APPLICATION GUIDELINES » SHEETROCK® BRAND JOINT COMPOUNDS AND FINISHES


For one-day drywall finishing – For interior plasterboard and gypsum fibre boards.– Weighs 25% less than conventional setting-type compounds.– Sanding ease similar to a ready-mixed, all-purpose joint compound.– Unique humidity resistance.– Exceptional bond with low shrinkage.– Check-crack resistance in heavy fills.– Choice of setting times.

Description SHEETROCK® Brand Lightweight Setting-Type Joint Compounds (EASY SAND™) are chemically setting compoundsfor plasterboard interiors that permit same-day joint finishing, and, usually, next-day decoration. Compounds arelightweight for easy handling and sand easily for fast, smooth finishing. They are ideal for heavy fills and arevirtually unaffected by humidity. They provide low shrinkage and superior bond, which makes them excellent forlaminating plasterboard to plasterboard, to sound-deadening boards, and to above-grade concrete surfaces. Inaddition, they can be used for filling, smoothing, and finishing interior concrete ceilings and above-gradeconcrete; and for finishing joints in gypsum fibre boards.

To meet varying job requirements, a full line has been developed to provide a choice in setting times. The suffix number identifying each joint compound indicates an approximate setting time. For example, EASY SAND

90 sets in approximately 85-130 minutes. Other setting times available are 20 (20-30 minutes); 45 (30-80minutes); 210 (180-240 minutes); and 300 (240-360 minutes). For patching applications requiring very quicksetting, SHEETROCK® Brand Patching Compound–EASY SAND™ 5, with a setting time of 8-12 minutes, is avail-able.

Advantages Lightweight formula. Weighs 25% less than conventional setting-type joint compounds. Handling and applicationis simpler, easier, and faster.Easy sanding. Unlike conventional setting-type joint compounds, these compounds sand easily—similar toready-mixed, all-purpose joint compounds. Joint finishing is faster, easier, smoother.Saves time and money. These compounds provide important labour and material cost reductions. One-dayfinishing with next-day decoration ensures rapid job completion and earlier occupancy. Choice of setting timesaids work flow.Quickly mixed for immediate use. Easy to mix—simply combine with water and stir. Compounds are applied aftershort soaking period and remixing.Resists shrinkage and edge-cracking. Compounds tolerate small amounts of excess water that would otherwisecause delayed shrinkage. Fill and finish coats can be applied when compound is hard—but still damp—withminimum danger of delayed shrinkage and cracking.Resists humidity changes. Setting rates are virtually unaffected by high humidity or changes in humidity.Application can be made in weather conditions that drying-type compounds would delay job completion.Multiple use. Compounds are also excellent for patching and smoothing interior plasterboard and concretesurfaces because they provide superior bond, low shrinkage, and fast setting-action.

Limitations 1. Setting action cannot be delayed or prevented by dilution with water.2. Not to be applied over moist surfaces or surfaces likely to become moist, or on below-grade surfaces or sur-

faces projecting outside building structure unless protected from direct exposure to moisture.3. Before using over new interior concrete surfaces, allow concrete to age 60 days or more. Remove protrusions,

ridges, form or parting oils, grease, and efflorescence.4. Prior to using any epoxy coating over any surface treated with joint compound, consult the epoxy coating manu-

facturer and follow manufacturer’s specific recommendations regarding the preparation or suitability of sub-strates for the epoxy coating. Many epoxy coatings exert significant shear stress on the substrate as the strongepoxy film shrinks while curing/drying. This stress can cause the bond of the joint compound to fail, resulting indelamination problems.

Directions Preparation In cold weather during plasterboard joint finishing, minimum surface, water, mix, and air temperature of 8°C mustbe ensured until joints are completely dry. Adequate ventilation shall be provided to carry off excess moisture.

Plasterboard Position and apply plasterboard in accordance with manufacturer’s recommendations. Mix EASY SANDJoint Treatment Joint Compound according to directions on bag. Cover joint with a thin layer of compound and embed tape,

leaving about 0.8 mm of compound under feathered edge and a thin layer over the tape. After compound hasset, apply second coat, feathering out approximately 50 mm beyond first coat. After setting, apply third coat,feathering out 50 mm beyond second coat. After each coat is applied, smooth away any tool lap marks or otherimperfections prior to hardening action. Finish fastener heads with three coats of joint compound; finish cornerbead and inside corners as required with at least two coats, feathered and smoothed out onto panel faces. Ifsanding, use nothing coarser than 180-grit sandpaper, and avoid scuffing paper.

Filling and Finishing over Grind high plane differences in concrete level with adjacent area; also remove any form oil, efflorescence, and Interior Poured Concrete greasy deposits. Prime exposed metal with a good rust-inhibitive primer. Fill offsets or voids with jointCeilings

compound. Apply additional coats of joint compound as necessary, after each coat has set, but not necessarilydried. For a Level 5 finish spray a uniform coat of SHEETROCK® Brand Tuff-Hide® Primer-Surfacer per applicationrequirements.

Use with Water-Resistant In areas to be tiled, for tapered edge joints, embed SHEETROCK Brand Joint Tape with EASY SAND 45 or 90. When Plasterboard set, apply a fill coat. Take care not to crown the joint. Wipe excess joint compound from the panel surface

before it hardens. For butt joints and interior angles, embed SHEETROCK Brand Joint Tape with EASY SAND 45 or90. A fill coat is not necessary. Again, take care not to crown the joint. For fasteners, spot fastener heads at leastonce.

When penetrations are made in the plasterboard fill and seal all openings around pipes, fittings, and fixtureswith a thinned-down coat of tile adhesive. For best results, use Type I Ceramic Tile Adhesive that meets ANSIA136.1 both as a sealer and to set the tile. With a 25 mm brush, apply the thinned adhesive onto the raw plasterboard core at cutouts, and allow area to dry thoroughly prior to application of tile. Before the Easysandcompound dries, wipe excess material from the surface of the plasterboard. For areas not to be tiled, embedtape in the conventional manner. Finish with at least two coats of a SHEETROCK Brand Joint Compound to providejoint finishing for painting and wallpapering.

Laminating and Apply EASY SAND Joint Compound in the prescribed manner to back of face panels to be laminated or back-Back-blocking blocked. Laminate face panels to (base layer panels) or back-block panels using moderate pressure and

temporary nailing or shoring to ensure adequate bond. Refer to plasterboard manufacturer’s technical data for exact back-blocking details.

Decorating For priming and decorating with paint, texture, or wallcovering, follow manufacturer’s directions for materialsused. All surfaces must be dry, dust-free, and not glossy. Walls to be covered with wallpaper or vinylwallcovering should be sealed per manufacturer’s recommendations.

To improve concealment where walls and ceilings will be subjected to severe artificial or natural critical lighting, the plasterboard surface should be sprayed with Level 5 SHEETROCK Brand Tuff-Hide® Primer-Surfacerbefore painting.

Sheetrock Fibreglass joint tapemay also be used for a two coat system.

Setting-Type Joint Compounds

For one-day drywall finishing– For interior plasterboard and gypsum fibre boards.– Unique humidity resistance.– Exceptional bond, low shrinkage.– Unusual check-crack resistance in heavy fills.– Choice of setting times.

Description SHEETROCK® Brand DURABOND® Setting-Type Joint Compounds are chemically setting powder compounds forplasterboard interiors that permit same-day joint finishing, and, usually, next-day decoration. They are also idealfor heavy fills and are virtually unaffected by humidity. They provide low shrinkage and superior bond, whichmake them excellent for laminating plasterboard to plasterboard (including back-blocking), to sound-deadeningboards, and to above-grade concrete surfaces. In addition, DURABOND Joint Compound can be used for filling,smoothing, and finishing interior concrete ceilings and above-grade concrete and for taping and finishing waterresistant plasterboard under tiles in bathroom wall areas. Other uses include finishing joints in exterior soffits /eaves, presetting joints in veneer plaster finish systems, and as an adhesive for bonding cove cornices.

To meet varying job requirements, a full line of DURABOND joint compounds has been developed to provide achoice in setting times. The suffix number associated with each formulation indicates an approximate settingtime. DURABOND 20 sets in about 20-30 minutes; DURABOND 45 in 30-80 minutes; DURABOND 90 in 85-130minutes; DURABOND 210 in 180-240 minutes; and DURABOND 300 in 240-360 minutes.

Advantages Saves time and money. These joint compounds provide important labour and material cost reductions. One-dayfinishing with next-day decoration ensures rapid job completion and earlier occupancy. Choice of setting timesaids work flow.Quickly mixed for immediate use. Easy to mix—simply combine with water and stir. Compounds are applied aftershort soaking period and remixing.Resists shrinkage and edge-cracking. Compounds tolerate small amounts of excess water that would otherwisecause delayed shrinkage. Fill and finish coats can be applied when compound is hard—but still damp—withminimum danger of delayed shrinkage and cracking.Resists humidity changes. Setting rates are virtually unaffected by high humidity or changes in humidity.Application can be made in weather conditions that drying-type compounds would delay job completion.Multiple use. Compounds are also excellent for patching and smoothing interior plasterboard and concretesurfaces because they provide superior bond, low shrinkage, and fast setting-action.

Limitations 1. Setting-type joint compounds are more difficult to smooth after drying than conventional drying-type compoundsand should be smoothed before set or while they are in a damp but set state.

2. Setting action cannot be delayed or prevented by dilution with water.3. Not to be applied over moist surfaces or surfaces likely to become moist, or on below-grade surfaces or surfaces

projecting outside building structure unless protected from direct exposure to moisture.4. Before using DURABOND Joint Compound over new interior concrete surfaces, concrete should cure 60 days or

more. Remove protrusions, ridges, form or parting oils, grease, and efflorescence.5. Prior to using any epoxy coating over any surface treated with joint compound, consult the epoxy coating

manufacturer and follow manufacturer’s recommendations regarding the preparation or suitability of substratesfor the epoxy coating. Many epoxy coatings exert significant shear stress on the substrate as the strong epoxyfilm shrinks while curing/drying. This stress can cause the bond of the joint compound to fail, resulting in delamination problems.

Directions Preparation In cold weather during plasterboard panel joint finishing, minimum surface, water, mix, and air temperature of 8°C must be maintained until joints are completely dry. Adequate ventilation shall be provided to carry offexcess moisture.

Submittal Sheet Sheetrock® LightweightAll Purpose Joint Compound

Same great performance as original SHEETROCK® brand PLUS 3® lightweight all purpose joint compound with reduced airborne sanding dust for less mess and faster cleanup.

– Dust-control formulation substantially reduces airborne dust (independently verifi ed with Worker Industrial Hygiene Testing).

– Great for remodeling projects. – Weighs up to 35% less than conventional compounds. – Low shrinkage – requires only two coats over metal. – Sands with the ease of a topping compound; bonds like a taping compound.

Description Sheetrock® brand lightweight all purpose joint compound with dust control is a ready-mixed compound with a unique formula that binds up fi ne residue during sanding to form heavier particles that tend to fall to the fl oor instead of clouding the air. This advanced joint compound weighs up to 35% less than conventional compounds, so handling, application and sanding are simple, easy and fast. Each job goes more quickly and cleans up faster with less nuisance from airborne sanding dust. Sheetrock lightweight all purpose joint compound with dust control requires only two coats over bead and fasteners. It bonds like a taping product for a tough, tight bond under most job conditions and combines all-purpose, single-package convenience with optimum taping and topping performance. Sheetrock lightweight all purpose joint compound with dust control is compatible with all other USG joint compounds, so it can be used just for the joint fi nishing coats that will be sanded. For example, use Sheetrock all purpose joint compound for the taping coat and Sheetrock lightweight all purpose joint compound with dust control for the fi nishing coats.

Advantages Sheetrock lightweight all purpose joint compound with dust control creates less airborne dust when sanded to provide a cleaner job environment. It also offers all the benefi ts of a Sheetrock ready-mixed joint compound, with up to 35% less weight, less shrinkage and exceptional ease of sanding. This unique joint compound is formulated to provide low shrinkage and good crack resistance. It also features excellent adhesion and usually requires just two coats over metal, such as corner beads and fasteners—saving time and money.

Limitations 1. Before using any epoxy coating over a surface treated with joint compound, consult the epoxy coating manufacturer and follow manufacturer recommendations for preparation or suitability of substrates. Many epoxy coatings exert signifi cant shear stress on the substrate while curing/drying, which can cause the joint compound bond to fail, resulting in delamination problems.

2. Protect container from freezing, exposure to extreme heat and direct sunlight.

Preparation – Install Sheetrock® brand gypsum panels following manufacturer recommendations. – In cold weather and during gypsum panel joint fi nishing, temperatures within the building shall be maintained

at a minimum of 55 °F (13 °C). Adequate ventilation shall be provided to carry off excess moisture. – Mix Sheetrock lightweight all purpose joint compound with dust control lightly prior to application. May be used

directly from container for covering fasteners and corner bead. For taping and fi nishing joints (especially when using mechanical tools), thinning by adding water may improve application and performance. Add water in half-pint increments to avoid overthinning. Remix lightly and test-apply after each water addition until desired consistency is reached.

Application Cover joint with a thin layer of compound, and embed tape, leaving about 1/32" of compound under feathered edge; let dry and smooth lightly as required. Apply second coat, feathering approximately 2" beyond fi rst coat; let dry and smooth lightly as required. Apply third coat, feathering 2" beyond second coat; let dry and smooth lightly as required. Finish fastener heads, corner bead and inside corners with two coats of joint compound, feather out onto panel faces and fi nish to a smooth surface.

Sanding Use 150-grit sandpaper or 220-grit abrasive mesh cloth, or fi ner. General-purpose sandpaper can be used

with Dust Control

Same great performance as original

with Dust Control


WITH DUST CONTROL


with Sheetrock lightweight all purpose joint compound with dust control; however, higher-quality sandpaper will provide optimal results. These products typically feature a heavier-grade paper and more uniformly bonded grit, which make them less susceptible to sandpaper packing (i.e., sanding dust caught between the back of the sandpaper and the face of the sanding block), which can cause uneven surface sanding.

For painting and decorating, follow manufacturer directions for materials used. All surfaces, including applied joint compound, must be thoroughly dry, dust free and not glossy. Sand all joints, fasteners and beads before decorating. Remove any sanding dust from surfaces. If smoothing and dry sanding, use 150-grit sandpaper or 220-grit abrasive mesh cloth, or finer. Sheetrock® brand First Coat™ primer or a comparable interior latex wall primer, that will equalize the texture and porosity variation between the joint compound and the gypsum board face paper, should be applied and allowed to dry before painting, texturing or wallpapering. Walls to be covered with wallpaper or vinyl wallcovering should be sealed per wallcovering manufacturer's instructions.

Where walls and ceilings will be subject to severe artificial or natural side lighting and/or decorated with gloss paint (eggshell, semi-gloss or high-gloss), skim-coat gypsum panels with Sheetrock® brand conventional weight all purpose joint compound or cover coat® compound to improve fastener concealment and minimize decorating problems such as joint banding. Skim coating fills imperfections in joint work, smoothes the paper covering of drywall panels and provides a uniform surface for priming and painting. As an alternative to skim coating, apply Sheetrock® brand tuff-hide™ primer-surfacer.

For large projects a mock up of the selected system (substrate, joint compounds and finish coatings) should be evaluated by all responsible parties for suitability, appearance and durability before any large-scale applications begin.

Product Data Material: Latex-type formulation. Types: Hand or mechanical application. Freezing Sensitivity: Protect from freezing. Coverage: Approx. 9.4 gal./1,000 ft.2 (38.3 L/100 m2) of gypsum panels. Compliance with Standards: Meets ASTM Standard C475. VOC Content: <2g/L.

Storage Store in dry location and protect from moisture, freezing and exposure to extreme heat and direct sunlight. Keep tightly sealed. Shelf life of unopened container under protected storage conditions is up to nine months. Check product date codes periodically. Rotate stock on first-in, first-out basis.

When lifting joint compound packages, observe proper lifting techniques. Keep the load close to your body and use your legs, not your arms, to lift. Use mechanical assistance such as pallet lifters or hand dollies wherever possible. Confine manual lifting and carrying to the shortest possible distance.

Unique cross-fiber construction provides greater drywall joint strength and crack resistance thanconventional fibreglass mesh tapes.

– Self-adhesive tape goes on quickly—eliminates bedding coat and provides smooth finished joints with just two coats.

– Use SHEETROCK® Brand DURABOND® Setting-Type Joint Compound or SHEETROCK® Brand EASY SAND™ Lightweight Setting-Type Joint Compound for first coat over tape.

– Provides 2-coat, 1-day joint finishing.

Description SHEETROCK® Brand Fiberglass Drywall Tape’s unique cross-fiberglass construction provides greater plasterboardjoint strength and crack resistance than conventional fiberglass mesh tapes. SHEETROCK Fiberglass Drywall Taperesists shrinking, tearing, stretching and distortion.

Advantages Unique construction Conventional fiberglass mesh tapes can stretch slightly when the joint is deflected. Whenstretching occurs, joints can crack. In contrast, the unique leno weave construction of SHEETROCK FiberglassDrywall Tape resists stretching to prevent cracking in drywall joints. Because it achieves greater joint strengththan conventional fiberglass tapes, SHEETROCK Fiberglass Drywall Tape is to be used with DURABOND

®

Setting-Typeor EASY SAND™ Lightweight Setting-Type joint compounds for the first coat, and either a setting-type or drying-type (powder or ready-mixed) joint compound for the second coat.Fewer coats of joint compound SHEETROCK Fiberglass Drywall Tape is self-adhesive, eliminating the embedding ortaping coat required with conventional paper tape.Simpler, quicker joint finishing With DURABOND Setting-Type or EASY SAND Lightweight Setting-Type jointcompounds, joint finishing can be completed in just one day.Ideal for patching Use SHEETROCK Fiberglass Drywall Tape to easily patch small holes and cracks in plasterboardwalls and ceilings.

Application Joint Treatment Maintain minimum air, joint comound, tape, and surface temperature of 13 °C (55 °F) within working area untiljoints are completely dry. Provide adequate ventilation to carry off excess moisture. Be sure drywall surface is dry and clean.

Center and apply SHEETROCK Fiberglass Drywall Tape directly over joint, pressing tape firmly so it adheresevenly. Cut tape with drywall knife. To eliminate wrinkles and ensure maximum bond, press entire length of tapewith drywall knife. Avoid overlapping tape at intersections. Cover with a layer of DURABOND Setting-Type or EASY

SAND Lightweight Setting-Type joint compound, forcing compound through the tape with a drywall knife/trowel tocompletely fill and level the joint. Failure to completely fill the joint may result in cracking. Let dry and sand lightly as required. Apply second coat of EASY SAND Lightweight Setting-Type or drying-type (powder or ready-mixed) joint compound, feathering approximately 50 mm beyond first coat.Let dry and sand lightly as required.

To finish inside corners, bend the tape with your fingers to form a U. Apply tape along one side only. Press it into the corner for approximately 300 mm and then apply the other side. Work down the corner in this manneruntil tape is pressed firmly in place. Apply EASY SAND Lightweight Setting-Type joint compound down the entirelength of one side of the corner, then repeat on the other side. Force the compound through the tape, beingcareful not to cut the tape with drywall knife during the compound application. Let dry and sand lightly asrequired.

Apply second coat of EASY SAND Lightweight Setting-Type or drying-type (powder or ready-mixed) compound,feathering approximately 50 mm beyond first coat. Let dry and sand lightly as required. Finish fastener heads,corner bead and trim with at least three coats of joint compound, (only two coats if using EASY SAND LightweightSetting-Type Joint Compound) feathered out onto panel faces and sanded as required to a smooth surface.If sanding, use nothing coarser than 180-grit sandpaper, and avoid scuffing paper.

SHEETROCK® FIBREGLASS» DRYWALL JOINT TAPE


Description SHEETROCK® Brand Joint Tape is a special paper tape designed for use with U.S. Gypsum Joint Compounds toreinforce joints and corners in plasterboard interiors. SHEETROCK Brand Joint Tape is lightly sanded for increasedbond and comes with a positive crease to simplify application in corners.

Advantages Extra strength for strong joints Manufactured from special cross-fibered paper with high tensile strength, bothwith and across the paper grain, to produce joints as strong as the board itself. SHEETROCK Brand Joint Tape also provides exceptional wet strength—resists stretching, wrinkling and other distortions, lies flat and resiststearing under tools.Easy to apply Precision processing produces a superior bond to joint compound. Positive center creasing anduniform winding for accurate and trouble-free application to angles as well as flat joints.Resists cracking, stretching High-strength composition delivers crack-resistant performance and eliminatesstretching.

Environmental Conditions In cold weather and during plaserboard application and joint finishing, temperatures within the building shall be maintained within the range of 13-21 °C (55-70 °F.) Adequate ventilation shall be provided to carry off excess moisture.

Application Position and apply plasterboard sheets in accordance with manufacturer’s recommendations.Prepare joint compound following directions on container. Cover joint with a thin layer of compound and embedtape, leaving about 0.8 mm of compound under feathered edge. While embedding the tape, remove excesscompound from edge and apply a thin coat over the tape. Let dry and sand lightly as required. Apply secondcoat, feathering approx. 50 mm beyond first coat. Let dry, sand lightly as required, and then apply third coat,feathering 50 mm beyond second coat. Sand lightly as required when dry. Finish fastener heads, corner bead,and inside corners as required with at least three coats of joint compound, feathered out onto panel faces andsanded as required to a smooth surface. If sanding, use nothing coarser than 180-grit sandpaper, and avoidscuffing paper.
