Re: Chinese Drywall Still Not Toxic
Posted by johncodie on 2/27/09
I watched the documentary from the US Gypsum Association as
to how much of all drywall is manufactured. If memory serves
me right most of the gypsum product comes from the same
source from whowever choses to manufacture the product. Sort
of like bricks are made by the same manufacturing methods but
not all clays are the same; but has to have the same physical
properties. Paper and gypsum rolled and dried in sheets cut
to lenght. Most serious mold problems I have seen is from
wet saturated wood products.
