I have watched expert drywallers. They take that dry powder and rapidly whip to to the optimum consistency and swipe it onto the wall beautifully. I can not do that.
For me, the best way is to go down to Home Depot and buy a box of pre-mixed "Topping Mix" ( the most easily sanded of the mixes), apply it as carefully (a mess) as I can, and then, just as it starts to set up, hit it with a wet, small poor sponge. The wet sponge at the end saves me a great deal of sanding. Unfortunately, again, I am not good enough at the practice to avoid all of the sanding. Avoid the "Jointing Mix" at all costs, unless you just love a difficult time sanding the final product. At 12:05 PM 9/8/2003 -0400, you wrote: >Mark, > >Your update was great.
