In this episode of the Build Show Lydia explains the preparation for butt joints in drywall, focusing on removing delaminated paper and loose drywall board to prevent blistering and cracking. The expert emphasizes the importance of proper prep work to ensure a smooth finish and avoid future issues. Additional screws may be needed for support, and easy sand compound can be used for prefilling. Taking the time to properly prep butt joints can save time and prevent problems during the finishing process. The expert's advice is to pay attention to detail and ensure all loose paper is removed before taping and prefilling.
