As a drywall finisher for 40 plus years, I like the way you use a 12" finishing box. Yes, I do agree to go over the seams twice to make sure there is no pin holes in the finish if needed to. Another thought: When I used a 8" or a 10" box- I went over the joints twice to make the finish was ready for the 12" flat finisher. Well: It's the way I was taught-so be it. Very good video- I really enjoyed it. Thz, Phil Anderson=Evansville, Indiana

This guy is awesome at giving instructions. Clear spoken and knowledgeable. Thank you!

You did speak from my heart!

Excellent info Great job with instructions learned more than anything else I watched outstanding

Do you just sheet rock 90 in the boxes or automatic taper? Or do you just use regular mud for all coats? And from what I see there is you just use the automatic taper for the first coat 10” box for the next coat and your 12” boxes for the last coat.

Is the level 5 boxes are built to do the corners beads also? The new Columbia boxes are just curious

Wow great video. Your awesome. You make it seem so easy and I want to but this kit.

Can it be pulled completely from the corner?

Your boarder seems to have gone very sparingly with the screws. What was that bullshit with not staggering butt-joints???

I was told that sanding between passes causes the dust to keep the next layer from attaching. Can you explain this? I understand that you probably have to take the dust off but how would you do that?

which all materials can use with level5

Looks like a cool system. I’m a good taper this just seems faster. I’m skeptical about the thickness though, I always tape at least 2’ seams to taper it well.

Just seen a job finished and done with boxes and flushers. I’m use to hand finished mudding and seeing the finished product differently. Many of the factory tapered seams in some areas you can see the drywalls tapered edge after they sanded the factory seams and inside corners look thin but maybe that’s how it suppose to be with these mudding tools

Do you think you can use this to skim coat the whole wall

I have been hand Finnishing for 28 years but I’m thinking about getting in to machines. Sure would take some getting use too but I’m a one man band on the Finnishg now days and Im always looking to evolve

Can you use a flat box to skim coat walls with texture as an easy way to get flat smooth walls?

@LEVEL5Tools

We would not recommend using a flat box for this skim coating textured walls. Instead, we recommend a manual method using skimming blades - www.level5tools.com/catalog/drywall-skimming-blades

Great tuition my friend. I’ve literally just got my first Level 5 tools today. My mud pump has arrived waiting for the rest. Is there a Pump set up guide as mine came with zero instructions.

I'm just a one person shop that does all different types of work and so improving efficiency is import here. I find the equipment is somewhat pricey and hard to justify multiple boxes for the work I do -- For the time being could I get away with using the 10" box on a final skim coat by overlapping my fill coat as if I was using a 12" or 14" box?

Hey Vince, good question! While you MAY be able to get away with that, we wouldn't recommend it as it would be very difficult to product a flat wall.

you can just use a ten inch then skim it out by hand after.. still way faster

I personally don't like to pre sand for the finish coat because without the dust the finish gets more sticky to the wall and I been using Level 5,Columbia,tape tec, platinum and Tool pro flat box's but my favorite is definitely Level 5 . I will buy my own set high capacity 10 and 12 coming soon.

Gotta sand! Otherwise you’ll end up with bumpy joints

I noticed when you did the ceiling you line up all your but joints. Is that for ease of operation with the box? And... I'm a remodel contractor so I don't do whole houses. I'm gonna bite the bullet and buy this system. Should I go up to a 14" box instead of the 12". I've seen other videos that say I could probably get away with just two coats. Thanks.

@Mike Britt he mentions in the video they're using buttboard from trim tex that recesses the face of the butt joints before any compound is applied. It's a V shaped chunk of OSB that you use to land the end of the sheets on instead of going to the nearest joist or truss. Makes butt joints flat after finishing instead of a smooth bump out.

Muy bueno
