Mudding and sanding is an art; more so than almost any other home building process IMO.
I've found that even reading about and testing techniques that i can't seem to get a smooth surface that won't stick out from the background board, yet my wife can feather in the edges to make a patch unnoticeable.
Obviously she's more artistic with clay.
I'm more like Patrick Swayze in Ghost where he comes in behind Demi Moore and utterly ruins the clay pot.
Ya, that's who i'm like....Patrick Swayze.
