If I can suggest an alternative. I had a recent open house at my layout and when I showed those who asked I recieved a number of nods of approval. Acoustical ceiling tile. I use the back which has a solid surface and is a brownish gray color. They come in 2'x4' sheets and in packages of 5 or 10 at most major outlets. And its quite a bit cheaper than homasote. I glue the sheets down staggering the joints over the plywood joints and then paint the backs a dark color. The material is a bit softer so it does not hold track nails as solidly as homasote. But I usually end up gluing my track down anyway with construction adhesive so I don't need nails. The sound deadening is just as good. Maybe give it a try. <br />John
