1. This ASTM test may not accurately represent the mold performance of building materials in actual use. Given unsuitable project

conditions during storage, installation or after completion, any building material can be overwhelmed by mold. To manage the

growth of mold, the best and most cost-effective strategy is to protect building products from water exposure during storage and

installation and after completion of the building. This can be accomplished by using good design and construction practices.

2. When applying a skim coat, use only USG Sheetrock® Brand All Purpose Joint Compound – DO NOT use Lightweight All

Purpose (PLUS 3™) or Midweight™ joint compounds on Glass-Mat panels.
