Disclosed are aspects of board finishing systems. For example, in various aspects, disclosed are joint compound compositions, wall assemblies, methods of treating walls, and products related to any of the foregoing, including reinforcement trim, e.g., for protecting corners where boards meet, fasteners, and tape. The joint compound preferably is a drying type composition with reduced shrinkage property, and includes binder and hollow spheres, resulting in an ultra lightweight formulation in some embodiments. The joint compound composition can be applied in a one-coat treatment in preferred embodiments. Other aspects of board finishing system accommodate such a one-coat treatment to thusly allow a user to manipulate the compound closer to the plane of board as compared with conventional formulations. Joint tape and reinforcement trim can include non-swelling synthetic paper facing material in some embodiments.

1. A drying-type joint compound composition comprising: (a) binder selected from acrylic acid polymers, acrylic acid copolymers, alkyds, polyurethanes, polyesters, epoxies, and combinations thereof; and(b) a plurality of hollow spheres, wherein the spheres have an average isostatic crush strength of at least about 100 psi, as measured according to ASTM D3102-78. 2. The joint compound composition of claim 1, wherein the binder is an acrylic acid polymer or acrylic acid copolymer. 3. The joint compound composition of claim 1, wherein the binder is in the form of an aqueous emulsion. 4. The joint compound composition of claim 1, wherein the composition has a density from about 2 lb/gal to about 8 lb/gal. 5. The joint compound composition of claim 1, wherein the composition exhibits a shrinkage of about 2% or less, as measured by ASTM C474-05. 6. The joint compound composition of claim 1, wherein the composition is substantially free of setting minerals, bulk filler, clays, starch, mica, or a combination thereof. 7. The joint compound composition of claim 1, wherein the composition is substantially free of calcium carbonate, expanded perlite, calcium magnesium carbonate, limestone, calcium sulfate dihydrate, attapulgite clay, kaolin clay, talcs, diatomaceous earth, or a combination thereof. 8. The joint compound composition of claim 1, wherein the binder has a glass transition temperature (Tg) from about 32° F. to about 70° F. 9. The joint compound composition of claim 1, wherein the binder has a minimum film forming temperature (MMFT) from about 32° F. to about 90° F. 10. The joint compound composition of claim 1, wherein the spheres have an isostatic crush strength of at least about 250 psi. 11. The joint compound composition of claim 1, wherein the spheres have a density from about 0.0015 lb/in3 to about 0.04 lb/in3. 12. The joint compound composition of claim 1, wherein the spheres comprise lime boro-silicate, polystyrene, ceramic, recycled-glass, expanded glass, and lightweight polyolefin beads, thermoplastic, thermoset, or any combination thereof. 13. The joint compound composition of claim 1, further comprising a nonionic surfactant having a hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) from about 3 to about 20. 14. The drying-type joint compound composition of claim 1, wherein the binder is in an amount from about 3% to about 90% by weight of the wet composition. 15. The drying-type joint compound composition of claim 1, wherein the spheres are present in an amount from about 5% to about 25% by weight of the wet composition. 16. The drying-type joint compound composition of claim 1, further comprising at least one of the following: a nonionic surfactant in an amount from about 0.001% to about 5% by weight of the wet composition; a humectant in an amount from about 0.001% to about 3% by weight of the wet composition; a defoamer in an amount from about 0.05% to about 5% by weight of the wet composition; a rheological modifier in an amount from about 0.1% to about 5% by weight of the wet composition; and a biocide, in an amount from about 0.1% to about 1.5% by weight of the wet composition. 17. A wall assembly comprising: (a) two adjacent boards, joined by a seam;(b) only one-coat of the joint compound composition of claim 1 in the seam to provide a uniform aesthetic appearance; and(c) dimensionally stable non-swelling flat joint tape embedded in the seam. 18. The wall assembly of claim 17, wherein at least one board has a tapered edge adjacent to the seam, the taper having a maximum depth of about 0.125 inch (≈0.318 cm) or less. 19. The wall assembly of claim 17, the boards comprising opposing face and back surfaces, wherein the faces of two adjacent boards are disposed with respect to each other to define an inside corner with a corner angle between the board faces from about 30° to about 180°. 20. The wall assembly of claim 19, further comprising reinforcement trim disposed over the seam, wherein the trim comprises (i) a facing material comprising paper having a dimensional stability of less than about 0.4% machine direction expansion and less than about 2.5% cross direction expansion after 30 minute immersion in water, as measured according to ASTM C474-05, Section 12, and (ii) a reinforcement backing comprising paper, plastic, natural or synthetic fiber, carbon fiber, polyester, polycarbonate, fiberglass, non-woven natural or synthetic materials, woven natural or synthetic materials, spun polyolefin, or metal, wherein the backing has a thickness from about 0.012 inches to about 0.0625 inches. 21. The wall assembly of claim 20, further comprising adhesive for at least partially affixing the reinforcement trim to the edges of the board. 22. The wall assembly of claim 17, the boards comprising opposing face and back surfaces, wherein the faces of two adjacent boards are disposed with respect to each other to define an outside corner with an angle between the board faces from about 180° to about 300°. 23. The wall assembly of claim 17, further comprising at least one framing member and adhesive, wherein the adhesive at least partially affixes at least one board to the framing member. 24.
