There are two types of joint compound to patch holes or cracks. Tim Carter
of AsktheBuilder.com explains why you should use the fast-drying joint compound.
Both regular and fast-drying products start out as a powder which you add water
and mix to create a smooth mixture. The first is drywall compound which drys
very slow. The other option is joint compound. This compound drys very quick.
In fact, it will have a number on the bag and that is the amount of minutes you
have until it drys. Both products work well but the joint compound gets you results
quicker. |
