Post by redeye »

Ive managed to source acoustic sealant fron screwfix in the UK, but what exactly is the "mud" to seal screw holes seams etc. Is it what we call polyfiller. gyproc do a ready mix tub, is that the same stuff as "mud".
iys about £20 for a 20 ltr tub.

It's just called joint compound. You can buy it ready mixed or in powder form from B&Q/Wickes/Focus DIY/etc.
