I fucking hate densglass bro. I’ve unfortunately hung miles of the crap. Good luck!
If cutting/hanging shitloads of sheets, dont forget to talcum powder up the forearms and tape your rock knife thumb.

I didnt know about that stuff back when i used to rock allot. Shit would’ve came in handy when cutting and stuffing thermafiber overhead too. Or even for insulating.
Cool.

To seal the pores in my skin and hopefully prevent some of the itching.

Helps prevent the itching and irritation that comes from cutting and rasping that shitty ass fiberglass drywall.

Keeps fiberglass fibers from sticking to skin, less chance of them getting imbedded.

@Aeroknow I got my ear buds in jamming to Anthax and Slayer , throwing this rock up like a boss.... tonight I'll be one sore old bastard curled up to a couple of fatties...... and the wife too.
Have you ever finished densglass, I've only installed outside, but this is inside and I have a skim it to a smooth finish.

Nope. Never even fire-taped it.
We would usually only hang that shit and then stick foam to it, or some other company would come along and put some kind of exterior over it.

the only commercial drywall job i ever did i got because i know how to make stained glass.....
it was in a hospital, where they had to rip out their whole "radiation" area, and rebuild it all with Nelco lead lined drywall. that shit was fucking heavy. 1/2 drywall with a 1/16th inch of lead glued to one side. you have to nail lead battens to all the studs before you put it up, there can't be any gaps between the boards. my friend asked me to help him since i routinely worked with lead....which actually has absolutely fuck all to do with this kind of work, but he paid me 3k for a months work, and we fucked off half the time......and still finished 2 days early
that shit would eat drywall knives.....

Nice!
Yeah i’ve framed a few rad rooms, walls and suspended ceilings, and hung that lead backed board. Cool stuff.
I worked a few yrs between 2 hospitals. Everything is overkill, and shit you’ll never do on most other jobs.
Coolest shit i’ve seen hung on a hospital job was their pharmacy. I framed it but the rockers hung bullet board. One of the shitrockers took a sheet home and shot at it with his rifle. It only broke when shot near the edge.
