Regular drywall in bathroom
Hi,
Don't have a sheet of purple board when I need one. Will I have problems if I use regular drywall, but coat it with a pretty good primer? Thanks, Aaron |

Thanks, Aaron If your bathroom is well-ventilated and there has never been a mold/mildew issue regular drywall is fine. I use the green drywall--the paper is treated. Go with a good brand of primer and paint and you'll be all set. |
