How to Use EZ Sand Compound Over Plywood

Easy Sand, often referred to as EZ Sand, is a joint compound for installation of interior gypsum panel drywall or sheetrock panels. Gypsum panels are prefabricated drywall panels that are hung over plywood to form interior walls in interior residential building and remodeling. Applying compound at the joints and junctures provides a seamless look and finish. The amount of Easy Sand compound to mix depends on the amount of drywall and the number of seams.
