Testing 10 Viral DIY Tips – Fake or Real?

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.

Tools and materials

some drywall up and uh go from there. I have mud here already. This sucks trying to get it out of your little tray, but got my second tel. This is what he was doing.

I feel like I have more finesse with this than I do on a regular triel. And what I like about it, you're already hitting it with a super wide what, like 10 incher. And what I'm envisioning is you're already maybe saved yourself one step of the tri. But also, I mean, the fact that you can mix it like this, apply it, and just spread it out. That's I'm going to put this one in my back pocket. I I think from now on now on I'm going to use this method, not just regular drywall knives. It even feels the screw holes really well. Okay. Oh, yeah. That's what he did, too. 10 out of 10. 10 out of 10. I would do this for sure. Solid tip. Nice on you, whoever came up with this. Awesome. All right, so this one looks
