I have yet to work with a mudder who was not on speed.

It's in his bloodlines. His father was a mudder, his mother was a mudder.

Is that some fancy new kind of filler that doesn’t sink when it dries? That’s why you’re meant to leave it a little bit proud & not flush

My money says that wall is going to get texture or wallpaper.

If it’s covered, that’s fine, but that’s not how you’d usually put it on a viewed wall. As someone who strips walls semi-regularly, fuck artex and fuck woodchip paper.
22
That’s how it’s drywall is done in the states. Leaving it a bit proud sounds like it’ll take much longer. This mud they use does shrink so they have to make a few passes on the screw holes.
There is other premixed spackle for minor wall defects that does not shrink that’s used before painting. It’s nice where there’s barely even sanding, can smooth it out in one coat.
You over in the UK? Do you guys have drywall? Stripping wall paint is kind of unheard of over here. Using chemical stripper? If people want their old uneven walls smooth here they’ll patch then entire wall, skim coat it. Or just replace the drywall and start from scratch.
20
We use plaster boards then bond & skim plaster over but there’s usually a load baring wall or some sort of retaining or brick walls too. Old Victorian houses (200 years old) have wooden slats instead of plasterboard & the fashion tends to be paint over fresh plaster & paper over old. We propabky do have different types of filler, but I can do wonders with the powder you add water to- I’ve rebuilt ancient coving with a bit of filler and joint tape. Yeah UK, strippers are just large kettles with a large square head that steams the wallpaper paste from the back of it & very common to strip an entire house then plaster or line the walls with paper

Going too thick will cause the head to not get properly filled, and can also make it take longer to set. You always have to do multiple passes, easier to do two light than a heavy, sand, light.
8
If it’s under paper it’ll be fine, but if that’s a finish surface then it’ll need another pass. I’d rather leave it a little proud & sand down than mix filler every day and slowly work my way there
1
If you leave it proud and sand you’re going to be going over it again and sanding it twice anyways. You’re only making more work for yourself.

NO, don’t sand twice

It was going to well until I saw that dollop fall off on the third one.

I can’t believe I had to scroll down that far to see this. It almost gave me chills

Hey OP can I ask you what your using to fix the holes please?
I’m in the UK and often use a dry lining product but it costs a lot, that product looks spot on. TIA
3
This is just dry wall spackle. It's not for fixing holes - it's for covering the screws in the dry wall.
9
As in covering the holes left by pulling the rawl plugs out? Surely not going straight over the screws?
5
This drywall probably will be staying in place for decades. Yes, they mud over the screws. It's a common practice in the US.
15
Yeah I get what you mean, some new builds over in the U.K. are done like this. Most are fully plastered though. I use this same product to take any imperfections out in a wall etc.
I’ve done an office like this way before but usually plaster walls and ceiling. I thought you meant right over the screws, but I get you the screws are recessed into the board etc etc. It’s dry wall muck is expensive over here, I saw that and thought “oh that goes on just like the dry lining muck”.
4
The screws are what's holding the drywall against the studs. The screws sink into the drywall when you hit a stud and then you use the spackle to cover that hole.
1
I get you I just didn’t clock on it was dry lined till you said
2
Actually I get you now, yeah it’s the same stuff I use for small holes, cracks and any imperfections to plastered walls.
Thanks

Why did I have to scroll so much for this comment?

Other guy wasn’t exactly correct in calling it spackle. Stuff in the video is drywall mud. Comes premixed in big tubs, drywall guys sometimes mix dish soap to make it smooth. In between drywall pieces they lay a bed of drywall mud and tape, and then fill these holes.
Drywall mud shrinks though and need three coats. Drywall guys knock it put pretty fast. Mexicans are known to be good at it.
Spackle on the other hand is used for repairs before repaints. Also comes premixed and can repair minor defects and holes. Some great stuff pros love is called 3m Patch Plus Primer. It doesn’t shrink and can be patched in one coat, even smoothed out during patching where you don’t need to sand it. Plus it’s got primer in it so it can be painted right over. Good stuff.
For deeper repairs we use powder joint compound and mix with water, it dries faster and better for larger repairs.

Cool thanks for that, Patch in one coat is what I want really. It sounds the same as what we use for dry wall over here, which is the same stuff I use anyways
2
You’re welcome, I hope they have it available over there. It’s not for major repairs, I probably wouldn’t patch 25mm x 25mm hole. But smaller than that it works well, it’s got decent strength and good adhesion with the added primer.

I used easifill as well, good stuff! Thanks

I feel like this whe sub is people praising hacks who dont know how things are done
3
Huh? This isnt a hack, this is how a large population of drywallers are taught to fill screw holes during tape and mud fills
8
Fixing a hole, where the rain gets in
Stops my mind from wandering
2
Pretty sure those are the drywall screws he’s covering so it can be sanded/painted. Not just ‘wall holes’

I can hear this gif and its lovely

I mean it has sound so..

This guy was in a Frat

So this is what they charge $30/hr for "wall repairs" on my rental security deposit? Some BS
1
Lol. No, this is a drywaller showing you how he fills screw holes right after a fresh sheet is installed. Repairing painted walls is quite a bit different
3
It puts the caulk in the hole

He's running a bit wet for my taste, but yep, this is how ya do it.
I’ll take ‘things you can say on a building site and in bed’ for 10 points.
"it goes alot faster when there's a lot more people"
“It’s going to take a bit longer than expected, and I’m afraid it’s going to be pretty expensive”
We’re gonna need bigger batteries
You need to hammer it really hard until it’s in.
"We had no idea that the thing would get so big."
"It wouldn't fit no matter how hard I pushed it"
It's been harder to find people to do this since covid happened.
What do you want me to do with all this extra hose I've got?
“Break time”
My, those are some mighty fine flanged nipples you got there.
I haven't had this much fun laying pipe in ages!
Drywallers always yellin "Get the seam in"
Just put the male end in the female receptacle.
Ok but is this really “fixing” the holes or really just covering them up
he's covering the drywall screws that are holding the drywall to the studs. sanding it totally flat then paint or primer goes on next. finishing, not fixing
As another commenter said, yeah these are screws. If you wanted to cover a hole with nothing behind it, you’d need to buy a wall patch
Same thing in this case. He'll need to sand that after I'd cures and then paint the wall but yes, that's how it's done.
Is that why it looks so fluffy? Did he water it down?
It’s like heavy clay if you don’t. Water “removes the weight” in a sense
Almost like thinning it out, like water will do to anything.
Quit using common sense you’re making me feel stupid
