I saw the mixes concerning that as well (I too have gone through thousands of posts). Silverscreen seems SO EASY to apply compared to max mud. It has 3 components instead of 6. I will not be spraying as I am going to be painting on a wall (currently finished drywall with mudding done).
I am not quite sure which route I am going to take. I actually really want to do maxxxmud, i just don't want to screw it up!
