Sheets of it are screwed (or nailed, by amateurs) to the studs, the seams are then taped over and a compound called 'mud' is applied, sanded and applied again, sanded again.

If you get dry wall wet is it dry wall or wet wall?

The old labor intensive way of putting up walls had wet plaster attached to and around slats of wood (called lathing) where it dried into a wall. The current technology uses large panels made of dry plaster like material called Dry Wall attached to wall studs by nail, screw or glue. Another name for Dry Wall is SheetRock. It should be kept dry. Once it gets wet, it loses its integrity and it is no longer viable. It is no longer Dry Wall or Wet Wall but it is Garbage. Dry wall would technically be wet wall anyways considering how you need liquid to be able to make it. BTW, I am an 8th grader from 2017-2018 and will be in high school from2018-2019.
