Advantages of using Green Glue Compound by the bucket instead of by the tube

• Lower cost per square foot. Buckets cost about .15 cents per square foot less than Green Glue Compound from tubes. The difference in price is minimal in small jobs, but can equal hundreds of dollars in savings for jobs that require multiple buckets. The cost of shipping is also less with buckets because roughly half as many boxes are shipped to equal the amount of square footage in each tube.
• If applied with our Green Glue Dispensing Gun, then loading the Green Glue Compound is as simple as pulling back on a lever. Load time of the dispensing gun is roughly 4 seconds compared to about 45 seconds to open an individual tube.
• Individual tubes of Green Glue Compound can be purchased so you do not have to buy more product than you need.
• Less waste on the job site. A job that requires only 3 five gallon buckets of Green Glue Compound would require almost 70 individual tubes. This could be an issue depending on the job.
• If you are applying Green Glue Compound to a sub-floor and you are familiar with using a notched trowel then installation will be much quicker than using caulking tubes.

• Most purchases of Green Glue Compound in bulk buckets requires the use of our Green Glue Dispensing Gun. It is very difficult to trowel Green Glue Compound if you are not familiar with using a trowel. Even if you are familiar with a trowel, applying using a trowel can lead to more mess and using too little or too much Green Glue Compound.
• You may end up having to purchase more Green Glue Compound than your job requires. This can be reduced by supplementing with individual tubes of Green Glue Compound. Often though the lower cost of the buckets will make up for having to buy more product than you need.
• Unless you buy multiple Green Glue Dispensing Guns then you will be limited to one 'application station'. For most jobs this will not be an issue. Larger jobs could benefit from having multiple people applying at one time.
• The Green Glue Dispensing Gun requires cleanup when you are finished using it. Cleanup is very easy and quick, but some jobs do not have the necessary water pressure to accommodate this requirement.

Green Glue Compound is fast to install, easy to use, highly cost effective, and it works. Independent lab tests prove that just one layer of Green Glue Compound between two layers of drywall or other similar building material will achieve an STC rating that will satisfy even the most stringent building codes. Unlike competitive soundproofing products, Green Glue Compound cuts out the low frequency noises commonly produced by home entertainment, theater systems, and band rehearsal areas. Applying Green Glue Compound using regular caulking tubes is the most popular method of applying Green Glue Compound. It is simple to open the tubes and there is no clean-up involved. For large projects you can have multiple people applying the Green Glue Compound with caulking guns, making installation very quick.

Starting at around 65¢ per square foot, Green Glue Compound delivers unbeatable value and performance. It is perfect for residential and commercial use and is just as easy to use in new construction as it is on existing walls or in renovation projects.
