Look at those joints! This can't be an acceptable installation. Gypsum board is manufactured to minimize joints telegraphing through applied finishes. The specified joint finish must account for the finish that will be applied to the gypsum board and the lighting conditions for the application. Lighting will drastically affect perception of the completed work. Learn what affects the perception and how to specify the finish you expect.

Conspectus' monthly Tech Tips and quarterly News Bulletins are generating discussions that previously occurred off-line, via email, directly with the reader asking the questions or offering additional comments. The recent discussions are too valuable to be limited to single individuals. So we decided to start a blog so we can share these discussions with all our readers.

Each time we release a new publication, we will post a notice and a summary description on this blog. These announcements will allow our readers to post their comments on the publications directly to this blog where all readers will have access to the discussion. This blog will be accessible from links on our publications web page and our publications.

We encourage all our clients and readers to participate. We learn a great deal from everyone that participates. And we want to share what we do learn with the rest of the construction community. Our hope is that through our publications and this discussion forum that everyone can learn from the exchange and ultimately improve the design process and resulting construction.

If you wish to receive notices of our publications, please join our mail list.

We look forward to your participation.
