    Once the drywall has been established on the central skeleton of your dwelling, the seams between the wallboards should be patched with junction compound. Also renowned as "mud" amidst homebuilders and contractors, junction aggregate presents an air- and water-tight close between the freshly established drywall, producing it an integral part of dwelling insulation and weatherproofing. Mud can furthermore be utilised to fix apertures, both little and large, or to add a textured gaze to a glossy sheet of drywall.
   
   1. Refer to the blending directions on the back of your canister of junction compound. Most goods reach ready-mixed, but some should be methodically blended with a little allowance of water to double-check correct adhesion to the drywall.
   
   2. Apply junction aggregate up and down the extent of the seam. Use a bountiful allowance of aggregate to double-check that it completely loads up the crevice.
   
   3. Drag the cutting-edge of your junction blade along the seam to load in the compound. Scrape the aggregate glossy by angling the cutting-edge contrary to the seam and going it down the extent of the seam.
   
   4. Continue the overhead steps for each seam needing sealing. Conserve aggregate by scraping any unused "mud" back into the container.
   
   5. Let the aggregate therapy for not less than 24 hours, or for the time proposed on the container's label.
   
   6. Wrap a sheet of drywall-specific sandpaper round a sanding impede and glossy away any imperfections in the dehydrated compound.
