I am installing sheetrock vertically. Where the tapered seams meet, they

sheetrock at the seams, I am getting blowouts. Is there some sort of trick
or recommendation you have used to prevent this, other than using blocking?
I am trying to stay as far away from the edge as possible, but then I miss
the stud.
Thanks.



I thought once that since some rooms are 8 feet tall, that sheet rock
went verticle. I was corrected and told that horizontal makes seams
better to hide.

A quick question, are you using a drywall gun, or a regular cordless?
