Question from muriel

Do you know of any other product besides MURCO (joint compound for wallboard)? It appears that Murco can only be bought through the company in Texas or other locations in Texas and I am in Florida and I have unexpected work to do asap in my house.

Or does anyone know of any place locally (South Florida) that carries Murco or any other joint compound product that is environmentally safe that is sold in a Home Depot etc?

Also does anyone know of any environmentally safe joint tape and where I can purchase it? Thank you.

Debra’s Answer

My husband and I have always used just the standard powdered joint compound sold by Home Depot and Lowe’s and standard tape. I don’t consider this to be a particularly toxic product, though some people with MCS do react to it.
