21 GOLD BOND brand GYPSUM BOARD MANUFACTURER 2001 Rexford Road Charlotte, NC (704) Technical Information: NATIONAL ( ) Fax: FAX NGC1 ( ) Internet Home Page: nationalgypsum.com nationalgypsum.com/espanol /NGC BuyLine: 1100 DESCRIPTION Gold Bond brand Gypsum Board panels consist of a fireresistant gypsum core encased in heavy natural-finish, 100% recycled paper on the face and back sides. The face paper is folded around the long edges to reinforce and protect the core, and the ends are squarecut and finished smooth. For speed of installation, GridMarX guide marks are printed on the paper surface. Long edges of the panels are tapered or square. Tapered edges allow joints to be reinforced with ProForm brand Joint Tape and concealed with ProForm brand Ready Mix or ProForm brand Quick Set Setting Compounds. ADVANTAGES Lightweight, cost-efficient material tht readily accepts a wide range of decorative finishes. Gypsum Boad is easily cut for quick installation, permitting painting or other decoration and the installation of metal or wood trim almost immediately. The gypsum core will not support combustion or transmit temperatures greatly in excess of 212ºF (100ºC) until completely calcined, a slow process. Expansion and Contraction under normal atmospheric changes are negligible. GREENGUARD CERTIFIED Gold Bond Gypsum Board has achieved GREENGUARD Gold Certification. LIMITATIONS Exposure to excessive or continuous moisture and extreme temperatures should be avoided. Gypsum Board is not recommended where it will be exposed to temperatures exceeding 125 F (52 C) for extended periods of time. To prevent objectional sag in gypsum paneled ceilings, the weight of overlaid unsupported insulation should not exceed the following recommendations: PSF Type Frame (lbs./sf) Spacing 1.3 1/2" Regular 24" o.c. (6.3 kg/m 2 ) 2.2 1/2" Regular 16" o.c. (10.7 kg/m 2 ) Panels 3/8" thick must not be overlaid with unsupported insulation. If required, a vapor retarder can be installed in exterior ceilings, and plenum or attic spaces should be properly vented. Installing Gypsum Board panels over an insulating blanket, installed continuously across the face of the framing members is not recommended. Blankets should be recessed and flanges attached to the sides of the studs or joists. Gypsum Board must be stored off the ground and under cover. Sufficient risers must be used to assure support for the entire length of the gypsum board to prevent sagging. Gypsum Board must be kept dry to mimize the potential for mold growth. Adequate care should be taken while transporting, storing, applying and maintaining gypsum board. For additional information, refer to the Gypsum Association publication, Guidelines for the Prevention of Mold Growth on Gypsum Wallboard (GA- 238) which is available at under Free Download Publications.

Gypsum Board that is to have a wall covering applied to it should be prepared and primed as described for painting. Gypsum Association GA-214, Recommended Specification for Levels of Gypsum Board Finish, should be referred to in order to determine the level of finishing needed to assure a surface properly prepared to accept the desired decoration. APPLICABLE STANDARDS AND REFERENCES ASTM C 1396 ASTM C 840 Gypsum Association GA-216 Gypsum Association GA-214 Federal Specification SS-L-30D Type III (Grade R), Gypsum Construction Guide INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS Installation of Gypsum Board should be consistent with the methods described in the noted standards and references. GridMarX Gypsum Board comes standard with GridMarX guide marks printed on the paper surface. These guide marks align with standard building dimensions and help to quickly identify fastener lines for stud and joist framing. Using GridMarX, accurate cuts can be made without having to draw lines. The use of GridMarX also provides quick identification and uniform nail/screw patterns. GridMarX guide marks run the machine direction of the board at five points in 4" increments. Marks run along the edge in both tapers and at 16", 24" and 32" in the field of the board. The marks cover easily with no bleed-through using standard paint products. Vertical Application - In a vertical application, GridMarX serve as a guide mark to help identify the exact location of framing members behind the gypsum board, eliminating the need for field-applied vertical lines. Horizontal Application - In a horizontal application, GridMarX serve as a reference mark to help identify the location of framing members behind the gypsum board. (If framing member is located 2" to the right of the GridMarX at the top edge of the board, it will be located 2" to the right down the face of the board.) DECORATION For best painting results, all surfaces, including joint compound, should be clean, dust-free and not glossy. To improve fastener and joint concealment, a coat of high quality drywall primer is recommended to equalize the absorption between surface paper and joint compound Rev. 07/15

23 PROFORM brand QUICK SET SETTING COMPOUND MANUFACTURER 2001 Rexford Road Charlotte, NC (704) Technical Information: NATIONAL ( ) Fax: FAX NGC1 ( ) Internet Home Page: nationalgypsum.com nationalgypsum.com/espanol /NGC BuyLine: 1100 DESCRIPTION ProForm brand Quick Set Setting Compound is a quick setting/hardening type joint compound that is not affected by humidity once it has set and dried. BASIC USES Quick Set Compound is specially formulated to provide excellent joint strength, even in poor drying conditions. Quick Set Compound permits heavy fills and faster joint finishing with low shrinkage. Quick Set Compound is compatible with all types of gypsum board and may be used where a shortened joint finishing schedule is desired. Quick Set Compound is used as a prefill material for gaps in gypsum board construction that are wider than recommended and also in voids in above-grade interior concrete. Quick Set Compound reduces joint deformities such as ridging and beading when used with Sta-Smooth Gypsum Board.

Contains No VOC. INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS Quick Set Compound is used for finishing joints on exterior soffit board and gypsum panel products in sheltered exterior ceiling and soffit areas. It is not recommended for use in exterior application on walls. Installation of Quick Set Compound should be consistent with methods described in the noted standards and references and as indicated below. In cold weather (outside temperature below 50 F [10 C]), temperatures within the building should be maintained at a minimum 50 F (10 C), both day and night, during joint finishing. Adequate ventilation should be provided to eliminate excess moisture. Conventional Taping And Finishing Taping: Fill joint and bed tape simultaneously. All flat gypsum board joints are to be filled and taped in one operation with Quick Set Compound, using ProForm brand Paper Tape in the conventional manner. When ProForm brand Fiberglass Mesh Tape is used, it is firmly pressed to the gypsum board, spanning the joints. Quick Set Compound is then immediately applied to the joints. The compound must be forced through the tape to fill the joint. All inside corners may be taped using appropriate joint compounds. Quick Set Compound is used for the first coat on nail or screw heads and will decrease problems with fastener imperfections. If a two-trip application method is desired, Quick Set Compound may also be used for the first coat on cornerbead and for taping inside corners. First finishing coat: As soon as Quick Set Compound used for taping has hardened, the first finishing coat may be applied on the flat joints even before they are dry. Any joint compound may be used for this operation, including Quick Set Lite and ProForm Ready Mix Joint Compounds. A second coat may be applied at this time to nail or screw heads; one coat on one side of the inside corners and a second coat on cornerbead if Quick Set Compound was used for the first coat. Second finishing coat: As soon as the Quick Set Compound used for the previous steps has set, or the ready mix compound has thoroughly dried, a second finishing coat is applied to all flat joints using Quick Set Lite or joint compound. A third coat is applied over nail or screw heads and on cornerbead as required. The unfinished side of the inside corners is also finished at this time. Taping And Finishing With Mechanical Tools Taping: Taping tools, such as the banjo and hopper types, are recommended for taping the flat joints with Quick Set Compound and the inside corners with regular or Quick Set joint compounds. Automatic taping tools are not recommended for use with Quick Set Compound because of the clean-up difficulties associated with hardening-type compounds. Mechanical tools can be used for taping the inside corners when a regular joint compound is used. When automatic taping tools are used for taping the flat joints, the flat joints and all space between the wallboard edges on the butt joints are prefilled with Quick Set Compound and allowed to harden (30 minutes longer than the set time designated on the bag) before taping with a regular joint compound. Finishing: Mechanical-type finishing tools can be used in the normal manner for the finishing operations since conventional finishing compounds are used. Concrete: Interior poured concrete ceilings must be properly prepared prior to filling and finishing. Grind high areas in concrete level with surrounding areas. Remove efflorescence, greasy deposits and any form oil. Prime exposed metal with quality rust-inhibitive primer. Fill voids and level offsets with Quick Set Compound. Apply finishing coats of Quick Set Compound as necessary after each coat has hardened. Mixing Quick Set Compound is available in 20, 45, 90 and 210 minute set times. Mix no more compound than can be applied in the designated set time. A plastic container is recommended because of its ease in cleaning between batches. Do not use a wood or aluminum bucket. Add the compound gradually to clean water while stirring. Use only fresh, clean water suitable for human consumption. Mix at the ratio of pints (6-7 L) of water to the 25 lb. (11.3 kg) bag. Mix the compound free of lumps with a mechanical mixer or by hand. Mechanical mixing is recommended. Allow to stand five minutes as a wetting period and remix to further improve the working qualities. If a slightly thinner compound is desired, add an additional pint of water, or less, after the compound is thoroughly mixed. Close opened bag as tight as possible or setting time may be affected. DECORATION Before paint, wallcovering or other decorating materials are applied, all areas must be thoroughly dry, dust-free and treated with a coat of goodquality primer. The selection of a paint to give the specified or desired finished characteristics is the responsibility of the architect or contractor. Gypsum Association GA-214, Recommended Specification for Levels of Gypsum Board Finish, should be referred to in order to determine the level of finishing needed to assure a surface properly prepared to accept the desired decoration. Quick Set Compound is not recommended for direct decoration without first being covered with Quick Set Lite or ready mix joint compound Rev. 07/12

25 PROFORM brand ALL PURPOSE READY MIX JOINT COMPOUND MANUFACTURER 2001 Rexford Road Charlotte, NC (704) Technical Information: NATIONAL ( ) Fax: FAX NGC1 ( ) Internet Home Page: nationalgypsum.com nationalgypsum.com/espanol /NGC BuyLine: 1100 DESCRIPTION ProForm brand All Purpose Ready Mix Joint Compound is a pre-mixed vinyl base compound that may be used directly from the container.

COMPOSITION & MATERIALS May contain any of the following: Component CAS No. Limestone Plaster of Paris Gypsum Perlite Talc Mica Clay Water Latex VOC Content: <2g/L Contains No Asbestos INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS Installation of All Purpose Joint Compound should be consistent with methods described in the noted standards and references and as indicated below. All Purpose Joint Compound may need a slight amount of mixing before use, and in any case should be lightly mixed before any water is added. Mixing may be done with a potato-masher-type tool or by use of a low-speed drill. Use directly from the container for treating fasteners and cornerbeads or for taping and finishing joints. Care should be taken when water is added to thin to a desired consistency. A uniformly thin layer of joint compound should be applied over the joint approximately 4" wide. The tape is then centered over the joint and embedded into the compound, leaving sufficient joint compound under the tape to provide proper bond. A thin coat of compound should cover the tape to minimize wrinkling or curling. Ceiling, wall angles and inside corner angles are reinforced with the tape folded to conform to the angle and embedded into the compound. After the compound is thoroughly dry (approximately 24 hours) the tape is covered with a coat of all-purpose or topping compound spread over the tape approximately 3" on each edge. After this coat is thoroughly dry, another coat of all-purpose or topping compound is applied with a slight, uniform crown over the joint. This coat should be smooth and the edges feathered approximately 3" beyond the preceding coat. All inside corners are coated with at least two coats of compound with the edges feathered out. All nail or screw head dimples should receive three coats. These coats may be applied as each coat is applied to the joints. Flanges of gypsum board cornerbead should be concealed by at least two coats of compound. The first coat should be all-purpose compound and the second coat can be all-purpose or topping compound feathered out approximately 9" on both sides of the exposed metal nose. In cold weather (outside temperature below 50 F [10 C]), temperatures within the building should be maintained at a minimum 50 F (10 C), both day and night, during joint finishing. Adequate ventilation should be provided to eliminate excess moisture. Wet/damp conditions slow the drying process. Subsequently, 24 hours drying time between coats may not be sufficient. Adequate drying time is essential to prevent unwanted conditions such as cracks from delayed shrinkage. DECORATION Before paint, wallcovering or other decorating materials are applied, all areas must be thoroughly dry, dust free and treated with a coat of goodquality, high solids, flat latex primer. The selection of a paint to give the specified or desired finished characteristics is the responsibility of the architect or contractor. Gypsum Association GA-214, Recommended Specification for Levels of Gypsum Board Finish, should be referred to in order to determine the level of finishing needed to assure a surface properly prepared to accept the desired decoration Rev. 11/11

Shaded area is below the minimum application temperature requirement of 50 and is not recommended for the application of joint compound. INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS Installation of ProForm Joint Tape should be consistent with methods described in the noted standards and references and as indicated below. ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS In cold weather (outside temperature below 50 F [10 C]), temperatures within the building should be maintained at a minimum 50 F (10 C), both day and night, during joint finishing. Adequate ventilation should be provided to eliminate excess moisture. Wet/damp conditions slow the drying process. Adequate drying time is essential to prevent unwanted conditions such as delayed shrinkage. Subsequently, 24 hours drying time between coats may not be sufficient. (See Joint Compound Drying Time Guide above). PROFORM JOINT TAPE TREATMENT WITH READY MIX JOINT COMPOUNDS Apply a uniform layer of ready mix joint compound approximately 4" wide over the joints of the gypsum board. Center ProForm Joint Tape over the joint and embed in the compound to ensure a proper bond. Using a broad knife or trowel, remove excess material leaving about 1/32" of compound under the tape and then apply a thin coat of compound over the tape. Ceiling and wall angles are treated by folding the Pro- Form Joint Tape to fit the angles and embedding it in the compound. After the compound is thoroughly dry (see Joint Compound Drying Time Guide above) apply a second coat of ready mix, feathering about 2" beyond the first coat of compound. Continue this process until the desired finish is achieved. All inside corners should be finished with at least one coat of ready mix joint compound with the edges feathered out. All nail or screw head dimples and flanges of trim beads should receive two coats of ready mix joint compound. The second coat over the beads should be feathered out 9" on both sides. Allow each application of ready mix joint compound to dry thoroughly, then wet sand if necessary. If dry sanding is preferred, ventilate using an approved respirator and wear eye protection. PROFORM JOINT TAPE TREATMENT WITH FAST SETTING JOINT COMPOUNDS Mix the fast setting joint compound per manufacturer s instructions. Do not contaminate the compound with other materials, dirty water or previous mixes. Do not re-temper. Apply the fast setting joint compound to the joint. Center ProForm Joint Tape over the joint line and embed into the soft compound. Using a broad knife or trowel, remove excess material leaving about 1/32" of compound under the tape. Allow the treated joints to set prior to the next coat of compound. PROFORM JOINT TAPE TREATMENT WITH GYPSUM VENEER PLASTER SYSTEMS Trowel gypsum veneer plaster over the joint line filling the channel formed by the tapered edges of the Kal-Kore Plaster Base in an even fashion. Center ProForm Joint Tape over the joint line and embed the tape into the soft plaster. Using a trowel, remove excess material leaving about 1/32" of plaster under the tape. Allow the treated joints to set prior to general plaster application. NOTE: For Gypsum Veneer Plaster, during cold weather, maintain a temperature of 55 F (13 C) to 70 F (21 C) before, during and after installation of all system components until veneer plaster has dried. DECORATION Before paint, wallcovering or other decorating materials are applied, all areas must be thoroughly dry, dust free and treated with a coat of goodquality, high solids, flat latex primer. The selection of a paint to give the specified or desired finished characteristics is the responsibility of the architect or contractor. Gypsum Association GA-214, Recommended Specification for Levels of Gypsum Board Finish, should be referred to in order to determine the level of finishing needed to assure a surface properly prepared to accept the desired decoration Rev. 09/11

29 Gold Bond BRAND Gypsum Board /NGC DESCRIPTION TECHNICAL DATA RECOMMENDATIONS Gypsum Board is the name for a family of board products consisting of a noncombustible core, primarily of gypsum, with a paper surfacing on the face, back and long edges.* The popularity of gypsum board results from a number of factors. First, it takes virtually any decoration from paint or textures to vinyl and paper laminates. It also lends itself to creative shaping of interior surfaces, allowing the maximum in design flexibility. Gypsum board is an economical alternative to other products. Because it is lightweight, it is easy to handle for speedy installation. With its natural properties, it is durable yet easy to repair. In addition, gypsum board s fire resistance and sound control capabilities further demonstrate its desirability in building systems. Ever conscious of the environmental challenges we face in today s world, National Gypsum produces its gypsum board with 100 percent recycled paper on both the face and back. Gold Bond gypsum board is available with a variety of edge configurations. For easy joint finishing, the tapered edge is preferred to provide a monolithic surface. Where joints will be exposed, square or beveled edges should be considered. National Gypsum also manufactures gypsum board with proprietary edge configurations made to accommodate a variety of wall systems and finishing techniques. *GA-216 Fire and sound ratings for building systems utilizing gypsum board are dependent on the core type and thickness of the gypsum Fire and sound ratings for building systems utilizing gypsum board are dependent on the core type and thickness of the gypsum board, its application in conjunction with the component parts, and the manner in which it is applied. Tests for fire resistance and sound transmission, performed by independent laboratories, have resulted in specific ratings for walls/ partitions; floor/ceiling assemblies; shaftwalls, stairwells and area separation walls; and columns. For maximum fire resistance and sound control, double layer construction is generally recommended since the additional mass further retards heat and noise penetration. Gypsum board can be installed to both metal and wood framing using nails, screws or adhesives in combination with nails or screws. In many instances, the application will dictate which fastening method is appropriate. Control joints may be necessary to prevent cracking in the gypsum board facing of drywall systems, especially in areas where structural elements such as slabs, columns or exterior walls can bear directly on nonload-bearing partitions. To relieve the stresses which occur as a result of movement induced by changes in moisture, temperature or both, control joints are required in both partitions and ceilings. GYPSUM BOARD INSULATING PROPERTIES For purposes of calculating U values, the C factor for 1" gypsum board is 1.2; Resistance R for 3/8" board is.32; for 1/2" board.45; for 5/8" board.56 and for 1" board.83. WEIGHTS 1/4" Regular lbs/sf 3/8" Regular lbs/sf 1/2" Regular lbs/sf Examine and inspect materials to which gypsum board is to be applied. Remedy all defects prior to installation of drywall. Any defects in the finished installation due to misaligned framing or other cause will be the responsibility of the work performed under that section of the specification and such defects shall be remedied under that section of the specification. Gypsum board shall be applied first to ceiling at right angles to framing members, then to walls. Boards of maximum practical length shall be used so that an absolute minimum number of end joints occur. Board edges shall be brought into contact with each other but shall not be forced into place. Gypsum board joints at openings shall be located so that no end joint will align with edges of opening unless control joints will be installed at these points. End joints shall be staggered, and joints on opposite sides of a partition shall not occur on the same stud. Gypsum board shall be held in firm contact with the framing member while fasteners are being driven. Fastening shall proceed from center portion of the board toward the edges and ends. Fasteners shall be set with the heads slightly below the surface of the board in a dimple formed by the hammer or power screwdriver. Care shall be taken to avoid breaking the face paper of the gypsum board. Improperly driven nails or screws shall be removed. See page 63, Environmental Conditions and Limitations. CURVED SURFACES To apply gypsum board over a curved surface, place a stop at one end of the board and then gently and gradually push on the other end, forcing the center against the framing until the curve is complete. Shorter radii than shown in the table may be obtained by moistening the face and back papers of the board with water, stacking on a flat surface, and allowing the water to soak into the core for at least one hour. When the board is dry it will regain its original hardness. Gypsum board may be applied to curved surfaces in accordance with the following: GYPSUM BOARD BENDING RADII Thickness Bending Lengthwise Bending Widthwise 1/4" (6.4 mm) 5'-0" (1524 mm) 15'-0" (4572 mm) 3/8" (9.4 mm) 7'-6" (2286 mm) 25'-0" (7620 mm) 1/2" (12.7 mm) *10'-0" (3048 mm) 5/8" (15.9 mm) 15'-0" (4572 mm) *Bending two layers of 1/4" (6.4 mm) board successively will permit a bending radius shown for 1/4" (6.4 mm) board. Note: To achieve tighter bending radii, use Gold Bond 1/4" High Flex Gypsum Board. See page 75 for additional information and 1/4" High Flex minimum bending radii chart.

45 Installation Guide Ready Mix Compounds Environmental Conditions Varying weather conditions can impact both the quality and appearance of taped drywall joints. Relative humidity, plus temperature, will affect the working characteristics of all joint compounds. The potential for finishing and decorating problems are minimized when temperature, humidity and airflow remain constant and as close to occupancy environmental conditions as possible. A minimum temperature of 50 F (10 C) should be maintained continuously for 48 hours prior to and throughout the finishing process until applied materials are thoroughly dry. For example, cool wet weather will slow down the drying process while hot, dry weather hastens the drying process. Exposure to winds, breezes or drafts while drying can also affect the performance of joint compounds. Typical problems from improper drying can be cracking, excessive shrinkage, ridging and beading, banding or bond failure. A further explanation of these conditions is outlined in the Problems and Solutions section of this guide. Proper precautions at the job site should always be taken to minimize the adverse effects of weather on drying. These precautions will ultimately reduce the application time and expense from call backs and rework. Storage Shelf-life up to 9 months under good storage conditions. See production date code. To prevent spoilage and freezing, maintain temperature at a minimum 50 F (10 C) and protect container from exposure to extreme heat and sunlight. Frozen Ready Mix. Allow material to thaw at room temperature for at least 24 hours. When thawed, turn the container upside-down for at least 15 minutes. Turn pail right side up, remove lid and immediately remix with an electric drill. Ready Mix should be lump free and ready to use within 1 minute. Discard all Ready Mix that does not remix to a lump-free consistency.

Shaded area is below the minimum application temperature requirement of 50 F and is not recommended for the application of joint compound. Note: To ensure best results, only National Gypsum products should be used together in construction systems. Mixing with other brands is not recommended. All National Gypsum joint compounds are formulated without asbestos and therefore comply with Consumer Product Safety Standards. Stacking Ready Mix pails or cartons should not be stacked more than two pallets in height. Mold And Mildew Growth ProForm brand XP Ready Mix with Dust-Tech ProForm brand XP Ready Mix with Dust-Tech was designed to provide extra protection against mold and mildew compared to standard ready mix compound. When tested by an independent lab per ASTM D 3273 ( Standard Test Method for Resistance to Growth of Mold on the Surface of Interior Coatings in an Environmental Chamber ), XP Ready Mix with Dust-Tech achieved a score of 10, the best possible score for this test. ProForm XP with Dust-Tech also resists the growth of mold per ASTM G 21 (Standard Practice for Determining Resistance of Synthetic Polymeric Materials to Fungi) with a score of 0, the best possible score. When tested in a system with ProForm brand Paper Joint Tape, Gold Bond brand XP Gypsum Board or Gold Bond brand exp Interior Extreme TM Gypsum Panels, the XP system achieves a score of 10 for ASTM D 3273 and a score of 0 for ASTM G 21. These are the best possible mold-resistant scores for these tests. Planning And Prevention: Mold And Mildew Resistance Planning and prevention is the most effective way to avert the growth of mold or mildew. Gypsum wallboard and finishing products should be delivered to projects as near to the time it will be used as possible. Wallboard delivered to a job site must be placed under cover immediately, properly protected and not exposed to outside elements such as rain, snow or other high moisture conditions. If building materials get wet from any moisture source, that source must first be identified and corrected. If mold or mildew growth occurs, or if you suspect it might occur due to environmental conditions and moisture, a determination must be made to either attempt to dry and clean the affected areas or to replace the affected materials. Care must be taken in this evaluation, and if you do not have the training or experience to recognize and to make proper decisions about repair or removal, you should consult a professional. No material can be considered mold proof, nor is it certain that any material will resist mold or mildew indefinitely. When used in conjunction with good design, handling and construction practices, XP Ready Mix with Dust-Tech can provide increased mold resistance versus standard ready-mixed compounds. As with any building material, avoiding water exposure during handling, storage and installation and after installation is complete is the best way to avoid the formation of mold or mildew. 16

46 Setting Compounds Mixing Mix no more compound than can be applied in the designated set time. Place the amount of water recommended, (see mixing ratio) on compound packaging in a clean mixing container. Add the compound gradually to clean, drinkable water while stirring. Mix the compound free of lumps with a mechanical mixer or by hand. Allow standing (soak) for 1 minute, and then remix until consistency is smooth and creamy. If a thinner or thicker mix is desired, add water or powder sparingly. Careful not to overmix as it could lead to shortened working times. DO NOT mix with any other joint compounds (wet or dry) and not recommended for use in automatic tools. Prior to application, surface areas should be clean and free of dust and debris. Estimated Working And Setting Times One of the most crucial things for selecting the proper ProForm Quick Set Joint Compound is matching its working time and setting time ranges to the project. It should be noted that working time and setting time are not the same. Working Time Working time refers to the period during which the ProForm Quick Set is usable for application. At the end of this time, the material begins to stiffen and can no longer be spread easily. Working time should correspond to the required time for actual application. Setting Time Setting time refers to the time after which the applied ProForm Quick Set Compound will become adequately hardened so that another layer can be applied. For manufactured or modular builders, the setting time should match your timetable for moving a floor along the line. Approximate Working Time Versus Set/Hardening Time Quick Set/ Working Time Set/Hardening Time Quick Set Lite (Minutes) (Minutes) Limitations m Do not apply over moist surfaces or surfaces subject to direct moisture. m Do not mix with any other material. Use only clean, room temperature, drinkable water. m Mixing equipment and tools must be thoroughly cleaned between batches. m Each fresh batch of compound must be kept free of previous batches; otherwise the working time will be shortened. m High-speed mixing or excessive mixing will shorten the working time of the ProForm Quick Set Compounds. m Do not add water or remix after compound begins to thicken and harden. m Not recommended for use in automatic taping tools. m Close opened bag as tight as possible for storage or setting time may be affected. m Shelf life up to 6 months in high humidity areas and 12 months under good storage conditions. See production date code. To prevent spoilage and freezing, maintain temperature at a minimum 50 F (10 C) and protect container from exposure to extreme heat, sunlight and water. m The potential for finishing and decorating problems are minimized when temperature, humidity and airflow remain constant and as close to occupancy environmental conditions as possible. A minimum temperature of 50 F (10 C) should be maintained continuously for 48 hours prior to and throughout the finishing process until applied materials are thoroughly dry. Frequently Asked Questions 1. Why is the product lumpy after mixing? m Water was added to the ProForm Quick Set, rather than the compound being added to the water. m ProForm Quick Set was not allowed to soak (for approximately one minute) after initial mix before remixing was initiated. 2. Why is the product setting much faster than the advertised range? m Dirty mixing water and/or application tools. m Excessive mixing of the compound. m Foreign material (accidentally or deliberately) added to the mixture. m Mixing water too hot. 3. Why is the product setting much slower than the advertised range? m Too much water was used. m Impure water source (dissolved organics in the water generally retard the set time). m Foreign material (accidentally or deliberately) added to the mixture. m Water too cold. m Product was remixed after initial stiffening began. 4. Why does the product display weak strength? m Too much water was used. m Foreign material (accidentally or deliberately) added to the mixture. Joint And Corner Finishing Application 1. ProForm brand Quick Set compounds should be mixed in accordance with the printed instructions on the package. 2. A uniformly thin layer of joint compound should be applied over the joint approximately 4" wide. Tape should be centered over the joint and embedded into the compound leaving sufficient joint compound under the tape for proper bond. Ceiling and wall angles plus all inside corner angles should be reinforced with tape folded to conform to angles and embedded into the compound. 3. After compound is thoroughly dry or hard (approximately 24 hours for Regular compound or 2 hours for Quick Set), joint tape should be covered with a coat of joint or topping compound. The compound should be spread over the tape approximately 3" on each side and feathered out at edges. After thoroughly dry, another coat of joint or topping compound should be applied with a slight uniform crown over the joint. This coat should be smoothed and feathered approximately 3" beyond the preceding coat. 4. All inside corners should be coated with at least one coat of joint or topping compound and the edges feathered out. 5. All nail or screw head dimples should receive three coats. This may be applied along with each joint coat. 6. Flanges of wallboard cornerbead should be concealed by at least two coats of compound. The second coat should be feathered out approximately 9" on both sides of the exposed metal nose. 7. For joint and corner treatment with Quick Set Compound, fill joint and bed tape simultaneously. After Quick Set Compound has hardened, apply any ProForm Joint Compound. 8. For wet sanding, allow each application of compound to dry or harden. If dry sanding is performed, ventilate work area and/ or use a NIOSH/MSHA-approved respirator. Safety glasses are also recommended. Caution should be used to avoid roughing the wallboard paper. All wallboard and treated areas should be smooth and ready for decoration. 17

47 Installation Guide Spray Textures Recommended Application Practices Gypsum Wallboard: Surfaces, including joint-treated areas, must be smooth, clean and dry. First apply a coat of sealing primer. Allow primer to dry thoroughly, and maintain adequate drying conditions after application. Primer is to minimize sagging of gypsum wallboard and discoloration or difference in sheen on ceiling surface. Add dry texture to water. Use a piston pump or Mono-type pump with a texture gun. Minimum 3/4" I.D. material hose. A hopper-type gun with adequate air supply is also suitable. Typical coverage is 8-10 sq. ft. per lb. for aggregated and sq. ft. per lb. for nonaggregated textures. Mask appropriate areas before spraying and promptly remove overspray from unprotected surfaces afterward. Follow the instructions of the spray equipment manufacturer for adjusting controls and cleaning. If a second coat is desired, allow the first coat to dry thoroughly. Note: Gypsum wallboard ceiling surfaces to be decorated with water-thinned spray texture shall be 1/2" or 5/8" thick and applied perpendicular to the framing. Framing shall not exceed 16" o.c. for Gold Bond brand 1/2" Regular Gypsum board and 24" o.c. for 1/2" High Strength TM Ceiling Board and Gold Bond brand 5/8" Gypsum board. Concrete: Allow concrete to cure for at least 28 days. Clip protruding wire ends and spot with rust-inhibitive primer. Remove all form oil, grease and dirt, or any loose or water-soluble material. Grind down any form ridges, and level any remaining unevenness with ProForm Quick Set Joint Compound. Apply a coat of alkaliresistant sealing primer over the entire surface to be textured.

48 Five Levels Of Finish For Gypsum Board 0 Level 0 Typically specified in temporary construction or whenever the final decoration has not been determined. No taping, finishing, or accessories required. Level 1 Typically specified joint treatment in smoke barrier applications and areas not normally open to public view such as plenum areas above ceilings, attics, and other areas where the assembly would generally be concealed. All joints and interior angles shall have tape embedded in joint compound. Excess joint compound, tool marks and ridges are acceptable. Accessories are optional unless specified in the project documents. Level 2 Typically specified where gypsum panel products are used as a substrate for tile; may be used in garages, warehouse storage or other similar areas where surface appearance is not a concern. All joints and interior angles shall have tape embedded in joint compound and wiped with a joint knife leaving a thin coating of joint compound over all joints and interior angles. Joint compound applied over the body of the tape at the time of tape embedment shall be considered a separate coat of joint compound and shall satisfy the conditions of this level. Fastener heads and accessories shall be covered with one (1) coat of joint compound. Surface shall be free of excess joint compound. Tool marks and ridges are acceptable. Level 3 Typically specified in appearance areas which are to receive heavyor medium-texture finishes (spray or hand applied) before final painting, or where heavy-duty/ commercial grade wallcoverings are to be applied as the final decoration. The design professional shall specify the mock-up procedure and mock-up construction details within the project documents. This level of finish is not recommended for smooth wall designs or applications where light textures, noncontinuous textures, or lightweight wallcoverings are applied. All joints and interior angles shall have tape embedded in joint compound and shall be immediately wiped with a joint knife leaving a thin coating of joint compound over all joints and interior angles. One (1) separate coat of joint compound shall be applied over all joints and interior angles. Fastener heads and accessories shall be covered with two (2) separate coats of joint compound. The surface shall be smooth and free of tool marks and ridges. Jobsite mock-up(s) shall be used to determine acceptance of the finish within the building. Note: It is recommended that the final decoration specification (e.g., painting specification) include the application of a priming material prior to the decoration. Level 4 Typically specified in appearance areas where smooth wall designs are decorated with flat paints, light textures, non-continuous textures, or wallcoverings are to be applied. The design professional shall specify the mock-up procedure and mock-up construction details within the project documents. This level of finish is not recommended where non-flat or dark/deep tone paints are applied. In critical lighting areas, flat paints applied over light continuous textures tend to reduce joint photographing. The weight, texture, and sheen level of wallcoverings applied over this level of finish should be carefully evaluated. Joints and fasteners must be adequately concealed if the wallcovering used is of lightweight construction, contains limited pattern, has a sheen level other than flat, or any combination thereof. Unbacked vinyl wallcoverings are not recommended over this level of finish. No taping, finishing or accessories required. 1 All joints and interior angles have tape set in compound. 2 Thin coating of compound over all joints and interior angles. 3 Additional coating of compound over joints and interior angles. Smooth and free of tool marks and ridges. 4 Another coating of compound over flat joints, smooth and free of tool marks or ridges. 5 Skim coat applied over entire surface. Surface smooth and free of tool marks or ridges. 19

49 Installation Guide All joints and interior angles shall have tape embedded in joint compound and shall be immediately wiped with a joint knife leaving a thin coating of joint compound over all joints and interior angles. Two (2) separate coats of joint compound shall be applied over all flat joints and one (1) separate coat of joint compound shall be applied over interior angles. Fastener heads and accessories shall be covered with three (3) separate coats of joint compound. The surface shall be smooth and free of tool marks and ridges. Where glass mat and/or fiber reinforced gypsum panels are installed, refer to the gypsum panel manufacturer for specific finishing recommendations. Jobsite mock-up(s) shall be used to determine acceptance of the finish within the building. Note: It is recommended that the final decoration specification (e.g., painting specification) include the application of a priming material prior to the decoration. Level 5 Typically specified in appearance areas where smooth wall designs are decorated with non-flat paints (i.e., sheen/gloss) or other glossy decorative finishes, dark/deep tone paints are applied, or critical lighting conditions occur. The design professional shall specify the mock-up procedure and mockup construction details within the project documents. This level of finish is the most effective method to provide a uniform surface and minimize the possibility of joint photographing and/or fasteners showing through the final decoration. All joints and interior angles shall have tape embedded in joint compound and shall be immediately wiped with a joint knife leaving a thin consistent coating of joint compound over all joints and interior angles. Two (2) separate coats of joint compound shall be applied over all flat joints and one (1) separate coat of joint compound shall be applied over interior angles. Fastener heads and accessories shall be covered with three (3) separate coats of joint compound. A thin skim coat of joint compound (see Skim Coat in Comments) or a material manufactured especially for this purpose shall be applied to the entire surface. The surface shall be smooth and free of tool marks and ridges. Where glass mat and/or fiber reinforced gypsum panels are installed, refer to the gypsum panel manufacturer for specific finishing recommendations. Jobsite mock-up(s) shall be used to determine acceptance of the finish within the building. Note: It is recommended that the final decoration specification (e.g., painting specification) include the application of a priming material prior to the decoration. For more information, refer to the Gypsum Association document GA-214. Notes 20

50 Problems And Solutions Conditions Joint Problems Tape Photographing Probable Cause Preventive Action Corrective Action Slow drying of finishing coats. Too much compound under tape. Joint compound too thin. Correct drying conditions. Embed tape properly. Use joint compound thicker. Use ProForm brand Joint Tape. Sand down the tape outline and seal. Refloat if necessary before decoration. Prevent finish coat moisture from re-wetting the tape by applying a thinner coat for fast drying. Starved Joint Compound applied too thin in viscosity and thickness. Too little compound over joint. Excessive sanding. Use finishing compound at heavier viscosity and proper thickness of coats. Do not over-sand. Allow to thoroughly dry, then apply an additional coat of topping or joint compound. High Joint Excess joint compound under the tape. Excess joint compound over the tape and improper feathering. Poor framing. Improper Gypsum Board application. Improper sanding. Use of compound too heavy. Proper thickness of compounds for taping and finishing. Feather finishing coats wider than previous coats. Correct poor framing and improper wallboard application to ensure proper alignment. Sand properly. Sand joint to near flush without sanding into tape. Apply a wider finishing coat properly feathered, if necessary. Apply a second finishing coat or skim coat. Beading/Ridging Lumber expansion and contraction. Improper heating and ventilation. Cold weather with high humidity. Improper application of Gypsum Board. Excess compound over joints and needless wide joints. Rough or poorly cut butt joint. Use Quick Set System to minimize beading or ridging. Alternatives include: double-layer lamination system. Allow one full heating cycle -- six months to one year -- before repairing, then sand ridge flush and apply one or more finishing coats of joint or topping compound. Use critical lighting to determine if bead is eliminated prior to decoration. Nail Problems Nail Pops Framing out of alignment. Lumber shrinkage. Improper Gypsum Board application. Improper heating and ventilation. Provide heat and ventilation to dry framing lumber. Align framing lumber. Nail center of wallboard first. Hold gypsum board firm to nailing member when nailing. Use proper nails. Check all nails before nail spotting. Systems recommended to reduce or eliminate nail pops include: double-layer lamination, double nailing system, floating angle system, adhesive nail-on system and screw application. When nail pops occur before decoration, repair immediately. If problem occurs after decoration, repair after framing lumber is dry (usually one heating cycle). To repair, drive a GWB-54 nail 1-1/2 from each side of popped nail while holding Gypsum Board firm to the nailing member. Countersink popped nail, remove loose joint compound, then apply finishing coats of joint or topping compound. Depressed Nails Framing out of alignment. Lumber expansion due to moisture absorption. Improper Gypsum Board application. Too few nails, improper furring, structural movement. Nails dimpled too deeply. Align framing lumber. Allow dry lumber to become acclimated. Correct gypsum board application as described for nail pops. Use proper nail spacing. When furring, use no less than 2" x 2". Use systems recommended to reduce or eliminate nail pops. Avoid fracturing paper when driving nails. Repair as described for nail pops, unless most nails are depressed and wallboard is loose (usually ceilings). Re-nail entire surface using proper spacing. Dimple depressed nails and apply finishing coats of joint or topping compound. 21

51 Problems And Solutions Conditions Texturing Problems Lumping Probable Cause Preventive Action Corrective Action Too much water added to initial mix. Adding water to powder. Add powder to water using less water than initially specified. After mix is smooth and lump-free, add remaining water to adjust mix to a workable viscosity. Add powder until mix thickens. Continue mixing until lumps disappear. Mix Too Thin Too much water added in initial mix or inadequate soaking time in cold water. Use recommended water requirements in initial mix. Allow mixed ingredients to soak for several minutes, when necessary, if using cold water. Add powder until mix thickens. Aggregate Fallout (During Spraying) Spray gun too close to surface and/ or excessive air pressure at nozzle. Hold spray gun at proper distance and angle from surface to prevent aggregate fallout. Lower air pressure. Hold spray gun at proper distance and angle from surface to prevent excessive fallout. Aggregate Floatout Too much water added during initial mix and/or inadequate mixing after initial water is added. Use recommended water requirements and make sure water is properly blended into mix. Add powder until mix thickens. Poor Coverage Mix too thick for proper spray viscosity and/or improper application such as spraying too slow, overloading surface with spray material and using incorrect spray pressures. Use recommended water volume for mixing to ensure sprayable viscosity. Use proper spray application to ensure uniform dispersion of aggregate and proper coverage. Carefully add water to mix. Use proper spray techniques. Adjust spray pressure. Poor Hide Over-thinned mix causing a reduction in both wet and dry hide. Mix too thick causing poor atomization resulting in surface show-through. Improper application/over-extending spray. Selecting improper spray pressures. No primer used prior to texturing. Use recommended water volume for mixing to ensure sprayable viscosity. Use proper spray application to ensure uniform dispersion of aggregate and proper coverage. Use a good quality drywall primer. Add powder or water depending on mix consistency. Adjust spray pressure. Use proper spray technique. Apply finished paint over textured surface. Poor Bond Or Hardness Over-thinned mix results in over-dilution of latex binder in spray texture. Improper surface preparation. Contamination with other materials. Use recommended water volume for mixing. Remove all loose material, dust, grease, oil and prime surface with a quality drywall primer. Do not intermix with other products. Always use a clean mixing container and clean water. Scrape down surface and repeat application following recommendations under Prevention. Clogged Spray Equipment Contamination of mix with oversized particles can sometimes clog spray nozzle orifice. Prevent contamination during mixing and spraying. Use correct nozzle size for aggregate being sprayed. Check mix for contamination and/ or oversized particles. If contaminated, screen out contaminants or discard and remix new batch. Material Pumping Problems Mixed spray material too heavy. Pump equipment old and worn. Equipment improper size for spray product. Use recommended water volume for mixing. Make sure proper equipment is being used and that spray machine is in good repair. Thin mix if too heavy for pumping. Unsatisfactory Spray Pattern Worn spray equipment (either fluid or spray nozzle) and/or improper air pressure. Improper spray technique and/or poor spray mix consistency. Inspect spray nozzles to ensure good working condition. Replace any worn parts. Improve spraying technique. Add recommended water volume to ensure proper spraying consistency. 22

52 Conditions Texturing Problems (cont.) Texture Buildup Probable Cause Preventive Action Corrective Action Spraying or texturing over surfaces with major differences in surface porosity or suction (improperly primed). Thin texture will tend to build up over high suction surfaces. Prime entire surface with a good quality drywall primer. Follow mixing instructions. Remove all texture from sprayed surface and re-apply following instructions under Prevention. Joint Show-Through Over-extended and over-thinned primer won t adequately hide the contrast between finished joints and Gypsum Board paper. Use recommended water volume when mixing texture and apply at recommended coverage rates. Prime surface with a good quality drywall primer prior to application of spray texture. Allow spray to thoroughly dry, then prime with a quality drywall primer and re-spray or paint textured surface. Joint Shows Through As White Band Spraying over unprimed surfaces during cool, humid, slow drying conditions. Joint stays white, water solubles in Gypsum Board paper bleed through. Prime surface with a good quality drywall primer before applying texture. Allow spray to thoroughly dry, then paint textured surface. Shrinkage Problems Shrinkage Compound used too thin or watery. Applied too soon after mixing. Improper drying between coats. Painting before joints are thoroughly dry. Too deep fills in one coat. Slow drying. Use compound at heaviest workable consistency. Allow to stand before using. Allow thorough drying of compound between coats and prior to painting. Apply additional coats on deep fills. Provide proper drying. Allow to thoroughly dry and re-coat. Provide proper drying. Delayed Shrinkage Improper drying conditions. Painting before compound and wallboard are thoroughly dry. Under high humidity, slow drying conditions, joints and wallboard may hold moisture for weeks. Provide proper drying conditions. Allow complete drying before each coat of joint treatment and before repainting. Allow to thoroughly dry and re-coat affected joints. Misinterpreted Shrinkage Improper wallboard application including: nails dimpled too deep, fractured core of wallboard, fractured face paper, corner bead applied improperly, tape photographing. Less dimple of nails. Press wallboard snug to nailing member before dimpling nail. Use Gold Bond brand Gypsum Board. Re-nail where necessary. Use Quick Set compound for at least the first coat on nails and corner bead. (See Tape Photographing.) Nails: re-nail where necessary. Cut out any loose areas and fill with two or more coats of Quick Set or regular joint compound. Re-coat corner bead. Miscellaneous Problems Pock Marking Entrapment of air in the mixed compound and in application. Overmixing of compound. Compound mixed too thin. Heavy fills. Improper application technique. Compound applied too loosely. Mix compound as quickly as possible and let stand until binder is in solution before remixing. Mechanical mixers should have 500 RPM maximum. Use heavier mix. Make additional passes over joints and bead with hand or mechanical tools. File trowel edges square regularly to avoid entrapment in application. Apply compound thinly and use more pressure on finish coat. Remove sanding dust that may collect in pocks prior to painting and refloat joint as necessary. When condition exists after painting, float with compound and repaint. 23

74 ProForm brand FS-90 Fire-Shield /NGC

75 ProForm brand FS-90 Fire-Shield The easy, effective and efficient fire-stop system. Introduction Building-safety studies indicate that through-floor and through-wall penetrations significantly contribute to fire-related deaths. Properly sealing fire walls and other time-related partitions can slow or prevent the spread of fire, smoke, toxic gas and water. That s why National Gypsum developed FS-90 Fire-Shield compound. It s an effective and efficient fire and smoke stop application that helps protect structures. EASY TO INSTALL Available in 25-lb. bags, FS-90 mixes fast and has a working time of approximately 75 minutes, allowing for several applications per batch. It is paintable and provides less waste than standard fire caulk. It s applied with a simple trowel and no special tools are needed. Reference The Purple Book for assemblies. VERSATILE It bonds with gypsum board, concrete, metals, wood and cable jacketing without the need for primer. It s also self-bonding, which makes it easy to repair. A tight seal even helps control sound. SPECIALLY FORMULATED Red tint makes it easy for fire marshals to identify. Bags can be stored dry for up to 12 months. Meets ASTM and UL fire test requirements. Technical Data PHYSICAL PROPERTIES Bag Size: Color: Storage: Shelf Life: Working Time: Setting Time: Limitations Do not mix with other material.

76 ProForm brand Quick SetTM Setting Compound /NGC

77 ProForm brand Quick Set TM Joint Compound Description ProForm brand Quick Set TM and Quick Set TM Lite Setting Compounds are quick setting (hardening) type compounds that are mold resistant and are not affected by humidity once they have set and dried. Developed to reduce joint deformities such as ridging and beading and provide shortened joint finishing time. Features/Benefits m Quick and easy mixing and sanding m Enhanced mold protection m Offers consistent work/set time m Excellent for all phases of finishing m Dries white m Permits same day finishing m GREENGUARD Children & Schools SM Certified for indoor air quality Mixing Mix no more compound than can be applied in the designated set time. Place the amount of water recommended on the compound packaging in a clean 5-gallon pail. A plastic container is recommended because of its ease in cleaning between batches. Add the compound gradually to room temperature clean, drinkable water. Mix the compound until it is free of lumps. Allow to stand (soak) for one minute, then remix until consistency is smooth and uniform. If a thinner or thicker mix is desired, add water or powder sparingly. When power mixing is used, the motor speed should not exceed 600 RPM since high speed and prolonged mixing will shorten the working time of the product. Estimated Working Times One of the most crucial things for selecting the proper ProForm Quick Set Setting Compound is matching its working time and setting time ranges to the project. It should be noted that working time and setting time are not the same. Working Time refers to the period during which the product is usable for application. At the end of this time, the material begins to stiffen and can no longer be spread easily. Working time should correspond to the required time for actual application. WORKING & SETTING TIME COMPARISON Stamped Working Time Set Time Product Time Minutes Minutes This table illustrates the difference between working and setting times. PACKAGING, MIXING & COVERAGE Quick Set Quick Set Lite Package Size 25 lb. (11.3 kg) bags 18 lb. (8.2 kg) bags Approx lbs./1,000 sq. ft lbs./1,000 sq. ft.

Setting Time refers to the time after which the applied product will become adequately hardened so that another layer can be applied. For manufactured or modular builders, the setting time should match your timetable for moving a floor along the line. Limitations m Not to be applied over moist surfaces or surfaces subject to direct moisture. m Do not mix with any other material. Use only clean, drinkable water. m Mixing equipment and tools must be thoroughly cleaned between batches. m Each fresh batch of compound must be kept free of previous batches; otherwise the working time will be shortened. m High-speed mixing or excessive mixing will shorten the working time. m Do not add water or remix after compound begins to thicken and harden. m Cleanup difficulties with automatic taping tools may occur when using a setting-type compound. m Close opened bag as tight as possible or setting time may be affected. m Storage life in high humidity areas is 6 months; other areas up to 12 months maximum. m In cold weather, temperatures within the building should be maintained at a minimum 50 F (10 C), both day and night, during joint finishing. Adequate ventilation should be provided to eliminate excess moisture. Frequently Asked Questions 1) Why is the product lumpy after mixing? m Water was added to the product, rather than the compound being added to the water. m ProForm Quick Set was not allowed to soak (for approximately one minute) after initial mix before remixing was initiated. 2) Why is the product setting much faster than the advertised range? m Dirty mixing water and/or application tools. m Excessive mixing of the compound. m Foreign material (accidentally or deliberately) added to the mixture. 3) Why is the product setting much slower than the advertised range? m Too much water was used. m Impure water source (dissolved organics in the water generally retard the set time). m Foreign material (accidentally or deliberately) added to the mixture. m Water too cold. 4) Why does the product display weak strength? m Too much water was used. m Foreign material (accidentally or deliberately) added to the mixture.
