Our Rhatigan Ridge drywall taping and mudding process, step by step

Three coats, proper drying time, then the sanding pass

Every taping and mudding job in Rhatigan Ridge starts with the tape coat — embedding paper or mesh tape into a thin base layer over every joint, inside corner and fastener head. The fill coat builds the Rhatigan Ridge surface flush with the board. The Rhatigan Ridge finish coat follows only after the fill is fully dry. Skipping drying time is the single most common reason taping jobs in Rhatigan Ridge homes crack, bubble or telegraph through paint. We do not rush it in Rhatigan Ridge.

Sanding and feathering — where flat walls are made

After the finish coat dries, we sand flat with a pole sander and feather the compound edges far enough past each joint that there is no ridge under paint, even when light rakes across the wall. We clean up the dust and leave the Rhatigan Ridge room ready for primer.
