Mudding and Taping
First thing to remember is that mudding and taping is and ART form and takes
PRACTICE to perfect
A reminder of tools and materials required
Trowel

Mudding & Taping Process
It is important to NOTE:There are several ways to apply mud and tape!
We are going to focus on the “traditional” way
Starting with the mudding compound
The IDEAL consistency for the
mud is that of somewhere between
peanut butter and pancake batter
First process is to cover over all drywall screws.
Covering the Seams
Step 1: Seal the Seam with mud
Step 2: Apply the tape over the seam
Step 3: Apply compound over tape
Once compound is applied over the tape, the first part of the job
is done.
We then apply 2 more coats of compound
over the tape – feathering it wider on
each coat

We then apply 2 more coats of compound
over the tape – feathering it wider on
each coat
