question of the day
Q. I did a good job taping my drywall in my laundry room. I did three coats and the walls and ceiling feels nice and smooth. My problem is the inside corners on the wall and ceiling. I got the tape coat on nice and smooth. I'm doing the second coat on one edge, letting it dry, and then doing the second edge. I read online that it is easier for Diyer to let it dry, and then you don't stand the chance of ruining your work. But I just can't seem to get the tape to cover. After the second coat is it still showing through. Any suggestions?
Read Answer
A. A third coat should help. Completely covering the tape isn't as important as getting a smooth finish. If a little tape shows but can't be felt, it shouldn't show after painting.
