Hand taping tips. V cutting buttjoints and prefill helps with structural movement and settling. You can use any size knife. I usually use a 6” knife to tape with but in this video I just used my 5”. I’m going slow to show how to apply the mud to the wall when taping, you can see the pressure and how much mud I put on the wall. When you wipe the tape down, dont press to hard, you want to leave mud behind the tape. If you press to hard you will squeeze the mud from behind the tape and it will leave air bubbles in behind the tape which will show when you start coating.
