Sheetrock® Brand Easy Sand™ 5 Joint Compound provides low shrinkage and superior bond, which makes it excellent for laminating gypsum panels to gypsum panels, sound-deadening boards and above-grade concrete surfaces. It resists humidity and can be applied in damp weather allowing for same-day joint finishing and faster job completion.
In cold weather during gypsum panel joint finishing, minimum surface, water, mix and air temperature of 45°F must be ensured until joints are completely dry. Adequate ventilation shall be provided to carry off excess moisture. Mix what can be used within the working time. Use a clean container for each batch. Add 1 bag into approx. 5-6 qt. clean water. Mix 1 minute or until smooth, scrape container sides. Add water if needed and remix approx. 1 minute or to preferred consistency. Do not re-temper or mix with any other material.
