  1. Went to your affiliate link on both the cabinets and the tape and no longer there. đŸ˜ĸ

  2. Need this so much. 1940s house. Thank you!

  3. She makes the best video’s

  4. No words – really. You do a phenomenal job – explaining, inspiring. Just wow.

  5. What is better, this crack tape or Fiba Tape?

  6. I really like the way she explains things ….products and processes. Also her voice is so pleasing. She embodies confidence and encouragement. Thank you, Leah.

  7. I have a swirl plaster design on my ceiling and walls with stress cracks. How would I fix it? Thank you

  8. The easiest way is to open up the crack then fill it with compound.

  9. Somehow, YouTube knows this is my next project. Unfortunately, the product you recommend is discontinued. I'm looking for an upgrade from fiberglass mesh tape. Any substitution recommendations? (+1, HGTV should be negotiating a deal with you, even for shorts between shows).

  10. Very good demonstration and very well said. Never saw the tape before but betcha I'll be using it from now on.

  11. Thank you for the lesson. I have dry wall stress cracks on a wall. This will help me

  12. But what do you do about the texture after? and the area that you work on is smooth did you take all of the texture off in that area first?

  13. Ok………………… but you should really get a professional people….
    Everyone can do cosmetic fixes and repairs.. but it's importsnt that a professional (or even in some cases a more expensive engineer/specialist)
    Looks at thoes kinds of cracks…

    Strctural integrity is important…
    It may well be that the underlying cause of thoes cracks is a serious problem…
    (Like bad uneven foundation/…. for example)

    And if so it's usually best to catch such issues early

  14. " so it never comes back " (?) Thats a pretty big ' statement / promise '

  15. Awesome Lea that’s what I’m doing right now before I go to paint the walls of my recently acquired house. Txs for all

  16. That tape is horrible. Looks awful, bubbles and falls off. And still cracks again anyway.

  17. I agree. You're the best, Leah. Thanks for mentioning plaster. Some of us have more plaster than we know what to do with! 😉

  18. Just what I needed. Thanks Leah. You're fantastic!

  19. My crack is uneven…it down half inch on one side (sagging) I tried to fix it but the weight of the board is too much.
