The Tools I Use to Finish the Drywall in My Basement

I describe each of the tools and materials that I use to finish the drywall in my basement. This includes the knives, hawk, pan, sanding sponges and hand-sander as well as the joint compounds I use and are available - both the drying and setting types (aka quick-set or hot mud).

I happen to use the compounds offered by USG Sheetrock - in particular their All-Purpose Joint Compound and their Easy Sand 45.
