Curing/drying time??
Just wondering what people think about drying times of compounds, Ever noticed the tapered edge line showing through after a few months later under some down lights mounted to the wall??
I have a feeling it takes 30 days or so to fully cure and stop shrinking, depending on how thinned it is and type of mud of course.
What about the wall board, if its made a week before its hung and taped is this still curing?? Our board seems to be getting quite soft.

That lake never warms up. Ive been up there in the summer and it is so cold. The water is crystal clear. Its a great lake tho no salt and no sharks.

got a garage one winter, bro says no way, too cold, so I bid high and walkedgreat post, temperature is one of those things us newbies, might forget to consider when bidding a project. I think i will bring a few space heaters along on my next few project just in case.
I have seen board at the warehouse stores stamped 2 or 3 days before and it does seem to have a temperature difference. And have noticed the difference in finished walls and a month later as well.Just wondering what people think about drying times of compounds, Ever noticed the tapered edge line showing through after a few months later under some down lights mounted to the wall??

We prep and prefill ALL joints with setting compound that has very low shrinkage rate. This minimizes the amount of premix mud needed to coat the joints and shrink. Always make sure tha fill coat is dry before applying another coat.
