Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about CGC Sheetrock® joint compounds, drywall mud, and professional drywall finishing products.

1. Which CGC drywall compound should I use?

The right CGC compound depends on your project. All Purpose Joint Compound is ideal for taping and finishing drywall joints, Lightweight compounds are easier to sand for finishing coats, while setting-type compounds are best for fast repairs and patching.  

2. What is the difference between CGC All Purpose Joint Compound and Setting-Type Compound?

CGC All Purpose Joint Compound is premixed and designed for taping, finishing, and general drywall work. Setting-Type Compound hardens through a chemical reaction, making it ideal for repairs, deep fills, and projects that need faster turnaround.  

3. What do the numbers 20, 45, and 90 mean on CGC Sheetrock® setting compounds?

The numbers refer to the approximate working or setting time in minutes. A 20-minute compound sets the fastest, while 45- and 90-minute versions provide more working time for larger repairs.  

4. Can CGC joint compound be used for skim coating?

Yes. CGC All Purpose and Lightweight Joint Compounds are commonly used for skim coating walls and ceilings to create a smooth, paint-ready surface before painting or wallpapering.  

5. Which CGC joint compound is easiest to sand?

CGC Lightweight Joint Compound is designed to sand more easily than standard compounds, making it a popular choice for final finishing coats and renovation projects.  

6. How long does CGC joint compound take to dry?

Drying time depends on the product, humidity, temperature, and coat thickness. Premixed joint compounds generally require about 24 hours between coats, while setting compounds harden according to their designated setting time.  

7. Can I paint directly over CGC joint compound?

Yes. Once the compound has fully dried and been sanded smooth, it's recommended to apply a quality drywall primer before painting to ensure even paint absorption and a consistent finish.  

8. What is the best CGC product for repairing drywall holes and cracks?

For small repairs, CGC All Purpose Joint Compound works well. For larger holes, deep repairs, or damaged drywall, CGC Setting-Type Compounds provide greater strength and faster hardening.  

9. Is CGC joint compound better than drywall spackle?

They serve different purposes. Spackle is typically used for small nail holes and minor repairs, while CGC joint compounds are designed for taping drywall seams, skim coating, larger repairs, and complete drywall finishing.  

10. Which CGC drywall compound is best for beginners?

CGC Sheetrock® All Purpose Joint Compound is the most beginner-friendly option. It's premixed, easy to apply, suitable for most drywall repairs and finishing tasks, and offers a longer working time than setting compounds.
