Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk

For double-layer drywall laminating, a 10 gauge coarse thread bugle head screw gives the holding power a fine thread drywall screw lacks, and the bugle head countersins cleanly into the face layer. Space fasteners roughly per your drywall specification (commonly 8-12 in. on ceilings and walls for laminating layers) and drive with a #2 Phillips bit on an adjustable-clutch screwgun to avoid breaking the paper face. Because these are phosphate-finished, keep them indoors and switch to a corrosion-resistant fastener for damp or exterior work.

Screw points are sharp; keep boxes closed when not in use and wear gloves and eye protection when handling and driving fasteners.
