Knowing when to fold them is the hardest thing to learn. This was a good example in showing an imperfect scenario, yet perfect example of what the average DIYer has to deal with. Especially on older homes that have been... well "messed with" in weird ways. Was about to F bomb but I'm sure you understand the frustration.

I have remodeled darn near my entire house (1400sqft, 11 rooms) over the last 11 years. I thought I was good at drywall and finishing until I stumbled onto one of your videos about 2 months ago. Since then, my finishing game has taken off... that sounds bad... my drywall finishing. You have shown me tips and tricks that have cut my time by about 75%. So well, I helped a family member do his new bedroom, after a horrible hanging job mind you, in 3 coats, which took me 8 hours including the sanding and fixing some really bad issues from the hanging. I only wish I had a Festool sander to speed up that part, but no way can I justify that purchase as a "hobbyist". Lol. Thanks for the great videos, you have taught me so much.

I'm fine having the area pitted on corner beads next to outlets instead of a raised area like 2:46 . the area that he's smoothing, I do put mud there on the 1st coat, but the level above and below that outlet are allowed to be thicker from doing that 8" blade feather, so when it dries you just fill that middle area later making it match with the rest. makes the outlet covers look consistently flush around corner beads. it's not the fastest method but the finish is kickass for high end custom homes.

That's my method. I have no skill at skimming or feathering. If I try to feather by applying different amounts of pressure to the sides of the blade I either scrape off all the mud or I leave gouges. So instead of going down the wall trying to feather I go across and change the amount of pressure I put on the tool to "feather" it. It leaves lots of lift offs, but if I try to fix the lift offs then it just gets messed up worse. I leave the lift offs, make sure there is enough mud, and sand the excess off later. If there are any small gouges or divots after sanding then I get the soft patching mud that starts pink and dries white. Using a small tool I press the pink stuff into the gouges and divots and scrape off all the excess so very little sanding is required. This pink process might take a couple applications to get all the spots filled, but once dried and sanded it looks as good as skimming to me. The problem with the pink stuff is you never get good quality if you buy the large containers of it. 2 out of 3 times the large container is dried out like playdoh. It might be pink like it's wet but it will NOT spread onto the wall. It just rolls up into balls and falls off. Never buy the large or medium size containers of the pink stuff. It's a pain but only buy the small ones. Even if you've used the small ones and put the lid on and left them for days or weeks, they still stay soft. You can't add water to the large ones to make them soft. The water just won't mix in. It's called DAP DryDex.

I'm trying to figure out "put on too tight" term, I bet you are saying the corner ridge, where the two sides meet is put in so tight that the ridge is lower than the wall surface on one side, giving you less space to have a proper fill of mud? I've been using the "needs more mud" term a lot ;) so your 6" knife, using it with convex out, (bump out) ? did you put the curve in it or did it come that way? I didn't know if I should start with a mud tub or hawk, i bought the tub, but I bet the advantage of the hawk is you don't have to clean out dried mud as you are working because you are continuously using all the mud and you are using a clean surface with no walls or corners like the tub. Darn, I bought a plastic tub and it has metal edges inserted in it which makes a little ledge that holds mud to harden on it. A metal one doesn't have those ledges. You save me years of trial and error to gather the experience that you share. I'm 64 and always avoided mudding. Never had anyone who knew anything about it.
