I have finally finished taping..........

yummy mummy · 10-31-2008, 11:23 PM

I am finally done. I did four coat, with no sanding inbetween coats. I only sanded after the final coat.

I also did wet sanding. No dust......

.
I found it worked well for me after some practice.

I now am about to start the trim. I plan on putting some type of moulding where ceiling meets wall.

I think trim and my creativity is going to be my best friend........

Hi YM,

Finally, the pictures.....Looks great!

Thanks for posting them. I give you alot of credit for doing this on your own.

yummy mummy · 11-01-2008, 10:13 AM

Thanks Atlantic.

It is far from perfect by any stretch of the imagination.

But I am a passionate and determined individual. I don't know if that is a good thing or a bad thing....................

I can't wait to post my finished basement.

What about the cornerbead?

yummy mummy · 11-01-2008, 05:01 PM

I have decided that I really like trim.......

I will be trimming all the corner beads.

Hey, it's your basement, and your walls, you can do whatever you want to them.....

yummy mummy · 11-01-2008, 08:18 PM

Thanks Atlantic.

I just don't want to spend more time doing corner bead. I think I have about had it with taping........

, so I think I will put some sort of trim on them.
I will try to make it look like they were "intentionally" put there........lol

Depending on the type of trim you use, it may be easier to trim the corner without the cornerbead on.

yummy mummy · 11-01-2008, 10:18 PM

Jerry, please tell me the one to avoid, because there is no way in

that I will remove the corner bead.

I am open to suggestions.

What kind of trim were you looking to use? Something like this?

If so, it may not sit flat on the bead without being filled with mud.

yummy mummy · 11-01-2008, 10:46 PM

Jerry, I can't get into that link to take a look.

Would trim that is put around a doorway, work?

I think I will go to Home Depot and see what would work. I am just really sick of mudding.

Try this link. Look at the corner mouldings.

I think most HD's carry AWM products.

Way to go Yummy Mummy

yummy mummy · 11-02-2008, 08:57 AM

Thanks Mark

Jerry, I did take a look at the corner moulding and I think that might work.
Only it may not be wide enough to cover the corner bead, and lay flat against the wall.

If a corner moulding doesn't work, then I may put trim on one side that may be a little wider so that it will lay flat and trim on the other side.

Thanks for helping.

Nice mud job YM!

A pro like you should be able to finish those corner beads in no time!

I wasnt gonna mention this but..... Those pic's were taken on Halloween night 33 minutes before midnight according to the time stamp.......

Did you notice the two floating "orbs" in pic one????
