In the same way that you can smell paint while you are painting a room, you will be able to smell Green Glue as you are applying it.

Cold temperatures or high humidity will slow drying. Smell will not linger on furniture, clothing or carpeting. Like paint, once dry, the smell will fade. Keep the spent tubes in a plastic bag and remove them regularly. After hanging the first layer of drywall, it is recommended that you seal the seams between sheets.

This can be done with either caulk or drywall mud. If using caulk, take care not to use a bead so large that it protrudes outside the plane of the drywall, preventing the second layer from sitting flat below. If speed is an issue, you can omit this step and seal the perimeter after the last sheet of drywall is installed. Correct — The caulking bead applied to the drywall seam is below the plane of the wall.

Incorrect — The caulking extends beyond the plane of the wall. This will prevent the next layer of drywall from contacting the first layer lowering your performance. If using drywall mud, fill the seam and the indentation caused by the tapered edge of the drywall. A perfect finish is not essential, so a single broad swipe with the drywall knife should do. If speed is an issue, you can omit this step.

Just hang the first layer, and move to the second layer. Place the tube in a standard 28 ounces caulk gun to prepare for installation. With the first layer of drywall already installed, as per local building codes, apply Green Glue Noiseproofing Compound to the back of the second layer drywall by pulling the trigger to dispense the product from the tube. Leave a 2 to 3 inch border around the panel to allow for handling. For best performance it is recommended that you use two tubes of compound on each 4x8 foot drywall panel.

Once the first tube is empty, discard the cartridge and replace with the prepared second tube and dispense onto the panel. Finishing or mudding the first layer of drywall is not necessary if you stagger the second layer of drywall to cover any seams recommended method. Within 15 minutes of applying Green Glue to drywall, fasten the panel to the first layer of drywall, following local building codes. Continue with this process until you have applied Green Glue to all desired drywall panels. Green Glue products are available for purchase through an extensive network of certified distributors.
