   You can get a drywall adhesive at at most lumber yards. The Sherwin-Williams store here sells it at a good price. Around here, all of the professional drywall hangers use it on ceilings and walls. They nail (or screw) at the edges but not in the field. Next time you see a new house being drywalled stop, take a look, and if they are glueing, talk to the crew about it. Don't use construction adhesive. It will not span the gaps like drywall adhesive.

   *Since there's two sides to the wall, wouldn't you be better off replacing that stud or "breaking" it (cutting most of the way through on the concave side >),pulling it straight and scabbing another pc to the side). If you use a circ. saw to make the cut, be extremely careful of binding and kick back! Concave on one side of the wall is bulge on the other. You can still use drywall adhesive if you want. Haven't seen that done for a long time around here. Best of luck.

   My wife and I are preparing to sheetrock
   our DIY home and were wondering if any of you more persistant builders out there ever use adhesive to hang drywall.
   Would this help to straighten out the kinks in badly weathered pine framing members? e.g. pressing the board onto the wall and then letting it spring back
   to its original flat surface. We used to
   do this with paneling and it worked pretty well. I'm hesitant to experiment
   with drywall because of the mess it will make if it doesn't work. Any comments
   would be appreciated
