Product Details

USG Sheetrock Brand Easy Sand 45 Joint Compound is a lightweight, setting-type compound with a 45-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 45 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
  • Return Policy
  • California residents

      A:  Peter Thank you for your inquiry. Sheetrock Easy Sand 45 is sandable and can be used as a top coat. Note, however, that we do not recommend skimcoating at less than 1/8" with setting type joint compounds such as Easy Sand. Hope this helps.

          Q:Can this be used in bathroom shower stall around a window opening? Then painted and caulked? Or what should be used over the green board?

          Answer This Question

          A:  Thank you for your inquiry. Sheetrock Easy Sand Setting Type Joint Compound should not be applied over moist surfaces or surfaces likely to become moist. Sheetrock Mold Tough (green board) is not meant to be used on shower walls, as one of the limitations is to avoid exposure to excessive, repetitive or continuous moisture before, during and after installation. We recommend using tilebacker board such as Durock or Fiberock in tub enclosures and shower enclosures. Hope this helps.

                  Go to product for fast burn times on jobs with tight timelines. Easy mixing and consistent performance. Sticks well to many types of substrates new or old. Sands out and featheredges nicely.
