Drywall Finishing FAQ

What is drywall finishing?

  • Drywall finishing involves applying joint compound to the seams and screws of drywall sheets and sanding it smooth to create a seamless surface.

What are the different types of joint compound?

  • There are two main types:
    • Setting-type: Dries through a chemical reaction.
    • Ready-mixed: Dries through evaporation.

How many coats of joint compound are needed?

  • The number of coats depends on the desired finish level, ranging from Level 0 (no finish) to Level 5 (highest finish). Level 5 requires at least three coats.

How long does joint compound take to dry?

  • Drying time varies by type, humidity, and temperature:
    • Ready-mixed: Typically dries in 24 hours.
    • Setting-type: Can take 24-48 hours.

How do I sand joint compound?

  • Use a sanding sponge or fine-grit sandpaper, sanding in a circular motion from the outside in. Always wear a dust mask for protection.

What is texture?

  • Texture involves applying a pattern to the drywall surface using a spray gun or trowel, with styles like popcorn, knockdown, and orange peel.

Can I paint over textured drywall?

  • Yes, but use a thick nap roller to ensure paint reaches all crevices.
