What happens here
The creator critiques the common 'hawk and trowel' method for drywall mudding, finding it cumbersome. He attempts the TikTok hack of using two drywall trowels: one to hold the mud and the other to spread it onto the drywall seams. He practices transferring mud between the two trowels and then applying it to a vertical drywall seam on a practice board. The technique involves a fluid motion of taking mud from one trowel and smoothly applying it with the other, aiming for a consistent and flat finish. He highlights his preference for this method due to improved coordination and finesse.
Goal: This step tests an unconventional drywall mudding technique where two trowels are used instead of a hawk and trowel for mixing and applying mud to tape seams.
