No More Ugly Drywall

Eliminating Unsightly Drywall Butt Joints with the Rocksplicer

The Rocksplicer from Wilco Drywall Tools Inc. is the ultimate answer to ugly drywall butt joints. Unsightly butt joints used to be accepted as being unavoidable.
Homeowners and builders had to learn to “live with them.” That is quickly changing.

The Old Way

Traditional drywall installation involves attaching the abutting edges of the drywall to a joist or stud, then covering the joint with a mound of tape and mud. You then had to make the mound very wide in an attempt to make it less noticeable.
This “bump” in the surface was once considered unavoidable, but not anymore.

Do you have ugly butt joints?

Place a drywall T-square or yard stick across your drywall butt joint. If it rocks back and forth or you can see light through the outside edges, you know you have a drywall butt joint that’s going to be a problem. It will show up like a large lump on your wall or ceiling.

Problem Solved

You can solve all the problems that bad butt joints cause by using the Rocksplicer, a proven innovation in drywall installation.

Fast Finish

The Rocksplicer is easy to install and provides a recess for the finisher to tape and coat. The result is a 12" wide butt joint that is fast to finish and completely flat every time.

Stronger Drywall

The Rocksplicer is 53" long so that it overlaps and attaches to the adjacent sheets of drywall. This helps to tie the boards together and make them even stronger. The Rocksplicer attaches to the drywall only and not any framing members

Install anywhere

It can be used with any thickness of drywall and is not affected by fiberglass insulation in the cavity. The Rocksplicer can be installed on both walls and ceilings, with metal or wood studs, 12", 16", or 24" on center.

How to install

Simple 4 step instructions on how to install the Rocksplicer in less than 30 seconds.

Cut the board so the butt edge lands between the studs, as close to the center as possible, instead of landing the butt edge on a stud or joist as you’ve always done.
Slide the Rocksplicer behind the board you have just hung. Orient as shown. Screw the edge of the board to the Rocksplicer (1 1/4 in. screws or larger are recommended). Run screws along the entire butt edge, appx. 5” - 6” apart.
Put up the second board as you normally would, and nail/screw the field. Finally, screw the butt edge.
You don’t have to learn any new techniques and the butt joints can be finished the same as factory beveled edges. Finally, drywall butt joints can be finished completely flat and only 12" wide.
