\\n

\\xa0

\\n

First you\\u2019ll have to choose which type of joint compound you want.

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

Pre-mixed and setting-type joint compound are two common options.

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

Pre-mixed mud takes a bit longer to setup.\\xa0

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

Setting-type joint compound comes in 20 minute, 45 minute, and 90 minute varieties.

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

This means the mud will setup in about 20, 45, or 90 minutes.

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

The key to getting great drywall corners is to stagger the mudding process.

\\n
