Where end joints cannot be avoided, they snoura oe staggered. It is usually better to appiy tne board on tne eemng first, tnen the sidewalls.

With tne knife at right angles to tne ooara. score completely tnrougn the face paoer. Tnen appiy firm even pressure to snap the board. Fold bacx. tne oartiany separated portion of tne board and use tne knife again tc cut tne back paper. Rougn edges should be smoothed. Panels can be cut with a saw .f desired. CUTTING OPENINGS it will be necessary to cut holes in the waiiboard for electrical outlets, light receptacles, ete. The distance af the opening from tne end and edge of tne board snouid be carefully measured and marked on the face of the waiiboard. The opening should then be outlined in pencil ana cut out with a keynote saw. The cut-out must oe accurate or tne cover plate will not conceal the hole. It is more d ifficu lt to install the eemng boards because Of th ovemead positioning, it is desiraoie to nave T-braces to hold th board m place wniie it is bong naiied. A satisfactory T-brace cor sists of a 2 foot oiece of 1 x 4 nailed onto the ena of a 2 a 4. Th lengtn snouid be about an men longer than the floor to eeilir. height. Tne nails snouid be 7' apart, when the aonesive naii-e method is used, tne edges should be nailed, but only 1 nail pe lOist >n tne field of the board. All edges snouid be supported a framing. Tne nails should be driven to ormg tne board tignt to tn framing, then another blow struck to dimpie tne nan being care ful not to oraax tne face paper.

This includes an embedding coat to bond tne tape and two finishing coats over tne tape. Each coat snouid dry thoroughly, usually 2 * hours, so th a t the surface can be easily sanded When sanding, wrap your sandpaper around a wood sanding block so you sand the surface evenly. Do not over-sand or sand tne paper surface. This may outline the joint or nail head througn the paint. Taka your 4* jo in t finishing knife and apply tne Ready-Mix Joint Compound fu lly and evenly into the siignt recess creatsc by the adjoining tapered edges of the ooard. PS FOR PROFF SIONAL-LOO NG RESULTS rThe s-owing ;rie rt will tell you approximately 10'ht carppound to ouy. ___ ESTIMATING READY MIX JOINT COMPOUND t how much TAPE G-F G ypsum W aiiboard S o u ' Estim ated Amount of G** ftaaoy*Mix ipm t Com ocyno Cstim otad Amount G* 'NaMBoard Tap* e-t ** i r .r .u r n * ft tn * 7CG-300 so ft *ji 7 la t 1 " an * Gj i i t : - M 2 ' -=:l ; - : s Z ' *ou 900-1000 so. ft. 1 5 G*i F,i : - : 5 c -on 2-6C' 'C * 5* 'A a o t f S t r .o.nr c o m a s u n a 0 k a h v f o o m . -a *.o a v a i o i* E s tim a i* 60 IBs oer :;0 0 to.

Tne nanmg is around tne eages of tne board, if tne ooarc is bowec out m tne center, it may be aovisabte to secure with a temporary nan until tne dhesive sets. A vert.cai application places tne iong edges of the waiiboard parallel to tne framing members. This is more desiraoie if tne .ailing neignt of your wan is greater than 8 -2 or the wall is 4 ' wide or less. Nailing recommendations are the same as for horizontal application. METAL CORNERBEAD To protect corners from edge damage, install metal cornerbead after you have instaned tne waiiboard. Nan the metal corneroead every 5 ' through gypsumooard into wood framing. m APPLYING WALLBOARD TAPE APPLYING FINISHING COATS fcext. take your waiiboard tape, center it over the |Oint and pre^ the tape firmly, into the pending compound with your wall- board knife held at a 4 5 ' angle. Tne pressure should squeeze some compound from under theja p e . Out enough must be left for a good bond. When tfrfarouflAfy qgff at leUst 24 hours, apply a fill coat extending a few mcnes beyond the cage of the t4 M and fa ith tr tn *dgs a tn compound, when tne first linisrnng coat is tnorougmy dry. use your 10' joint finisnmg knife and apply a second ceat and feather the edges about l l/ } ' beyond the first coat. When this ceat is dry. sand lightly to a smooth even surface. Wipe off the dust in preparation for tha final decoration. Total width should ba 12 to 44 mcnes. n \ / C D ____ a . L12 FINISHING NAIL IEADS Draw your ' jo int finishing knife across nails to oe sure tnay arc beiow the surface of tne Board. ApDiy first coat of Reaoy-Mi* with even pressure to smooth compound level with tne surface of the board. Do not bow knife blade with excess pressure as tnis tends to scoop compound from dimpled area. When ory, aooiy second co a t let dry. sand lightly and aopiy third coat. Sand ligntly Before applying your decoration. An additional coat may be needed depending on temperature and numidity. 13 FINIS. iNG END JOINTS compound Should be 14 to 18 nenes wee / tace m You use basically the same steos w>m end or butt joints as you do with taoered eoges. The end joints are not taoereo so care must be taken not to Build uo tne compound m me center Of the joint. This encourages ridging and snaoowed areas. Feather tne compound wen out on eacn side of tne ;omt. Final application of joint compound should oe 14 to 18 inches wide. FINISHING METAL CORNERBEAD FINISHING INSIDE CORNERS Be sure the metal corner is attached firmly. Take your 4* finishing knife and spread the G-P Ready-Mix 3" to 4 ' wide from the nose of the bead, covering tne metal edges, wnen completelydry. send lightly and aooiy second coat, feathering edges 2* to 3* beyond the first coat. A third coat may be needed deoending on your coverage. Featner the edges of each coat 2" or 3* beyond the preceding coat Cut your taoe the length of the comer angle you are "-m g to fmisn. Apply tne G-P Ready-Mix with your 4 knife eve- > soout l 1', on eacn side of tne angle. Use sufficient compound to emoeo tne taoe Fold tne taoe along tne center rrease and firm ly press it mto tne corner use enougn pressure to squeeze some compound under tne edges. Feather tne compound 2 mcnes from tne edge of the taoe. When first coat is dry. app'y a second coat. Feather tne edge of the compound 1 V ;' beyond tne first coat Apply a third coat if necessary, let dry and sand to a smoern sur face. Use as iittie comoound as possible at tne apex of tne angle to prevent nairnne cracking. FINAL DECORATION After the joint treatment is thoroughly dry. an surfaces should be sealed or primed with a vmyi or oil base primer sealer. This equalizes the absorption difference between the exposed surface and the joint compound surface. You will then have a uniform texture and suction over the entire waijja&ceiiing.Whenj scaler h a r r ie d } ppili^ youe\>nai` dWoritifcfc per the ftwhfrtactUwd^rccommendati ans.
