I wouldn’t dare begin a job without having quality tools to work with because I have discovered through trial and error that there really isn’t a substitute for quality tools and that goes for equipment also. I have been in the home improvement business for almost a quarter of a century and I still marvel at a drywall finishing job that looks great. But they are prone to rusting if left in water to long, as opposed to stainless steel knives that do not rust at all. http://carlo4odonnell.edublogs.org/2010/10/13/safety-tips-when-using-kitchen-knives/When it comes to bedding the tape down or applying your second application you should use a 10″ or 12″ knife, and for your final float or application of mud you should use at least a 12″ knife or maybe even a 14″ knife. For applying drywall tape I suggest you use a 3″, 4″, 6″ knife. I personally have over twenty different drywall knives that are various sizes : 3″, 4″, 6″, 8″, 10″, 12″, 14″ and even 18″. You can decide which one is more comfortable for you and choose accordingly. Finishing drywall (sheetrock) is a highly skill craft that can take years to perfect and master. I am a drywall finisher as well and I take pride in the work I do and I have been regarded by clients and fellow contractors as a fine finisher. TOOLS OF THE TRADEand away we go.So let’s get started… First of all, I think it’s important that you should use good quality tools to work with. I love working with all these knives and each one works better in certain places and situations, but I don’t recommend that you go out and purchase all these knives, however, you will need at least three of them.Vintage Pocket KnivesBuckmaster Knife
