Mixing Hot Mud

this mixing up our hot mud. We want something that's going to dry really fast so we can sand it and then texture it really quick so we don't have to make this a multi-day job. And I'm going to be using a easy sand five 5m minute hot mud. So it's just a powdery product. I'm just going to dry powder. I'm going to put it in my mixing pan, taping pan, mud pan, whatever you want to call it. Sure there's some drywaller out there want to correct me say I don't know what I'm talking about. Now I'm just going to begin adding water to my pan till I get the consistency that I want. Just got my pan right here. It's pretty simple process. just mixing it. I'm just using use a 3 in or 4 in knife and applying it with a 3 or 4 in knife. And then I'll be smoothing it out with my taping knife right here. And this is a 6-in taping knife. So, you just want a nice smooth creamy consistency with your hot mud. If you get it too wet and it's too runny, you could just add little bit more hot mud back into it. dry powder to thicken it up. So, I'm just continuing to mix this to a nice consistency. I'll show you what it looks like. This is our actual right here. 5 minute hot mud that we're using. Hopefully, you can see that.
