USG has good rock, but their finish compounds are shit. I really hate them. They suck at smoothing, they sand out like garbage. Really, next time(if you really have too) try some Hamiltons. Plus they were started in So Cal, before they were bought out by Murco about 5 years ago.

I have never even seen Hamilton's sold here. I'll have to look. I had to cut some holes in the wall above my bath to put in some blocking for a curved shower rod. Then I put in a recessed light above the bath and installed a switch. Then dropped my punch in the wall through the hole where I was mounting the box for the switch and had to cut another hole at the bottom of the wall to get it out.Originally posted by Coach McGuirk View PostUSG has good rock, but their finish compounds are shit.

Then patched some nail pops and a seam that had cracked. Prepping for paint. It's been a PITA.

Everyone here uses USG. All of the drywall subs I know and used in the past here use it. I need to pick up some more today and I'll look for Hamilton's. But I have never seen it, at least at Home Depot or Lowe's here.Originally posted by pellegrino View Postyeah, I don't think we got a good chance of getting that east of the mississippi.

I hope you knew these guys and they were doing you a favor or you probably paid a pretty penny.
