TSI Drywall Mud System?

Have any of you guys seen this or used it? Sounds cutting edge. Or scary! Watch the video and tell me what you think. As an old schooled drywall finisher, I don't know.

Looks like somebody with a fetish for Ghostbusters has gone out in their garage and made a drywall exterminator gun.

Re: TSI Drywall Mud System?

They are saying level 3 at the end of one time over. Level 3 is not real good. How hard would it be to trust not taping the joints? Or angles? Real hard for me! And did you notice the cost of the gun??? 5,000.00 and you have your own sprayer and air compressor!

Re: TSI Drywall Mud System?

I wonder why there is no footage of any corners? The other thing I would worry about would be sanding? As stated level 3?????? I would wait untill I hear someone say it is the best $5k they have spent before jumping myself.

Re: TSI Drywall Mud System?

I agree with you, LS. Can't imagine it is worth anything near $5K. Not a chance.

Re: TSI Drywall Mud System?

Isn't level 3 one coat over tape, then 4 is two and 5 is three coats over tape? Before sanding.

Re: TSI Drywall Mud System?

I would take a stab and demo it. It would be interesting to see what it has for long term results. It sure did fill the gaps in that awful rock job though.

At least we finally have a level-headed answer here. I would like to try it, too. Seems interesting.

Re: TSI Drywall Mud System?

and as far as the noise is concerned about it, they do make mufflers for air tools, I don't see why there wouldn't be an aftermarket solution for that

Re: TSI Drywall Mud System?

that looks like fun to sand, if your idea of fun is poking yourself in the eyeball with a toothpick.
