How to Tape and Mud Drywall. Primed with an understanding of mudding materials, it’s time to familiarize yourself with the process as outlined here.

When you discovered that a standard sheet of five-eighths-inch dry wall weighs 73.6 pounds, you wisely decided not to try to muscle the 32-square-foot sheets to the ceiling of your new room addition.

The tape is failing in only three areas, but one of them is on the ceiling, which is 18 feet high. I thought this was very expensive and it looks very easy to fix but I do not know what to do.

To get professional results, you’ll have to have great drywall taping tools. I love using my stainless-steel mud pan. I use a flexible taping knife that’s just under 6 inches wide.
