I have been doing drywall hanging and finishing (commercial) for several years but just recently heard the phrase "pointing" or "pointing up". Can someone tell me what this means?
not a drywaller here, but thats how I've understood it too...kinda like "punching out" a punch list.Mudd Dogg said:Depends on in what context it was used, I would guess. I've heard it used as in the meaning of touching up, pock marks, scratches, etc. any bad spots that will be seen after painting for slick finish. But most commonly heard as "touching up"
Me too, its a masonry term, hence my confusion.Teetorbilt said:I have always heard of 'pointing' in brick and stone. New to me in drywall, might be a regional term.
Same in my area...around here it means making sheetrock touchups after the first color coat is applied. you can see imperfections better with a little color on the walls.....

if this was facebook I would hit "like":thumbsup:touch up is what weve always called it. If you are touching up after color is on we call that a Backcharge
