IUPAT Drywall Finishers prepare unfinished interior drywall panels for painting by taping and finishing joints and imperfections. Drywall consists of a thin layer of gypsum between two layers of heavy paper; it is used on walls and ceilings in most buildings today. Drywall Finishers spread joint compound into and along each side of the joint between two hung drywall panels and use a paper tape to cover the seams.
