        "text": "Bathroom drywall installation requires moisture-resistant joint compound or setting-type compounds rather than standard lightweight all-purpose mud for foundational coats. Setting-type compound (hot mud) hardens through chemical reaction rather than evaporation, providing a denser, moisture-resilient bond that resists high humidity. All joints should be taped using fiberglass mesh tape or mold-resistant paper tape embedded firmly to prevent bubbling. A final coat of moisture-resistant primer must seal the entire surface before applying bathroom-grade paint formulated with antimicrobial additives to protect the paper face.",
