compound both sides. I have a
video, “how to mud a corner” in our playlist for drywall. If you have a
thin crack, you can also run a bead of painters caulk along the seam, then
prime and paint.

Awesome video. Thank you

Hi, If the crack is smooth, the paper will cover the crack fine. I’ve found
that filling the crack does not stop a new crack if there is movement in
the wall. By covering the crack with drywall tape, even if it does crack
again, it will be hidden. If there are any rough edges or parts sticking
up, I would scrape and fill that so it is smooth. Thank for the question.
