Drywall mud drying in cold weather - new home construction

[Daniel Alfandre]

Anyone have any alternative to propane heaters or space heaters in general for drywall mud?  Anyone successful being able to turn on the central heat (gas furnace) before drywall starts?

 I would strongly recommend against turning on the homes heating system as you will get all the dust, debris etc. within the new system which can have a big impact on the system.

Temp heat is the best way to go, which sometimes it is just still too cold and you may just have to shut the project down for a few days or weeks.
