" How are you doing? My name is Noah Richardson from Elliot Construction. This is the main hold that holds the sheet rock in the center. Like if you’re pressing on it, it won’t buzz back out. The purpose for doing this is so that when you’re ready to go back over it, this is already dry so you get a nice solid surface. Then you go over it about two times with a different knife. This is the first knife you use when you’re doing the first step in taping. You use a small spatula knife so you do it faster. Like I said, with this hole now….you’re going to need a tape to do this one."
