Nontoxic Drywall Mud
May 9, 2012 by Debra Lynn Dadd
Question from Angelique
I need a nontoxic drywall mud, quick! Someone had told me the Kerabond would be a good choice, but after mixing a little I realized that it's a sandy grout, ONLY for use with tiles. (By the way, it's totally safe for me! Now I want to do a tile project!) Anyway, some workmen used Murco here a few years ago, but I had a bad experience with that. Any suggestions? This time I'm doing the mudding myself (it's just covering a few seams.)
Debra's Answer
The most-recommended least-toxic joint compound for years has been Murco, I don't know of another one.
Just looked up Murco to give you a link, but the company website was down. Don't know if it's temporary or permanent. www.murcowall.com
