Drywall done right means satin-smooth surfaces and invisible seams. This guide teaches the techniques that guarantee success and separate the pros from the wannabes. Watch as drywall specialist Myron Ferguson shows, step-by-step, how to achieve a quality finish, avoid pitfalls, and tackle the tough stuff in close to 30 minutes of on-the-job video. And with the easy to use format you can jump to any step of the process quickly.

Because no one knows drywall better than the experts from Fine Homebuilding magazine, you’ll get the inside story and trade secrets you might never learn on your own. Ferguson covers all the angles, from mixing compound and taping inside corners to working on ceilings and, of course, sanding, sanding, and sanding.
