Drywall guru Myron Ferguson of Albany, NY offered tips for remodeling with drywall. Some common DIY mistakes he notes include:
- "Not using enough mudding compound behind tape, causing bubbles. Not letting the mudding compound dry thoroughly between coats, and too thick or too thin fill coat which covers the tape."
- Ferguson also urges DIY homeowners to "get enough help" when putting up drywall. "The sheets are heavy, fragile, and difficult to maneuver," he said.
- Ferguson recommended using full 16-foot sheets of drywall when ever possible and to try to minimize seams.
