Hello, I want to require your help, please, with a similar problem: we are putting the plastic cover on the metallique structure. And when we have to fix it at the sides on the bottom in these special rails, the plastic was cut along. How we have to fix them without cutting the plastic?? Can anyone answer me very rapidly?? Thank you very much in advance!

Hello Christine, >> Pretty easy fix for the tape: * Get a small tub of vinyl spackling compound or "joint cement". * Gently lift the tape, and put just a tiny bit of "mud" onto the wall with a narrow putty knife. A thin "see-thru" layer is fine. * Next, use a wider (4"-6") knife and spread an even layer on top of the tape to "set" the tape into the wall mud. Use LIGHT pressure at the wall-corner! Ya don't wanna tear into the corner tape. * Object here is to have a seamless application of mud over this tape area. After it's dry, LIGHTLY "feather-sand" your patch with a 220-grit sanding sponge. * Vacuum off the dust from area, prime (1 coat) and paint (2 coats!!). The most common is FLAT on ceilings...usually because people don't want sheen from lamps, etc. on a ceiling. However, Eggshell is a nice choice too. Very subtle sheen (depending on brand!!). TOOLS: Use the best brushes/roller-covers you can buy. * Get a nice stiff roller-frame...$5-$10 for a good one. * Buy/borrow a STIFF pole!! Painting overhead with a "bendy" pole/roller-frame is a PITA! * Use a 3/4" or maybe 1" nap for popcorn ceilings...3/8" or 1/2" for smooth surfaces. Enjoy! Faron

rrah- I have decades of experience remodeling my own home, and big drywall jobs are ones that I leave to the experts. However, what you're describing should be pretty easy and would be a good learning project. You just need to be patient and know the techniques. I suggest you check out the link below or get a book at Home Depot or elsewhere to get oriented. None of it is hard, but there are some things that aren't obvious the first time. One thing you should know is that outside corners aren't simply taped over: they have a metal reinforcing angle that is screwed or nailed in place, and you will have to repair it by adding some drywall screws to bring it up tight against the wall before you apply more mud. You may also have to do a little sanding or roughing up of the wall any place you are adding mud because a painted surface sometimes won't hold the compound as well as you would like and that makes it harder to "blend" the patched area with the adjacent painted area. Good luck. Here is a link that might be useful: How to drywall
