drywall mud

Seam covering paste

Drywall mud is the putty-like compound used to finish drywall joints and cover screw holes.

Applied in layers with a taping knife, it dries hard and can be sanded smooth before painting.

Also called joint compound.

I need another bucket of mud to finish the seams.
