That would about double the cost of instalation, and remember an oil
base cant be the first coat on drywall, so you advocate 3 coats on
every side to seal out harmfull unscrubbed fly ash contaminents.


I think it would increase the cost by at least ten fold. Someone
would have to put each sheet on saw horses, prime them, wait for the
primer to dry, put first coat on, put second coat on and then
install. If the sheets needed to be cut, the cut edges would need
the same labor and time intensive treatment. It would be VASTLY
cheaper to just throw the bad sheets away!

You've got to stop playing troll, HeyBub. You're catching over the
limit on fish.


Yeah, you're probably right. Either my skill set is not quite good enough or
some folks can't tell the difference between satire and a loon... although I
suppose it's possible to be a satirist AND a loon.

Still, I think adrenaline is good for people. I'm especially enamored of a
t-shirt I saw recently. It featured a pregnant woman wearing a veil and
burka with super-imposed cross-hairs. The legend read: "One shot, TWO
kills."
