[Greenbuilding] Drywall, tape, and mud

[Jason Holstine]

Hey Ron,

Depending on their sensitivities, might start with:

- GP's paperless drywall (Home Depot, etc carries it)
- If need adhesive, we have Titebond Drywall Adhesive--no solvents, very low
VOCs
- In lieu of a drywall mud, can mud with American Clay earth plaster (a
finishing plaster that could be what they finish some rooms with).
- Seal the new wall with AFM Safecoat New Wallboard Primecoat--a special
primer, almost like yogurt, to seal in offgas in and behind the wall.
- Paint it with American Pride zero-VOC paints or the American Clay
- Timbron trim pieces (moldings, crowns, quarter rounds, closet poles,
etc)--we stock--made with post-consumer recycled plastic, no real offgas,
nailable, paintable with the American Pride

There are a couple zero VOC drywall compounds we've seen but haven't been
impressed with, so don't yet carry or recommend.

I've got a new client who has sensitivity issues that needs some drywall
work done. Anyone have information on drywall boards, tape and mud that
address those with ultra sensitive issues?
