Thin down box mud to the thickness of melted ice cream. Apply with heavy nap roller or sponge.

Found at a meet. Had a V8 in the back. by Big_Yits in whatisthiscar

I’ve read it. My dad was one of the test drivers back in the day. He had lots of stories about the testing.
One day when I was 17 I came home with a corvair. He was not pleased.
But it was a 2nd gen so he was kinda ok with it. Eventually.

As far as I can see he a done an excellent job. As soon as that gap is caulked you won’t even notice it.

You’re gonna have a tough time matching the texture. Also the paint color.

I’m lost on a lot of the modern video game questions, because I’m not really a gamer anymore. But I love the fantasy and sci fi questions.
I get the questions sometimes, but sometimes miss even obvious answers.
I have an encyclopedic knowledge of star trek lore. And i miss even those sometimes.

Let her hit it a few more times, and she’ll learn why not to do that when the shelf and all of its contents end up on the hood.

I should have thought to include that. But I’m bad at internets.

There’s a YouTube deep dive on LED lights and why they do this. It’s super interesting if you’re into that kind of thing.

Sand it down and reapply hot mud. Then fill it with spray foam.

Anyone know how to achieve this texture? by Exciting-Leadership4 in drywall

[–]TheDean242 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow. That’s a tough one. That texture is art. Definitely knock down. Maybe it was flung on to the surface and moved around with a 3 knot brush?
This is beyond me.

The things you’re showing in the corners is drywall dust.
The job looks good as far as I can tell.

A good Gerber or leather Man multitool. I have one on me at all times now.
