1. A sound damping wallboard, comprising:
- a first gypsum layer having a first side with a first gypsum surface;
a first paper encasing layer partially covering the first gypsum surface to form a first paper encasing layer portion and a first gypsum surface portion on the first side;
a sound damping layer on the first side and covering at least part of the first paper encasing layer portion and the first gypsum surface portion wherein the sound damping layer is formed from a viscoelastic polymer;
a second gypsum layer having a second side with a second gypsum surface; and
a second paper encasing layer partially covering the second gypsum surface to form a second paper encasing layer portion and a second gypsum surface portion on the second side;
wherein the sound damping layer is positioned between the first side of the first gypsum layer and the second side of the second gypsum layer.
