CertainTeed Green_Glue_Compound - Manual

INSTALLING GREEN GLUE IS FAST
• No measuring or troweling
• Apply with a standard (32-oz.) quart-size caulk gun
• Application time is about 20-30 seconds per tube
• Complete coverage is not necessary to obtain excellent results
• Green Glue dispenses with very little effort
• Green Glue will not flow off the board during installation
STEP 1
Hang the first layer of drywall according to local building code requirements.
After hanging the first layer of drywall, it is recommended that you seal the seams
between sheets. This can be done with either acoustical sealant or drywall mud.
If using acoustical sealant, take care not to use a bead so large that it protrudes
beyond the face of the drywall, preventing the second layer from sitting flat. If
speed is an issue, you can omit this step and seal the perimeter after the last sheet
of drywall is installed.
STEP 2
Cut the end of the tube as shown in top left image. Screw on separate nozzle and
cut end leaving an opening of 3/8” or more.
STEP 3
Apply Green Glue to the back of the second sheet on a clean, flat surface. Placing
the drywall on saw horses will help prevent the board from getting damaged or
dirty from laying it on the floor. Apply the glue in large beads in a random pattern
across the entire board. Leave a 2-3” border free of Green Glue around the edge of
the board. This will allow for better handling of the board. Use 1-2 tubes per 4’x8’
sheet. One tube gives about 70% of the acoustical benefit of two tubes.
STEP 4
After applying Green Glue to the back of the second layer, raise the board into
position, press the board against the wall or ceiling, and fasten in place using
appropriate screws. The Green Glue will squeeze into a thin layer (about 0.5 mm).
The second layer must be hung and screwed within 15 minutes to prevent Green
Glue from skinning over before it is in place. Typical screw spacing is 16” o.c.
(on center) for walls and 12” o.c. for ceilings, but be sure to follow all appropriate
local building codes regarding screw type and spacing. Use our Green Glue
Noiseproofing Sealant to seal cracks and seams. Pay special attention to the crack
where the drywall meets the floor to ensure it doesn’t get taped or mudded.
