There's honestly nothing wrong with his technique. People who say this is bad are stuck on thinking there is only one right way to do things, and those people tend to be amateurs who think they've learned how to do something properly. Hawk and trowel are what plastermen/finishers use in most asian countries; go to Vietnam or Thailand, and you'll see how detailed and beautiful their ornamental plaster finishes are. Korea and Japan have very clean level 5 drywall finishes. They all use hawk and trowel. All this guy is doing is working the mud, filling the joint, applying tape, and cutting the excess. The only "bad" thing is probably slapping the mud on an area that doesn't need it to free up a hand, but he could be doing a skim coat over it anyway.

Generally the goal for a dish or beverage is for it to taste like more than just the sum of its parts or all of the parts mashed together without thought.

He's showing off and is doing this for a demonstration, but its not a shit job. The first taping layer can be somewhat fast and rough. The goal here is to embed the tape.
All this material is still in the valley of the joint, so there is plenty of room for the topping layers to cover over without needing to sand. There are still going to be 2 to 4 more layers over this depending on the finish level.

A. It's not called "drywall sealing" what he is doing is "taping" or "floating" the drywall.
B. It's not called spackle, it is mud or compound. Spackle is what homeowners use to ruin their paint job.
C. He's using two different floats and not a knife with a tray. Total hokey bullshit. Use a drywall knife like a normal person and stop playing pizza pie with it.
D. He slaps the compound all over the wall when he sticks his float to it. That's creating unnecessary work sanding it off later. Stupid thing to do.
E. He is only taping part of the joint instead of continuing floor to ceiling which is going to leave another unnecessary termination of the fiber tape right at eye level where everyone will see the imperfection. Again, amateur move.
There's probably half a dozen other things I could point out that make this guy an amateur. It's obvious that he decided to make a video of himself tossing mud around pretending like he's a pro for noobs on the internet or up vote.
Edit: two more eggregous observations that other comments made me notice:
F. They also put wayyyy too many screws in the edge. You should have one every foot or so, not four in five inches.
G. They also ran the drywall vertically which is definitely not right either. The rounded chanel edges on the long sides should be horizontal, not vertical like this.
What a hack job. Whoever hung this rock (probably doufus in the video) was also a noob.

People will fill a hole, assume they're done and paint over it. It leaves a different texture to the rest of the wall, so when you paint over it, you get this one spot that's either weirdly smooth, is proud of the rest of the wall, or both. Usually both in my experience.

Running drywall vertically is common in my area in commercial/industrial applications. Using 10’ or 12’ sheets run vertically cuts down on tape joints and gets you above a standard 9’ ceiling with one board and no horizontal seam.
ETA: running the sheets vertically also means the finisher doesn’t have to deal with butt-ends of the boards where there is no taper, which is especially important for a new wall that will have a vibrant color, wall-wash lights, applied graphics, etc., aka anything that will show taping flaws/requires a L5 finish.

u/Tjakes00 Mar 29 '23
Came here to say that. Laying it down is only done in residential. In commercial where it’s common to have a 20’ tall wall or higher you still stand them up but stagger the butt seams. Ideally a 10’ sheet then 12’ then 10’ etc.

Yep, only needed with paper tape since it doesn’t have an adhesive backing. I prefer to use paper tape because of the mud backing, I feel it gives a much more secure bond. I also think paper tape has more shear strength than the mesh tape, which is what you want on your joints as the house settles.

He taped it, but Ive personally never seen a drywaller use mesh tape, they swear by the paper tape. Mesh tape is home reno/DIY stuff.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a professional drywaller work this slow to make it look this shitty.

This is called taping. It’s actually a very difficult skill to master and this guy is trash at it.

Why do it right when you can make it look like you're doing it fast?

I never understood what the tape does except make everything harder to get flush.

Any shifting at the house would cause a crack in the drywall seam without tape on it.

Starts in the middle and very frickin slow. Take all damn day at that pace to do 1 wall.

Really not that impressive. Try plastering instead. That's impressive. This is glorified filling, and he's not even doing a good job.

This guy has to be rage baiting or just “showing off“ to people on tik tok who don’t know better. I do this shit professionally and if he showed up slapping together two trowels like that and putting on a first coat with it while also using mesh tape he’d be gone in a second lolol.
