Tips on Taping Drywall To The Ceiling

Video Transcript

" How are you doing? My name is Noah Richardson from Elliot Construction. Most of the compound covers the tape, next time you do it it’s going to be the final time when you cover the whole…after this dries, the whole thing gets covered and then you’re ready to sand. Now, as far as the screw holes, like you see they’re already finished because I move pretty fast, so they’re almost done. I’m going to show you how I usually do it with the screw holes. What you do is we do almost the same thing like over here, you just put on the compound here. Usually a screw hole will be here and here, but it’s already covered. You just take half and half. You don’t have to be all the way over here but you just go half and half of it. Do like this, go on one side. Let your compound be on this side now because you’re going on this side, and you just do it on this side now. Pull it in the middle, and make sure you get a nice little smooth surface, then you just clean it off like that. You don’t have to press too hard on it, just give it a little grace because you still have to sand it when you’re finished. That’s it for your second coat. Well, with this it’s the third coat because I already did like I told you, but you basically do the same thing over and over until you don’t see any screw holes.
