Unlike traditional mud which comes pre-mixed, hot mud (or “quick-setting compound”) comes as a powder which you mix with water. The biggest advantage of hot mud is that it can save you time. Once mixed, a chemical reaction occurs which causes the mud to become warm (hence the name “hot mud”) and to harden in much less time than it takes traditional mud to dry. That quick-set process means experienced drywallers can get jobs done more quickly. On the other hand, it also makes hot mud harder to use for beginners. Some hot muds set in a matter of minutes, meaning that if you aren’t an expert, it may become too hard to work with before you finish smoothing it and once it’s hard, sanding it smooth takes a lot more time and effort than sanding traditional mud.
Additionally, you’ll need to work in batches and clean your tools more often – if hot mud hardens on your tools, it can be difficult or impossible to remove, so you need to be much more careful than with traditional mud. You’ll need to be careful about how much mud you mix, too – anything you’ve mixed but don’t use will need to be thrown out. On the other hand, the powder is easy to keep and takes up less space than a comparable amount of traditional mud, so you might want to consider it if you’re doing lots of projects and want to have mud on hand.
Using mesh tape can help somewhat with mold resistance, since it’s harder for mold to grow on the fiberglass material that mesh tape is made of than it is for mold to grow on paper.

How to Apply

Hot mud is compatible with mesh tape, which doesn’t require a bed coat like paper tape. Instead, mesh tape is self-adhesive, so you can apply it directly to the seams and then mud over it with hot mud. As with traditional mud, you want to apply each coat with a wider knife, feathering out each layer of mud to produce a smooth transition back to the drywall panel. You won’t need to wait overnight, though – the hot mud will harden in an hour or two (as indicated on the package, depending on the formula). Once one coat has completely hardened and dried (it will turn white), you can begin the next coat.

Drywall tape serves an important function in the drywall trade. Drywall tape was explicitly created to seal the seams between the sheets of drywall improving the overall integrity of drywall.

Drywall tape is a crucial element of any repair to drywall because it offers the necessary reinforcement and stops the drywall from deteriorating.

Since there are many kinds of drywall on the market, determining the correct type of drywall tape isn’t always straightforward. Picking one randomly from the shelves of your local hardware store is unlikely to produce the desired effect. The following article will discuss the various drywall tape types and their typical applications.
