Gypsum joint compound and plaster: which one?
Gypsum compounds are used on drywall ceilings and partitions. They spread easily, set faster than cement plaster and sand smooth. There are three kinds by job: joint compound, finishing plaster and adhesive; choose the one that matches the work.
Types and uses
- joint compound with joint tape to cover board joints and screw heads
- finishing plaster to skim a whole ceiling or wall before painting, or to level masonry
- gypsum adhesive to bond board to brick or concrete without framing
Benefits
- Bonds well to board paper and tape, so joints crack less
- Sands to a smooth, primer-ready finish
- Mix to the ratio on the bag and use within the working time
- Interior use only; use cement-based products outdoors or in wet areas
