Abstract
An improved drywall finishing system is comprised of a container, a powdered compound and an applicator, and several methods of applying the compound to a drywall surface via the applicator. The first method of the system involves applying the compound to a drywall surface via the applicator to detect rough, un-sanded, or improperly sanded areas that can then be re-sanded as needed. Further, the second method of the system involves applying the compound to a drywall surface wherein the powder adheres to any high spots, low spots, or imperfections in the surface, wherein said spots can be re-sanded as needed.
Claims17
A drywall finishing system comprising:
- a powdered compound;
- an applicator for receiving the powdered compound and applying the powdered compound onto a drywall surface;
- wherein the powdered compound consists of a calcium carbonate, a crystalline silica, a carbon black, a quartz and a ground limestone;
- and
- further wherein the calcium carbonate comprises between 95-97% of the powdered compound by weight.
A drywall finishing system comprising:
- a container having an interior space and a lid, wherein the container is moisture resistant;
- a powdered compound stored in the interior space;
- an applicator attached to an underside of the lid for receiving the powdered compound and applying the powdered compound onto a drywall seam between adjacent sheets of drywall;
- and
- further wherein the powdered compound comprises a calcium carbonate, a crystalline silica, a carbon black, a quartz and a ground limestone.
A method of finishing a drywall seam, the method comprising the steps of:
- applying a powdered compound to the drywall seam, wherein the powdered compound is in a powdered form and is comprised of a color;
- wherein the powdered compound is comprised of a calcium carbonate, a crystalline silica, a carbon black, and a quartz;
- wherein the calcium carbonate comprises between 95-97% of the powdered compound by weight;
- further wherein the powdered compound is comprised of a balance of ground limestone;
- identifying a flaw in the drywall seam using the color of the powdered compound;
- and
- correcting said flaw by sanding said flaw or applying a joint compound thereto.
