Tips and Tricks

Compound
Consistency
Preparation
instructions are printed on the container and should be followed closely. When
preparing joint compound, add the correct amount of water and mix vigorously
for several minutes. Even the pre-mix compounds usually need a little water
to achieve the correct consistency. Make sure there are no lumps and no free
water on top.
The
compound consistency you use in tools is thinner (more watery) than if you
were setting by hand. This extra water also means that the compound may
shrink more as it dries. The tools have been designed to allow for this and
is the reason for the adjustable blade on flat boxes. This allows the flat
box to apply a domed or crowned coat over the joint, which will then shrink
back to flat. |
