Hi, my name is Mark McClain. Now, we’re going to get ready to show you how to skim the patches. We’re going to go back and show you what we did the first time. We fixed these dried wall nail pops. I’m going to go back and put another coat on that drywall on top of those, one at a time. This is a different product, this is vinyl and this is the final mud that we’ve put on our patches today.
We’re going to go ahead and just put the mud right back over the top when the mud that has already been basecoat is already dry. Now, this would be a finish coat. I’m going to go ahead and just put the mud right back on and we’re going to take it right back off. We try not to build this up too much because then we are going to see this patch coming through the existing texture so, that’s why we put the mud on and take it right back off. If you keep putting the mud over the top and leaving it heavy, it’s going to actually show when you go to paint.
The same thing, we’re going to go back through and we’re going to skim over the patches that we’ve done earlier. As you can see this coat is a different type of mud, more creamy and smooth. It comes pre-mixed in the box and we’ll leave for a nice, smooth, finish.
These come actually in small pails, pre-mixed pails or you can buy smaller variety pail as well. This is just a vinyl coat. Basically, it is just a finish mud. It is definitely the finish mud. There again, you want to make sure that you’re still working on a nice, clean surface and making sure that this area is well protected.
The other one will bleed through the paint, so, it’s like a chemical mud. It will bleed through the paint and this one won’t bleed though the paint. It’s probably the advantage of using this one. In our next clip, we’re going to show you how to do some texturing.
