"Drywall"

[Commander Kinsey]

Don't accept inferior products. If you buy something that's supposed to 16 of something, and it's 15, that's not fit for purpose.

Top tip - don't light fires inside your house.

If a job's worth doing....

[Commander Kinsey]

Skimming?

I didn't say it did. But it can come off.

Why not? Is it magical? Every other tape comes off.

[Commander Kinsey]

But the filler still has to stretch, which it doesn't, it cracks.

[Commander Kinsey]

Under the paper is just powder. Ever tried removing some?

But a better finished product.

Wood does not crumble. Wood panels attached with screws come off by simply undoing some screws. You can even reuse the wood. But plasterboard ends up in a cloud of dust and mess.

Surely gypsum board is in use throughout the world; can't be only US.

[Commander Kinsey]

I'd never use the Neanderthal stuff.

[Commander Kinsey]

But you have plaster over it! So what if the tape gives, the plaster over it will still crack.

Yes but we call is plasterboard in the UK. Horrid stuff, try removing it.

[Commander Kinsey]

It ain't strong enough to stop something 50 billion times heavier than itself from moving.

[dpb]

Not unless the wall moves so much anything else would as well.

100 years applications prove the principle works pretty doggone well.

No problem at all--it's trivial to remove or cut into for access for other work or repair such as electrical or plumbing and then repair it--certainly far easier than lath and plaster.

[Commander Kinsey]

I don't see how the tape helps. It's not going to reduce movement at all. Just put the plaster straight into the gap.

Plasterboard is basically powder. Cut it and you get a dusty mess. Try removing a whole sheet of it, especially when a moronic builder with no long term planning has used nails which you can't remove without crumbling the plasterboard to pieces.

[Commander Kinsey]

Doesn't mean it's better, just cheap shit. Dyson bagless hoovers are more recent, doesn't mean it's a good idea to have your dust float all over the room when you try to empty it.

And if you want cheap, just buy chipboard. Easier and cleaner to cut, put up, remove, and screw things into.

Pot kettle black. Everybody on here refers to you as that.

Your candidates run for office. Ours stand.

Does mean its not Neanderthal stuff, you pathetic excuse for a bullshit artist/troll.

Anyone with even half a clue does that outside, stupid. And its certainly not Neanderthal stuff, you pathetic excuse for a bullshit artist/troll.

Much more expensive than plasterboard.

Wrong, as always.

Wrong, as always.

Not stupid enough to do that.

Lying thru your f****ng teeth as you always do when you have got done like a f****ng dinner, as you always are, you pathetic excuse for a lying bullshit artist/troll.

[dpb]

Well there are two sides here, too...the back side and the finish side.

There's no purpose for putting the wrong side out.

GypRock and Sheetrock are brand names. Drywall or gypsum wall board is generic. Also Plasterboard.Old Limeys call it Sackett board -

Rock Lath - or buttonboard - or Gypsum Lath- is a special wallboard used as a lath under plaster in a Hybrid plaster wall.

If you want 1 inch you buy 5/4 lumber. 1 1/4 inch rough cut planes to

1 inch finished.

Waste of good breath trying to explain anything to Kinsey

It was invented by the Brits - Sackett Board was invented in 1894 by Augustine Sackett and Fred Kane, graduates of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. It was made by layering plaster within four plies of wool felt paper. Sheets were 36 by 36 by 1/4 inch (91.44 cm × 91.44 cm ×

0.64 cm) thick with open (untaped) edges.[3] Gypsum board evolved between 1910 and 1930 beginning with wrapped board edges and elimination of the two inner layers of felt paper in favor of paper-based facings. In 1910 United States Gypsum Corporation bought Sackett Plaster Board Company and by 1917 introduced Sheetrock.
