Default Sheet Rock Screws



Didn't set them deeply enough and mud them sufficiently, most likely.
Need to dimple the paper, but not pull through to break it.


If the wood studs weren't dry enough when installed, they still do a little
bit of shrinking. This will tend to cause even screws to get a little
higher. The problem is worse for LONGER screws so you only use screws
long enough to hold.
