What the plant made

According to the 1986 answers, plasters came first after Textone: Red Top Patching Plaster from 1929 to 1947, Red Top Trowel Finish from 1930 to 1935, Sabinite, an acoustical plaster, from 1930 to 1964 (the last year marked with an asterisk), and Oriental Exterior Finish Stucco from 1930 to 1972.2 Oriental Interior Finish Plaster followed from 1942 to 1972, and Textone, a texture, from 1944 to 1975.2 The answers give Paste Spackling Putty from 1952 to 1975; Audicote and Hi-Lite, both acoustical plasters, from 1955 to 1972; and Red Top Structo-Lite Gypsum Plaster for Machine Application from 1955 to 1962.2 Then came A-B TEX, a texture paint, in "1959 only"; FIRECODE D, a fireproofing plaster, from 1959 to 1964 and FIRECODE V from 1964 to 1968; Texolite, a texture, from 1961 to 1967; Imperial QT from 1964 to 1976; and Pyrobar Mortar Mix from 1969 to 1972.2 The 1988 answers give the same dates, with the names of the first six plasters cut off on the page, and add joint compounds, first produced in the "1920s?" and last produced in 1976.1

Where the sources differ

A 1990 notice listing what U.S. Gypsum reported about its products names New Brighton among the plants for several of these lines, sometimes with other dates.3 It gives Textone Texture Finish "1928 to 1977 at 7 plants" and A.B. Tex Texture Paint "1935 to 1974 at 7 plants"; those dates are for all the plants together, not New Brighton alone.3 For Texolite it lists Block Filler from 1958 "to an unknown date," Dry Fill texture from 1959 to 1961, and Drywall Surfacer, Aggregated, from 1961 to 1977.3 For Imperial it lists several "QT" spray texture finishes, among them the Regular finish from 1964 to 1976 and the Extra Hard Fine from 1964 to 1974.3 The notice also names New Brighton among the plants for the Firecode D & V plasters: Red Top Firecode Plaster (D), "1959 to 1964 at 12 plants," and Red Top Firecode "V" Plaster, "1962 to 1969 at 16 plants."3
