A joint is formed between adjacent sheets of wall board, particularly in the fabrication of ceiling assemblies in manufactured housing, by applying a pressure-sensitive imperforate paper tape, burnishing it, wetting it, and then applying flexible joint compound over the tape. The flexible joint compound rapidly forms a skin which will receive paint, texture coating, or other finish prior to the complete curing of the flexible joint compound. The retained flexibility of the flexible joint compound, which lasts for at least twenty-four hours, permits the joint to be tolerant of displacement, such as the racking and twisting imposed on a ceiling assembly in transportation.

[ I claim:] [7.]7. A method for forming a transportable wall board assembly for installation in a manufactured housing unit, comprising the steps of:positioning two wall board panels adjacent one another to define a joint between the adjacent panels;applying pressure-sensitive self-adhesive unperforated tape to bridge the joint between two adjacent wall board panels, the unperforated tape having a surface which faces outwardly;applying a flexible joint compound over the outwardly facing tape surface; andapplying a finish over the applied flexible joint compound after it has formed a skin which will receive said finish, but before the flexible joint compound has completely hardened;moving the wall board assembly from the location at which it was formed while the flexible joint compound is still tolerant of displacement.
