JohnGardner, 9 July 2005Guys, A couple of quick questions: (1)Should I plaster or caulk these gaps around my window frame where the new layer of wallboard has run just short. I am thinking…

JohnGardner, 28 August 2005Hi Keith, There are a couple of studios (several infact) on Johns "Studio's Under Construction" link that use this method. Check out "Siliva Productions", "Leftbank" and…
