automatic drywall mud pump free sample

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.

Joint compounds, also known as drywall mud, come in powdered (drying) compounds, setting type compounds, or ready-mix compounds. You can either purchase mixed powdered compounds as setting types or drying types. You’ll need your essential mixing tools: water, a pail, and an electric drill.

Every project requires a different type of drywall mud, and most projects, experts, and even beginners use the premixed drywall mud in a box or a bucket. This material has a set time to dry after 24 hours. Consider using this material for handling more extensive projects, such as basements or entire rooms.

If you have plans for a much smaller project, like fixing a few cracks in the foundation, consider powdered drywall mud as your go-to. This material sets up at a specific time increment. For example, if you purchase a 20-minute drywall mud, it should dry in 20 minutes.

Next, add the compound and use your drywall mud mixing paddle to reach desired consistency. The mix should come out stiff enough to hold its form but not so stiff that you can’t smooth it over. Avoid over mixing and adding more compound than needed for use in that specific time.

Remember that powdered compounds don’t set up, so they need to air dry, allowing you to keep the mix for an extended period. Regardless of this perk, continue to cover the mud before stepping away.

If you purchased your ready-mixed compound fresh, it requires only some stirring. If the mix has been sitting out, add a small amount of water to loosen the mud.
