Best Method for Fixing Interior Wall Cracks?
Here's the deal: I have quickset mud, fiber glass tape, drywall tape, Putty Knives & utility knives. I have unsuccessfully tried repairing a vertical drywall crack above a door frame by following the following procedure per other posts on reddit and my own research. The results of this process has been within 1 year I can see the outline of the drywall tape in the wall. Carve out & vacuum loos materials in the void Apply mud Embed Tape & apply more mud, feather it out Wait for it to dry & scrape loose material with your putty knife Light sand Apply more drywall mud & repeat the steps until I have a nice even surface Prime & Paint. Here's my question: I have been gettin all sorts of content pushed to me on how to fix drywall cracks but for some reason they are ALL non-USA accounts & they use a Toupret Fill Flex product out of a caulking gun to fill the void. I can't find the product in the United States & I'm wondering if there's a comparable product I should be using first to fill the void? Are there any steps I am missing based on what I've described above? It seems much easier to fill the void using a caulking gun than mixing drywall mud. Any help is much appreciated.
