Drywall
Drywall has several common names, such as gypsum board and sheetrock. It is mainly used in the construction of walls, but also has other uses. A plaster is made of gypsum, poured flat and smooth, and then wrapped in paper. The pieces are joined with strips of paper, and cemented down with a compound known as "mud." After the mud is dry, it is sanded and the wall is finished with paint, texture, wallpaper, or a variety of other creative means.

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.
