Questions on using resilient channel

These questions should be easy, but I haven't found answers. 1: Between the panels, do you tape and mud as usual, or is something more flexible needed? 2: Bottom edge of lowest panels: I've read one set of instructions that said to have the panels rest on a layer of neoprene. The drywall contractor said something like "take a 3" wide piece of drywall and nail it to the studs. Then attach the bottom of the panel to that." I thought that would have shorted out the RC, but he said no. I might have misunderstood him. I saw a similar set of instructions here: http://www.handymanclub.com/Projects/Pr ... x?id=21788 So how do you do the bottom edge? 3: How to install RC on the top edge of the panels if you have a triangular wall, e.g. you have a wall with a sloped ceiling?

What the page you read was referring to is filling the void with a 3 inch piece of rock in the "kick space" at the bottom of the framed wall in a bathroom. It isn't required in your application.
