That’s a great vid too. Do you do the flats completely before the butts ?
KingAndie · September 23, 2014 at 11:40 AM
it’s a nice job…though, I only do 2 coats on my buttjoints…and believe
it or not, I use a pan and knife. They too come out flat as glass, my
method for applying, feathering and whiping is rather different as well,
even when I do use a trowel. I almost always use a 10 inch knife then 12
inch knife. Kind of expensive knives I must say, though well worth the
investment. It’s like silk when sanded.
Thomas Dwyer · September 23, 2014 at 12:34 PM
What kind of trowel do you prefer for butt joints-right now I’m using a
curved but thinking of getting a marshalltown gs 12″x5″ is that a good
choice or should I go bigger

I can feel jealousy from some comments… excellent work Mud Slingr
..Thumbs Up

This is how mudwork should be done! If you are using a knife to coat flats
and butts, your an amateur. If you think scraping is good enough, your
wrong. There is a world of difference and TALENT between putting mud on a
wall and being a master craftsman. There are few craftsmen left, most are
just hacks that charge so little people let them get away with crap work,
or they cover HORRIBLE work with some kind of texture. Real masters of the
trade can use a trowel, and consider level 4 work bad form. This guy can
put mud on the wall, THE RIGHT WAY. Quit being hacks, you will get paid
more!

hi all iam in ireland and never sand between coats it,s just messy people
with no skill have to do that
Eerik Sweden · September 23, 2014 at 2:25 PM
What comes after the third coat? Is the wall ready for painting?
Mud Slingr · September 23, 2014 at 3:18 PM
Nothing wrong with scraping all though sanding will eliminate any
unnecessary high spots easier and generally make a smoother surface for the
next coat. And if you have coated everything nicely then rough sanding is
very quick and easy. All a personal preference I guess but most guys in
this hemisphere would probably sand over scraping. Not to say they never do
!
MrSckolar · September 23, 2014 at 3:21 PM
What’s your problem? Sanding in between coats ensures that no chunks will
be underneath the third coat! Now true, it is not REQUIRED, but it is not a
bad thing either!
Brad Beasley · September 23, 2014 at 3:33 PM
I wish it paid enough to take that much time on joints. Ga pays 13 cent a
ft (residential). Two coats and sand is all they’re gettin from me, ya
cheap bastards!!
Firstname Lastname · September 23, 2014 at 3:50 PM
F U I use four
RickScherfDrywall · September 23, 2014 at 3:58 PM
Yeah we’re not supposed to rough sand in between coats… unless we want
things dead flat and looking their best! Rough sanding levels things in
addition to getting any dried up globs outta the way, plus it’s on a 4 foot
pole and faster. Scrape or sand they both work fine.

Nice square room….Easy bucks!!
Michael Durkin · September 23, 2014 at 6:42 PM
Says the guy from Australia, with no vids of his own uploaded. It is my
experience, that no matter with method of application you choose, there is
always… ALWAYS a tool mark left in the mud. Unless you pull it so tight
that there is nothing left to leave a mark in. But I’m only a professional,
and have no clue what I’m talking about. Sanding or scraping between coats
removes said tool marks and other trash, making the next coat easier and
cleaner to apply.
TheDrywallogist · September 23, 2014 at 6:49 PM
you in canada aeh?
Mudmancontracting · September 23, 2014 at 7:41 PM
I never used to sand between coats either….then I learned how to do it
the right way…almost 100000 views! Good on you mudslingr….out of that
many views you’re bound to get one retard!
Richard Moore · September 23, 2014 at 7:58 PM
Your good for buisiness Jayden!
PrecisionTaping . · September 23, 2014 at 8:12 PM
!? Pre-Sanding is personal preference and there is absolutely nothing wrong
with it!
ttb kombs · September 23, 2014 at 8:54 PM
looks great, I have to pick up a hawk and trowel 1 of these days, I’m still
using pan and knife
roundossan · September 23, 2014 at 9:14 PM
Not only is it good to sand in between coats but it’s also common sense,
something which you seem to lack, retard
Mud Slingr · September 23, 2014 at 9:23 PM
@TheDrywallogist Yes
Lauren Lee · September 23, 2014 at 9:42 PM
What would you suggest for a 70 lbs mirror?
HomeRemodelWorkshop · September 23, 2014 at 9:46 PM
Mine work fine for what I do with them , but I will definitly check yours
out Thanks—Bob
organpipes · September 23, 2014 at 10:01 PM
hey bob, thanks for the post. I just got a couple wall mounts for my
guitars and they came with these same anchors and I am completely horrible
with this sort of stuff, so this vid is exactly what I need. Wish me luck.
Is a drill completely necessary?
Adamlboyer · September 23, 2014 at 10:41 PM
A thermostate is something not to mess with, well i live in a college house
and people keep turning the cold air on. Roommates who live in basement
areas receive 90% of the cold air. at this time its fall, its cold out and
some roommate decided to rip this lockbox off, that secures the access of
the thermostat., leaving 8 holes in the drywall. it was apparently screwed
in only 1/4 of an inch deep and came off without any force. thanks for the
video on how to install anchor screws properly.
brofun · September 23, 2014 at 11:08 PM
I”ve used these also..they are great! Never a problem with them
HomeRemodelWorkshop · September 23, 2014 at 11:46 PM
Glad to be of service+++Bob
HomeRemodelWorkshop · September 24, 2014 at 12:16 AM
I would imagine so they will spread on the end instead of crack and cause
weakness. +++Bob
beransom · September 24, 2014 at 12:27 AM
These anchors are great. Love your tips Bob!
Peekaboo1961 · September 24, 2014 at 1:01 AM
thanks good idea
sutgyl · September 24, 2014 at 1:52 AM
Thanks for introducing this product, they are my favorite anchors now for
anything up to 75 lbs.
Dezmar Perez · September 24, 2014 at 2:46 AM
These also come in zinc which are the only ones I use. And yes these are
great anchors!
HomeRemodelWorkshop · September 24, 2014 at 2:58 AM
Both===Bob
wayupnorth80 · September 24, 2014 at 3:00 AM
stiil use the same anchors just pre drill a hole first be sure not to drill
hole to big. when anchore screws into the wood lat it wont come out unless
the lat comes with it
spiritualjudy · September 24, 2014 at 3:21 AM
Thank you. That was very helpful.
wyoliks · September 24, 2014 at 3:30 AM
Thanks a lot for the video….I was looking for some sturdy anchors for my
guitar hanger and this helped a lot….
HomeRemodelWorkshop · September 24, 2014 at 4:12 AM
@Lunabearr80 Glad to hear you are enjoying yourself+++Bob
HomeRemodelWorkshop · September 24, 2014 at 4:24 AM
No not totally necessary,but it sure comes in handy.Just be carefull not to
over tighten anchors as they can thread-out the guts of the drywall.+++Bob
StreamlineWeb · September 24, 2014 at 5:16 AM
Very helpful thank you
drabb75 · September 24, 2014 at 5:42 AM
This video was easy to follow and very helpful. I have had a bathroom
toilet paper holder fixture drooping out of the wall for months. Thanks to
you bob, I went to my local hardware store and purchased the E-Z anchor and
voila! All is well. I now subscribe to your channel because of the ease
with which you explain things. I am a woman with zero experience with DIY
stuff. your channel has given me hope. Thanks so much!
Tesfay Asmelash · September 24, 2014 at 6:19 AM
thank a mil
None · September 24, 2014 at 7:07 AM
Awesome Tip Bob Thanks.
TromboneAl · September 24, 2014 at 7:40 AM
Thanks, those are my favorites as well. I prefer to tap them in, and they
tighten them with a screw driver rather than a drill. I’m pretty sure it’s
“gypsum” and not “gimpsum.” 😉
MuttinHead · September 24, 2014 at 7:49 AM
thanks for the tip
NHsk8r74 · September 24, 2014 at 8:31 AM
OMG I love these anchors too! I buy ’em in the 100 packs. I’ve found though
that the self drilling tip isn’t all that. For critical application I
pre-drill ’em first with an appropriate sized drill bit. Haven’t had one
fail yet 🙂
HomeRemodelWorkshop · September 24, 2014 at 9:01 AM
If its a hollow wall I generally use toggle bolts+++Bob
