Lmao did you just google drywall compound and adhesive and link one that promotes “good adhesion”?

Do you fucking think that means it’s an adhesive?

Linked without comment too because you’re not even sure of the point you’re trying to make with the link.

Holy shit lmao, people on Reddit will try ANYTHING to be right about something they’d never heard of before googling it.

Never build anything.

I honestly don’t give a fuck what you’re trying to do here.

You’re trying to convince yourself that the objectively wrong thing you said is correct. In front of people telling you that you are full of shit.

Just shut the fuck up and go away.

I think you are confusing adhesion and adhesives. Taping compounds do not have any form of adhesive added. They are just a bit different mixture, but no adhesive.

The different mixture causes better wetting/adhesion to paper tape. But the improved adhesion is not due to adhesive compounds being specially added. Otherwise it would be roughly impossible to sand.

Check the MSDS:

The main difference is in limestone amounts.

bro 1. that has no adhesive of any kind in it.

2 its called "mud" because in reality ready mix joint compound is literally a fine white mud. it is a mixture of water and particles that can harden by drying but can be softened again by water. aka literally white mud.
