Home and Auto Exposed Drywall Paper - Page 4

Can I just put primer on the paper before I mud over it, or do I have to go to Sherwin Williams and get this Gardz stuff? I already have the primer, so one less trip would be great.

How about me? I've never had an issue with drugs or alcohol.

And how could I go back to Hollyweird when I never left?

Obviously, you're the expert and I'll defer to your expert opinion, Jeff. That picture wasn't from the OP. The general advice I gave is fine for a DIY homeowner albeit not nearly as good as yours. I still don't understand the venom but you're a grown man and I'm not gonna try to win your heart. Glad to see you're alive and kicking.

Glad you're doing well.

Heh. Yeah, it was. I missed it too. I found out on facebook he apparently disagreed with something I did or thought I lied about something and left the Planet forever. I don't understand it but that's okay, I guess.

Wow, this thread sure got weird.

Anyway, I was concerned about the paper not being sealed because I tried to use some joint compound on one area, and the paper just seemed like it absorbed all the moisture and it took forever for the mud to dry (5+ hours, when the rest of it set and sanded in 20 minutes).

I was under the impression that that was a bad thing. Am I wrong? I honestly have no clue. Obviously, just going on with quick set instead of taking an extra sealing step seems like it would be far less work, as I'm going to have to sand and mud it a couple of times at least, anyway.

I'm just as confused now as when I started the thread . . .

FWIW, I'm pretty sure you're okay.

Here's a couple of pics of what I'm concerned about.

Dude - Overhead is a guy who has done this stuff professionally for decades. It's all he does. Yeah, he's going to have some techniques that work better for him. The average joe isn't going to want to play with speed mud. The technique I suggested for you is a novice-friendly method of dealing with your problem. As long as you have to shredded paper cleaned up to the best of your ability, it will work fine. I've done it.

Or you could just hire Jeff to fly down and fix it. He's incredibly talented with mud. Probably one of the best artisans in North America.

That's a lot of dollars. I've spent maybe 20 grand, and that's being generous and including a 3D projector lol

Clean that paper up a little better with a utility knife blade before you seal it up.

If you're really concerned about it (which I wouldn't be), cut that piece out, replace it with new drywall and be done with it.

Good luck!

Silock · 09-08-2012, 12:05 AM

Yeah, I haven't worked too hard on that particular area yet. That's just what I'm looking at tackling tomorrow.

Out with it, Bug.

Nice to see Over-head, too. You been working all night on custom jobs again? Cranky.

rad · 09-08-2012, 07:34 AM

I had this problem a while back and I hit it with a little anti-freeze.

If you don't have some handy, just siphon some blinker fluid out of your car, it's basically the same stuff.
