Product Details

USG Sheetrock Brand Easy Sand 20 Joint Compound is a lightweight, setting-type compound with a 20-minute working time. USG setting-type joint compounds provide faster finishing of drywall interiors, even under slow drying conditions. Rapid chemical hardening and low shrinkage permit same-day finishing and usually next-day decoration. USG Sheetrock Brand Easy Sand 20 Joint Compound features an exceptional bond; virtually unaffected by humidity extremes. It is ideal for laminating double-layer systems, particularly fire-rated assemblies, and for adhering gypsum panels to above-grade concrete surfaces. May also be used for surface texturing and for filling, smoothing and finishing interior above-grade concrete. Note: Setting-type joint compounds should not be used for skim coating due to dryout concerns.
  • Weigh up to 25% less than conventional weight setting-type joint compounds
  • Sands easily; similar to a ready-mixed, all-purpose joint compound
  • Unique humidity resistance
  • Check-crack resistance in heavy fills
  • For interior gypsum panels and exterior gypsum ceiling boards
  • GREENGUARD Gold certified for low-emitting performance
  • Return Policy

          Q:Can I use this as a finishing / final coat?

          Answer This Question

          A:  Thank you for your inquiry. USG Sheetrock Easy Sand can be used for the finish or final coat. Hope this helps.

          by|Sep 3, 2021

            A:  Yes, can the consistency of the compound make a vast difference in the overall finish coat? Also, hot water causes the components to set faster.

            by|Apr 5, 2022

            A:  I fill major patching work with regular compound (less expensive) and then use this to fill the minor gaps left in a 2nd or 3rd (if necessary) coat for the faster dry time. It works great!

            by|Feb 15, 2022

              A:  Yes, but you will have to work quick. sets up in 20 minutes. Only mix what you can you in that timeframe.

                Okay but....
                Compared to WestPac Fast Set Lite 20, this mud takes a long time to get ready to sand. The unused mud an inch thick crumbles after an hours wait. Strange Home Depot sells one brand on the west coast and another on the east coast. I like the 20 minute so..

                  This product worked great for intended use. Compound dries fast and is very durable. In combination with a fabric tape, it worked great for an unsupported sheetrock joint.

                  Quick Set Light is better.
                  Compare this to Proform Quick Set Light and you'll never use Easy Sand again. The adhesion is much better for taping with and it goes on much smoother if you finish with it. It sands equally well. Note the way the different compounds held the paper tape in the test pictured. Some peeled away clean in spots (not good) and others held so well that the tape actually delaminated (perfect adhesion). Easy Sand didn't do so well. Quick Set Light is one of the few with perfect adhesion. USG DuraBond also has perfect adhesion in this test. Based on this, I would only buy Easy Sand if I could not find Quick Set and wasn't applying tape.
