comp56 Posted November 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 Mudding continues, has anyone seen this method of applying tape, using a brush then scraping it off flat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comp56 Posted November 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2017 continuing on with drywall mudding, I put a small 20" x 34" etched glass pane that I had laying around in the wall that goes around stairs. I just sandwiched the plate between sill trim on both sides......This way some natural light can come through from window in master bedroom. will put a picture frame border around it on both sides once drywall and paint is all finished.....

regopit Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 When the primer goes on things are getting close to the end. Nice job Comp and as using a brush for the compound I've seen guys use a 9in roller for the finish coat. http://www.finehomebuilding.com/2011/05/31/roll-compound-on-your-drywall-seams-for-faster-easier-taping 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
