| JOINT
|
|
Combined action of two or more people who are either for or against something. Alternately, used to indicate a common property ownership interest in real estate. Indicates a shared liability in terms of a contractual relationship. |
| JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY
|
|
Situation wherein each borrower, on the same note, is held fully liable for the entire amount of the debt, not just a portion. The creditor may demand full repayment from any individual. |
| JOINT CEMENT
|
|
Cement used for dry wall construction; also used as a bedding compound for joint tape and as a filler for nail holes. |
| JOINT CLEARANCE
|
|
Gap between surfaces to be joined by welding, where the gap will help ensure that the weld filler penetrates to the needed depth in the base metal. |
| JOINT COMPOUND
|
|
A wet gypsum material applied to drywall joints. |
| JOINT COMPOUND
|
|
Used for finishing drywall seams and corners. |
| JOINT COMPOUND, ALL-PURPOSE
|
|
Drywall joint and topping compound combination that has many of the qualities of smooth spreading topping compound but having greater adhesive ability. Used for covering joints and fasteners or for embedding tape, it comes premixed or packaged in a dry powder form, which is to be mixed with water. |
| JOINT COMPOUND, DEBONDING
|
|
Defect in the installation of drywall, which causes the joint compound to lose its bond with the tape or the drywall. Foreign substances, such as dirt or improper mixing of the compound or old compound, cause this problem, which may be corrected by removal of the loose tape and a portion of the dried compound. Then, a new application may be done without having the repaired section raised higher than the balance. |
| JOINT COMPOUND, TOPPING
|
|
Finely grained compound which is usable for second and third coats over standard drywall joint compound because it spreads smoothly and sands better than standard compounds which makes it good for covering joint and fastener heads. It does not, however, have the necessary adhesive qualities to make it usable for embedding tape. |
| JOINT CRACKS
|
|
Defect in the application of drywall causing cracks to appear in the joints between the panels. Center cracks, running along the center of the joint, occur from building settlement (which would not be an application defect) or applying layers of joint compound too thickly. The cracks that form along the edges of a joint occur when joint compound is applied too thickly or when the compound dries too quickly. The drying process can be slowed down by rolling a wet roller along the joints to keep it moist. For repair, the tape and compound must be removed and replaced. |
