EasySand
Appearance
Drywall Easy Sand (or "hot mud") is a lightweight, chemically-setting powdered joint compound that mixes with water, allowing for same-day finishing of drywall joints and patches, unlike traditional mud that needs long drying times. It's known for its fast hardening, low shrinkage, humidity resistance, and easy sanding, making it ideal for quick repairs, heavy fills, laminating panels, and getting jobs done faster, with different versions offering specific working times (e.g., Easy Sand 20, 45).
Key Characteristics
- Fast Setting: Sets chemically, not just by drying, enabling same-day joint finishing and next-day painting.
- Lightweight: Weighs about 25% less than conventional setting compounds, making it easier to handle.
- Easy Sanding: Sands smoothly, similar to all-purpose ready-mixed compounds, but much faster to set.
- Humidity Resistant: Works well in damp conditions where regular mud would delay the job.
- Low Shrinkage: Excellent for heavy fills, reducing cracks.
- Versatile: Great for patching, laminating gypsum panels, and finishing interior concrete.
