Hello,
After finding out that I officially suck at taping on a 12x12 room, I've decded to get smart and see about finding someone who won't get half the mud on the ground to do the bulk of my house. . . and who's faster. You know. . . machines and all. Or, if you're good at it and have time to show a moron how to do it right, lemme know. Otherwise, any leads to a good drywall contractor would be appreciated. -'Chung ok, I don't suck as bad as I think, but I'm SLOW. |

For smooth wall its 5 coats of mud and these are thin coats.
1st is taping with the tape 2st is taping 3rd is taping watered down 4th is topping touch sandnow 5th is topping and skimming the whole freakin walls touch sand everything smooth Prime the walls with a heavy base wall board primer with lots of solids to fill the mud and the paper. 2 coats of paint and its good. You can speed up the process by using hotmud to stick on the tape and fill any holes or bad spots from hanging. The better you hang the drywall the better the smooth wall. Geoff |
