quintessential drywall
This book thoroughly covers the subject and now introduces the latest automated taping equipment available. Whilst this is an American publication all the Drywall application in the UK uses American/Canadian equipment and even tapes. Great finishes are possible with the simplest of equipment though and it should be borne in mind that the end result is dependent on the quality of the original boarding/sheeting job. It is entirely possible and indeed desireable that the finish matches that of the plasterer, provided the speed at reaching that finish is greater then the decision to use this technique has been justified. Still trying to catch on in the UK this book will thoroughly convert any Drywall sceptics.

I'm a moderately competent DIYer - who has managed to get through life without getting directly involved with plasterboard and 'drywall'.

Bought this book as we moved to a house built using drywall - and wanted to know how it 'works'.

Although written by an American writer - everything is clear and simply explained.

In fact I found the book strangely addictive - and very informative.

Sections on different types of drywall, their applications and the best techniques to use.

Takes the fear out of using drywall for novices - but also helps understand what a professional is doing - if you choose to 'get someone in' to do the job.
