USG Beadex brand lite ready-mixed joint compounds are formulated to provide performance superior to that of ordinary ready-mixed products. Blended to a creamy, smooth consistency, these formulations give excellent slip and bond and easy workability. They can be used directly from the container and require only minimal mixing, thinning and retempering. Joint finishing is fast, easy and smooth, reducing labor costs and improving appearance and quality of the job. A low-shrinkage, easily applied and sanded product recommended for second and third coats over taping and all-purpose compounds. Bond strength, however, is insufficient for embedding tape.
