From The Build Show.
In today’s episode of Best of Build Show, Matt Risinger welcomes Lydia Crowder, drywall expert, for an in-depth look at drywall mudding tools and off-angle finishing techniques. On site, Lydia breaks down how to choose the right drywall tools for real-world jobsite conditions, with a focus on Straight Flex products, including Wide Flex and Original Straight Flex. She shares expert tips for finishing inside and outside off-angle corners, correcting framing imperfections, and achieving straighter, more durable results—especially in high-visibility areas like fireplaces and tiled walls. Lydia also demonstrates professional installation methods using modern mudding systems, offering practical, step-by-step guidance for contractors and serious DIYers. This episode delivers expert drywall education, product comparisons, and field-tested techniques to help you achieve cleaner lines, stronger corners, and higher-quality finishes on any build or renovation.
