How to Repair a Crack in Drywall
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Step by step tutorial on fixing a drywall crack. A couple tips:
1. When texturing or feathering, mix in a little water if you feel the mud is too thick.
2. You may want to soak the paper when applying, or add a little water to the mud. This can help the paper bond better.
3. At 2:16 the monkey noise is from my kids watching Jumanji. It's a classic.
4. If your wall doesn't move or is solid, you may not need to put in the drywall screws.
5. I only mentioned it, but I put the screws ~1.5 inch and 6 inches from the cracked wall on both top and bottom in the studs. If your crack is vertical, you will place in the studs near the crack.

Thank you so much! I'm currently preparing to drill my wall to hang some painting and was worried about creating cracks. This majorly reassured me!
Great, easy to follow, and short video without skipping out on the steps. Thank you for the primer reminder. I just patched a hole in my drywall and was going to get into your paint matched, but now I know I need to grab some primer!

Thanks for watching, Dorena.
Thanks so much I moved into recently renovated home and we have about 2 cracks like that and now i can fix them with thanks
great video! To the point and no fluff! Thank you so much!
Very informative. All worked for me. Thank you very much.
Great job clear and concise
Great job
Excellent. Thank you.
Thank you!
Really nice repair ~ if I were doing it, I would have used quickset and mesh tape for the initial repair, than regular mudd for the finish coats as the repair would have been far stronger and less likely to ever separate in the future.

Yessir. Thanks for watching.
Instead of using the paper tape, there is a product called Crack Tape. Crack Tape is a very strong drywall tape that you have to cut with scissors, and has holes in it that the drywall mud goes through. Crack Tape is very strong and flexible. You also cannot rip Crack Tape with your hands or try to rip with a dryewall knife. I ordered it online.
Not too shabby good buddy

@@beefmaster_james I certainly appreciate it.😊
Apply mud in thinner flatter layers....makes final sand easier.

Excellent tip. Had to go through the school of hard knocks for that lesson.
I can do this!
I’m just going to paint over my crack
Great job. But that all purpose joint compound is too hard to sand. Use 45 min and mix your own.

Good tip. Saves time and money that way.
Why isn't it recommended to use the paint and primer? Sorry trying to learn.

Paint and primer is fine to use over a finished wall or existing paint. A true primer will bond and seal over mud much better than a paint and primer mix. Primer usually takes less than an hour to dry, so would definitely recommend just using that.

@beefmaster_james Ok, thank you. I used to take painting and remodeling as a trade at a vocational school, and I've forgotten the majority of it and am trying to learn everything again. Thank you for your help.
Did you fix your foundation, too?
Hi there, I 'd like to offer you the product to make videos, how can I talk with you for the details?
Without a structural remedy the crack will return. Get an estimate from foundation specialists and fix the problem before doing so the drywall work.
you're a hero sir. 🫡🫡
Thank you!
