You have your drywall flat box and handle all customized to your liking; now what? What should you inspect before you start running your finishing box? What is there to look for and how do you fill your flat box with joint compound so you can begin?

Read on to learn all you need to know about setting up a drywall flat box. You can also check out our featured video from Drywall Nation which provides a complete start-to-finish overview of how to set up a drywall flat box as well as everything you need to look out for before starting your project.

Before getting started, it"s important to make sure that you take the right steps with your drywall flat box so you can maximize your efficiency and work quality

The first thing you want to do before getting started is to visually inspect your mud box and make sure you did a really good job of cleaning it the last time you used it. Cleaning your automatic taping tools at the end of every work day will help you get started that much faster on the following job.

Next up, you want to inspect your trowel bar and ensure that your trowel bar is nice and concave. Make sure there"s no dried up mud or chunks of material underneath the bar itself.

The second thing you want to inspect is the actual height of your drywall flat box blade. You want to make sure you have at least a fingernail width of blade along the back. That blade is what"s going to ensure that your seams are feathered nice and smoothly along the top and bottom edge.

To pump joint compound into your flat box, you"re going to start by submersing your pump directly into our mud contained within your bucket. First, prime your pump to make sure there"s no water, air or anything else hiding in the mechanisms.

You"re now good to go! If you"re still looking into which drywall taping tools are best for you, be sure to check out LEVEL5"s selection of drywall flat box sets - these are the most cost effective option for drywall finishers who would like to make the transition from hand finishing to automatic taping tools.

Drywall taping has always been a notoriously messy, imprecise undertaking. In the past, no matter the size of the job, this repair and construction work typically involved buying large quantities of drywall mud (and potentially mixing it up with water using a drill and paddle bit), scooping the thick paste into a pan, and smearing it on the wall with a joint knife. In the process, nearly as much mud ended up caked on your clothing, floor, and tools as it did on the wall! Fortunately, one new tool on the market aims to take do-it-yourself jobs of drywall taping and repairing to a professional level. Discover an ingenious new way to tackle your next drywall project with much success—and less mess and hassle—using the revolutionary MudGun Kit for Small Repairs from Hyde Tools.

The MudGun itself should feel familiar to handy homeowners as it resembles and works similarly to a caulk gun. Squeeze the gun’s trigger, and drywall mud is dispensed from the tip. A controlled speed and precise applicator provide the exact amount of mud you need, right where you want it, plus the multiple nozzles and a finishing head ensure consistent results. No more scooping too much or too little compound from the pan, and no need to smear it swiftly on the wall before it slides off your taping knife. Best of all? No more worrying about any evidence of your drywall repair showing through a paint job.

Before the MudGun, DIYers often whipped up more mud than they needed in order to achieve the right ratio of mix to water or bought larger quantities of premixed mud than actually necessary in order to eliminate running out on the job. Not so with this new mud-dispensing design. Convenient tubes of drywall compound, called MudPaks, are premixed to the perfect consistency for taping and pop right into the cylindrical body of the MudGun before—and even during—any job. As you apply the mud to wall joints, the MudPak collapses in the cylinder. Run out of compound on a job? Simply open the MudGun, remove the spent tube, and pop in a new one without wasting a minute. It’s just that easy! A single MudPak covers up to 20 feet—often all you need for a small wall repair—and is sold in six-tube cases. When the job is done, simply wipe down the MudGun parts with plain water.

With the MudGun for Small Repairs, you can do everything professional tapers do—just with a whole lot more accuracy than in a typical DIY job. The two specialized embedding nozzles and a finishing head included in the kit take care of the bulk of the work as you continue to pump the trigger. The flat joint nozzle enables you to dispense a continuous bead of mud over drywall joints when you’re embedding drywall paper tape, and the kit also includes a six-inch taping knife for smoothing out ridges or removing excess mud before it dries. Switch to an inside corner nozzle and a corner taping tool to create crisp corners where walls meet or where a wall meets a ceiling—a task that can be a headache with traditional taping methods. When it comes to applying and smoothing a uniform amount of mud to inside corners, a flat taping knife simply cannot compare with the precision of the MudGun.

Once you’ve put a couple of coats of drywall compound on a joint, waited for it to dry, and sanded it smooth, the true test of a successful taping job lies in the application of a perfect top coat of mud over a joint. Here’s where the MudGun truly excels. Before the MudGun, the top coat had to be applied by hand, which proved difficult for anyone who hadn’t been taping walls for years. Now, the MudGun does all the fine-tuning work for you. Merely by gently squeezing the trigger and moving the finishing head slowly but firmly over the joint, you’ll create a uniform, ultra-thin finish coat. Once completely dry, the smoothed-over wall needs just a little sanding before it takes on a flawless new look with either paint or wallpaper.

What"s equally as important as your automatic taping and finishing tools? You need a reliable mud pump. The drywall compound pump, or mud pump, is necessary to quickly fill your automatic tools such as a flat box or automatic taping tool, and keep the job moving with minimal delay. Without a reliable pump, you’ll be spending more time fiddling with a pump that is difficult to clean, or worse, resorting to hand-filling your tools, which is time consuming, and counter productive.

No pump = no tools, so you need a workhorse that will withstand a lot, and get through your workday, every time. TheLevel5 Drywall Compound Pumpis constructed of billet aluminum, making it much stronger, and more durable than your typical cast aluminum construction.

Another important quality is resistance to corrosion. Tools built of poor quality and materials are prone to rust and corrosion. The anodization on the Level5 Drywall compound pump makes it highly resistant to corrosion, as well as wear and tear!

A good seal is important too! Typically for compound pumps, a rubber seal is used, but the problem with rubber is that it will slowly deteriorate, and before you know it, you’re leaking all over the place. The Level5 Drywall Compound Pump uses a composite urethane cup seal, which provides much longer wear life vs. the traditional rubber seals.

Working with mud can be messy, and when you’re on the job, it"s important to be able to easily clean and maintain your compound pump. You should not be spending any extra time fiddling with small screws or components to clean your pump, or to switch valves.

That’s why the Level5 Compound pump has easy clean features, like grenade pins and easy-release latches on its tube and handle. It also comes with a wrench, and a built-in wrench mount so that you are always prepared to switch from gooseneck to box-filler valve, or make a quick adjustment with ease.

Theoretically, yes you can, but it"s a slow process, and at which point you may be better off hand finishing, as you will impede the speed of the work. The combination of your automatic tools and your mud pump will pay for itself fairly quickly by the speed and quality job that you can achieve.

We think the Level5 Drywall Compound Pump is the best drywall mud pump on the market, and truly the underestimated workhorse in the arsenal of any professional drywall finisher. LEVEL5’s drywall compound pump has been made to meet finisher’s demand for reliability, affordability and workability. This beast of a taping tool is built to withstand years of heavy use. In fact, the Level5 compound pump has been tested for over 250,000 cycles without the need or repair, or replacement parts.

Drywall mud"s redeeming quality vs its better qualified plaster cousins is its solubility. Adding any water to drywall mud will slowly dissolve it. Add a lot of water or hot water to mud (in any state) will start to dissolve the material, quite quickly if water overpowers.

The only possibly issue is if you poured down a chunk that blocked things then put more stuff down the drain - in effect blocking your blocked mud. Otherwise water will dissolve whatever is stuck and it will be a non-issue. Should you put vast amounts down a drain? Only if you are confident that this blockage can"t become blocked. If you have clean pvc you could probably dump bags of drywall mud powder down without an issue - I wouldn"t recommend testing this though.
