Drywall differences, green and blue board sheetrock for interior plastering.

Many folks refer to sheetrock, as drywall, plaster board, gypsum board it all basically the same stuff just a different name. The green and purple board are more fro moisture and mold resistances, the blue board are specifically engineered for veneer plaster such as a imperial base coat plaster which don’t need glueing or bonding agents.
I apply a bonding agent over all boards except for the blue board.

In this video I give some basic tips on the many gypsum boards I have encountered in the last 30 years, This is my opinion, you folks of course use whatever board and mud you prefer.

As far as most’staping muds are concerned, I rarely use taping mud’s as they are usually a typical three day systems. you apply the first coat, wait 24 hours, then repeat two more times, then you sand the walls, which makes a big mess, plasters and or compounds are much faster but takes more experience with no sanding.

But on the other hand, taping mud is great for home owner doing a complete home or even just a room where you will be working for more than a day anyway and wish to get it done as cost effectively as possible.

There and many choices for quick touch ups, what I explain here is just the tip of the iceberg.

In many of my video’s I use drywall compounds as they dry within minutes and you can apply your next coat giving the ability to same day base coat and finish.
