What Is Drywall Mudding? 

Mudding is the process of applying a joint compound to sheetrock that has already been installed. 

The mudding procedure starts with the application of fiberglass tape to all joints, followed by a coat of mud (joint compound). Moreover, the initial layer is spread out evenly with a thin mudding knife, leaving no obvious extra mud. 

We sand down the mud to make it flush with the sheetrock surface once it's dry. Next, we'll cover any visible screws. Screws don't need much mud because they should never shred the top layer of plasterboard, only pierce it. 

Drywall mudding and taping, when done correctly, may produce smooth walls that are ideal for any wall application. It can help cover flaws in the frame and drywall installation. 

However, it is usually advisable to use a mudding contractor that is insured, licensed, and knowledgeable about the process. You can wind up with some noticeable rough areas on your wall that you can't conceal with paint if they don't do a competent job. 

Mudding New Drywall 

There are a few situations in which sheetrock mud will be required. When you're putting up fresh plasterboard mudding is needed to complete the finishing process. This could be the case when building a new home or office or remodeling a large space. Taping and mudding drywall are more predictable and consistent when the drywall is recently hung. In most cases an experienced drywall worker can tape and mud a complete room in approximately an hour. This, of course, depends on how long the drywall mud takes to dry.
