A drywall flat box is a professional tool that applies a smooth, even layer of joint compound (mud) to flat drywall seams and corners, simultaneously feathering the edges for a seamless finish, significantly speeding up taping and finishing by creating a consistent crown and eliminating ridges. It attaches to a handle, dispenses mud through an adjustable blade as you push it, and uses a pressure plate to force mud out, allowing workers to cover large areas efficiently while standing upright. | |||
