Re: Fri. 2/9 'Will it Float?' Thing

Also known as gypsum board or sheetrock, drywall is a layer of baked
gypsum sandwiched between two thin layers of paper. Virtually every
wall in every building in America is some sort of drywall. If you live
in a nice well-built house, your drywall is 1/2" thick. If you live in
a cheap shabby slum, your drywall is 1/4" thick.

Drywall compound (also known as drywall mud or joint compound), is a
thick putty-like material that's designed to hide the joints between
sheets of drywall. A good installer can float the mud onto the surface
so smoothly that you can't even tell it's there: a bad drywall looks
cheap and amateurish.

Stop it, you're getting me all hot and bothered.

You're just jealous because Tom knows how to float the mud. ;p
