you're looking for a quick fix and you're you're trying to minimize dust and you just have one little hole to do maybe this will work for you but again that's a lot of mud for a small little fix in a maybe situation so again i'm going to suggest never to buy this product and just as a side note if your contractor is going to say oh we're going to do all kinds of dust dustless measures and they go to bring that mud out you just tell them to put it away because you don't want to have a crappy job in your house thank you very much don't you love getting information from someone who's not paid to tell you what to think okay the next information is going to be all the different powders that are out there now we're going to break this down there are two kinds of drywall tapes that we used primarily one is fiberglass okay and one is paper generally speaking paper tape is for all of the all-purpose pre-mixed drywall lightweight compounds that are on the market like the box down here and there are all kinds of advanced machines that commercial drywall tapers use guys are doing new houses all day long they're they're paid for speed and they spend good money on really high-tech equipment as a homeowner you're not but it's still my favorite mud because it's the smoothest and it sands the easiest now they make different kinds of mud in these boxes but the key is to look at the labeling and it has to say lightweight all-purpose drywall compound all those words have to be together in order for you to be comfortable you're getting a good product now depending where you're watching this video they might sell in a box they might sell it in a pail right so don't be freaked out about that what you're looking for is all-purpose drywall compound there are lots of companies selling it so you can go to a lot of different stores and see a lot of different brands recognized but it's all basically the same thing okay all-purpose lightweight drywall compound and you are gonna be good to go it works with the paper tape and you can actually do your entire project with just that one compound so if you're doing a basement you don't need to buy a lot of technology you can just go with one kind of compound and keep your life simple all right because there's a lot of other tools equipment and messing up muck and mixing your own mud and everything else that if you're not moving fast enough that your mud has to dry so that you're not standing around waiting for it to dry then you don't need all this other technology but if it's a small project and you're trying to get it all done in one day now we move into the next realm of mix your own compounds and fiberglass mesh tape the reason we have to use fiberglass mesh tape is because these additives that are in these different products here it causes the tape to lift off the wall now this has an adhesive property so actually you put this on the drywall before the mud when the bedding process for paper tape is totally different and if you're interested in seeing how to do that kind of process you're going to have to give this video a thumbs up and subscribe to the channel right now because we got a video coming out real soon going to go through all the diy first
