| JOINT DEPRESSION
|
|
Defect in the application of drywall, which causes an indentation in the joint between the panels and is caused by either too much sanding of the joint or two little or too thin compound was used. Sanding and application of additional joint compound is required to repair this flaw. |
| JOINT DESIGN
|
|
The dimensions and configuration of a weld joint. |
| JOINT DISCOLORATION
|
|
Drywall defect caused by moisture trapped in the joint prior to sealing or from the use of poor quality paint or painting when humid, which turns the joint color darker or lighter than the balance of the wall. |
| JOINT EFFICIENCY FACTOR
|
|
Measure of the strength of a weld joint as compared to the base metal strength by using numbers one or less. A factor of one indicates that the weld and the base metal are equal in strength. Less than one indicates that the strength of the weld is lesser than the base metal. |
| JOINT FILLER
|
|
Expansion joints in concrete structures are filled with plastic material or preformed cork. |
| JOINT LIABILITY
|
|
Two or more people sharing the responsibility of fulfilling the terms of a debt. |
| JOINT NOTE
|
|
More than one maker on a note where if one or more of the makers default on the note, all of the makers are sued jointly, rather than just one or all, to make restitution. |
| JOINT OWNERSHIP
|
|
Ownership of real estate with two or more individuals having equal ownership with, upon the death of one owner, the property is transferred to the survivor. |
| JOINT PENETRATION
|
|
Depth of the penetration of the weld metal as measured from the surface of the base metal. |
| JOINT PHOTOGRAPHING
|
|
Defect in drywall application where the joint tape or the shadow of the joint tape shows through the wallboard. High humidity which delays the drying of the second and third coats, dry tape having absorbed too much moisture from the joint compound and excess joint compound left under the joint tape are some of the causes of this condition. Also called tape photographing, this condition can be corrected by sanding the compound covering the tape, feathering it out into the drywall surface, and then covering it with thin coats of joint compound. |
