Tinting Drywall Mud

JustMe

You're welcome. Just some thoughts that came to me as to why the company I'm doing work for - including doing certain kinds of research for - should give it a try.

I read about the colour coming to the top when I did a Google search for Never-Miss. A page on Online Drywall's site said this:

"When Never-Miss dries the color rises to the top. This allows for the color to be sanded away so it will not bleed through your painted surface"

I'm thinking they might mean this happens when the mud dries, and not just Never-Miss.

The last jobsite I was left to wrap up (a large commercial one) had more than a 1/2 dozen (yellow) patches left unsanded by some of the others that I luckily caught. I wasn't even looking for them - I was doing final sanding on some other (blue) patches - till I came across the first missed yellow patch. Took me a little while to go back through the area I was wrapping up and find them. If the colour does sand away, then such shouldn't happen.

Also, the painter's helper went and primed a small alcove there which hadn't been final sanded yet. Took a bit to straighten that out. If I/we could've told them to not paint anything that was still showing colourant, it might've prevented that.

Ive never heard of this before. Especially tinting every room a different color. I tint my mud yellow with normal paint tint to do touch ups after prime if I'm left around to do touch ups (normally the painter does this)

You banned him for posting that?

Come on, if that's all he was doing was being informative that's not cool!

Free Never-Miss!

I'll say it one more again, Blue RIT Dye, it works too gooder. DOES NOT BLEED. I got my black widow too, yesterday, pretty slick. I found myself watching every video on their sites while i was there.

I ordered the nevermiss sample. Thought it was fair to pay the shipping...we'll see how it works

Nathan

No, I didn't ban him. Just showing him the no self promotion rules.

odd.... why does it say "banned" under his name?

JoeMudder

His nickname is the name of a product and when you click on the link in his profile it forwards to another site with his product on it. It looks to me like he's promoting his product here.

first post on the board.

your run of the mill 'chalk line' chalk seems to work well for me and has not steered me wrong. I've never had any complaints. I have used blue & black (which turns grey) with success. cheap too.

I use Never Miss on my skim coat on every job. There is a huge difference between this and chalk. Never Miss seals the joint and helps with the joint flash. If you ever try it, you won't go back to chalk. It is the best for your final coat. Worth a try! I'm not a saleman, just a drywall finisher. Just letting you know there is a purpose for the tint. Not just to look a different color.
