EL VERANO — Host, Sarah Rutan: If you’re planning a drywall project in your home, you’ll want to be aware of the different types and grades of products available. Today we’re in El Verano with Diamond Certified Expert Contributor Curtis Kapple of Kapple Drywall to learn more.
Diamond Certified Expert Contributor, Curtis Kapple: These are the main products we use. This is what we call “Blue Dot.” It’s the first coat of taping that you put on it. This is 90% glue. You can’t really sand it. It’s what the nail should be spotted with the first time and the tape should be put on with. This is “Green Dot.”
I don’t use any lightweight products, as, in my opinion, they leave too many air bubbles, too easy to scratch. This is a more solid product, tried, true, and tested. A little harder to sand, but the finish, in my opinion, is twice as good as the lightweight products. The only lightweight product I use is in hot mud. We try not to use this as much as possible. In this house there is maybe one bag of hot mud used, as we needed sandability everywhere. On smaller jobs, we do use this in order to speed up the drying time.
