  1. As long as it’s fully dry when you start I’ve honestly had great results feathering the edge with a wet microfiber cloth. Just gotta be gentle so you don’t gouge into it as it gets wetter. Any imperfections you leave get pretty well covered by the texture.

  2. I need help with something. My finishers came in and sanded the crap out of the paper on my new build. Now just about every board is rough even after (albeit lightly) sprayed primer. Without having to skim coat all the walls whats my next best option for a fix?

  3. Americans love their bumpy walls, I prefer the smooth look and curse these walls when I go to my winter home in Florida. Perhaps it has to do with lazy workers and finishers as you can get away with sloppy taping etc (akin to new home builds in Toronto stucco'ing the ceilings to get away with murder). While you save time in the initial build out it becomes a more labour intensive fix later on.

  4. Thank you very much for this video! I live in Nor Cal, and our textured walls here drive me gall-dang nuts! I have yet to do a repair where I was really happy with the texture on the patch. You've given me some useful tips for next time. BTW: not my local HD, but close enough for me to start wondering what I would say to you if I saw you in the drywall isle! Thanks again, friend.

  5. I understand you are making a video but be honest… could you have originally just put mesh tape over the original hole and have mudded it instead of cutting out a square?

  6. Perfect timing! I’m getting ready to help a friend of mine with a bunch of small repairs in a house he is just moving into and it is all orange peel texture. I’ve learned a ton from you on drywall repairs already so I can now add textured walls to my arsenal! I love your recent vids too btw.

  7. By far, the best drywall video in a while! For the following reasons:
    1. Started from scratch. Buying all tools and materials needed at the store helps.
    2. Using materials that are available (not necessarily the best mud for the job)
    3. Close up views and great lighting highlights exactly how good is “good enough”

    I want to see more videos like this.

  8. G'day Ben,
    Here in Australia, we don't have much in the way of textured walls, but I rekin you did an amazing job, looking at it from my place anyway. 😂😂😂.
    Seriously, thanks for sharing, man. I didn't know you could by wall texture in a can.
    ✌️ Peace from Melbourne Australia.

  9. I'm a native Californian and think this is one of the best states in the country. We have a very diverse topography and so many things to do. Having said that, as we all know, the political climate here has diminished our quality of life, which really sucks
