Drywall jobs are a common occurrence in my line of work. I was fixing a cracked seam at a customer’s house and had about a 15 mm deep gap to fill. Generally, I’ve just used the pre-mixed stuff from a bucket, but that dries so slowly and shrinks so much that a job like this would have needed to be spread over at least four days.
Decided to give the quick-setting bag stuff a shot, and wow - what a difference. Not only could I pre-fill the gap in one day, but I also managed to get the tape over it, leaving only the finish coat for tomorrow. This will save me literal months over my career.
I love discovering good new products and tools.
If you’re inexperienced with it, the regular stuff is probably better. This specific hot mud only has a working time of around 30 minutes so you need to get it on the walls quick.
You’re probably right. I’m doing closets first because i know i suck at it. Maybe once those are done I can experiment a bit more.
