Mud, Tape, Sand, and Texture Drywall

speaking of mud let's start taping up all of these seams when it comes to mudding this your first time once you mix it up into kind of like a sour cream consistency and you have your drywall tape and your taping knife what you're going to do is find your seam get a good amount on there take your tape rip off the desired amount bridge the seams use your taping knife press it in while squeezing everything else out not too hard and anything else comes out on top just put it on over the tape to get a better stickiness and when it comes to corners take that same tape and you'll see a little bit of a crease down the middle just fold it exactly how you need it lay it down and press it in the same way the tape is all dry the next step is going to be to lightly sand it i'm using 120 and then we have two more stages of floating the tape we're gonna use like a six inch drywall knife and then i believe a nine or ten inch and then after that we'll do the texture [Music] this is orange field because i currently have orange build we're going to set it on medium we've shaken this vigorously as the can says and then according to this hold it one to two feet away in a circular pattern my experience with this is when you put too much it gunks down so we're gonna go try to go on the little light side and then add as it dries i'm not gonna do this well because last night i had a little inspiration that came to me i think what i'm gonna do is remove all this trim and make this really wide uh wainscoting kind of built-in trim part a little bit more grand little victorian style so uh we'll do that tomorrow but today let's do tile
