Two different answers: Quickest is to spray on Tuff-Hide. Bruce Brown, CEO, Asars Inc., Atlanta, Georgia Then have your painter use a high quality primer and finish paint. Also, dust control during spraying is essential. Start with a level 4 sanded with 220, spray apply a high solids product like equalizer or Sprayplas, then buff with a spent 220 pad. Giles Turgeon Green Mountain Drywall Co., Inc., Wallingford, Vermont Let it dry for a day, sand it the next day. It’s quick, cost effective and does a great job. We have been using Continental’s Rapid Deco® Level 5 system. Now make sure you are trying to get a level 5 finish and not trying to turn a bad frame/drywall job into a flat surface-that’s a whole new question right there. If you don’t mind a little stipple, use a small nap, keep it even, prime/paint and go have a beer. The best way, in my opinion, is still to water down a good mud and roll it on with a thick nap roller and pull it tight. If you have a great spray man, there are lots of really quick products that cover well and are priced right. Chris Estrada, Extreme Drywall Concepts, LLC, Glendale, Arizona Please remember every job is different, and you may have to take the slow route. I believe the quickest way is to spray the final coat with a smooth coat product that comes in a 5 gallon bucket. Skimming the walls covers up all the imperfections, but is time-consuming. There is an upfront cost, and it’s not free!! Much quicker, easier and cleaner than the old traditional method of thinning down compound, skimming and sanding. We still do a light sand after prime coat with a pole sander or electric sanders to give a pristine smooth finish. Then use the new level 5 primers and apply correct mils as per spec of the paint product being used at least 12 mils. Explain the differences between the two, the reasons you can see imperfections under different lighting conditions and what you can expect of each level of finish. We have to educate builders, GCs, architects and owners not to use LED and 500 watt lights shining across the surface as a standard for point-up, and don’t use semi-gloss paint unless you are going to spec level 5 finish. Spray apply USG Sheetrock® Brand Tuff-Hide™.Ĭover it in wood and I guarantee you won’t see any drywall imperfections, hence a Level 5 :)
Having the painter create the “level 5 finish” saves both the painter and the drywaller from multiple point-up and spot priming returns and saves the final occupants from seeing the unavoidable evidence of all the returns, plus, it removes the drywaller from the scene once the painter has commenced work, making them both very happy! I haven’t found sprayable level 5 coatings to match the finish of a true mud applied level 5.Įducate the design team sufficiently that they choose to require the use of one of the many proprietary coatings specifically designed for this purpose over an inspected and accepted Level 4 finish. I prefer to use a Graco Mark V with USG all purpose (or other fairly hard mud) with about 5 pints of water per 3.5 gal box, spray, and have second person wiping down if possible. Light sand and touch-up, and it always turns out beautiful. Spray drywall mud through an airless over a level 4 finish. What is the quickest and most efficient way to attain a Level 5 finish?
