Drywall Crack Repair |
1) Use an abrasive-coated foam block, known as a sanding sponge, to smooth a working crack. These cracks often occur below a window or above a door.
|
2) Apply a thin coat of joint compound to the cracked area. Sand it smooth and apply a second coat if necessary. |
3) Spray elastic crack coating on the repaired area. We used Good-Bye Cracks, produced
by Guardsman Products; www.goof-off.com. |
Exposed Nails in Drywall |
1) Nail and screw pops arise from lumber shrinkage. First, twist a utility knife into
the wall to carve away the joint compound from above a popped nail or screw. |
2) Tighten the screw (usually a quarter-turn is sufficient) or tap in the nail. (If the nail seems weak,
drive in a second one next to it.) |
3) Use a small drywall knife to apply lightweight joint compound above the screw or
nailhead. Three light coats should do. |

Quick Drywall Tips |
• Use full sheets of drywall whenever possible. • Install the ceiling panels first: This allows you to butt the wall panels up against the ceiling panels, giving you the best joint possible between the wall and ceiling. • Don't force the drywall panels into position:Cut the drywall panels so they fit loosely. You shouldn't have to force them into position. • Avoid butt joints:Since panel ends don't have tapered edges, they're hard to conceal. |
