Painted sheetrock, or drywall, is not highly porous, but it does have some degree of porosity. The paint creates a barrier that reduces the absorption of moisture and other substances, making it less porous than unpainted drywall. However, if the paint is damaged or worn, the underlying sheetrock can absorb moisture, which may lead to issues like mold or deterioration. Overall, while painted sheetrock offers some protection, it is not entirely impermeable.

Should sheetrock be painted or primed before applying liguid nail?

Sheetrock (or drywall) should generally be primed before applying liquid nail. Priming helps seal the surface, ensuring better adhesion of the liquid nail and preventing it from absorbing moisture from the drywall. Painting after priming can also provide a smoother finish and improve the overall appearance. However, if the goal is to directly adhere materials to the Sheetrock, make sure it’s clean and free of dust or debris.
