a lil experiment....fingers crossed

[Guest guest]

Hi all...wanted to tell ya'll about a lil something I have been

trying. I've been running my dehumidifier non stop and thought hmmm,

what else can I do to dry it up? Okay, so I've been filling every

hole,crack, you name it, I fill it with caulk or putty(sheetrock mud).

Anyways, I read the ingredients on the dry sheetrock joint

compound...its plaster of paris, limestone or dolomite,expanded

perlite, mica,vinyl alcohol polymer, and attapulgite. Okay, so you are

DEFINITELY not supposed to breathe it. I noticed how it dries my hands

out so much when I sand it after I patch the wall so I decided to put

some in my shaker, half compound & half borax. I pulled up the only

carpet we have left(in the living room) and sprinkled it between the

carpet and padding. I've also been sprinkling it around my house like

in the corners, window sills, door jambs(to the outside), on the porch

and steps, and in the bathroom after all our showers. It's kinda

heavy so I just sweep it around on the floor and sweep it up the next

day. THE DIFFERENCE IS AMAZING. Just wanted to let ya'll know what is

working for me. The lil' you know whats hate to be dried out! Thanks

everyone
