I took my left over drywall and cut it into 12-15.5 inch sheets and glued it inside the wall (interior walls) between the studs I wanted to be more sound proof. I did it in the bathroom and my bedroom. Obviously you have to do it after one side is done and before you put the final sheets on the other side. You can do it to outside walls but you will limit insulation space and would have to glue it to the plywood or particle board.

Can I use leftover new drywall primer to prime previously painted walls?
Yes, you can use it....but what are you trying to do? The drywall primer is specifically designed to seal the drywall and make the surface uniform. You will not get any benefit from using it on top of a finish coat except for using it as a base coat for changing colors.

How many sheets of drywall are in a pallet?
Drywall is too heavy and large to put on pallets unless you're using smaller length drywall sheets less than 5 feet, which is unheard of unless they're scraps of construction trash or leftover wall board. Drywall in wholesale amounts are delivered by special heavy duty crane/boom trucks that take specialized skilled delivery for upstairs, handcarrying, and are used with special drywall carts that carry 14-17 separate sheets of drywall. Drywall usually come in "bundles" of 2 sheets per bundle. "Bundles" are held together with a pull strip cardboard type tab. Due to the brittleness and heavy weight of drywall, it's very easy to crack or break drywall in half by accident. bundles of weight, thickness, length, and width vary by type of drywall and purpose. I only know because I delivered all the drywall by a boom/crane truck, dolley, and bare hands. JB
