	Drywall - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Drywall (also called wallboard, gypsum board, and plasterboard) is a building material consisting of gypsum formed into a flat sheet and sandwiched between two pieces of heavy paper.
		Drywall is cut to size, using a large T Square, by scoring the paper on the front side (usually white) with a utility knife, breaking the sheet along the cut, scoring the paper backing, and finally breaking the sheet in the opposite direction.
		The tapered drywall boards are used to countersink the tape in taped jointing whereas the tape in veneer plastering is buried beneath a level surface.
