fire proofing shop

Hi

Any information related to the topic is useful as far as I am concerned.

Dust from cutting cement (wonderboard) type panels would be even worse.

We had to coat some columns with a fire retardant paint about four years ago. Got the stuff from Sherwin-Williams, it was a special order and not cheap. Very heavy bodied paint, rather difficult to work with even for an experienced painter.

Had a guy help me hang, tape and finish th' sheetrock in th' kids room last summer. He never sanded th' mud, instead he used a damp sponge to smooth it prior to paint. He said it doesn't matter how long it's been dried, years even, and it still works. Clean up was a breeze.

I've heard that trick. I tried it and didn't like it. The sponge is not a clean straight edge. It left a lot of marks, but probably OK for a shop wall. A good (pro) taper/finisher does very little sanding. A smooth finish is accomplished with the knife. Tom

This guy's done it for a long time and it shows in th' quality of his work. I wanted a smooth finish and that's what I got... sans sheetrock dust.

You're right, but weren't any of those kinda guys handy at th' time. Seems to happen that way consistently when I'm looking for sheetrock help. Like right now actually.

Yup, just holler 'HELP' while standing next to a pile of rock and all your pals make like cockroaches when the light goes on. BTDT Tom
