Questions & Answers
How much eill this cover
Coxs- You can use the Sheetrock® Wallboard Estimator Tool on our website usg.com. It will provide estimates for finishing joints (tape, fill, finish) it does not calculate for skim coating walls.
how much is needed for 2000 square feet of drywall?
Kevin Thank you for your inquiry. You will need approximately 10 gal. of Sheetrock All Purpose Joint Compound for every 1,000 sq. ft. This includes taping the joints, covering fasteners and applying corner bead. It does not include skim coating or texturing.
How much does the 4.5 gal bucket of joint compound weigh?
AC65- The weight of the 4.5-gallon bucket of Sheetrock® Brand All Purpose Joint Compound will vary depending on the region of the country/plant it is produced at between 56-lbs to 65-lbs because of the raw materials used in the different regions.
Why is the joint compound that I received GRAY? I've used joint compound for about 50 years and never has it been anything but white...the white contrasts with the drywall making it easy to apply and sand with the gray background...sanding will be a pain
Kelly- The color of the compound does not affect the finishing. It is the result of the raw materials (gypsum) being used to manufacture the compound, the color of the rock is not something that we have control over.

Can it remove deep paneling wall lines?
Curt- USG does not have a recommendation for using any joint compound over paneling.
Can I use this with mesh joint tape
Julie Thank you for your inquiry. Ready mix joint compounds are recommended for use with paper joint tape. If you plan to use mesh joint tape use Easy Sand Setting type joint compound. Hope this helps.
