joints in sheetrock
You can fill it with a setting type compaound like durarock.
wrote in message ... My sheetrock is up, but the panels aren't all perfectly flush against one another. In most cases where there is a gap it's 1/16 - 1/8, but there are a couple seams that are up to 1/4 inch. What is the best method to attack these when taping and mudding? Should I cut thin strips of sheetrock and fit them in before taping, or will the taping itself be sufficient to cover the seam? Any particular suggestions? Thanks. |

Setting-type compound, sure, but one that can be sanded such as EasySand. -- Regards, Doug Miller (alphageek at milmac dot com) It's time to throw all their damned tea in the harbor again. |

Setting-type compound, sure, but one that can be sanded such as EasySand. Durabond is tailor-made for the OP's situation. It's stronger than regular joint compound or EasySand, so if he has any concerns due to the joint gaps Durabond is an excellent way to go. The only caveat is to make sure that the Durabond coat(s) are smooth and not overfilled - leave room for the easier-to-sand finish coat(s). R |
