Basic Drywall Hanging Information
Install ceilings first, then the walls. Not only is it nice to get the toughest part done first, but the edges of the boards on the walls will help support those on top. It's important to know what will be installed above the ceiling. If it's unsupported insulation, the drywall may sag because of the weight. Other ceiling sagging problems are caused by the condensation of water within drywall. The simple rule: Keep it dry.
Always hang the top sheet first when you're hanging horizontally. Come down from the ceiling four feet and simply nail a board onto the wall. You can set your sheet up on that board, so you don't have to try to hold it while you put your nails or screws in.
For ceiling repairs in drywall it's best to always have some kind of backing or framing to insure a good drywall repair.
Like many other materials, drywall expands as temperature rises. For example, 100 linear feet of drywall will expand one half-inch if it's installed at 28F and the temperature rises to 72F.
It's important, therefore, to install it at comfortable working temperatures -- above 55F -- to minimize expansion. You'll see the same amount of expansion when relative humidity changes from 13 percent to 90 percent.

When setting the patch make sure that joint compound is coming out of all the face material holes. Stick pins can help to hold the patch in place while your wiping it down
Don't be afraid of wiping too hard. Our face material is made from a tough composite and is strong enough not to be bothered by any amount of over wiping or sanding.
Because our face material is less than 1/16 inch thick, you'll only need to apply very thin coats of joint compound to achieve good results for your drywall repair.
When throughly dry, sand and recoat with joint compound. When dry, run your hand across the entire repair. Recoat and sand only if you feel it's necessary.
Once marked, use a drywall saw or utility knife to cut the circle out. Cut the circle out of the wall. Be sure to stay on the outside of the line
Double check your fit by placing the plug into the hole before you apply joint compound. One inch of movement between the drywall repair plug and hole is acceptable using DWC Drywall Repair Plugs..
Step 3: When patch is set apply a thin coat of joint compound. Try to keep your work as smooth as possible to cut down on sanding.
Step 2: Load the plug with joint compound as shown and place in hole. Wipe patch down until it's flush and tight with the wall.
Step 1: Resize the plug or use the package holder template to mark the damaged area of the drywall you need removed for repair.
The secret to hanging drywall is to hang the ceilings first!
