Reddit brother. The board is 5/8 thick but it’s cut before the stud so the board has a slight bend. If you’re going to complete this job use 1/2 drywall because you can always add on with plaster to make a nice joint. If you buy 5/8 you MIGHT get a bump…….. but you have 7/8 to play so you can just go light on the compound. Either way you have play room, good luck sincerely a framing and drywall contractor
