Joint compound and gypsum plaster powder are used in drywall for jointing, skimming and finishing processes before painting.
Drywall And Finishing Surface Materials
While choosing between joint compound and gypsum powder, you have the choice. In fact, you need to decide whether or not you are going to make repairs such as patching holes or filling cracks. Thus, both of them are used for filling joint gaps in the joints of drywall and finishing surface. However, given that joint compound is sold pre-mixed, you will have lots of benefits compared to the gypsum powder.

Uses Of Gypsum Powder
On the other hand, gypsum powder is used by mixing with water. By doing so, it hardens quickly thanks to its composition of cooked and powdered gypsum stone. Therefore, it can be used on brick, briquette, concrete and cement based plaster surfaces.
Besides, this powder is used in various construction applications such as plaster, repair works and drywalls. For instance, it is ideal for embedding tape, skimming, and finishing gypsum board joints, corner profiles, flooring and fasteners.
