It is even more important to use the proper joint compound materials
because the liquid ones have chemicals that we try to avoid.
Here are some powdered ones that we have recommended:
- *Fast Set and Fast Set Lite:* Purchase only Smooth set or Smooth Set
Lite product and purchase only in bags, not in ready-mixed boxes. This is
actually a patching compound with limited working time requiring skilled
labor. Very hard and durable once dry. Zero VOC Hamilton Drywall Products,
295 North Perkin Rd. Woodland, WA 98674 800.871.5007

have worked out some of the installation kinks presented by the Chinese
