Question
you just finished hanging all the drywall. what are the next steps in the finishing process? what products should you use?
your answer
After hanging drywall, the next steps in the finishing process typically involve taping, mudding, sanding, and priming/painting. For taping, joint tape (paper or fiberglass) is used to cover seams. For mudding, joint compound (drywall mud) is applied over the tape and screw/nail indentations in multiple coats, allowing each to dry and sanding between coats for a smooth finish. After sanding, a primer is applied followed by paint or other wall coverings. The key products include joint tape, joint compound, sandpaper (varying grits), primer, and paint.
