In general, the present invention is directed to a building panel, such as a gypsum board, comprising a core having a first side and a second side opposing the first side and at least one facing material having a coating comprising at least one fungicide, at least one polymeric binder, and at least one pigment. The panel satisfies at least one of the following: the board exhibits a rating of 2 or less when tested in accordance to ASTM G21-15 or the board exhibits a rating of at least 8 when tested in accordance to ASTM D3273-16. The panel may also exhibit at least a Level 3 finish.

In the present disclosure, a method of forming a gypsum panel is disclosed. The method comprises: providing a first facing material, forming a starch slurry by combining starch and water at a shear rate of 3,000 rpm or more, providing the starch slurry onto the first facing material, depositing a gypsum slurry comprising stucco and water onto the starch slurry on the first facing material, providing a second facing material on the gypsum slurry, and allowing the stucco to convert to calcium sulfate dihydrate.

A method of making a setting type compound by injecting an activator compound into a plaster compound wherein the activator compound tube is coaxial and within the plaster compound tube, each at the same flowrate, the same pressure and the same viscosity. The cross sectional transverse areas of an annulus containing the plaster compound and the hole in the annulus containing the activator compound are the same.
