Are you sick of clients dictating what materials? " It's a Knauf/BG spec so you must use thier taping materials"

I have the defance you require.

The GPDA has three members BG, Knauf & Lafarge so makes it hard for any of them argue

Sshhh remeber this is the building trades biggest secret lets keep it discreet

A tapingandjointing.com hot topic.
Can anyone else can gain access to this exclusive group?

[kilwinkie]

They are open to new members I believe but they don't make it easy.

I have heard that metal stud manufacturers, distributors and even taping material manufacturers have tried. with no success

Gpda wont make any difference. maybe they have clout with the big companys who like to meet in dark rooms and grease each other palms but not with with smaller white van man contrctors like me, .are they a self appointed police force of plasterboard products and who gave tehm that right because thats only a sheet of paper that says so? can i say that? oops i just did
. havent heard of gpda and i use what materials i want to use and whats best for the job.

Knauf are one of the companies named in the toxic drywall stories in Florida. Better watch they don't fall too hard off that high horse.
