It’s kind of like icing a cake, but the goal is to use as little drywall mud as is needed in order to smooth out all of the rough areas. So I smeared some mud onto the wall in the middle just to test it out. A 5-gallon container like that costs under $15. You can see the container sitting on the floor in the pic above. ![]() I was using a 12-inch drywall mud pan, and a 10-inch mud knife.Īnd I always use the pre-mixed drywall mud. I started the other day (I think it was Friday) with just a few smears of drywall mud on the wall, just to see if this whole skim-coating thing would work on this wall. So for those of you who may have never done this before and want the details, let me show you how this wall went from a super rough, gouged, and torn up to patched, super smooth, and ready for paint. Of course, it’ll be even more so once I get primer and paint on it. I know that probably seems very boring to some of you, but after working on it the whole weekend, it’s one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen. Well, after an entire weekend of taping, repairing holes, skim coating, and sanding, that wall is now super smooth and ready for primer and paint. Remember how ugly and torn up the end wall in the kitchen was after my father-in-law and I removed the cabinets, and then I scraped all of the paint, wallpaper, and other stuff off? (Not the mention 10-inch-long exploratory hole that I gouged out of the drywall.)
