How to apply a tight skim coat to a sheetrock patch around a thermostat is what this howto video is about. You don't have to be patching drywall around an existing thermostat to actually see how to apply a tight skim coat to a drywall patch. You can still see the benefits of using a tight skim coat. What is a tight skim coat? I've heard about skimming a sheetrock wall with drywall mud but I've never heard why you would put a different coat of mud on a wall called a tight skim coat...what's the difference, you say. The difference is if your sheetrock patch area doesn't look as good as you think you could've done when you applied the skim coat, then sand the wall a little then apply another coat of skimming material & this time it would be called a tight skim coat since you are filling in more of the imperfections that may not have covered when you applied the initial skim coat....make sense? Applying a tight skim coat just makes your drywall patches & sheetrock repairs come out looking that much more better, since you are not a professional sheetrock finisher. That's why VideoJoe makes all these howto videos. He goes on to say if he can do it then you can do it since he is just an average Joe. Applying a tight skim coat to sheetrock patches is easy...when you know how. Watch & learn as VideoJoeShows you how to apply a tight skim coat to a drywall sheetrock wall patch.
