From screw depressions to softening cores and bonding failures, Lydia explains why controlling temperature, wind, and moisture is essential for a flawless finish. Drawing insights from USG’s white paper Evaluating Job Site Environmental Conditions, she breaks down how both high humidity and extreme dryness can cause major issues — and shares practical tips for keeping your materials, mud, and job sites in optimal shape all summer long.
