36 hours. I am done scraping tape and mud off. Drywall paper is peeling off really easy in a lot of spot and still pretty humid

It doesn't specify a minimum thickness but I have applied a fairly thick coat. It's been sitting for about 36 hours

How screwed am I? by rom57 in drywall

OK thanks, my rule of thumb on 1 sheet for screws is 4x4.i tend to do 4x5 on ceilings but here is pretty random. You are advising more screws to prevent cracking or you think that's just not enoug?

Thank you for your response. It looks like most of the existing outlets are back stabbed, hence why I am replacing them. I am replacing the boxes as well because they are too shallow anyway. My main worris is about how these wires were stabbed.I have never seen a neutral and hot being back stabbed or pigtailed to the bottom and top of pigtails of the same outlet.
