Q: What are two common mistakes made during drywalling?

• <div><p>Two of the biggest mistakes with drywalling are not measuring (and therefore buying the wrong amount of drywall) and trying to install drywall yourself. A <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-a-sheet-of-drywall-weigh.htm">sheet of drywall can weigh</a> around 50 pounds, so it can be difficult to install without a pro or at least some experienced friends willing to help with a DIY installation. It can also get expensive if you don&rsquo;t measure at least twice before buying the drywall sheets. </p></div>

Q: How long do you have to leave drywall mud before sanding?

• <div><p>Drywall mud should be left to dry for at least 24 hours before sanding, though drying time depends on the thickness of the application, humidity, and room temperature. Thicker layers or projects done in high humidity may require 48 hours or more of drying time. You&rsquo;ll know the mud is ready when it feels completely dry and appears light in color throughout. Sanding too early can cause smudging or gouges, so patience is key for a smooth, professional-looking finish.</p></div>

Q: Is a drywall ceiling or drop ceiling more affordable?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-cost-install-drywall.htm">Installing drywall will cost</a> between <b>$1.50 and $3 per square foot</b> for materials, labor, and finishing, which is quite a bit lower than the average of <b>$9 to $13 per square foot</b> for a drop-tile ceiling. So, while drop ceilings allow more design flexibility, provide easy access to utility lines above them, and are often much easier and less expensive to repair, they do cost more upfront. You can minimize your drop ceiling cost by opting for more affordable fiberboard panels, although some homeowners don&rsquo;t like the look of this material.</p></div>

Q: Does drywall need to be glued to the ceiling?

• <div><p>Drywall does not necessarily need to be glued to the ceiling, especially when it is properly screwed or nailed into place. Drywall is typically attached to the ceiling joists using screws or nails, ensuring a secure and stable <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/drywall-installation.htm">drywall installation</a>. </p><p>However, in certain situations where additional adhesion is required, construction adhesive can be applied in combination with screws or nails. This is often done for ceilings with specific acoustic or insulation requirements. It's essential to follow local building codes and best practices to determine if adhesive use is necessary for your specific project.</p></div>

Q: What do I do if I don't have a stud finder?

• <div><p>There are a few easy ways to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-find-stud-in-wall.htm">locate a wall stud without a stud finder</a>. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud. </p></div>
