Just wanting to hear a second opinion besides from friends. Are there any preferred products to use for taping versus filling screws and holes or gaps between sheets because framing is not square? I am familiar with the general purpose mud and then something like easy sand 90 that comes in a bag.
What's the preferred product for filling the horizontal seams before taping? And is it best to fill the gaps first, let that set up, then apply another thin coat with the tape embedded?
Best Answer
Fill large gaps with Joint Compound. Fill small seam crevices with Joint Compound and apply Seam Tape with joint Compound. Keep Joint Compound below finish "grade" because it is difficult to sand.
Cover over the Joint Compound with Topping Coumpound which, is easily sanded and faired.
