Gotta Love 20 minute mud! - Contractor Talk
2008年5月17日 · 20 min mud made me good coin when I started out. It's the #1 most indispensable tool for b.s. jobs. It's the only way you can tape, sand, prime and paint in 2 days. I used to make min. $500/day profit, clocking out by 2 or 3 in time to beat traffic. THANKS 20 MIN MUD:thumbsup:

2010年1月27日 · I have also used 20 min mud mixed with regular mud to speed up a job, it's easier to work with and easier to sand than using straight 20 min. These concoctions are best used for the first coat only, with two coats of just regular mud to finish.
how hard is hot mud - Contractor Talk
2011年5月6日 · As suggested you should get a feel for the stuff before you get too comfortable with it. But once you do you will want it to go faster. My favorite is 5 minute. That and 20 min are my most used. I always strive for no sanding. When using hot mud it becomes dry enough to put more coats on but will not completely cure for hours.

2016年12月15日 · When we have to get a patch done quickly, we use Durabond for the fist coat. Then Easy sand for the rest. I usually get 45 minute mud. Sanding would have to be done the next day. Even with the 45 minute mud, there is some variance in setting times. If we used it all the time, we would probably be better at mixing it to get consistent setting times.

which brand of 20 min hot mix do you all prefer?
2014年2月15日 · Proform 5 & 20 minute for smaller texture repairs. (knockdown, popcorn, and plaster). ProForm does not setup hard and brittle like USG and it loves to be tooled down with a wet sponge and 5" or 6" knife. It all gets done with a single coat. All you have to do it keep lathering the setup mud and tool the lather into the edges and low spots.
