If you go with 90 minute stuff, you can put it on without tape, but build it
up thick enough to taper out over the original sheet rock, or it will
shurely crack out. If you don't use tape or fiberglass, it may crack,
anyway. If your technique on the 90 min. stuff, you may need to use regular
joint compound to put a final sandable finish over it. Note, if you didn't
know, the 90 min. stuff is nearly impossible to sand, at all,


Depends on what you use. This stuff

(Sheetrock EasySand 90) sands almost as easily as the premixed joint
compounds.


But you surely give up strength and reduced shrinkage--which appear to
be the hallmark of Durabond 90, the joint compound under discussion.


Not that I've ever noticed.
