I'm a retired painter and I always used Peel Stop and applied it by brush. It really locked down the edges and penetrated delaminated paper eliminating air pockets. It's thin as water. Dried in 10 or 20 and was water clean-up. You can also use it on exterior surfaces. What else? Oh yes, I don't miss painting. 😊

Two days ago I needed to do this, but I didn't have shellac primer or Super 77, but I did have some white glue. So I mixed 1 part white glue and 2 parts water. It's essentially Gardz, or thinned out wood glue. Anyway, it did a bang up job.

We’ve used wood glue for decades, because it’s handy, clean and saturates into even loose paper you might miss in the prep process. We don’t sand it either. And, it’s great for helping fix deeper holes in conjunction with fiberglass tape. Only thing to watch is drips down the wall as they’re hard to fix afterward.

Zinnser Gardz has been my go to for doing big drywall rehabs. Its especially good after wallpaper removal. Downside is the 3hr dry time and some people can't stand the smell. I believe Gardz is basically watered down glue. The 77 works great for small areas.

You can also use polyurethane (varnish) instead of the Bins primer, has the same chemicals inside (shellac). Only difference is you have to sand it first. I've patched using a homemade hawk made from a scrap of plywood and a plastic knife, all I had on hand. Homemade hawk on a pail worked great as a mixing board too. Impressed by using the wood glue, it would be easy to keep a small bottle in my tool box for such an emergency. Great tips - thanks Ben.

Bins primer may be thinned down with denatured alcohol. In fact you can remove bins primer with denatured alcohol. But it has no effect on polyurethane finishes. Varnishes do not contain denatured alcohol. Non-latex paint and varnish thinners are not alcohol based.
@user-dn8yz6cd2g10 ай бұрын
If you are someone who has other reasons to use shellac primer, don't throw away the brush! Keep a container of denatured alcohol in the truck. You can even let the shellac fully harden in the brush and then just soak it for 30 min or so in the denatured alcohol next time you need it and the shellac dissolves and is ready to use again. I use shellac primer for almost every interior wood scenario, as well as almost every stain blocking primer adventure. The stuff is incredible!

Liquid masonry bonder. Looks and performs like very thin white glue. Soaks into the paper, it will even flatten and adhere any loose paper. Dries fairly quickly, apply with a cheap brush. Water soluble, easy soap and water clean up. Skim coats without any perceptible change from the surrounding paper face. It will work with ANY amount of paper loss with NO blistering.

Hey Ben! First off, thank you for all your inspiring and highly educational videos! My wife and I started building a garage with an apartment on top about three years ago, and then started building or house nextdoor about two years ago, and from the start I've always said 'I'm NOT going to be doing any mudding and painting." Well... When we did the apartment we couldn't find any painters who were available so with the help of your amazing videos we taped, mudded and painted and it turned out pretty decent! And now with the house, we got some quotes to get it done but I felt that the prices were too high, so now I've rehearsed by watching your videos again and am about halfway through. It's even slightly enjoyable this time with some more experience under my belt! Second: living in Sweden and watching your videos, I find some things you do "over there" a lot more cumbersome and was wondering if you could weigh in on why you do things the way you do? 1. Putting drywall horizontally instead of vertically? Here in Sweden we do it the other way around, and use drywall of the same length as the room height. This means we only ever get butt joints when the room is higher than about 3m. This, in my eyes, saves a lot of work cutting drywall and mudding and taping butt joints! 2. Here (and probably in most of Europe?) we use round electrical boxes. This makes it super easy (barely en inconvenience) to make holes for the outlets: just use a hole-in-one where you place one part in the box before you put up the drywall, use a magnetic seeker to find the box, and then use a circular hole saw to drill the hole. Bam! Takes about ten seconds to do a hole, instead of probably at least a minute when you have to measure where the hole is supposed to be and then use the saw to saw out a square opening. Also: the holes tend to get perfectly aligned and rarely need and mudding. Have a look at this instructional video from a swedish house-company where you can see both 1 and 2 above. kzread.info/dash/bejne/fZeEtMiEmcaTetY.html

There are different building codes in the US. The drywall is installed horizontally and the butt joints are staggered which increases the shear strength of the structure and prevents possible sagging and joint cracking as the framing dries and the structure settles. I've hung boards both ways in different circumstances but I prefer horizontal

Thank you for putting this, and your other well-done videos up for us! A couple of comments: 1) 77 has wicked solvent fumes and rubbery overspray galore (beware of finished surfaces). Yet it is a great problem solver, so proceed with caution. 2) A professional painter introduced me to generic water-based PVA primer (inexpensive), which he pointed out is the correct primer for exposed wallboard paper because it soaks into the fibers and forms a sealing film that is then paint-ready (I am NOT saying to skip the mud and go straight to paint). It seems that it would be the ideal product in this use, as it's a tinted and thinned out version of the wood glue. It dries really fast, as in about 15 minutes or less depending on the temperature and relative humidity. Have you used it?

I’ve been using Gardz with success but saw this and went with wood glue. You say in a pinch but I say it’s the best! No prep for the product, easy water clean up and I can just use my hands if I want. The dry time was lower than Gardz but higher than Shellac but not by much. It worked great! Thanks! Details: Using Gardz and wood glue, in a bathroom environment. Only using 20 minute hot mud. Coated with eggshell/satin and semi-gloss. Full dry and cure times prior to actual bath and shower use. May not be feasible for all but I’ve got 2 full baths. More details: These people are pros imparting their knowledge, if not a pro, don’t go with 20. 45 at least :-D

I ended up taking the trim off and found that the door framing was about 1/2" out of plumb. To get the trim to even nail up to the door jamb, the door installers had to "shave" the drywall, which they did by smashing it into pulp with their framing hammers! I do so wish I could post a picture of that. Just appalling.

Hey Vancouver, Been an avid follower for years now. You honestly were the reason I was able to start renovations business and make drywall/finishing make sense. When it comes to these paper tears(I haven’t finished the video yet so I could get this thought out before the acorn rolls away) I usually scrape the loose crummies and papers off with my taping knife and do a real tight skim coat of quickset(easy sand 45-90 or durabond 45-90 rarely would I use the durabond unless there is a hole as well. But I add blue cap titebond to my mud with 1 drop of regular dawn. It works like a charm for me but I have found that if your mud isn’t creamy enough like the perfect pancake mix consistency and you can’t get that really tight skim this method won’t work. Is this method okay in your mind?

Zinnser Bin brush cleaner works a treat even on hardening Bin Primer brushes, believe it or not. If you leave your brush uncleaned over night and the brush it still a little bit flexible, i.e. crusty on the outside with a gooey milk center, just pop it back in the paint tin for 30 mins and its as good as new. I wrap mine in one of my used vinyl gloves at the end of the day and they are perfect the next morning.

Different materials.

Thanks for the detailed, understandable videos. I am removing painted texture from the bathroom; I've made dozens of small gouges and a few larger ones (some areas seem much harder to remove than others). I'm now trying to use a paint scraper as you show to remove the drywall paper where I gouged as I removed the paint/texture. A lot of the paper seems to remain and I'm wondering if I should sharpen my 6-1 and paint scraper, or would that make it worse? How can I do it better? (68-year old female here)

We’ve used wood glue for decades, because it’s handy, clean and saturates into even loose paper you might miss in the prep process. We don’t sand it either. And, it’s great for helping fix deeper holes in conjunction with fiberglass tape. Only thing to watch is drips down the wall as they’re hard to fix afterward.

Zinnser Gardz has been my go to for doing big drywall rehabs. Its especially good after wallpaper removal. Downside is the 3hr dry time and some people can't stand the smell. I believe Gardz is basically watered down glue. The 77 works great for small areas.

This was the exact type of repair I needed to see. TY!
You can also use polyurethane (varnish) instead of the Bins primer, has the same chemicals inside (shellac). Only difference is you have to sand it first. I've patched using a homemade hawk made from a scrap of plywood and a plastic knife, all I had on hand. Homemade hawk on a pail worked great as a mixing board too. Impressed by using the wood glue, it would be easy to keep a small bottle in my tool box for such an emergency. Great tips - thanks Ben.

Bins primer may be thinned down with denatured alcohol. In fact you can remove bins primer with denatured alcohol. But it has no effect on polyurethane finishes. Varnishes do not contain denatured alcohol. Non-latex paint and varnish thinners are not alcohol based.
If you are someone who has other reasons to use shellac primer, don't throw away the brush! Keep a container of denatured alcohol in the truck. You can even let the shellac fully harden in the brush and then just soak it for 30 min or so in the denatured alcohol next time you need it and the shellac dissolves and is ready to use again. I use shellac primer for almost every interior wood scenario, as well as almost every stain blocking primer adventure. The stuff is incredible!

Now that's a great tip!
Liquid masonry bonder. Looks and performs like very thin white glue. Soaks into the paper, it will even flatten and adhere any loose paper. Dries fairly quickly, apply with a cheap brush. Water soluble, easy soap and water clean up. Skim coats without any perceptible change from the surrounding paper face. It will work with ANY amount of paper loss with NO blistering.
Hey Ben! First off, thank you for all your inspiring and highly educational videos! My wife and I started building a garage with an apartment on top about three years ago, and then started building or house nextdoor about two years ago, and from the start I've always said 'I'm NOT going to be doing any mudding and painting." Well... When we did the apartment we couldn't find any painters who were available so with the help of your amazing videos we taped, mudded and painted and it turned out pretty decent! And now with the house, we got some quotes to get it done but I felt that the prices were too high, so now I've rehearsed by watching your videos again and am about halfway through. It's even slightly enjoyable this time with some more experience under my belt! Second: living in Sweden and watching your videos, I find some things you do "over there" a lot more cumbersome and was wondering if you could weigh in on why you do things the way you do? 1. Putting drywall horizontally instead of vertically? Here in Sweden we do it the other way around, and use drywall of the same length as the room height. This means we only ever get butt joints when the room is higher than about 3m. This, in my eyes, saves a lot of work cutting drywall and mudding and taping butt joints! 2. Here (and probably in most of Europe?) we use round electrical boxes. This makes it super easy (barely en inconvenience) to make holes for the outlets: just use a hole-in-one where you place one part in the box before you put up the drywall, use a magnetic seeker to find the box, and then use a circular hole saw to drill the hole. Bam! Takes about ten seconds to do a hole, instead of probably at least a minute when you have to measure where the hole is supposed to be and then use the saw to saw out a square opening. Also: the holes tend to get perfectly aligned and rarely need and mudding. Have a look at this instructional video from a swedish house-company where you can see both 1 and 2 above. kzread.info/dash/bejne/fZeEtMiEmcaTetY.html

There are different building codes in the US. The drywall is installed horizontally and the butt joints are staggered which increases the shear strength of the structure and prevents possible sagging and joint cracking as the framing dries and the structure settles.

I just found this video, and wondered if hairspray would work. I've used that before to seal my pastel and pencil drawings for years.
Thank you for putting this, and your other well-done videos up for us! A couple of comments: 1) 77 has wicked solvent fumes and rubbery overspray galore (beware of finished surfaces). Yet it is a great problem solver, so proceed with caution. 2) A professional painter introduced me to generic water-based PVA primer (inexpensive), which he pointed out is the correct primer for exposed wallboard paper because it soaks into the fibers and forms a sealing film that is then paint-ready (I am NOT saying to skip the mud and go straight to paint). It seems that it would be the ideal product in this use, as it's a tinted and thinned out version of the wood glue. It dries really fast, as in about 15 minutes or less depending on the temperature and relative humidity. Have you used it?
I’ve been using Gardz with success but saw this and went with wood glue. You say in a pinch but I say it’s the best! No prep for the product, easy water clean up and I can just use my hands if I want. The dry time was lower than Gardz but higher than Shellac but not by much. It worked great! Thanks! Details: Using Gardz and wood glue, in a bathroom environment. Only using 20 minute hot mud. Coated with eggshell/satin and semi-gloss. Full dry and cure times prior to actual bath and shower use. May not be feasible for all but I’ve got 2 full baths. More details: These people are pros imparting their knowledge, if not a pro, don’t go with 20. 45 at least :-D
I like to use Gardz for large tears, never thought to use super 77. I always carry some 77 with me because its great to help fiber tape stick to the painted areas around a patch
I’ve been using the wood glue method for a while now. I love it. Works on large and small paper tears equally. Dries fast and sands well (if needed).

Thanks for this video! I've learned a huge amount from your videos and drywall no longer scares me. Last night I was trying to figure out why the trim on my study door was all wonky. I ended up taking the trim off and found that the door framing was about 1/2" out of plumb. To get the trim to even nail up to the door jamb, the door installers had to "shave" the drywall, which they did by smashing it into pulp with their framing hammers! I do so wish I could post a picture of that. Just appalling.
What!! I thought you had a video using “Roman Rx-35 PRO-999 1 gal. Interior Drywall Repair and Sealer Primer” on raw paper, so I’ve been using it for years. Thanks for the video, I’ve learned a lot.
Hey Vancouver, Been an avid follower for years now. You honestly were the reason I was able to start renovations business and make drywall/finishing make sense. When it comes to these paper tears(I haven’t finished the video yet so I could get this thought out before the acorn rolls away) I usually scrape the loose crummies and papers off with my taping knife and do a real tight skim coat of quickset(easy sand 45-90 or durabond 45-90 rarely would I use the durabond unless there is a hole as well. But I add blue cap titebond to my mud with 1 drop of regular dawn. It works like a charm for me but I have found that if your mud isn’t creamy enough like the perfect pancake mix consistency and you can’t get that really tight skim this method won’t work. Is this method okay in your mind?

After removing wallpaper, I tend to do all three of these options, when I’m installing new wallpaper I find using the spray is the best since it seals and preps for new wallcovering the best.
I painted for years and on the way i always fixed them was cut them out and anytime i didnt have schelac with me i would just use a good semi gloss paint to seal them down, it worked decent enough then a couple of coats of mud and it came out perfect.. As i always say quality tools gives a quality job....
Zinnser Bin brush cleaner works a treat even on hardening Bin Primer brushes, believe it or not. If you leave your brush uncleaned over night and the brush it still a little bit flexible, i.e. crusty on the outside with a gooey milk center, just pop it back in the paint tin for 30 mins and its as good as new. I wrap mine in one of my used vinyl gloves at the end of the day and they are perfect the next morning.

Had some leftover Minwax clear shellac and tried it out on some torn paper in my bathroom remodel. Works great, however, as a comment below said the VOC was really strong.

Thanks so much! Great video and you make a great teacher.
33 yr handyman here - BIN cleans up almost INSTANTLY if you dunk the wet or almost dry brush into ammonia!!! I recommend the double strength janitorial ammonia - cleans Bin brushes magically!!!
I prefer regular Elmer’s All-purpose glue… I brush it on. And I think mud adheres very well to it. Especially if you add a touch of glue to your first coat of mud…. As for BIN, no need to throw out tools or brushes. Denatured alcohol cleans it up lickity-split. Even after it’s dry.

Different materials. The hole is just the inner core, the white hard packed powdery stuff (gypsum) - patching compound will join with that provided it’s not loose (a hole still needs the loose stuff knocked or brushed out). The paper is made in several thin layers and absorbs and swells and delaminates with liquid (paint).
I have always used a wet kitchen sponge and just lightly dipped it in the mud. Then rubbed it over the fuzzy part of the paper. Basically rubbing in the mud so it soaks into the fuzzy part. I dont leave it thick, more like painting. Then wait till it dries and recoat. It works great for DIY but as a contractor I know you cant wait around alot

I'm new to DIY and not very strong yet. I tried using a full sized hawk for my ceiling, but I just couldn't hold it up.

Here is an extra tip about the orientation of your knife. Make a noticeable notch on the handle where your hand meets the area where the handle joins the actual blade. That way; you will FEEL that spot every time you grab the knife and instinctively know how to hold it, without ever having to look at it again.
I always the use the shellac, and often use a "magic trowel" silly name, but a great tool. Kind of a specialty squeegee. You can feather an edge while leaving as much material toward the middle as you want

painted texture bathroom ceilings is easier to deal with by simply applying a couple coats of mud over every thing.
This is awesome, thanks!! I'm in the greater Vancouver area and literally doing a painting job with exposed paper on the drywall. Your videos are the best! So helpful!
You are fantastic on double speed!
BIN all day. Always worth having a tin its got soooo many uses. And it works !
Hey really helpful video, Im stripping wall paper off in a bedroom and for the most part ive got down to the white drywall, though today the paper just would not budge and when i tore it away, the white paint under the wall paper actually came with it. It looks like what you have in the video but alot bigger, i did start to panic slightly, but if you have any further advice im all ears!
Imagine being so good at your job that even when you try to do something badly for illustrative purposes, it still ends up in good shape 🧐.
FYI: shellac is soluble with alcohol. You should be able to clean your brush with denatured alcohol, even a dried brush.
Good to see I'm on track with the 2 knife method I often use for small patches or whatnot, but my aim was merely less cleanup work.
Wood glue worked for me awhile back, seems to be holding up well. I even added the paper back, as it was missing from a large area.
What do you use for sanding tools also and grit? Thank you.
I use bins like you did and I also primarily use kilz spray any thoughts on the kilz product? GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.
Question I just Fixed 6 small spots with that primer should I kills it after that oil base primer or just hit it with the 20 min mud them prime that
Will quick setting or joint compound mixed with PVA glue work? Or would PVA glue by itself work? Thanks!
Do you have to prime/seal over the joint compound or can you just paint over it?
For me, when sand glue material; I’ll use a sand screen/sand net material that’s out there from many different brands (Diablo is my favorite right now, btw), & using this helps not gunk up as easily as does if using and paper, and can also “clean” the sand mesh for another project (sometimes doesn’t clean well, at all, but when buy in packs of 100+, ur talking 2¢ or so, lol).
