I'm guessing that since this 'Sound-Board' stuff is very light weight & crumbles & flakes so easily that it go's on the studs 1st, then the sheet rock over that?
But my original walls to my home studio was not completed to the ceiling. They left it about a foot from the ceiling with just an opening for a doorway. The existing shorter walls are already sheetrocked. I've framed in the rest of the walls to the ceiling now & put in a heavy solid wood door. But to make the newer top of the walls & the older lower wall 'even' or the 'same' as the rest I figure I should just sheetrock the new upper part. I've thought about it, and thought what's the point of just 'Sound-Boarding the upper section only, and the to boot, the upper/lower sections will be different!
Ok, so I have all this Sound-Board..for which I have had ideas several possible uses besides the newer up section of the walls... Use it to cover my windows (I have my other thread here about treating the windows), use it for a vocal sound-booth that I intend to build.
Another thing...Can I paint or coat this 'Sound-Board' stuff? I mean if I fasten it over my windows it will flake & shed all over the place...and 'homey' don't like dat! So maybe I should use a Rubber Spray to coat it??? Is this ok?
Also if I use it for a make-shift semi-temp sound/vocal booth, I'll have light weight & coated panels that I can piece together when I need to have any isolation - Needed only from time to time when doing vocals, or whatever...
Btw, I'm not trying to make my home studio 'literally' sound proof, just help reduce sound from both sides.
