Q: Should you skim coat plaster?

• <div><p>You can skim coat plaster, but it&rsquo;s better to repair the plaster itself. A skim coat is a thin coat of drywall joint compound spread over the surface of a wall. The result is a flat finish that looks pleasing, but part of the appeal of plaster is its imperfections and aesthetic. Skim coating is best when limited to drywall applications. </p></div>

Q: What is standard drywall thickness?

• <div><p>Most drywall used for interior walls of homes is <b>1/2-inch thick</b>. This size strikes a balance of being easy to handle and hang while being thick enough for the durability needed on interior wall applications. </p></div>

Q: Can you put drywall directly on ceiling joists?

• <div><p>Drywall can be installed directly on ceiling joists. In fact, this method is common in many construction projects. Drywall sheets are attached to the joists using screws, ensuring a secure and stable installation. Before attaching the drywall, it's important to mark the joist locations on the ceiling, allowing for accurate screw placement. Proper spacing between screws and careful taping and mudding of joints are crucial to creating a smooth and flawless ceiling surface. If the joists are in good condition and level, installing drywall directly on them is a practical and efficient approach.</p></div>

Q: Is it better to screw or glue drywall?

• <div><p>Whether it&rsquo;s better to screw or glue drywall depends on your specific budget and project timeline. Professional drywall installers are more likely to use screws and fasteners than adhesives, but it takes longer. But if you are DIYing your drywall installation, glue is a perfectly fine choice if you&rsquo;re willing to pay extra for adhesive.</p></div>

Q: Can drywall hold a 50-pound TV?

• <div><p>Yes, drywall can hold a 50-pound TV. However, when <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-mount-tv.htm">mounting a TV</a>, you&rsquo;ll either need to attach it to wall studs or use drywall anchors. If you use anchors, make sure to buy a type that can hold at least 50 pounds. Molly bolts, threaded anchors, and toggle bolts are all good options. For extra support, you can also install a wall mounting plate with the anchors. </p></div>
